I had 17 years of enjoyment of my car and I wanted it to have a second life to help or service someone else. Cars of Hope made it easy, they did the pickup, and quick. They also let me designate the charity I specially wanted to help, Mutual Ground, a women's shelter. Thank you!

Cars of Hope was a very positive experience. There is a detailed application process to ensure the recipient needs a vehicle and can afford the vehicle moving forward. They made every effort to ensure that the vehicle would run well and that the recipient knew how to best care for the vehicle. They showed care and support of the recipient throughout the whole process.

When I was looking a local 501c3 charity to donate my car, I came across Cars Of Hope. I wanted to be able donate in a way that could directly impact someone in my community. Their staff was very helpful in the process of working through the paperwork as well as getting my not-running car towed off to be assessed.

Later on, they let me know that they were able to get my donated car running and ready for someone who needed it and assured me that they ensure that the cars they provide will last people at least a couple years.

Cars of Hope is a genuine charitable 501 C(3) organization that works under the umbrella of Community Christian Church. Cars of Hope works diligently to find donated cars to either sell to raise funds to repair more suitable cars for their clients. Donated cars are repaired by reputable technicians before they are released to clients.

Cars of Hope does a fantastic job in providing individuals with reliable transportation, who would otherwise find it difficult to afford the initial investment. I was involved in one such recipient, who was able to find a more suitable, better paying job as a result. He now had the ability to travel to work in his own vehicle, and not rely only on public transportation, which limited his employment opportunities. Individuals who donate their used vehicles to Cars of Hope are making a significant investment in people’s lives!

For the months I was able to serve with Cars of Hope I was impressed with their handling of both monetary donations and their handling of donated vehicles. Vehicles with a good serviceable life are thoroughly inspected, repaired, and detailed. Cars that had no real service life were disposed of properly and for a cash value that was recycled into money destined for repairs.
The cars were gifted by the volunteer staff of Cars of Hope to people in dire need of transportation. If I'm ever in position to donate a vehicle, I will not hesitate to donate it to them.

Cars of Hope fills a huge need in the community—it’s so difficult to live and work in the suburbs without a vehicle, and I’m not aware of any other programs that provide cars to clients from community organizations like ours. Cars of Hope is a pleasure to work with, very reliable, and has the client’s best interest at heart.

I am on a benevolence team at a local church and Cars of Hope worked with our client to get a car for her and her special needs child. COH was very professional and went the extra mile to get a car that fits this clients' needs. They are a wonderful charitable organization and made what could have been a complicated situation very streamline. COH candidates are carefully vetted and done with the utmost sensitivity.
