No. There is no towing fee for non-running cars, and LightSpeedBid will never charge for recovering a vehicle that does not start, does not move, or does not roll. This is one of the biggest reasons sellers choose LightSpeedBid over local junkyards, scrap yards, or private buyers.
Non-running vehicles include:
- Cars with blown engines
- Cars with transmission failure
- Cars with dead batteries
- Cars sitting for years
- Flood or fire damaged vehicles
- Cars missing wheels
- Cars with seized brakes
- Cars that cannot shift out of park
- Vehicles stuck in mud or snow
LightSpeedBid covers the full cost of towing for all of these situations. The offer you receive already includes the towing cost baked into competitive bidding between buyers.
Tow operators use professional equipment to load non-running cars safely. This may include:
- Flatbeds
- Heavy-duty winches
- Car skates
- Wheel dollies
- Long-line recovery gear
Sellers do not need to:
- Jump start the car
- Tow it themselves
- Buy gas or a battery
- Push or move the vehicle
- Try to make it run
Non-running vehicles are the majority of LightSpeedBid transactions. Towing is always free and included with every offer.
