Who runs the Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program?
This program is a legacy of the public radio show Car Talk. For more than three decades, Tom and Ray Magliozzi (aka Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers) answered listeners' questions about cars, and provided laughs, comfort, and trustworthy advice to millions. While Tom passed away in 2014, Ray and the rest of the staff decided to continue this program as a way to give back to the stations that were our friends and partners for decades–and whose programs we listen to every day.
Along with our car donation partners at Advanced Remarketing Services, we're proud to work with WABE and help you turn your car into more of the programs you love. And we thank you for the help you are providing to our hard-working stations!
What types of vehicles does WABE accept?
We accept almost all car donations. We also accept trucks, motorcycles, snowmobiles, trailers and RVs. Boats and planes are accepted on a case-by-case basis. Regardless of the condition of your vehicle, we're here to help and can make sure your car has a new life. You can donate your car online or by calling us at 1-877-215-0227.
How much of the money is returned to WABE?
Our partners at Advanced Remarketing Services return 70-80% of the gross selling price for car donations back to WABE, to support the public radio programs you love.
