LightSpeedBid only works with licensed, insured, and verified towing companies, and every tow partner is screened before being allowed to pick up vehicles. Sellers often search for how do I know the tow truck is real, is my tow company legitimate, or junk car pickup verification, and LightSpeedBid provides multiple layers of security to ensure the driver arriving at your location is authentic and authorized.
Here is how you can confirm legitimacy:
- You receive the tow company’s name and information before pickup
When your pickup is scheduled, LightSpeedBid sends you:
- The towing company’s name
- The driver’s name (in many cases)
- The scheduled time
- A customer service contact
- Instructions for communication
This means the tow operator is not a stranger arriving unannounced.
- The driver will contact you before arriving
The tow partner typically calls or texts to confirm:
- Their identity
- Estimated arrival time
- Access instructions
- Vehicle details
This verification ensures you know exactly who is coming.
- Drivers are required to verify details on arrival
When the tow truck arrives, the driver will:
- Verify your vehicle’s year, make, model, and VIN
- Confirm your name
- Confirm the pickup appointment
- Match their paperwork to your offer
These steps guarantee the driver is the correct professional dispatched by LightSpeedBid.
