What you need ready

Honest expectations

While we strive to offer quick pickups, same-day service may not always be feasible, especially during peak times or in rural areas. If you request a weekend or after-hours pickup, we will do our best to accommodate, but these requests can be limited based on our towing network availability. Also, please note that while we aim to handle all vehicles, certain restrictions may apply to impounded cars or those in extremely rural locations.

How pickup logistics work

Our dispatch center coordinates with a network of trusted tow operators to ensure your vehicle is picked up efficiently. Upon scheduling your pickup, our dispatcher will match you with the nearest available tow truck. You'll receive updates regarding the driver’s estimated arrival time, ensuring you’re informed throughout the process. It’s all about smooth communication and reliable logistics.

Knoxville pickup notes

Knoxville offers a well-connected towing network, but urban and suburban areas may have different restrictions compared to rural settings. Be mindful of local HOA permits, street parking regulations, and the accessibility of your vehicle for tow trucks. We recommend confirming your vehicle's location and ease of access to streamline the pickup process.

FAQ

Yes! The proceeds from the auction of your donated vehicle cover towing costs. There are no charges to you, making the process completely free.
What types of vehicles can you pick up?
We can pick up most vehicles nationwide, including non-running, partial, and totaled cars. However, exceptions exist for impounded vehicles or those in extreme rural locales.
How does the towing process work?
Once you submit your donation form, we’ll confirm details with you and schedule a pickup. Our tow truck will arrive at your chosen time to collect your vehicle.
Will I receive a tax deduction for my donation?

Do I need to be present for the pickup?
Ideally, yes. However, if you cannot be there, you can leave the necessary paperwork and keys with someone else, as long as they know to expect the tow.

We can still pick up partially running vehicles. However, keep in mind that the condition affects auction proceeds, which will determine your tax deduction.
