How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Pickup
Once you confirm your donation, we’ll arrange a convenient time for our tow team to pick up your vehicle. We work around your schedule to ensure a hassle-free experience.
Documentation Verification
Our team will verify that you have the salvage or rebuilt title and any other necessary documents. This ensures a smooth transition from donor to charity.
Vehicle Collection
Our flatbed tow truck will arrive to collect your vehicle, making sure it’s done safely and without any additional costs to you.
Tax Deduction Documentation
After pickup, we’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C so you can claim your tax deduction based on the actual sale proceeds from the auction.
Honest value expectations
When donating a totaled vehicle, it’s important to understand what you can expect in terms of value. Typically, the auction sale proceeds for vehicles with salvage or rebuilt titles range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the make and model. While luxury vehicles or trucks may fetch a higher value due to parts demand, we advise managing expectations, as your vehicle’s condition will ultimately influence the final amount.
Diagnose or donate?
If you're contemplating spending money on diagnostics or repairs for your totaled car, consider whether it’s worth the expense. In many cases, the costs can exceed the potential value gained from repair. Donating your vehicle as-is can save you both time and money, while also allowing you to claim a tax deduction based on the auction sale price.
