Condition & logistics
Running vs Non-Running
We only accept non-running vehicles, but don’t worry—your car doesn't need to start, drive, or even have its parts intact. We’ll gladly take it as-is!
Title Issues
Don’t stress about title issues. Whether it’s salvage or simply lost, we can help navigate the process. Just provide the necessary paperwork, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Parking problems? No need to worry about towing or transporting your non-running car to us. Our team handles all the logistics for a smooth pickup right from your driveway.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating a non-running vehicle in Colorado, it’s important to manage the title transfer correctly. You'll need to complete the Colorado Title Transfer Form and provide it along with your vehicle's current title. Notarization is required if there's a lien, so be sure to check that as well. Make sure your license plates are removed before the vehicle is picked up. We’ll guide you through the process, so don’t hesitate to ask!
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating a non-running car can provide you a tax deduction, typically ranging from $500 to $5,000, depending on the vehicle's condition and what it sells for after donation. You’ll receive a Form 1098-C from us, giving you the details needed for your tax return. Always consult with a tax professional to maximize your benefits.
