I contacted a charity organization regarding my car donation and Capital Auto Auction picked up my car the following day. I was kept informed of an expected pickup time and the driver arrived as promised.

The people I talked to all did what they said they would do. The driver who picked up the car was quick and efficient. He helped me fill out the back of the Title and I made a copy for my records. I first talked to Chantel (excuse me for guessing at spelling). She was cheerful and guided me through the process.

The tow truck driver was friendly and professional. He had the car moved and ready to tow in no time. I would definitely recommend this company.
