The driver who came to collect my BMW motorcycle was by himself. It was a struggle to get the bike up on the vehicle. In future if you are picking up a motorcycle you should have two guys.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We're sorry the motorcycle collection was difficult with only one driver. We will review our procedures to ensure we provide better support for motorcycle pickups in the future. Thanks for your feedback.

Donating me car to BARCS was super easy. Once I completed the donation form, I was given a case number and the name if the company that would be picking up my vehicle. Later that same day I received a call from the tow company to schedule pick up. They were flexible and could accommodate my schedule. I was given a window of pick up and told I would be contacted a couple of hours before the pickup up. I received a call at 11 advising they’d be arriving between 1 and 2pm. Around 1:30 the roll back pulled up in front of the house. The driver was very polite, confirmed my vehicle info on the title and vehicle itself against the info he had, showed me where to sign over the title, gave me the receipt, took the keys, loaded the vehicle on the roll back and that was it! Took less than 15 minutes. The driver even honked when he drove off because he saw me watching:)
