Do Good, Feel Good – And Save on Taxes with Your Auto Gift

Centreville is where history meets hustle – from Civil War trails to the buzz of Route 28. But in areas like Sully Station or near Braddock Road, some neighbors face barriers to employment due to justice-system involvement, disabilities, or limited education.

Your old car can help elevate their future. Donating it to Goodwill Car Donations powers local programs that offer job training, career support, and placement services – helping people move forward with confidence.

You’ll feel good – and get something good, too. You’ll get a significant tax deduction, free towing, and a stress-free way to part with a vehicle you no longer need. In Centreville, generosity drives opportunity.

We coordinate free towing across the community, so giving is easy, fast, and impactful:

We make quick work of tight parking and carport pickups, collecting everything from compact commuters to first cars that have seen their last run.

1. How does pickup work in Centreville?

Once you schedule your vehicle donation, we’ll:

  • Arrange free towing in 24–48 hours (same‑day may be possible depending on partner availability).
  • Meet you wherever the vehicle sits – your driveway off New Braddock Road, a garage near Centreville Regional Library, your office by Centreville Town Center, or the lot by the Cinemark on Multiplex Drive.

2. How long does the donation take from start to finish?

We process most Centreville car donations within one to six weeks, concluding the sale and final paperwork a few weeks after pickup. We’ll keep you updated throughout – local teams who know Route 29, Route 28, and I‑66 will handle the heavy lifting quickly and professionally.

3. What vehicles can I donate, and do they need to run?

We accept a wide range of vehicles common in Fairfax County:

  • Cars, trucks, SUVs
  • Motorcycles and ATVs
  • RVs, campers, and trailers

Your vehicle doesn’t have to run. If you have the title, we can typically accept it – even if it’s been parked for months.

  • If it sells for more than $500, you can deduct the vehicle’s gross sale price.
