Honest expectations
While we strive for same-day service, it may not always be possible, especially in rural areas or due to scheduling constraints. Weekend and after-hours pickups can also vary based on availability and local towing laws. Generally, expect pickups to be scheduled within a few days, unless you're in a high-density urban area where we can schedule more quickly. However, we do our best to accommodate your timing needs.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatchers work closely with a network of local tow operators throughout New Mexico to ensure efficient pickups. Once you submit your donation form, we assign a local operator who will reach out to coordinate the details. This ensures that you're always informed about when to expect the tow truck, and you can reach out to our dispatch team if you have any questions or need to reschedule.
New Mexico pickup notes
In New Mexico, our coverage spans urban, suburban, and some rural areas. While most vehicles can be picked up without issues, extreme rural or impounded vehicles may face challenges. Urban areas with denser tow-operator networks can expect smoother scheduling, while rural locations may require additional coordination. Additionally, be aware of any HOA permits or street-parking regulations that may affect access for our tow trucks.
