Donation process was very quick and easy

Donation process was very easy. Detailed instructions given every step of the way, to transfer title and return license plate.
Notified me before the car was picked up.
The driver was very polite and quickly got the vehicle onto the flatbed.
Took less than an hour and he was on his way.

It wasn't easy, but we did it!

This was a tough one due to title issues, and lien situation but Kars4Kids worked really well with me to get this done. I was worried they would have to bring this totaled car back to me that was in my driveway for a little over a year before I found out about K4Ks. Thanks so much and I am glad that you were able to get a decent amount for it.
