We accept vehicles on a case-by-case basis, regardless of make, model, or type, and we also offer free pickup all over the Rio Grande Valley.

The Tax Benefits of Your McAllen Car Donation
You may qualify for a great tax benefit when you donate your vehicle, and you can claim your deduction only if you itemize deductions. We can't give tax advice, so talk to your own tax advisor or a tax professional about your specific situation.
You never need an appraisal to donate. We send your tax receipt within 30 days of your vehicle selling, giving you proof of your donation and everything you need for tax purposes well ahead of tax season.
Your deduction counts for the year you donate, even if your vehicle sells the following year. Regardless of your vehicle's market value going in, the sale amount is what shows up on your tax deductible receipt.
Title Transfer and Paperwork
Our donor support team can help with the title transfer and any paperwork tied to your donation. Bring your title and remove your license plates before pickup, and let us know if you run into any issues with your documentation or records.
