If you don’t act quickly, you risk accumulating fines that can escalate beyond $1,000.

What happens if you delay
⚠ Escalating Tickets
If you do not act swiftly, existing tickets may multiply, leading you to face fines that can exceed $1,000. Early action is crucial.
⚠ Impound Fees
Once your vehicle is ticketed, you risk impoundment. Daily storage fees can range from $40 to $100, adding up quickly and complicating your situation.
⚠ Municipal Auction Process
If your vehicle is towed, the donation process becomes significantly harder. You may have to navigate through auctions, losing the chance for a smooth donation.
⚠ Time Constraints with DMV
Delayed donation can interfere with DMV procedures, making it more difficult for you to resolve any existing tickets before the vehicle's release of liability is filed.
