We understand how frustrating it can be to deal with a post-collision vehicle. With damaged body panels, deployed airbags, and potential frame issues, you may feel overwhelmed.

How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Schedule a Pickup
Contact us to arrange a convenient pickup time. We’ll coordinate with a flatbed towing service that can handle your damaged vehicle safely.
Prepare Your Vehicle
Before the tow truck arrives, please secure any loose parts. If your vehicle is leaking fluids, we will provide a drip tray during the pickup.
Pickup and Paperwork
Our towing team will arrive at the scheduled time, load your vehicle onto the flatbed, and complete necessary paperwork along the way.
Receive Confirmation
Once your vehicle is picked up, you will receive a confirmation email detailing your donation for tax purposes.
Honest value expectations
When it comes to the value of your wrecked vehicle, it’s important to be realistic. Typically, the value ranges from $300 to $1,500, depending on the extent of damage and whether you have a retained-salvage title. For rare makes and models, parts-harvest value may increase this figure. Remember, if your vehicle has cosmetic-only damage, it may be valued closer to a clean-title vehicle. We aim to provide an honest assessment of your donation's value, avoiding unrealistic expectations.
Diagnose or donate?
If your vehicle is damaged and you’re considering spending money on diagnostics, it may be worth contemplating whether it's more beneficial to donate the vehicle as-is. Often, the cost of repairs will exceed the vehicle's value, and donating can provide you with a tax deduction instead. Why not skip the hassle and donate directly to Penn Heritage Rides? We’ll ensure you receive a fair value for your contribution!
Pennsylvania pickup specifics
In Pennsylvania, our team has access to numerous towing services experienced with flatbed pickups. This is crucial for damaged vehicles that cannot be towed on wheels. Additionally, Pennsylvania has specific abandoned-vehicle ordinances, meaning a donation is a responsible way to handle an unroadworthy car. By donating, you contribute to the community while complying with state laws about non-running vehicles.
