At Badger Auto Aid, we believe in making a difference for our Wisconsin neighbors, which is why we accept nearly any vehicle donation, drivable or not. Whether it's a reliable sedan still capable of taking you to the local supper club, or an old pickup truck that's seen better days, your contribution helps fund vital benefits-research services for residents across the state. Our goal is simple: to connect those in need with essential assistance programs that can improve their quality of life. So, if you’re ready to donate that vehicle taking up space in your garage, we’re here to help!
Categories we accept
Cars and sedans are often donated and resold at auction, providing funding for local initiatives. If they’re not in drivable condition, they can be sold for parts or recycled, making them a valuable asset for the community.
In Wisconsin, sedans are popular for commuting to work, school, and local events. Your donation supports families needing reliable transportation to access job opportunities and essential services.

SUVs and crossovers can be resold to families or auctioned off. When they aren't running, they can be recycled or dismantled, contributing valuable parts back to the community.

Condition guide
At Badger Auto Aid, we accept vehicles in various conditions. If your vehicle is running, we can easily arrange for its donation, and it may be resold to help fund local initiatives. Non-running vehicles are just as valuable; we often salvage parts or recycle them, contributing to the overall funding of services that help Wisconsin residents.
For vehicles with a salvage title, we assess their condition case-by-case. Be assured that even if your vehicle isn’t in perfect shape, it may still qualify for donation. However, vehicles with extensive damage or those with severe structural issues may not be accepted, as they don't provide sufficient value for funding purposes.
Title status
| Title status | Accepted? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| clean title | yes | Clean titles are straightforward for donation and processing, ensuring a smooth experience for you and funding for our community. |
| salvage | with restrictions | Salvage vehicles can be accepted, but we evaluate them individually to determine viability for auction or parts. |
| rebuilt/reconstructed | case-by-case | Rebuilt or reconstructed titles will be examined carefully, as their structural integrity may affect acceptance. |
| lienholder present | case-by-case | If there's a lien on your vehicle, we’ll need to work with the lienholder to establish donation eligibility. |
| missing title | case-by-case | Vehicles without a title need additional documentation for donation, but we can guide you through the process. |
Pickup considerations
Badger Auto Aid makes the pickup process simple, even for vehicles that aren't running. We coordinate with local towing services to ensure that vehicles are picked up from various locations, including apartments, rural properties, and marinas. Just let us know where your vehicle is located, and we'll work to arrange a convenient time for pickup that fits within your schedule. Our goal is to make donating your vehicle as hassle-free as possible.
