When we say, “Every car counts!”, we do mean hailstorm dimpled vehicles, too. If the awesome might of a thunderstorm has become a horrible blight due to hail damage to your car, we can help.
‘Tis the season for lashing rain and pounding hail
As I sit down to put a few words on the page, a bossy storm has just blown through my Alberta town. What began as a gentle rain accompanied by a cooling breeze suddenly turned into a run-for-cover hail extravaganza!
From where I live, we often watch storms build menacingly just to the East of us. Well, they build over us, skirt us, and then move along to really blast the city East of us. From where we sit (by then under blue skies), we see billowing white storm shelfs bottomed with deep grey-blue threat. We can always see, miles and miles from the action, when the city is getting pounded by hail.
In recent years, these storms have resulted in millions of dollars of damage to homes and vehicles. My own family has experienced massive damage to a home and several family vehicles.
Turn storm and hail frustration into cause for celebration!
Happily, hail damage to a vehicle is usually just cosmetic. That is, it’s more of a blow to the pride than it is to the drivability of whatever four-wheeled favourite is getting us from point A to point B. Insurance will likely cover the damage…if you don’t mind waiting in line for a few months to get the dimples banged out.
If you have been considering donating a cosmetically damaged vehicle, but have wondered if it has any value to the charity you love, consider no more! Go ahead and donate!
Canadian charities (all of them!) can receive vehicle donations. Those vehicles? Well, they can be in just about any condition. Wrecked, running, rusted-out, or hail-dimpled.
They cannot be missing parts, but a dead battery is no problem. In some parts of Canada we can even process scooters, electric bikes, and boats!
Your banged up junker (or purrin’ like a cat in catnip) vehicle equals valuable donation dollars for charity!
So simple, and so free!
Hail – scarred or without a blemish, your vehicle can be donated in three simple steps:
To start, fill out an online donation form. This will take less than 10 minutes. Trouble with the form? Call in and talk with a live human (we are not robots!). You can find us Monday – Friday during business hours. 1-877-250-4904.
Once we have your form in hand, just wait for your phone to ring. A transport agent will call you to arrange pick-up timing that suits you well. Oh, and did we mention the tow is always FREE?
Finally, watch you inbox. Your tax receipt will land there at process end.
If early summer storms have you ducking for cover, don’t let that stop you from donating a vehicle today. And while you’re thinking on that, I’m going to go clear the little drifts of hail from the mouths of the eavestroughs!
