How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule a pickup
Once you reach out to us, we’ll set up a convenient time for our flatbed tow truck to come get your vehicle, ensuring a safe and secure pickup.
Jump-start option
If you’d like, you can attempt a final jump-start before our team arrives. This helps us confirm the vehicle's issue level, but it's not required for the donation.
Prepare your paperwork
Make sure to have your vehicle title ready for transfer. While the keys are optional, having them can make the process smoother.
On-site pickup
Our friendly tow operator will arrive at the scheduled time to collect your vehicle. They’ll handle everything, so you can relax.
Honest value expectations
When it comes to the value of your non-starting vehicle, the expected range can vary significantly. If it turns out to be a simple issue like a dead battery or minor repair, you might see values closer to the running-condition range of $800 to $2,000. However, if your car has more serious problems—a seized engine or head-gasket failure, for instance—values could range between $200 and $600. Understanding these ranges can help you gauge your donation's potential IRS 1098-C sale proceeds and tax benefits.
Diagnose or donate?
Considering whether to spend money on diagnostics or simply donate your vehicle? Spending $200 to $800 to determine an expensive repair could be frustrating when the repair costs may exceed the vehicle's value. If you suspect costly repairs, it might be more beneficial to donate your car and avoid the hassle. Donating allows you to skip the uncertainty, and you’ll still receive a tax deduction based on the vehicle’s assessed value upon donation.
