Donating a car

Car Donation Any Condition

An old car in rough condition, still eligible for donation

People often apologize for the shape their car is in before they finish describing it. There is no need. We accept vehicles in any condition — running or not.

What we accept

Cars, trucks, boats, RVs and motorcycles are all welcome. Flat tires, dead batteries, body damage, a decade in the same spot behind the house — none of it disqualifies a vehicle. If it has a title and four corners, it is worth a phone call.

What we handle

We take care of the paperwork and arrange the tow, so you are not chasing forms or hauling anything anywhere. Once the vehicle is sold, we send you the documentation you need for a tax write-off and pass the proceeds to the nonprofit you chose.

If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, ask. Start the donation form or call us at (925) 326-5868 and we will tell you straight away.
