Honest expectations
While we aim to provide same-day service whenever possible, actual availability can vary greatly. Saturday pickups are generally reliable, but Sunday services may be limited depending on your location. Please keep in mind that major holidays typically result in closed operations. To avoid misunderstandings, we recommend confirming your weekend slot by Friday afternoon to ensure a smooth donation process.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatchers coordinate with a network of local tow operators, ensuring a reliable and timely pickup for your vehicle. Expect a call the day prior to your scheduled pickup, during which we’ll confirm your details and any specific instructions for our drivers. This open line of communication helps streamline the logistics on pickup day.
Detroit pickup notes
In Detroit and across Michigan, the density of our tow-operator network allows for efficient pickups in urban, suburban, and rural areas. However, be aware of local constraints such as HOA permits, street-parking regulations, or off-street access requirements, as these can affect the ease of your vehicle's removal. Please inform us of any specific conditions beforehand.
