Tips for Avoiding Car Donation Scams

In a day and age when we are continually warned to beware of donation scams, we want to encourage you to check us out. Feel completely confident in the process before submitting your car, truck, van, SUV, or motorcycle donation.

As members in good standing with the Better Business Bureau, we have been in business since 2005. We are proud to have sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities across Canada.

Donation scams: who should we trust with our car donation?

When you review our respected charity listing, you will see that many of Canada’s national charities place their confidence in us. These folks receive funds from our program on a regular basis.

Part of the reason our program is so successful is that it provides an avenue of giving that may not otherwise be possible for many people – or charities. Donating your car is smart on many fronts. Not only does it generate funds, but it allows for proper disposal or recycling in an environmentally conscious world.

As you will see from our testimonials, charities are happy to participate because operating a car donation program themselves is too daunting. Furthermore, it is time consuming and is not optimizing their mission. We handle all of the details for them! From receiving vehicle information to finding and assigning recycle agents or re-sale agents, we take care of it. Because we facilitate the process from start to finish, it offers a method of fundraising that most charities could not undertake themselves.

Donation scams: is someone lining their own pockets with my donation proceeds?

Typically our aim is for an 80% average to go to our charities. It is important to us that the charities are not charged any fees. Moreover, our own administration costs are kept to a minimum. However, we are also responsible for the tow fees, auction fees, and other incidentals that come with processing vehicles.
