Honest expectations
While we strive for same-day pickups, please note that it isn't always guaranteed, especially in rural areas or during high demand. If your vehicle is not in running condition, it may take longer to find an appropriate tow service. We typically operate on weekdays, but weekend or after-hours pickups can be arranged based on availability. Clear communication allows us to better meet your needs.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatchers work closely with a network of local tow operators to coordinate pickups efficiently. After you submit your donation form, you will receive a confirmation call, and our team will ensure timely communication leading up to the tow. Expect a call from the tow operator when they are on their way, so you’ll know exactly when to expect them.
St. Paul pickup notes
In St. Paul, our extensive network of local tow operators enables us to serve the community effectively. In urban areas, we can typically schedule pickups quickly, while in suburban or rural locations, it may take a bit longer due to fewer available tow services. Be mindful of local regulations, such as street-parking rules or HOA permits, which may affect where the tow can occur. Having clear access will help streamline the pickup process.
