How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Your Pickup
Once you decide to donate, you can easily schedule a pickup time that works best for you. We’ll coordinate with our flatbed towing service for safe transportation.
Prepare Your Vehicle
If possible, try to jump-start your vehicle one last time to confirm the issue. You’ll also need to have the vehicle title and keys ready for a smooth pickup.
Flatbed Tow Arrives
Our professional towing team will arrive in a flatbed truck to safely load your vehicle. We'll handle all the heavy lifting to avoid further damage to the car.
Complete the Donation
After loading your vehicle, we'll provide you with a donation receipt. This includes the necessary details for your tax deduction and completes the process.
Honest value expectations
We believe in transparency regarding the value of your donation. If your vehicle simply has a dead battery or minor repair needs, you might see a value closer to the running-condition range of $800 to $2,000. However, for more serious issues like a seized engine or head-gasket failure, the parts-value range typically falls between $200 and $600. Understanding this helps set realistic expectations for your 1098-C tax receipt.
Diagnose or donate?
Before spending money on diagnostics, consider the potential repair costs. If you suspect repairs could run $3,000 or more, donating your vehicle as-is may be a better option. You can skip the hassle and expenses of diagnostics and repairs by letting us handle the donation process.
