 KEYS TO CHANGE  :  DONATE YOUR CAR TODAY

At CarFest SA, hosted by the Community of Automotive Professionals (C.A.P.),

your unused car can make a world of difference.

 

Imagine a vehicle that’s no longer serving you bringing freedom, hope, and stability to families, students, and our community. By donating, you’re not just clearing out your garage—you’re driving positive change across San Antonio.

WHY YOUR DONATION MATTERS

Where 
 
Will my car go?

WAYS YOUR VEHICLE CAN MAKE AN IMPACT

Repaired and Given to Someone in Need:

When a car can be restored, it’s gifted to a deserving family, bringing independence and opportunity.

Sold to fund our mission

If repair isn’t possible, your vehicle will be sold, with proceeds supporting CarFest SA’s charitable programs.

Recycled to Support Our Impact

Even beyond repair, your car contributes through recycling, with funds directly fueling our initiatives.

Your Benefits
as a Donor

  Tax Deduction  

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your car donation is tax-deductible, making it both a generous gift and a financial benefit.

  Convenient, Hassle-Free Donation  

Let us handle the logistics! If you have a car that’s no longer running or taking up space, we’ll arrange for its free pickup and ensure it’s put to good use.
