ARS (Car Donation Wizard)
Advanced Remarketing Services (ARS) is a social enterprise that runs car donation programs for nationally respected charity brands. We've partnered with them to help RepairPal Certified Shops streamline the way they manage end-of-life vehicles, as well as make an impact in their community.
How it Works:
When your customers decide it’s time to retire their vehicle, whether it's no longer running or not worth the repair costs, they can easily donate it to charity right from their smartphone. This initiative offers a dual benefit: a hassle-free solution for the customer and a chance for your shop to support reputable charities.
To Donate, Have Them:
- Visit our Force for Good page: https://repairpal.com/force-for-good
- Select a charity: Choose from nationally recognized charities like, Special Olympics, CARE, American Cancer Society, UNICEF USA, and Habitat for Humanity.
- Fill out the form: Start by clicking the "Donate your Car" button under your chosen charity and answer a few questions.
- Schedule vehicle pick up: Sign over the title of the car, and ARS will work with you to schedule a pick up date, sell the vehicle and transfer funds to the charity of your choice.
- Receive tax deduction: In general, donors who itemize their taxes may deduct the fair market value of any donated car, up to $499. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, you may deduct the full selling price.
We've also created this flyer as an option for you to display at your shop. Feel free to download and print!
ARS’s digital fundraising tool, Car Donation Wizard, returns the highest percentage of the gross dollar back to charities and works hard to get the best price for your donated vehicle. To learn more about the Car Donation Wizard and find answers to common questions, please visit their FAQ Page.
