Condition guide
When considering a vehicle donation, it's essential to know that both running and non-running vehicles are accepted. Running vehicles are often sold or auctioned based on their value, while non-running ones can still be valuable for parts or recycling. Tulsa Auto Bridge believes that every vehicle has the potential to help, regardless of its current state.
However, vehicles with salvage titles or those that have been heavily damaged may require closer scrutiny. If your vehicle has been declared a total loss but still has usable parts, it may still qualify for donation. On the other hand, vehicles with lienholders or missing titles may have additional restrictions, so it’s best to contact us to determine eligibility.
Title status
| Title status | Accepted? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| clean title | yes | A clean title is ideal for donation, ensuring a smooth transfer process without complications. |
| salvage | with restrictions | A salvage title can qualify, but we'll need to assess the vehicle's condition and potential value. |
| rebuilt/reconstructed | case-by-case | Rebuilt vehicles need a thorough review to determine if they meet our donation criteria. |
| lienholder present | with restrictions | Vehicles with a lien must have the lienholder's approval for donation before proceeding. |
| missing title | case-by-case | If your vehicle is missing a title, we can explore options on how to proceed with the donation process. |

We'll coordinate with you to ensure a hassle-free experience, because every donation counts towards making a difference for our fellow Tulsans.
