How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule a Pickup
Contact us to schedule a pickup at your convenience. We'll work with you to set a time that fits your schedule. Our flatbed towing service is always available for damaged vehicles.
Prepare for Pickup
Please secure any loose parts and ensure your vehicle is accessible. If your vehicle is leaking fluids, we use a drip tray to protect the environment during transport.
Towing Service Arrives
Our professional towing team will arrive in a flatbed truck to safely transport your wrecked car. They will handle the loading process, so you won’t have to lift a finger.
Complete the Donation
Once your vehicle is loaded, you’ll complete the necessary paperwork. We’ll provide you with a receipt for your donation, which you can use for tax purposes.
Honest value expectations
When donating a wrecked vehicle, the expected value can range from $300 to $1,500, depending on the extent of the damage and whether you hold a retained-salvage title. Vehicles with cosmetic-only damages may fetch closer to clean-title values, while parts-harvest values can increase for rare makes or models. Remember, the overall value is driven more by what you retained after insurance rather than repair feasibility.
Diagnose or donate?
Before deciding to spend money on diagnostics, consider whether the potential repair costs will outweigh the benefit of simply donating your damaged vehicle. If your car is beyond repair or if it has already been deemed totaled by your insurance, donating may be the more sensible option. This way, you can avoid additional expenses and still receive a benefit from your vehicle.
