Honest expectations
While we strive for same-day pickups whenever possible, delays may occur, especially in busy urban areas or during peak times. For free towing, it’s essential that all vehicle details are accurate. Remember, the towing is covered by proceeds from the auction, and this may take some time to process. If your car is non-running, the net proceeds could be lower, but we can still handle the pickup. Weekend or after-hours pickups might also be limited based on availability.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatch team works closely with a network of experienced tow operators to ensure your vehicle is picked up efficiently. Once you schedule your pickup, we coordinate with the tow operator to establish a smooth communication line. Expect a follow-up call or message confirming the exact time when the tow truck will arrive, ensuring you stay informed throughout the process.
Boston pickup notes
In Boston and the surrounding Massachusetts areas, our towing services are generally effective due to a high concentration of tow operators. However, for rural locations, wait times may vary, and accessibility can be a factor. Be aware of local parking regulations and HOA permits that might affect the pickup, especially in urban settings where off-street parking is necessary for the tow truck to access your vehicle.
