The difference in price between what you sell it to us for and what we are able to sell it for is your donation amount. If you are interested in a bargain sale, please email us at [email protected]

Does donating a vehicle cost me anything?
Nope, we cover all of the expenses including title transfer, towing, and any repairs needed.
What if I don’t have a title? What if my title is salvaged?
We are only able to take motors vehicles with a legal title in the donating party’s name. In some cases, we can take off road vehicles, trailers, and boats without a title. Please contact us for additional information. We do not take salvage titles.
What if my title is from out of state?
As long as the title is in the donating party’s legal name, we are able to take out of state titles.
What do you do with my donation?
In most cases, your vehicle will be prepared for sale at auction so that the proceeds are available to provide scholarships and support services to families and youth in need. In some cases if a vehicle can be made available to a family in need or go to a supporting organization to further their work with families and youth, we will put it to that use. All of the support services we provide stay in the state of Colorado and more often than not, remain in La Plata, Montezuma, and Archuleta Counties. For a list of organizations we support, please contact us.
Does my donation support political. lobbyists, or legislative work?
No. We support individuals, families, and other local charitable agencies directly through financial sponsorships and vehicle donations.
How is my donation’s value determined?
The valuation is based on the actual sales price. This amount will be provided to you within 30 days of your donation. In some cases, if your donation needs considerable repair work to prepare it for sale, we will not be able to provide the valuation until it’s sale. Additionally, if we provide your vehicle to a person in need or donate it to a supporting agency, we will provide a fair market value of your donation.
