Towing a car or truck with a Chain

Sometimes you need to move the old junk car around your property or around the corner. How can you tow a car with just a chain? First before you head out on the road towing a car with a chain check the Maryland regulations for towing a vehicle. When towing a car with a chain first make sure that the brakes on both the tow vehicle and the junk car are in good condition. There is nothing worse than having the brakes fail on the car being towed and ending up with two junk cars instead of one. Be sure there is a driver in both vehicles. One driver will need to steer the junk car and apply the brakes. Only use chains that are rated to tow vehicles do not use ropes or weak straps. All your movements with both vehicles should be very gradual. Start the tow vehicle very slowly and apply brakes slowly. Likewise, the driver in the vehicle being towed should apply brakes evenly but firmly enough to keep moderate tension on the chain. It is best to practice a bit in an open area without traffic before you head out for a longer trip.

How to repalce your vehicle title in Baltimore, Maryland.

Your junk car is worth substantially more if you have a clean title in hand. But we all loose track of car titles especially if we have owned the car for a long time.

Maryland makes it pretty easy to replace a missing tile. Junk go online to https://www.mva.maryland.gov/ and order your replacement online. There will be a fee for the state to process the new title. You can request that the title be mailed to an address different from the one on the original title. You can also request a new title from a self help Kiosk at any full service or express MVA office. Check our list of MVA officers near your on the side of this page.

You can also request a replacement title on behalf of another person. However, you will need to produce one of the following in addition to your state issued ID.

Letters of Administration: These allow a representative of a deceased owner to act on their behalf.

Death Certificate: If you are a co-owner and the other owner is deceased, a death certificate will allow you to apply for a new license on your own.

Trustee appointment order: This is issues by the court and allows you to request a duplicate title on someone else's behalf.

Power of attorney: This is a legal document that needs to be signed by the owner allowing you to apply for a title on their behalf. Although the new title will be mailed to the original owner.

Replacing a lost title can be a hassle but is usually worth the effort in the increased value of your junk car.

Does Rusty's Auto Salvage Accept Car Donations?

While we have relationships with car donation services and if you really want to donate your car to one of those services we can accommodate you, our preference is to put the most money possible into your hand and let you decide how much and which charity you want to donate to. You may want to donate to your local school, or disaster relief or maybe just help out a friend in need. In any case we think the best person to control your donation funds is you.

Can I really deduct a junk car donation from my taxes?

The best answer is "maybe" and "talk to your tax preparer." If you are your own tax preparer then you better be prepared to do some research. Donating a car is an "in-kind" contribution and has special requirements from the IRS. If you do not itemize your taxes, you may not be able to take a deduction at all. Also do not forget that if you donate your car to one of those car donation services, they money goes where they want it to go and you never really know how much of your car's value ends up with the charity. You may want to consider just selling your junk car then taking the cash and donating to a charity that you trust. The tax deduction rules for cash donations are much more simple than in-kind junk car donations.
