What you don't need to worry about

How pickup works for damaged vehicles

1

Schedule Your Pickup

Contact us to schedule a convenient pickup time. We’ll work with your availability to arrange a flatbed tow for your vehicle.

2

Confirm Vehicle Condition

If possible, try one last jump-start to confirm the vehicle's issue level. However, this isn't necessary; we can pick up without diagnosis.

3

Prepare for Pickup

Have the title and keys ready for the donation process. If you can’t find the keys, don’t worry; we can still accept your vehicle.

4

Towing Your Vehicle

Our flatbed towing service will safely transport your vehicle without assumptions about its drivability, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Honest value expectations

When donating a car that won't start, it's essential to have realistic expectations about its value. If the issue is minor, like a dead battery or a simple fix, your vehicle could be valued between $800 and $2,000. However, if the problem is more severe, such as a seized engine or a significant mechanical failure, the value may drop to between $200 and $600. This value will impact the proceeds from the 1098-C form, so it's good to be aware of this range when considering your donation.

Diagnose or donate?

Deciding whether to spend money on diagnostic fees or donate your vehicle can be tough. If you suspect a significant repair cost of $3,000 or more, it might be better to donate the car instead of investing in diagnostics. This way, you avoid the $200-$800 fees just to find out the true extent of the repairs. Donating can often provide a quicker, stress-free solution.

Tulsa pickup specifics
