Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
We accept both running and non-running vehicles; however, running vehicles are preferred to maximize their value. If you have a vehicle that no longer operates but can be repaired, don't hesitate to contact us!
Title Issues
A clear title is vital for fleet vehicles. We handle the necessary title transfer and paperwork, but be aware that any existing title issues may slow down the process. Let's tackle this together!
Storage/Pickup Logistics
We understand that commercial vehicles can take up valuable space. Our team will coordinate a convenient pickup at your business location, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Ohio, transferring a title for a commercial vehicle involves specific steps. The necessary forms include the Ohio Title Application (form BMV 5772) and obtaining any required notarization. You’ll also need to return the license plates to the local BMV. Don’t worry—Revive Wheels will guide you through this process to ensure a smooth transition. We work directly with you to gather the necessary documentation, making the title transfer hassle-free.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate a commercial or fleet vehicle, you can typically claim a tax deduction based on its fair market value. This generally ranges from $500 to $5,000 depending on the condition and type of vehicle. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which outlines the details of your donation, so you can include it on your tax return. Every little bit helps, right?
Local context — Cincinnati
Cincinnati is home to a variety of commercial enterprises, from small contractors to larger fleet operations. Many of our donations stem from businesses downsizing, relocating, or even going through divorce. The vibrant local economy is a breeding ground for service vehicles that have served their purpose but can still be put to amazing use elsewhere. Whether it's a fleet car parked near the Great American Ball Park or utility vans dotting the neighborhoods of Mount Adams, your unwanted vehicle could be the key to helping another local business get back on its feet.
