We accept cars, trucks, and vans in any condition. Your donation will help local residents access vital benefits programs in New Mexico.
What happens to my vehicle after I donate it?
After you donate your vehicle, it is either repaired and sold, or sold as-is at auction. Proceeds from the sale directly fund our free benefits-research service, which connects Albuquerque residents with essential programs like SNAP, Centennial Care, and TANF. Your contribution helps improve lives in our community.
How will my donation affect my taxes?
Your vehicle donation may qualify for a tax deduction. If the vehicle sells for over $500, you can deduct the sale price from your taxes. We provide a tax receipt detailing the amount for your records. Always consult with a tax professional to understand how this deduction applies to your personal tax situation.
What should I do with my vehicle title before donating?
Before donating, remove your personal belongings and ensure the title is signed over to Valor Wheels. If you need assistance with the title transfer, our team can guide you through the process. In New Mexico, it's essential to complete the title transfer to avoid future liability for the vehicle.

Can I donate my vehicle if it still has a loan on it?
Yes, although the loan must be paid off before you can donate. Contact your lender to discuss your options. Once the loan is settled, you can proceed with the donation, knowing that your contribution will benefit Albuquerque families needing assistance with programs like TANF and SNAP.
Is there a limit on the number of vehicles I can donate?
