DFM has an easy-to-use program to alleviate all your woes in getting rid of ANY car, truck, RV or boat you have. Our partner, Vehicles for Charity, can take it off your hands and CAP will reward you with a tax benefit for the selling price of your donated vehicle! 

It is fast, free and friendly and much better than a low trade-in or high repairs. If you are thinking of selling or trading in that old car, why not donate it instead? You can donate any vehicle from anywhere at anytime. You will be free from ALL the paperwork from beginning to end. It is simple. All you need to do is complete our online donation form by clicking the button below or call Vehicles for Charity at 1-866-628-2277 and every detail will be handled for you.  

Please note that some restrictions may apply. Best of all, your donation makes a difference and will go a long way in helping the homeless animals at CAP have a second chance to find loving homes.
