Before the tow truck arrives, LightSpeedBid recommends removing all personal items, documents, and any belongings you wish to keep. Sellers frequently search for what to remove before junking car, clean car before towing, or items to keep before scrapping vehicle, and LightSpeedBid provides clear guidelines to protect your property.
Items you should always remove include:
- Wallets, IDs, bank cards
- House keys or additional car keys
- Insurance cards and registration documents
- Garage door openers
- Sunglasses, chargers, cables
- Prescription medication bottles
- Personal paperwork or mail
- Children’s items or baby seats
- Tools, accessories, or valuables
- Toll transponders
- Work equipment
- Electronics or aftermarket stereos you want to keep
Check the following areas:
- Glove compartment
- Center console
- Trunk
- Under seats
- Side pockets
- Steering column
- Visor compartments
If the vehicle has been sitting for years, you may find forgotten items that you did not realize were there. Tow drivers do not assume responsibility for personal belongings left in the vehicle after it is removed.
You do not need to vacuum the car or clean it extensively, but removing your personal items ensures you do not lose anything important.
LightSpeedBid’s priority is protecting your property and ensuring a smooth sale. Removing your belongings beforehand guarantees that the transaction is clean, efficient, and stress-free.
