How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Pickup
Once you decide to donate your wrecked car, simply reach out to us for scheduling. We’ll arrange a time that works for you to have the vehicle picked up.
Preparation
Before our tow truck arrives, please ensure any loose parts are secured. If the vehicle is leaking fluids, don’t worry; we’ll have a drip tray ready.
Towing
Our professional flatbed tow truck will arrive at the scheduled time. Due to the vehicle's condition, we always use a flatbed to safely transport the wrecked car.
Completion
After the vehicle is loaded, you’ll receive a receipt confirming your donation. This document is essential for your tax records and confirms your charitable contribution.
Honest value expectations
When you donate a wrecked vehicle, the expected value can vary based on its condition and potential salvage value. Typically, you can expect anywhere from $300 to $1,500, depending on the severity of the damage and whether you have retained the salvage title post-insurance. Vehicles with cosmetic damage often fetch a value closer to those with clean titles. If you have a rare model, parts-harvest value can be much higher, so it’s worth considering your vehicle’s make and model.
Diagnose or donate?
Before you decide to spend money on diagnostics or minor repairs, consider donating your vehicle instead. If your car has significant damage, the cost of repairs may not be justified, especially when you can donate it with no upfront expenses. Many insurance companies also provide an Actual Cash Value (ACV) payout, which means your donation could be an extra benefit without any financial commitment.
