Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
We accept both running and non-running trucks. If your vehicle is still operational, that’s great! If not, we’ll still take it off your hands and ensure it benefits those in need.
Title Issues
Got a title issue? No problem! We handle all the necessary paperwork, even if your title is lost or has a lien. Let us navigate the DMV red tape for you.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Don’t worry about where your truck’s parked. We offer free pickup services across Albany, so whether it’s at home, work, or a storage lot, we’ll come to you!
Title transfer & paperwork
In New York, transferring your truck's title is straightforward. You need to fill out a form (like the MV-82) and get it notarized. Don’t forget to remove your license plates before we take your truck! We guide you through the process, ensuring everything is in order so you won’t face any surprises at the DMV.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your truck, you’re in for a tax deduction, typically ranging from $500 to the vehicle's market value. Following the donation, we’ll provide you with a 1098-C form, detailing the deduction, so you’re ready come tax season. Remember, each truck is unique, and values can vary, but we’ll make sure you’re informed every step of the way!
