Condition guide
When it comes to donating your vehicle, Cleveland Car Connect welcomes both running and non-running vehicles. A vehicle is considered running if it starts and can be driven without significant mechanical issues. A non-running vehicle may require repairs but can still be donated, as we can often salvage parts or recycle the vehicle for funding purposes. Even if your car has seen better days, it can still make a positive impact!
However, there are a few exceptions. Vehicles with salvage titles may be accepted, but they are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We cannot accept vehicles that are badly damaged, fully dismantled, or have been declared a total loss by insurance companies. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, please reach out to us!
