Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
We accept both running and non-running totaled vehicles. If your car still has life left, great! If not, we can help you dispose of it responsibly.

Got a salvage or rebuilt title? No problem! We accept vehicles with various title statuses, making the donation process smooth and easy.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Don't worry about where to store your vehicle. We’ll coordinate pickup at a time that works for you, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Oklahoma, transferring the title for a totaled or salvage-title vehicle is straightforward. You will need to complete Form 701-6 for a title transfer and provide a bill of sale if applicable. Make sure to sign the title over to us, and if you're unable to sign in person, notarization may be required. Don't forget to return your license plates to the DMV—they need to know you’ve parted ways with the vehicle!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your totaled or salvage-title car, you may qualify for a tax deduction based on its fair market value. Typically, you can expect this to range from $500 to the vehicle's true worth at the time of donation. Look for Form 1098-C to document your donation and ensure you’re set for tax season!

With the Oklahoma wind whipping through towns like Norman and Stillwater, many find themselves with cars that just can’t keep up with life’s unpredictable turns.
