Donate a Car 2 Charity: Salinas

Blown Engine? Dead Transmission? 

We can usually pick up a car in any condition. Just give us a call and we'll set up your donation in our system and assign a towing agency to contact you to arrange the free pick up of your vehicle. 

I Can't Find The Title, Can You Still Pick Up My Car? 

For the most part we can pick up a car without a title as long as you are the registered owner of the car and can sign some paperwork. If you'd like to get a replacement title before pickup, this can often expedite the process. For information on how to go about this, please check in at one of the California Motor Vehicle Department Offices.
