Pickup

A local towing company will contact you within a few business hours of your initial call to us. Pickup is usually scheduled for 24 – 48 hours later.

If you need your boat picked up sooner than that, we will try to accommodate you as best we can (most often, we can!). Call us at 833-772-2632

No! Just clean the boat of any personal belongings and leave the keys and title in the glove box.

Pets A Lot and LA Pets Alive has a network of resellers who work hard to get you the most value for your boat. You will be contacted by a reseller to arrange a time of pickup that is convenient for you, free of charge.

Tax Deduction

We may be able to assist you in replacing it.

When signing your title, please make certain that you print and sign your name as the “Seller” in EXACTLY the way it appears on the face of the title.
