How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule a Pickup
Contact us via phone or our website to schedule a convenient pickup time. Our flatbed towing service will arrive based on your availability.
Prepare Your Vehicle
Before our team arrives, please secure any loose parts and ensure the vehicle is accessible. If fluids are leaking, we will bring a drip tray for safe transport.

Our flatbed tow truck will safely load your wrecked vehicle. We’ll ensure it’s handled with care to avoid any further damage during transport.
Documentation
Once your vehicle is loaded, we’ll provide you with the necessary donation paperwork, including tax deduction information, so you can easily document your donation.
Honest value expectations
When donating a wrecked vehicle, it's important to understand what you can realistically expect in terms of value. Typically, vehicles with a retained-salvage title post-accident might yield between $300 to $1,500, depending on the extent of the damage and parts value. For rare makes or models, the parts-harvest value could be higher, while vehicles with cosmetic damage might approach clean-title value. Remember, your vehicle’s condition plays a significant role in determining its value.
Diagnose or donate?
Wondering whether to spend money diagnosing your vehicle or just donate it? If your car is significantly damaged, often, the cost of assessing the repairs won't provide a return on investment. Donating it directly can be a financially savvy decision, especially if your insurance has already compensated you for its value. Save your time and effort for something that truly counts—donate your vehicle to Wheel of Hope instead.
