How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Pickup
Contact us to arrange a convenient time for your vehicle pickup. Our team will coordinate with you directly for the best time slot.
Prepare Your Vehicle
Ensure any loose parts are secured before our tow truck arrives. If fluids are leaking, we will use a drip tray to minimize mess during towing.
Flatbed Towing
For wrecked vehicles, we always use a flatbed tow truck. Our professional drivers are equipped to handle your damaged car safely.
Complete the Donation
Once your vehicle is loaded, you’ll complete the necessary paperwork. This ensures you get the most benefit from your donation.
Honest value expectations
When it comes to the value of your wrecked vehicle, it’s important to be realistic. Most wrecked cars with a retained-salvage title typically range from $300 to $1,500, depending on severity and make/model. If your vehicle has total loss declared by insurance, then its value is primarily driven by parts and scrap potential. For rare vehicles, the parts-harvest value might be significantly higher. Keep in mind that cosmetic-only damage can yield a value closer to that of a clean title. We’ll ensure you receive a fair valuation based on current market conditions.
Diagnose or donate?
If your vehicle is damaged, you might wonder whether spending money on diagnostics makes sense. In many cases, it may not be worthwhile to invest in repairs or assessments, especially if your car is already wrecked. Donating your vehicle allows you to bypass repair costs altogether and could provide you with a tax deduction. If you’ve already received an insurance payout, then donating is a no-cost way to give back without any financial burden.
