How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Pickup
Contact us to set up a convenient time for towing your wrecked vehicle. Our team will work with your schedule to make the process as easy as possible.
Prepare for Tow
Before the tow truck arrives, please secure any loose parts of the vehicle. If fluids are leaking, we will use a drip tray to protect your property.
Flatbed Tow Truck Arrives
A flatbed tow truck will arrive to safely transport your damaged vehicle. This is necessary for non-running cars, ensuring your vehicle is handled carefully.
Complete Donation
Once the vehicle is loaded, we’ll finalize the donation paperwork. You can rest easy knowing that you’ve made a difference without putting any money out of pocket.
Honest value expectations
When considering the value of your wrecked vehicle, it's important to be realistic. Typically, donated cars with a retained-salvage title can range from $300 to $1,500, depending on the extent of the damage. If your vehicle is a rare make or model, the parts-harvest value may be higher. Remember, cosmetic-only damage can bring you closer to clean-title values, so it's essential to understand that the condition will significantly influence the donation valuation.
Diagnose or donate?
If you’re unsure whether to spend money on diagnostics and repairs, consider this: sometimes, the costs can exceed the value of the repairs. Donating your wrecked vehicle can be an excellent way to alleviate the stress of repair decisions while still benefiting from a tax deduction. Let us help you through this process without the financial burden of repairs.
Miami pickup specifics
In Miami, flatbed towing services are common due to the number of damaged vehicles in the area, ensuring timely pickups for your wrecked car. Florida also has specific ordinances regarding abandoned vehicles, so donating your car is a proactive step to avoid any legal issues associated with an unregistered vehicle.
