Confirmation Call
Our dispatcher will contact you to finalize details, confirm title and key locations, and discuss any special requirements specific to your neighborhood.
Review Release of Liability
You’ll need to sign our release of liability form in advance, ensuring a smooth transfer of ownership. This protects both you and Desert Wheels during the pickup.
Evening Pickup Coordination
On the day of the pickup, our tow operator will arrive at your designated time. They will securely collect the keys and title, ensuring everything is in order.
Receive Tax Receipt
Once your vehicle is sold, we’ll send you an IRS 1098-C receipt by mail. This will help you claim your tax deduction for your generous contribution.

Honest expectations
While we strive to accommodate evening pickups, same-day retrieval might not always be feasible due to scheduling and dispatch constraints. If you need a late pickup, please coordinate with us in advance to ensure we can meet your request. Weekend and holiday availability can vary as well, so planning ahead will yield the best results. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility in this process.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatch team works closely with a network of local tow operators to ensure timely pickups. After you submit your form, our dispatcher will communicate directly with you. You’ll receive updates about the tow operator’s ETA as we approach your scheduled pickup time, making sure you feel informed every step of the way.
Arizona pickup notes
In Arizona, our vast network of tow operators allows us to serve urban, suburban, and rural areas effectively. However, consider local regulations such as HOA permits or street-parking rules—these can impact accessibility. We aim for a seamless process, but we recommend confirming local conditions to ensure a smooth pickup experience.
