General Vehicle Donation Questions

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.

Can you explain the process of donating a vehicle?
Sure. The vehicle donation process is super quick and simple. First, you get in contact with us and we ask you a couple questions – either by filling out or online form or by calling us at 323-800-1211. These questions include information like your contact information, the make and model of the vehicle to be donated, and where the car is located.
Then, we do all the rest – from arranging a towing company to pick up our car to delivering you the paperwork used for tax benefit purposes.
