Condition guide
When it comes to vehicle condition, we accept a wide range of situations. Running vehicles are generally straightforward; they can be sold outright or refurbished for community use. Non-running vehicles are also accepted—these may be sold for parts or recycled responsibly, ensuring that even a car that no longer drives can still support the community.
However, a few exceptions apply. Vehicles with salvage titles or significant damage require a case-by-case review. We want to ensure that your donation can be effectively utilized, so if you’re unsure, we recommend reaching out to discuss your specific vehicle's condition with our friendly team. Together, we can determine the best path forward!
