Vehicle Pickup
The tow truck will arrive at your location on the scheduled date. Ensure you have all necessary documentation ready for a smooth pickup process.
Receive Your Tax Receipt
After your vehicle is auctioned, we’ll mail you a tax receipt (IRS 1098-C) reflecting the final sale amount, which you can use for tax deduction purposes.
What you need ready
- Vehicle title (signed over if available)
- Keys to the vehicle
- Signed release form, if applicable
- Current address for pickup
- Clear access to the vehicle for the tow truck
Honest expectations
While we strive for same-day pickups, availability can vary based on location and scheduling. Expect pickups to occur within a few days in most cases. Our team works diligently to accommodate your needs, but weekend or after-hours pickups may have longer wait times. Please remember that towing is always free, and any costs are covered by auction proceeds.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatch team works closely with a trusted network of tow operators, ensuring timely and efficient pickups. You’ll receive updates throughout the process, including when the tow truck is en route to your location. Communication is key, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about your pickup status.
