How pickup works
Donating your motorcycle is a hassle-free experience with AutoLift. We arrange for a small flatbed or trailer to pick up your bike from your location. No need to worry about keys; our team will safely load your motorcycle using strap tie-downs at the frame to ensure it’s securely fastened. Once you schedule your pickup, we’ll coordinate with you to make the process as seamless as possible—whether your bike is in a garage, driveway, or storage lot.
What drives donation value
The value of your motorcycle donation is determined by several factors. Vehicle history often takes precedence over mileage, particularly for older cruisers. For popular brands like Harley-Davidson, values tend to hold well, while Japanese cruisers may experience slower devaluation. For sport bikes, the condition is paramount—those that have been well-maintained can command a higher value. Aftermarket parts can also influence the final worth, either enhancing or detracting from the motorcycle's value. If you have a vintage or custom bike, an appraisal may be necessary, especially if it's an Indian Chief or a low-mileage Gold Wing, in order to complete IRS Form 8283, Section B.
Documentation you need
- Title of the motorcycle
- Bill of Sale (if available)

New Mexico specifics
In New Mexico, motorcycles must be titled in the state for donation purposes. Make sure you have the title ready, as it's necessary for processing your donation. If you’ve lost the title, you can request a duplicate from the New Mexico DMV. While a bill of sale isn't mandatory, having one can simplify the donation process. Be sure to check any specific state regulations that may apply to motorcycle donations!
