Question 1

What types of vehicles do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept cars, trucks, and motorhomes with clear titles. And in certain cases, we might consider accepting other types of vehicles. If you have any questions, just give us a call at (925) 326-5868.

Your vehicle doesn't need to be running, but it should be in one piece and towable. It must have an engine and be accessible to a tow truck.

Question 2

What paperwork do I need to donate my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

In order to process your donation, we must have a properly signed, current, and clear title (without any lien). If there's a lienholder listed on the title, the bank must clear or release it. If you don't have the title or are facing difficulties with it, please give us a call. We're accustomed to dealing with these kinds of issues and can assist you through the process.

Question 3

Do you accept vehicles with junk or salvage titles?

Accepted Answer

It's best to give us a call so we can determine if we can accept your salvage title vehicle.

Call us at (925) 326-5868.

Question 4

What if I've lost or misplaced my vehicle's title?

Accepted Answer

It's a common problem, and we're experienced in resolving such issues quickly. Although it may involve some additional paperwork, we can guide you through the process.

Question 5

Can I designate my vehicle donation to a nonprofit not listed on your website?

Accepted Answer

Quite possibly, yes! Please give us a call to discuss. The nonprofit organization can also initiate the process to join our network by visiting our Nonprofits page.

Question 6

Who receives the money from the sale of the vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Half of the net sales proceeds go to the beneficiary organization of your choice.  After accounting for expenses, the other half is distributed equally to the two Rotary clubs that operate Cars 2nd Chance. All beneficiaries are qualified as 501(c)(3) organizations by the IRS. This means you can take advantage of a tax deduction while knowing that almost every penny goes to worthy causes.

Question 7

What will happen to my vehicle once I donate it?

Accepted Answer

We'll evaluate your vehicle to figure out the best way to sell it and maximize its value.

Question 8

Will I have to cover towing or other costs?

Accepted Answer

No, you won't be responsible for any towing or additional costs.

Question 9

How soon will my vehicle be picked up?

Accepted Answer

Once the signed title is received, the towing company will be in touch with you to schedule a pickup.  From the time the towing company is given your contact information, they will reach out to you within 12 to 48 hours.

Question 10

When should I cancel my insurance?

Accepted Answer

Only cancel your vehicle's insurance after we have received the title.
