Vehicle Details Review
Our team will review the information you provided about your vehicle. We’ll assess its condition and determine how it can contribute to our mission. This step is crucial as it helps us to maximize the value of each donation, ensuring that the proceeds directly support Albany's community benefit programs.

Transport to Processing
After pickup, your vehicle will be transported to our processing center. Here, it will either be prepared for auction or recycled, depending on its condition. We aim to ensure that as much value as possible is generated from your donation, which directly supports local research efforts on benefits in Albany.
