From Route 1 to Riverdale, We’ll Come to You

Whether your vehicle’s parked downtown, in a nearby suburb, or by a neighborhood café, we’ll come right to you. Below are some of the areas where giving back happens every day:

• Arts District – Stretching along Baltimore Avenue, the Arts District is Hyattsville’s creative core, filled with colorful murals, indie cafés, and restored storefronts that reflect the city’s artistic rebirth. Our drivers make regular curbside removals here, collecting everything from compact commuters to family SUVs from residents who love turning their old cars into something meaningful.
• West Hyattsville – Nestled near the Northwest Branch Trail and Metro station, West Hyattsville mixes park-lined neighborhoods with easy urban access.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I still donate my car if it’s not in great shape?

Definitely! We take vehicles in nearly any condition, running or not. That includes cars with dead batteries, missing parts, dents, rust, or even blown engines. As long as you have the title, we’ll gladly accept it.

2. How is my Hyattsville car donation used to help breast cancer patients?

Every donation supports real programs that help breast cancer patients right here in the city. After your vehicle is sold, we forward the proceeds to our trusted IRS-certified 501(c)(3) partners that provide:

• Breast cancer screening and diagnostic programs
• Life-saving treatments and patient transportation assistance
• Emotional counseling and survivor mentorship
• Research aimed at finding more effective cures and prevention methods

3. Do I need to wash or fix my car before donating it?

Not at all! There’s no need to wash, repair, or shine your car before the driver arrives. Just remove your personal belongings and license plates, and leave the rest to us.

4. What steps do I take after my vehicle's picked up?

Return your plates to the MVA to release you from liability, and cancel your insurance to end your registration. That's it!

5. How will my tax deduction amount be calculated?

Your deduction is based on your vehicle’s final selling price. If it sells for over $500, you can claim that full amount; if it sells for less, you can deduct up to $500 or its fair market value. For accurate reporting, use the receipt we send you and check with a tax professional.

6. My title still shows my old apartment. Is that going to be a problem?

Not a big one, but it does need fixing. Our Title Team will guide you through the update, and you can swing by the Hyattsville MVA at 5000 Rhode Island Avenue to get a clean title issued.
