How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule the Pickup
Contact us at Heart Wheels to arrange a pickup time that works for you. We will coordinate a flatbed towing service to ensure safe transportation of your wrecked vehicle.
Prepare the Vehicle
Before our towing service arrives, make sure to secure any loose parts to prevent further damage during transport. Do not worry if fluids are leaking; our team will use drip trays when necessary.
Pickup by Flatbed
Our towing service will arrive with a flatbed truck, as this is required for safe transport of damaged vehicles. They will carefully load your vehicle and handle everything without any need for your involvement.
Receive Confirmation
Once your vehicle is successfully picked up, you will receive confirmation via email. This will include important details for your tax records, as well as any relevant information about the donation.
Honest value expectations
When donating a wrecked vehicle, it’s important to have realistic expectations regarding its value. Generally, you can expect a value between $300 and $1,500, mainly depending on its salvage title status and condition. Vehicles that are deemed totaled and have a retained-salvage title usually fall within this range. Conversely, cars with only cosmetic damage might yield a value closer to the clean-title equivalent. Unique makes or models may have higher parts-harvest values, so the potential for a better return exists!
Diagnose or donate?
If you’re considering whether to spend money on diagnosing your vehicle, think about it carefully. Spending on diagnostics could prove unnecessary, especially since you can donate the car as-is. Many donors have found that their insurance company has already compensated them at the actual cash value (ACV), making the donation a straightforward and beneficial option without additional expenses.
Nevada pickup specifics
In Nevada, towing services equipped for flatbed pickups are readily available, ensuring your damaged vehicle is transported safely and securely. Additionally, Nevada has regulations in place regarding abandoned vehicles, which can be helpful if your car has been sitting for an extended period. By donating your wrecked car, you’re avoiding any complications related to these local ordinances.
