Watershed care and a tech company?

When My Tech Guys (an Alpha company) needed to make a fleet adjustment they knew they wanted to do something extraordinary with their unique cars.

They had three S-Cargo units and one Alto to work with (I mean…how fabulous are those cars?). The company wished to extend the legacy of zip and pizzazz that their “fleet of oddball vehicles packed to the brim with tech tools” had provided their crews.

They matched a little curiosity with some creative giving vibes. Our Donate a Car Canada online form popped into view, and here we are! They went right ahead and donated all four cars! The business is thousands of dollars in for the charity they care about.

My Tech Guys – the best geeks on the job

Talking with Jordan (MTG’s resident “Hobbit Geek”) was a delight. This is a company that takes service, sales, efficiency, and skill seriously. Everything else? Well, mischief is afoot! Give them a Google to see what their team is all about:

“My Tech Guys Inc. prides itself on having excellent technicians and administrative staff that are not only good at getting the job done, but are passionate and give the customer a positive experience.”

Looking for the services they provide? Find them on Facebook or Instagram! They have the computer products you need. And service? They will get it done for you — at home, at the office, or on-site at the store. As the company adapts to a new merge they are excited to grow together as a team, and with their customer base, in the coming year.

Comox Valley Watershed Project Society

Your car, truck, van, SUV, or motorcycle donation goes to any Canadian charity you wish. We will name a few of our receiving charities in just a minute (you may be surprised by how many charities focus on Canadian watershed concerns). My Tech Guys selected the Comox Valley Watershed Project Society as their charity of choice:

The CVWPS mission is to “unpave paradise.” They wish “to promote community stewardship of Comox Valley Watersheds through education, information and action.”

While the output of Project Watershed’s work will be the protection and restoration of local watersheds and associated sensitive habitats, the “process” by which they carry out their objective is of prime importance. Through involving fellow citizens in useful work, they hope to foster an enduring relationship between citizens and their watersheds.

As for My Tech Guys and their robust generosity toward Project Watershed? Well, thanks to them, the charity has close to $4,000.00 to put toward earth care. Our contact at MTG notes, “This was a very smooth and easy process! The online form was simple — especially for someone with little vehicle experience. I knew that I was dealing with professionals who would handle the vehicles well.”

World Wildlife Fund | A unique gift

J.L. came to us with a special concern. Preparing to make an out-of-country move, he knew he wanted to donate his Toyota Prius for the World Wildlife Fund. The car had high mileage, but was in running condition.

“The car runs fine but it’s an American car and therefor I cannot donate it to anything but recycling.”

Our donor was right: when donating a car in Canada, it must have been last registered in Canada. No Canadian registration? Recycle only. This didn’t pose a problem at all! The agents that serve charities through our program want to maximize every donation. The Alberta agent that managed J.L.’s gift worked hard to find the best way to get the highest return.

Rather than just paying out a scrap-rate for the Prius, our agent took time to piece it out. This isn’t always a viable option. Our agents process donated vehicles whatever means results in the largest dollar outcome for the charity while also covering their own costs. In this case, they took a hit to their own pocket so that the WWF could benefit with just a few dollars more!

Will my donated vehicle be parted-out?

We serve many wildlife-focused charities. In fact, if you have a Canadian wildlife charity that you care about, they probably have a vehicle donation program! We serve these organizations in several ways:

1. We recycle or re-sell donated vehicles. Visit our FAQ page for the nitty-gritty on how we determine what to do on a car-by-car basis. Your car, truck, SUV, van, or motorcycle is assessed on its own merits. We won’t overlook any detail! Some vehicles are scrapped; many are sold as-is to the highest bidder. This can result in a donation of thousands of dollars for the cause you love.
2. Our agents align with the mission of many of our environmental and conservation charities: removing unused/unwanted vehicles from the roads is good Earth Care practice.
3. We take care of every aspect of the donation process so that the charity doesn’t have to. These works are often operated by volunteers. Their volunteers are in it because they care for the planet and for critters. By taking care of the administrative bits and bobs, we free the charity up to do their heart work.

My charity isn’t on your list

If you don’t see the cause you wish to support on our list, no problem! We are at-the-ready to serve any Canadian charity. It’s possible that if you visit your charity they already have us linked somewhere on their website. If you can’t find the link, let us know…or reach out to your charity to let them know of your hope to donate your vehicle.

Once we’re connected with them we can get the work done to set them up with their own vehicle donation program. No cost to them. No cost to you. Big benefits to your, your charity, and our Canadian wildlife!
