Let's Pass Your Keys to a Neighbor in Need!
A Unique Car-Donation Program Since 1996
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit car donation organization that has been repairing and awarding donated cars to our New England neighbors in need since 1996. These vehicles enable recipients to move forward in their lives, achieving greater wellbeing for themselves, their families and our communities.
To date, we have awarded nearly 6,000 life-changing donated cars!
Largest Tax Deduction Possible!
Most car donation programs sell every donated car. We make your generous vehicle donation go further by awarding it to a neighbor in need whenever possible. This qualifies donors for a fair-market value tax deduction; this could be hundreds or thousands of dollars more than other donation programs can offer.
If we cannot award your vehicle, it will be sold at an auction to generate funds for car repairs. Either way, you qualify for a generous tax deduction and make a big difference!
We accept almost all vehicles, regardless of age or condition. And, we’ll pick it up for free!

Frequently Asked Questions
What you need to know about donating your car in Massachusetts
What do I need to donate my vehicle to Good News Garage in Massachusetts?
All you need is the car’s certificate of title and the keys!
What will happen to my vehicle after I donate it?
We inspect every donated car to see if it can be repaired and awarded to a neighbor in need. Donated vehicles that require excessive repairs or would be too expensive to maintain are sold at an auction. The sale of cars at auction provides critical funds to help pay for repairs on vehicles that are more appropriate for a client. No matter what, your donated vehicle helps your neighbors in need!
Did you know that most car donation charities sell 100% of the donated cars they receive? Our goal is always to repair and award donated cards back to people in our community working to move forward in their lives.
Will Good News Garage pick up my car in Massachusetts?
Yes! Good News Garage will tow away or pick up your vehicle free-of-charge from anywhere in Massachusetts or nearby states. We will work with you to schedule a time for pick-up that’s convenient for you.
Is my car donation tax deductible?
Yes! Good News Garage is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and is one of the few car donation charities in the country that can offer a fair market value tax deduction if your donated car is awarded to a family in need.

You can find more information about vehicles as charitable donations in the IRS publication 4303 “A Donor’s Guide to Vehicle Donation.”
