Condition guide
When it comes to vehicle donations, understanding the condition of your car is essential. Running vehicles are always the best option, as they can be sold at auction or directly to buyers. Non-running vehicles are also accepted and can be stripped for parts or recycled, ensuring they contribute positively to our community's needs. Just because your car has seen better days doesn’t mean it can't be utilized effectively!
Now, if you have a salvage title, don’t worry! Many vehicles with salvage titles can still be donated, but we evaluate them case-by-case. If your vehicle has a rebuilt or reconstructed title, it may also be accepted, depending on the specifics. Vehicles with a lienholder present or missing titles require a more careful review, so it's best to contact us directly to see how we can help.

| salvage | with restrictions | Salvage titles are accepted but are evaluated individually based on the vehicle's condition. |
| rebuilt/reconstructed | case-by-case | These titles are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the vehicle's history. |
| lienholder present | case-by-case | If there's a lien on the vehicle, we need to verify the conditions before accepting it. |
