Car Donation FAQs
1. I have a 2000 Olds that is not working, what can you do for me?
A lot. Sometimes a non-running car has more value to the donor in the recycling program than as a donation. The choice is always yours. First we'll tow your Olds away, free of charge, handle the transfer of ownership (with receipt of your signed-off title), and then send you on a wonderful vacation. Find the difference between the car donation program and the recycling program.
2. One question? I'm kinda attached to my old Betsy. What will happen to my car after you receive it? Will it be destroyed? Will it be resold? Will it go to parts? I am sentimental and would like to see it go to parts or resale rather than the crusher?
Your old vehicle will not be crushed.
Your vehicle will be picked up free of charge and towed to auction for resale .In this way the vehicle is not "junked".
Some very old non-running vehicles are sold for parts. We have also expanded our ability to pick up very old non-running vehicles. Thus our country's resources are not wasted. The vehicle is recycled which helps everyone and improves the environment.
Donate any vehicle to charity.

3. Do I have to pay any towing charges, or anything at all? I'm not interested if I have to pay anything.
No. You pay nothing; we do all the paying.
We pay for the towing of your vehicle ($125 - $150.00) plus storage and paperwork transfers. If you use the recycling program we send you hundreds (or thousands) of dollars in grocery, film, airline coupons, plus vacation and cruise offers for certain types of vehicles. (see Vacation/Cruises)
4. My '99 Mitsubishi Mirage does not run. It needs a new engine and has some other problems (sun roof leaks water, sagging roof fabric, no A/C, etc.). Would you be interested in picking it up?
Yes, even though there is very little market for non-running vehicles.
Dealers and individual buyers, alike, are afraid of non-running cars, because it is usually difficult to determine how much money it will take to make such vehicles mechanically sound. Frequently the towing charges for non-running vehicles will surpass their selling prices. We still, however, take chances on some non-runners by evaluating the information provided by the donor on the donation form. That is why it is always good to include all of the information.
5. I have a Toyota Tercel that is not running and has been impounded. Do I have to pay the impound fees myself, before you'll tow it away?
Yes. We do not pay impound fees. We recommend that you get your fees paid fast and the pickup scheduled to minimze fees and future problems.
6. I have a 1999 Chrysler LeBaron that I want to get rid of. It runs but not well and it didn't pass the emissions test. Will you take it?
Yes. We'll pick up your car, even though such vehicles do not sell for much, as they commonly need extensive work to bring them up to governmental standards. Typically, the cost for such work will exceed what buyers will consider to be the vehicle's fair market value, even when such vehicles are brought to perfect running order. Again we evaluate each vehicle individually based on the information provided on the donation form.
7. Roughly, what is your turnaround time from the point of me submitting the Vehicle Disposal Form to the point at which someone picks up my truck?
1-2 days is our norm. However in California it is often the same day. Vehicles that are more distant from metro areas can take longer. We shoot for one to two days and we are proud to say that is customary for us. Of the vehicle disposal services on the net, we can safely boast, "we are the fastest."
8. Would you be interested in a 92 Plymouth Voyager Van? It still runs, but its registration has expired.
Yes. Expired registrations cause additional paper work expenses, but that will not be of concern to you, as we make re-registrations and all paperwork transfers cost and hassle free for you.
9. What if we don't have the title on a car? Our car was sold to us by the family who owned it in New York for $1.00, but we have lost all its paper records.
In most cases the title has to be available. The title must be free of liens. Only a few states do not require titles. Most states, however, offer a fast way to get a duplicate title. Sometimes there is a small fee required. In many states you can get a duplicate title within hours or a few days. Please fill out and submit to us our Vehicle Donation Form. That completed form will help us to determine if and how best we may serve you.
10. I will be out of town when I need my car picked up. I figure I'll leave the signed-off title and keys with my neighbor - Jimmy - or can I just leave everything in the glove box?
In most cases, owners do not have to be present with their vehicles when those vehicles are picked up.
Your signed off title and keys, however, do have to be present or sent to the towing/auction company prior to pickup.
You can work this out with the towing company when you make contact.
11. I was reluctant to send you the Vehicle Disposal Form, so I'm emailing you to get some questions answered.
You may always email us with any questions you may have.
But remember, completing and sending to us the Vehicle Disposal Form does not obligate you in anyway, yet we need that completed form to more accurately answer your questions.
So, please, fill out our Car Donation Form, as best you can, then pose the questions you have, on the form itself. Then hit your submit button.
Then you'll receive a prompt and informed reply to all your questions from our E-mail Consultant. Our E-mail Consutltant knows all.
