Vehicles accepted from Cleveland donors

Condition is rarely the deciding factor. Vehicles from Cleveland arrive running, barely running and not running at all, and all three are useful.

A failed inspection, body damage, a dead battery or years parked in the same spot will not disqualify a donation. If you are unsure, note it on the form and a coordinator will confirm before pickup.

Nothing about the Cleveland process is complicated, and nothing costs you money.

Tell us about the vehicle — the short form takes about 60 seconds, or call (855) 681-1155 and a coordinator will take the details by phone.
Schedule free pickup — a coordinator calls to arrange towing at a time that suits you, wherever the vehicle sits in Cleveland.
