How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Pickup
Once you decide to donate, contact us to schedule a pickup time. We'll work around your schedule to make it as convenient as possible.
Prepare Vehicle
Before our flatbed arrives, please secure any loose parts to ensure a safe pickup. You don't need to worry about diagnosing or repairing the vehicle.
Flatbed Tow Arrives
Our towing service will arrive with a flatbed truck to safely transport your wrecked vehicle. If there are fluid leaks, a drip tray will be used to protect the environment.
Complete Donation
Once the vehicle is loaded, we’ll complete the paperwork to finalize your donation. You’ll receive a receipt for tax purposes, ensuring you can claim your contribution.
Honest value expectations
The value of your donated wrecked vehicle can vary significantly based on its condition and salvage potential. Typically, a wrecked car with a retained-salvage title could bring between $300 and $1,500, depending on the severity of the damage. If your vehicle is a rare make or model, parts-harvest values may increase its worth. If the damage is primarily cosmetic, the value might be closer to that of a clean title. Rest assured, we provide an honest evaluation process.
Diagnose or donate?
Deciding whether to spend money on diagnostic work for your wrecked vehicle can be tough. Oftentimes, the cost of diagnosing the problem might exceed the potential value gained from repairs. If your car has significant post-accident damage, donating it can be a more practical choice. Donate today and turn your vehicle into a tax-deductible contribution without additional expenses.
