General Vehicle Donation Questions

That’s great! To get started donating your vehicle, you can either fill out our simple and secure online vehicle donation form or call us at 323-800-1121. It’s that easy!

What happens to my vehicle after I donate it?

When your vehicle is picked up, it is taken to an auction to be sold. After your donated vehicle has been sold, we will mail you your sold receipt for tax purposes.
If your vehicle sells for less than $500, this letter will notify you that you are eligible to take a deduction of the fair market value of the vehicle up to $500 without further documentation. If your vehicle was sold for more than $500, this letter will notify you of the final selling price.
