How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Your Pickup
Contact us to schedule a convenient pickup time for your non-running vehicle. Our team will work with you to find the best time that fits your schedule.
Flatbed Tow Arrives
A flatbed tow truck will arrive at your location to safely transport your vehicle. Please ensure there is a clear access path for the 25-foot flatbed.
Vehicle Inspection
The driver will conduct a quick inspection of the vehicle, which may include checking for keys and assessing the overall condition. Don’t worry if you don’t have the keys; we can still pick it up!
Completion of Paperwork
Once your vehicle is loaded, we’ll complete the necessary paperwork. You will receive a receipt for your donation, including critical information for tax purposes.
Honest value expectations
When donating a non-running vehicle, it's essential to have realistic expectations regarding its value. Typically, you can expect a sale price range of $200 to $800 at auction, depending on factors like the vehicle’s make, model, and condition. High-value components, such as a catalytic converter or aluminum parts, can boost the worth. However, if the car is salvage-only, the value may be on the lower end of this spectrum. Remember, your generous donation still provides significant benefits to our organization.
Diagnose or donate?
As you consider your options, think about whether spending money on diagnostics and repairs makes sense. Often, the costs can outweigh any potential increased value. Donating your vehicle as-is not only saves you time and money but also allows you to make a positive impact on those in need through ReviveRides. When vehicles are donated, it supports our charitable missions without the hassle of repairs.
Utah pickup specifics
In Utah, flatbed towing services are readily available, ensuring a smooth pickup process for your non-running vehicle. Additionally, it's important to note that Utah has specific ordinances regarding abandoned vehicles. By donating to ReviveRides, you not only sidestep the legal complications but also contribute to a worthy cause while efficiently clearing a vehicle that may have been taking up space for far too long.
