How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Contact Us
Start by reaching out to Coastal Wheels. We'll ask some basic questions about your vehicle's condition, location, and schedule a convenient pickup time.
Secure Loose Parts
Before our flatbed arrives, please secure any loose parts of the vehicle. This ensures a safe and efficient pickup process.
Schedule the Tow
Our towing service is specifically equipped for non-running vehicles, ensuring your wrecked car is safely transported without additional damage.
Pickup and Paperwork
When the flatbed arrives, our team will handle all necessary paperwork. You’ll need to sign the title over to us, and then we’ll take care of the rest.
Honest value expectations
When donating a wrecked vehicle, you can expect a donation value primarily based on the retained-salvage title, which typically ranges from $300 to $1,500. Factors influencing this value include the severity of the damage and the make/model of the car. Vehicles with rare parts may have a higher parts-harvest value, while those with only cosmetic damage may yield closer to the value of a clean title. Transparency is key, so expect an honest evaluation based on your vehicle's specific condition.
Diagnose or donate?
Before you decide to spend money on diagnostics for your damaged vehicle, consider if that expense is worth it. If you already have a wrecked car that is likely beyond repair, donating it directly to Coastal Wheels can be a more beneficial option. You’ll save the hassle and cost while still receiving a potential tax deduction. Let us take it off your hands!
