Do you need a pickup with a tow package? Or is the Mazda too small for the kids, the dog, the soccer buddies and the fishing gear? Maybe you’ve driven that Honda into the ground, but one way or another, you just have to replace your car sometimes.
If you have vehicles on your property you really don’t need, there’s a great opportunity here. You can benefit your favorite cause – literally put money in their pocket – with a car donation in Chico through Riteway Charity Services.
Like we said, if you have a charity you care about – any 501(c)(3) – you don’t even have to pull out your checkbook to energize them with some cash. When you donate a car to charity in Chico, it gives them a boost, while you benefit your bottom line!
Have you spent a lot of the last year in a rental after dropping yours off at Chico Car Care? You’re probably tired of that!

Sometimes it’s actually a benefit to your bank account to shop for another car. The site Edmonds.com has an article about knowing when it’s a good financial move to get rid of your car and buy something newer. Basically, it’s when your repairs are costing as much as a car payment!
What isn’t a good fiscal move, however, is a dealer trade-in or CarMax. You only get 30-40% of the value of your car that way. But a car charity donation in Chico through Riteway Charity Services enables you to write off 100% of your vehicle’s value.
So, if it’s the perfect time for car shopping, it’s also a perfect time for benefiting a cause you care about.
