So far, the donation has been very quick and efficient. I received a call back quickly to schedule the tow for the next day. The tow driver was amazing. We couldn't get the back plate off, he took care of that, and managed to get my RAV onto his truck despite the shift cable being broken. I'm so happy with deciding to donate to a good cause and the process has been amazingly simple

The driver (Fabricio) called us with plenty of notice; was actually earlier than expected, which was good; then he was super friendly and super competent.

I was given a window of 6am-3pm. When I called with questions due to it taking more than 48 hours to be contacted with further necessary information, I was told I could choose from several windows of time. I chose 6-10am and everything worked out after that.

We were contacted for a pick up date for our donated vehicle very quickly. Tow truck driver was helpful with the limited paperwork involved. He was capable and efficient in loading our vehicle in spite of a huge rainstorm. Shortly, after donating the car, we were contacted to let us know that we had left something of value in the car. Deeply appreciated that thoughtful outreach. Great organization, Sept. 3, 2026 Carol Crawford

My car was picked up on time. The driver contacted me the night before and when he was a few minutes away. It was a very smooth transaction
