SCHEDULE: You will receive an email response within 24 hours with
details; many donors are called by the tow
company within a day to schedule pick up, while
others within 4-5 business days - we will let
you know the schedule. If your donation
cannot be accepted (usually due to cost of tow and value
of the vehicle) then you will be notified within 36 hours.
CLEAR TITLE: Ask the tow company for specific instructions
on signing of the title in your state. Seller
name must be signed exactly as it appears on
front. Any liens need documentation of their
release.
TAX RECEIPT: The tow company will provide you with our Charity
501c3 Car Donation receipt. If any problem
arises, contact us; we can email, fax or snail
mail the receipt to you. The receipt does not
state a value for your donation, the IRS makes the
donor responsible to declare the value according
to the actual condition of the car up to $500
(see links above for guidance) or you will be
notified of the gross sale price of your
vehicle, if over $500.
HOW SKF BENEFITS: Our donations are sold through auctions and
to those who utilize the vehicles for parts. Typically,
we receive 70% of the net.
Higher value
vehicles benefit through direct dealer auction sales, bringing an
increased benefit to us (tow and small fee), and to you for your tax deduction.
