At Wheels for Good, we believe every truck has a story worth telling. Whether it’s a well-loved pickup from the Westside or a rugged commercial truck from your days working in the Crossroads, donating it can make a significant impact in our community. Kansas City is rich in spirit and generosity; your truck can help support local charities doing vital work throughout the region.
Donating your truck with us is simple and hassle-free. We handle everything from towing to title transfers—there’s no need for you to stress about those pesky DMV forms.

Condition & logistics
Running vs. Non-Running Trucks
Whether your truck is still rolling or has been parked for a while, we accept vehicles in both categories. Running trucks are a plus, but don’t worry—we can pick up non-running ones too!
Title Issues
If your truck has title issues, don’t fret! We can guide you through resolving those hiccups and ensure a smooth donation process.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Got a truck taking up space in your driveway or storage? We make pickup easy and convenient—our team will come to you, anywhere in the Kansas City area.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating your truck in Missouri, you’ll need to handle the title transfer at your local DMV. Missouri requires specific forms like the Application for Title and License (Form 108) to be completed. Depending on your truck's condition, you may also need a notarized signature. Don't forget to return the license plates to avoid any ongoing fees!
Tax deduction for this donation
By donating your truck, you might be eligible for a tax deduction typically ranging from $500 to the full selling price if sold for more. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which outlines the fair market value of your vehicle. Always check with your tax advisor for specifics on how this applies to your situation.
Local context — Kansas City
Kansas City boasts a dynamic automotive culture, where trucks are a staple on the roads, from the bustling streets of Downtown to the scenic routes around the Country Club Plaza. Many truck owners donate their vehicles due to life changes—maybe it’s a divorce, a downsizing move, or relocation for work and family. Others might be facing costly repairs after a recent inspection. Whatever the reason, your truck can help support local nonprofits that keep our community thriving.
