At Wheels of Change, we understand that many folks in Atlanta have vehicles they no longer use or need, and we're here to help! We accept nearly any kind of vehicle, whether it's drivable or not. Your donation can make a huge difference in the lives of local residents by funding our benefits-research service. From cars and trucks to motorcycles and even boats, your vehicle—running or not—can contribute to positive changes in our community. So, whether you're making space in your driveway or looking to support your neighbors, consider donating today!

Condition guide
When considering donating a vehicle, it's important to understand the various conditions we accept. Running vehicles are ideal, as they can quickly be auctioned off or sold to interested buyers. If your vehicle isn't running, it can still be accepted as long as it has potential value, such as salvageable parts. We can help transport vehicles that aren't operational, ensuring they still contribute to our mission.
Vehicles with salvage titles are accepted on a case-by-case basis due to their condition. While rebuilt or reconstructed vehicles may be eligible, they must comply with state regulations. Vehicles with liens will require added documentation, and missing titles can complicate the donation process. We recommend contacting us directly for specific questions about these situations.
Title status
| Title status | Accepted? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| clean title | yes | Vehicles with a clean title are ideal for donation and will streamline the process. |
| salvage | with restrictions | We evaluate salvage titles on a case-by-case basis, considering their potential value. |
| rebuilt/reconstructed | with restrictions | Rebuilt vehicles are accepted if they meet state requirements and can be sold or recycled. |
| lienholder present | case-by-case | If there's a lien on the vehicle, you'll need to provide documentation before donation. |
| missing title | case-by-case | Missing titles can complicate the donation, and we may require further information. |
Pickup considerations
Wheels of Change makes it easy to donate vehicles, even if they are immobile. For pickups, we coordinate with local towing companies familiar with Atlanta's layout, whether it's a multi-story apartment complex or a rural property. We understand that not all homes have easy access to the street, especially in areas near the Chattahoochee River or our scenic parks. Our team can navigate these specific challenges and ensure a smooth pickup process, so you can contribute to our mission without hassle!
