Honest expectations
While we strive to accommodate all requests, same-day pickups may not always be feasible, especially in high-demand areas. Weekend and after-hours scheduling can also vary based on our dispatch availability and tow operator schedules. For non-running or partially functional vehicles, we can still tow for free, but please note that this may affect the final proceeds from the auction. Your vehicle’s condition plays a crucial role in determining the net benefit to charities.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatcher coordinates with a reliable network of tow operators throughout Philadelphia to ensure a smooth pickup process. Once you submit your form, our team communicates with you to finalize the details and ensure the right tow truck is dispatched. We keep you informed at every step, from scheduling to pickup, making sure there’s no confusion along the way.
Philadelphia pickup notes
In Philadelphia, our network of tow operators ensures timely service across urban, suburban, and even some rural areas. However, be mindful of potential local constraints such as HOA permits, parking restrictions, or limited access in certain neighborhoods. If your vehicle is located in a particularly rural area or has been impounded, please let us know so we can address any unique challenges that may arise.
