Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
Whether your classic car is running beautifully or needs a little TLC, we accept vehicles in all conditions. If it needs repairs, highlight what’s required, and we’ll guide you through the next steps.
Title Issues
Having a clear title is crucial for donation. If there are any title issues—like liens or lost titles—our team can assist you in resolving them before you move forward with the donation.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
We offer free towing services to ensure your classic vehicle is picked up seamlessly, whether it’s parked in your garage or tucked away in a storage unit. Just let us know!
Title transfer & paperwork
When you donate your classic or collector car in Utah, you'll need to ensure the title transfer is handled properly. This typically involves filling out the DMV Form TC-656, and in some cases, a notarization may be required. If you still have the plates, don't forget to return those to the DMV as well. Our team will guide you through this process to ensure everything is executed flawlessly.
Tax deduction for this donation
The tax deduction for your classic or collector car can vary widely, often falling between $500 to fair market value, depending on its condition and sale outcome. Be sure to keep documentation of this process, including the IRS Form 1098-C, which we provide to help streamline your tax filing.
