What happens if you delay
⚠ Mounting fines
If you delay, existing tickets will continue to accrue, potentially leading to fines that could exceed $1,000. Take action now to prevent escalating costs.
⚠ Impound fees
Vehicles that are towed to an impound lot incur daily storage fees, often ranging from $40 to $100. The longer you wait, the more expensive it becomes.
⚠ Complicated donation process
If your vehicle is towed, you may face a tedious municipal auction process, making it significantly harder to donate. Act now to simplify the process before it's too late.
⚠ Release-of-liability complications
Delaying the donation means you could face issues when filing for release-of-liability with the DMV, complicating your vehicle’s status and increasing your risk of fines.
