Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
At Revive Auto, we accept motorcycles in any shape. If your bike's engine is purring or if it's just sitting in the garage collecting dust, it can still make a difference. No need to worry about repairs; we handle it all!
Title Issues
For motorcycle donations in Minnesota, ensure the title is signed and includes the odometer reading. If you’ve lost it or have questions, our team can guide you on how to obtain a replacement title.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Don't stress about logistics. We offer free motorcycle pickup services throughout St. Paul, so you won’t have to worry about how to get your bike to us. Just schedule a convenient time, and we’ll handle the rest!
Title transfer & paperwork
In Minnesota, when donating a motorcycle, you need to properly transfer the title to Revive Auto. Make sure the title is signed over to us and includes the odometer reading. If your motorcycle is registered in another state, you’ll need to obtain a Minnesota title first. Don’t forget to return your license plates to the DMV as well. This ensures a smooth transition and protects you from any liability issues down the road.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your motorcycle donation qualifies for a tax deduction, typically ranging from $500 to the sale price if it sells for more. Be sure to keep the IRS Form 1098-C we provide, as it details your contribution and can help you maximize your deductions come tax season. Revive Auto makes it easy to follow through on this process, so you can feel good about your gift while benefiting financially.
Local context — St. Paul
Motorcycles in St. Paul often come from dedicated riders in neighborhoods like Lowertown and Summit Hill, where the culture is as vibrant as the rides themselves. Factors like divorce, downsizing, or a failed inspection can lead to bike donations. Many people cherish their motorcycles but must part with them due to life changes. By donating, you’re not just getting rid of an unused vehicle; you're contributing to a community that appreciates the freedom and adventure motorcycles represent.
