What happens if you delay
⚠ Mounting Fines
Every day your vehicle remains parked can lead to additional parking tickets. Ignoring the situation can accumulate fines quickly, costing you hundreds of dollars.
⚠ Impound Fees
If your vehicle is towed to an impound lot, daily storage fees can range from $40-$100. These costs add up rapidly and can exceed the value of your vehicle.
⚠ Difficult Donation Process
Once your vehicle is in impound, the donation process becomes much harder. You'll face municipal auction processes and extra legal hurdles that complicate your donation.
⚠ Abandonment Fines
In some cities, neglecting your vehicle can lead to an abandonment fine exceeding $1,000. Taking immediate action helps avoid these unforeseen costs.
