200,000+

service members transition to civilian life each year — many without help

People Who Made a Difference

The whole process took 5 minutes. They picked up my old truck the next morning. Knowing it helps a veteran who served — that means everything.

My CPA was impressed with the 1098-C. Everything was by-the-book. But honestly, the tax break was secondary — I wanted to help.

Common Questions

Does my car have to be running?

No. We accept vehicles in any condition — running or not, damaged, old, high mileage. Towing is always free.

How much can I deduct on my taxes?

If the vehicle sells for more than $500, you claim the exact sale price via IRS Form 1098-C. Under $500, you can claim fair market value up to $500.

What paperwork do I need?

Just a clear title in your name. Everything else — DMV transfer, liability release — is handled for you.

How fast is pickup?

Most vehicles are picked up within 24-48 hours. In metro areas, same-day pickup is often available.

Is there any cost to me?

Zero. Towing is free. There are no hidden fees or charges of any kind.
