Condition guide
When considering donating your vehicle, understanding its condition is important. Running vehicles can be sold at auction or resold directly. Non-running vehicles, while they may not start, can still be accepted and recycled for parts or materials, helping fund community programs. Salvage titles are acceptable, as they often have potential for parts or scrapping, contributing to the overall mission.
On the other hand, vehicles with serious issues, such as those that have been completely stripped or are deemed junk, might not qualify. Our team assesses each donation individually to ensure it aligns with our mission of supporting Stockton residents. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions about your specific vehicle!

| clean title | yes | A clean title means your vehicle is ready to go, making it an easy donation for all involved. |
| salvage | with restrictions | Salvage title vehicles can be accepted, but be prepared for an assessment regarding their potential for parts or recycling. |
| rebuilt/reconstructed | case-by-case | Rebuilt vehicles may be considered depending on their condition. We evaluate each on its own merits. |
| lienholder present | with restrictions | If a lien is on the title, we'll need to work with the lienholder to ensure a smooth donation process. |
| missing title | case-by-case | Vehicles without a title can still be considered, but you will need to provide proof of ownership for acceptance. |
