How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Pickup
Once you donate your wrecked vehicle, we’ll coordinate with you to schedule a pickup at your convenience. Just let us know when works best.
Prepare the Vehicle
Before our towing team arrives, please secure any loose parts to ensure a safe and efficient pickup. If fluids are leaking, we’ll use a drip tray to manage it.
Flatbed Tow Arrives
Our flatbed towing service will arrive at the scheduled time. They are specially equipped to handle damaged vehicles and ensure everything goes smoothly.
Vehicle Loaded and Transported
The tow team will load your vehicle carefully and transport it to our facility, where it will be evaluated for auction or salvage purposes.
Honest value expectations
When donating a wrecked vehicle, the value you can expect typically ranges from $300 to $1,500. This range largely depends on the car's condition and whether it has a retained-salvage title. For instance, vehicles with significant body damage or deployed airbags may be on the lower end, while rare makes or models that can be harvested for parts might fetch a higher price. Understanding that cosmetic-only damage could bring you closer to the clean-title value is essential for setting realistic expectations.
Diagnose or donate?
Wondering whether to spend money on diagnostics before donating? In many cases, it doesn’t make financial sense, especially if your vehicle is severely damaged. The potential cost of repairs or diagnosis can outweigh the value you might receive from a sale. Donating your vehicle allows you to avoid these expenses entirely while still providing a vehicle that can benefit others.
Mobile pickup specifics
