How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Your Pickup
Simply contact us to arrange a pickup time that works for you. We’ll discuss the condition of your vehicle and finalize the details over the phone.
Prepare Your Vehicle
You don’t need to worry about repairs or diagnostics. Just ensure your vehicle is accessible for our flatbed tow truck. Keys and title information are helpful but not mandatory.
Flatbed Towing
Our team will arrive with a flatbed tow truck, ensuring a safe and reliable transport for your vehicle. No assumptions about the ability to tow by wheel—safety is our priority.
Receive Your Donation Receipt
Once your vehicle is loaded, you’ll receive a donation receipt to use for tax purposes. If the vehicle sells for more than $500, a detailed 1098-C form will be provided.
Honest value expectations
When donating a vehicle that won’t start, it’s essential to understand the potential value ranges. If your car has a minor issue like a dead battery, it might fetch a value closer to running-condition estimates, typically between $800 and $2,000. However, for more significant issues, such as a seized engine or major repairs, the value could drop to the parts-value range of $200 to $600. Being aware of these expectations helps you make the most out of your donation.
Diagnose or donate?
Before spending money on diagnostics, consider if it’s worth it. A diagnostic fee can range from $200 to $800, and if the repairs are substantial (like over $3,000), it may not be financially prudent. Donating your car allows you to bypass this uncertainty and potentially gain a tax benefit without incurring additional costs.
