How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Your Pickup
Contact us to arrange a pickup time that works for you. We will confirm the details and ensure our flatbed service is prepared to handle your wrecked vehicle.
Prepare Your Vehicle
Before our tow driver arrives, secure any loose parts. Don’t worry about diagnosing issues; just make sure the vehicle is accessible for the flatbed tow.
Towing Process
Our flatbed towing service will arrive at the scheduled time. They will carefully load your wrecked vehicle onto the truck to ensure no additional damage occurs.
Complete the Paperwork
Once your vehicle is loaded, our driver will help you complete the necessary paperwork, ensuring you have everything you need for tax purposes.
Enjoy Your Tax Deduction
After donation, you'll receive a tax receipt, allowing you to benefit from potential deductions while contributing to a good cause.
Honest value expectations
When it comes to the value of your wrecked car donation, it's essential to have realistic expectations. The worth is typically driven by the vehicle's salvage title and its condition post-accident. You might see values ranging from $300 to $1,500, depending on the severity of the damage. For rare makes and models, the parts-harvest value may be higher. If your vehicle has only cosmetic damage, it could be valued closer to a clean-title amount. We encourage you to understand that each vehicle is unique and value will vary.
Diagnose or donate?
If you're considering spending money on diagnostics before donating, think carefully about your options. Often, the cost of diagnostics can outweigh any potential value from repairs, especially for a wrecked vehicle. If you’ve already received an insurance payout, donating your vehicle could be a smart move, allowing you to gain additional benefits without any out-of-pocket expenses.
