Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
Whether your truck purrs like a kitten or sputters like an old engine, we accept it all. Don't worry about repairs; we’ll handle the towing!

If your truck has title problems, don’t sweat it. Our team is experienced in navigating Florida's title laws, making the process stress-free for you.

Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring a truck title in Florida is straightforward. You'll need to complete the Florida DMV Form HSMV 82040 and ensure it's notarized. When you donate your truck to Sunshine Shift, we guide you through this process, so you won’t miss any vital steps. Remember to remove your license plates as they must be returned to the DMV, ensuring you meet all legal requirements without hassle.
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your truck can lead to a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the actual sale price if sold by us. We’ll provide you with Form 1098-C for your tax records. Keep in mind that the actual deduction amount may vary, based on the vehicle condition and final sale price, so consult with your tax advisor for specifics.
