How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule Pickup
Contact us to schedule a convenient pickup time. We'll arrange for a flatbed tow to accommodate your wrecked vehicle.
Prepare for Tow
Before the tow truck arrives, please secure any loose parts and take photos of your vehicle from all angles to assist with valuation.
Flatbed Transport
Our towing service will arrive with a flatbed truck to safely transport your wrecked car. If needed, they'll use a drip tray for fluids during transit.
Receive Documentation
Once your vehicle is loaded, you'll receive a donation receipt, which can be used for tax purposes.
Honest value expectations
When you donate a wrecked vehicle to ReviveRides, it’s important to set realistic expectations regarding its value. The typical range for a totaled car with a retained-salvage title is between $300 and $1,500, depending on the severity of the damage and the vehicle's make and model. Rare vehicles may have a higher parts-harvest value, while those with cosmetic-only damage might fetch closer to their clean-title value. Remember, your car’s value is driven more by its salvage potential than repair feasibility.
Diagnose or donate?
If your wrecked car is still in decent shape but has a few issues, you might wonder whether it’s worth spending money on diagnostics or repairs. Generally, if the repair costs are high and your insurance has already compensated you with the actual cash value (ACV), donating the car as-is can be a better option. This way, you avoid additional expenses and can still benefit from a potential tax deduction.
Utah pickup specifics
In Utah, flatbed towing services for damaged vehicles are readily available, given the density of tow operators specializing in such pickups. Additionally, it's worth noting that the state has specific abandoned vehicle ordinances, which can impact your options if your car is no longer operational. Donating your vehicle as soon as possible can prevent any complications related to these ordinances.
