At Rev Up Local, we believe that donating your vehicle should be simple and impactful. Unlike national brands, we focus solely on our St. Louis community. Our streamlined process connects you directly to local benefits programs while also ensuring that the proceeds from your donated car fund the research services that help neighbors access essential resources. Together, we can rev up local support and empower each other in our great city!
The full process
Inquiry and Initial Contact
Start by reaching out to us through our website or phone. We’ll ask you some simple questions about your vehicle and your interest in donating. Our team, made up of fellow St. Louisans, will explain how your donation can directly impact local families in need. Every inquiry brings us closer to helping neighbors access vital benefits.
Vehicle Details Collection
Once you express your intent to donate, we will collect crucial details about your vehicle, including its make, model, and condition. We’re here to help you every step of the way. Whether your car is drivable or not, our local team will assess how it can best be utilized—because it's not just about the vehicle; it's about what it can do for our St. Louis community.
Pickup Scheduling
After gathering vehicle information, we will arrange a convenient pickup time tailored to your schedule. Our local partners will coordinate with you to ensure a smooth process. Whether you’re in the Loop or down by the Arch, our St. Louis team is committed to making this as easy as a stroll in Forest Park!
Pickup Day Arrives
On the designated pickup day, our friendly team will arrive at your location to collect the vehicle. They’ll handle all logistics so you can relax with the knowledge that your donation is making a difference for local families. With every vehicle, we’re not just moving cars; we’re moving St. Louis forward.
Transporting Your Vehicle
Your donated vehicle will be transported to a local facility where it will be evaluated for the best use—whether that's auctioning or recycling. We ensure every part of the process supports St. Louis families, as the funds generated go directly toward our community benefit research services.
Auction or Recycling
Upon arrival, your vehicle will be processed for auction or recycling. Our local partners strive to maximize the value of each donation to ensure more funding for our community services. The money raised from your car contributes directly to helping St. Louis residents access crucial programs like SNAP and MO HealthNet.
Proceeds Directly to Research
Once the vehicle has been sold or recycled, the proceeds will fund our crucial benefits research service. This service helps families across St. Louis navigate important resources they may not even know they qualify for. Your donation goes beyond the vehicle—it creates opportunities for our entire community.
Tax Receipt Issued
After the vehicle is processed, we’ll send you a tax receipt via email, which can be used for your tax deductions. It’s our way of thanking you for supporting local families while also providing you with a benefit. Every little bit helps, and we’re grateful for your generosity towards our St. Louis community.
Ongoing Support and Updates
We won’t just disappear after your donation. You’ll receive updates from us about the impact your contribution is making in St. Louis and how local families are benefiting from the programs funded by your donation. We believe in transparency and community connections!
