We had a small problem with pick up. I didn't realize they were taking my car to DC. But they showed up in two days and the worker was very efficient and friendly. When I called customer service the woman I spoke to was courteous and informative. The experience was fine. I would do it again. My car was sold for $5300. I'm happy knowing this will help someone.

Instructions via email and phone from the receiving organization spelled out exactly what to do. Coordinating the pickup was simple. The driver gave plenty of advance notice when he was on the way. The pickup itself was simple: key and title filled out as instructed. No questions or problems. Totally straightforward.

The same day I got in touch with the ASPCA the Capitol Auction got in touch with me to set up a pick up day and time. The Tow company called over an hour in advance on the scheduled day. He was super professional and friendly.
