What is the Donate a Car Program?

Our Donate a Car program is a simple and effective way for individuals to give back to the community.

We understand that donating a car may feel like a complex process, but we’ve made it as easy as possible. Whether your car is in great condition or in need of repair, we are happy to accept it, and we’ll make sure your donation is used responsibly. In addition to making a difference in your community, you may also be eligible for tax benefits, which makes donating your car even more rewarding.

Bring Us Your Vehicle

If your vehicle is drivable, we encourage you to bring it directly to our location. This allows you to be a part of the process and ensures that your car is in good hands. When you arrive at Good News Auto, our friendly team will greet you and assist you with all aspects of the donation. We’ll walk you through the paperwork, ensuring that everything is completed properly and efficiently.

When you bring your vehicle in, you can rest assured that it will be treated with the respect it deserves. We’ll inspect your vehicle to determine its condition and find the best way to make use of it. Whether we repair and sell it or repurpose it for parts, we ensure that your donation goes a long way in supporting our cause.

If you have any questions or need additional information before bringing your car to us, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are happy to explain the process further and ensure that you feel confident about your donation.

Use a Tow Truck

If your vehicle is not drivable, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. We can arrange for a tow truck to transport the car to our facility. Simply contact us to coordinate the details, and we’ll guide you through the process. Our team will work with you to find the best way to get the car to us, ensuring that it’s a hassle-free experience.

We understand that sometimes vehicles break down or become too costly to repair. In these cases, donating the car is an excellent way to ensure it’s put to good use, even if it’s no longer running. We’ll work with local tow truck services to ensure that your vehicle is picked up at a time that’s convenient for you. We handle all the logistics, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Once the vehicle arrives at Good News Auto, we’ll take over from there. We’ll handle the inspection, paperwork, and any necessary repairs to ensure that your donation benefits the community.

The Benefits of Donating Your Vehicle

When you donate a car to Good News Auto, you’re doing much more than simply getting rid of an old vehicle. There are several key benefits to this charitable act, both for you and for the community.

Supporting the Community

By donating your vehicle, you are directly contributing to the well-being of your local community. At Good News Auto, we use the proceeds from vehicle donations to support various community initiatives, such as offering free or discounted services to those in need. Your car could help us fund programs that improve the lives of local families, provide assistance to individuals with limited resources, or support local organizations that make a difference.

When you donate to Good News Auto, you can take comfort in knowing that your contribution will have a lasting impact on the community. We pride ourselves on being involved in initiatives that support people and help strengthen the area around us.

Potential Tax Deductions

In many cases, donating your vehicle to a charitable organization can qualify you for a tax deduction. When you donate a car to Good News Auto, we will provide you with a donation receipt, which you can use when filing your taxes. Depending on the value of the car and the tax laws in your area, you may be eligible for significant deductions. Be sure to consult a tax professional for more information on how your donation can benefit you financially.

Helping the Environment

When you donate your vehicle, you’re also helping the environment. Instead of allowing your car to sit unused and potentially become an environmental hazard, you are giving it new life through recycling, repair, or resale. We ensure that all vehicles are disposed of responsibly, following proper environmental guidelines. By donating, you are contributing to a more sustainable future.

Easing the Burden

Sometimes, cars break down or become too costly to repair. If you’re facing this situation, donating your vehicle can ease the burden of dealing with an old car that you can’t use. It’s also a great way to free up space on your property or parking lot. If you’ve been holding onto a car for sentimental reasons or because you didn’t know what to do with it, donating it to Good News Auto can be a win-win situation.
