What if the car is not running?
• Goodwill accepts all vehicles with a proper (clear) title, running or not. The vehicle must have two inflated tires and be accessible to the tow truck.
How long will it take to have my car picked up?
• You will be contacted by a towing company within a few business days after the title and paperwork are received and processed. Please note that towing may take a little longer during our busy season(s), primarily the months of December and January. Priority towing may be available for vehicles at repair shops, tow yards or cars that are in city violation. Remember, all towing is FREE!
