Honest expectations
While we strive to offer convenient evening pickup options, please understand that same-day requests may not always be feasible, especially during peak times. Our service is focused on delivering a reliable and safe experience, which may sometimes require scheduling flexibility. Be aware that documentation for IRS tax purposes (Form 1098-C) is mailed after the sale of your vehicle, not at the time of pickup.

When you schedule a pickup, our dispatcher will provide you with a direct point of contact, so you know exactly who to reach out to if any changes arise.
