Honest expectations
While we aim to accommodate same-day and evening pickups, please understand that not every request can be fulfilled immediately due to logistics and scheduling constraints. Evening pickups primarily occur between 4 PM and 7 PM, and if requests come in late or the schedule is full, the pickup may need to be rescheduled for another evening. It's best to plan ahead to ensure your vehicle donation goes smoothly.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatcher plays a critical role in coordinating your evening pickup. After your request is received, they’ll connect with you to finalize details and communicate directly with our tow operators. Once your vehicle is scheduled for pickup, our network ensures timely and safe retrieval while keeping you updated throughout the process.
New Mexico pickup notes
In New Mexico, the density of our tow-operator network varies across urban, suburban, and rural areas, impacting pickup availability. While urban locations generally have more flexibility, rural settings may require additional planning. Be aware of local HOA permits, street-parking rules, and off-street access considerations that may affect your evening pickup.
