How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule a Pickup
Contact us to schedule a flatbed pickup at your convenience. Our team will guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have about the donation.
Prepare Your Vehicle
Before the tow arrives, please secure any loose parts on the vehicle. If you notice any fluids leaking, don’t worry; our towing service will bring a drip-tray to contain spills.
Flatbed Tow Arrives
Our professional towing team will arrive with a flatbed truck, as it is the required method for hauling wrecked vehicles. They will load the car safely and efficiently.
Complete the Donation
Once the vehicle is loaded, you’ll complete the donation paperwork. We’ll provide a receipt that you can use for tax purposes.
Honest value expectations
When it comes to the value of your wrecked vehicle, it can vary significantly based on its condition and the insurance outcomes. Generally, you can expect a range from $300 to $1,500, especially if it has a retained-salvage title due to being totaled. On rare makes and models, the parts-harvest value can be higher. Vehicles with cosmetic-only damage might yield closer to clean-title values, but every situation is unique. We promise transparent and fair valuation based on the specifics of your vehicle.
Diagnose or donate?
Before deciding to spend money on diagnostics and repairs, consider the value of your vehicle in its current state. If your vehicle has significant post-collision damage, it may not be worth the investment to repair it. Donating it as-is could provide you with benefits without the financial burden of restoration. We recommend evaluating the potential return on your investment in repairs versus the straightforward process of donating to Bluegrass Wheels.
