Great Benefits When You Donate Your Car!

Owning a vehicle in the Hudson Valley is great, but it also comes with two main issues: long commutes and traffic. If you work in the city, getting there by car from the Hudson Valley takes a while, and once youโ€™re there, traffic and parking is a nightmare.

The distance between places in Hudson Valley, if you donโ€™t work in the city, can cause a dent in your wallet if you arenโ€™t driving a fuel-efficient vehicle. If you are on the fence about keeping your vehicle, Wheels For Wishes can give you the incentive you need to either upgrade or take alternative transportation.

  • Storing an unwanted vehicle takes up so much space on your property. Whether it is a boat or Jet Ski and trailer you donโ€™t use very often, a car waiting for repair or sale, or a motorcycle with too short of a useful season, clearing up space is worth your while.
  • Wheels For Wishes will come all the way to you anywhere in the Hudson Valley and tow away your vehicle for free, thus clearing up space!
  • Plus, for tax season, you get a maximum tax-deductible receipt to use on your 1098-c form.
  • On top of all that, you get to benefit Maria Fareri Children's Hospital!

After your vehicle sells at auction, we mail your tax receipt reflecting the sale price. If the selling price is less than $500, you can claim the fair market value up to $500. If the sales price is above $500, you can claim the full amount.

Please speak with a tax advisor for a closer estimate on your specific situation.
