How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule a Pickup
Contact us to schedule a convenient time for our flatbed towing service. We'll work with you to arrange a time that fits your schedule.
Prepare the Vehicle
Before our team arrives, please secure any loose parts that could be hazardous during the towing process. This helps ensure a safe pickup.
Towing Process
Our professional towing service will arrive with a flatbed truck, as all wrecked cars need to be transported this way. If there are any fluids leaking, we'll use a drip-tray for safety.
Documentation
After loading your vehicle, our tow team will provide you with a receipt and any necessary paperwork to finalize the donation process.
Honest value expectations
When donating a wrecked vehicle, the value you can expect typically ranges between $300 and $1,500, depending on its condition and whether it has a retained-salvage title. Severe damage may lower this estimate, while rare makes and models can yield higher parts-harvest values. Cosmetic-only damage may fetch closer to the price of a clean title. It's important to note that the value is driven more by your retained salvage post-insurance payout and repair feasibility rather than the potential for fixing the vehicle.
Diagnose or donate?
Many donors wonder if they should spend money diagnosing their vehicle before deciding to donate. If your car has been in a serious accident and you’re unsure about the repair costs, it often makes more sense to donate rather than invest in diagnostics. We accept vehicles in any condition, so you can bypass potential expenses and help those in need instead.
Alaska pickup specifics
In Alaska, flatbed towing services are essential for picking up damaged vehicles, and we have a network of reliable operators familiar with the unique logistics of our state. Additionally, it's essential to understand local ordinances regarding abandoned vehicles; if you have a non-running car sitting idle, donating it is a proactive and responsible solution.
