Pickup & delivery
Local considerations for Yonkers.
Street access
A full-size carrier often can't fit on residential streets in denser parts of Yonkers. Expect to meet at a nearby wide street or a large parking lot. We'll confirm the spot before pickup day.
Winter prep
Winter storms can delay pickups. Rinse off road salt before the inspection so the condition report is accurate, and make sure the battery is strong.
Highway handoff
If your street is hard to reach, a large lot near I-87 is often the quickest handoff point in Yonkers.
