Research Resources: Verify for yourself how Auto Tech Car Donation is fooling donors.

The images below vividly depict Prince Singh’s deceptive use of Auto Technical, Inc.’s logo and name, giving the impression that he is affiliated with Auto Technical, Inc.

As you examine these images, it becomes clear how he skillfully masquerades as Auto Technical, Inc.

Feel free to verify this information independently:

  1. Minnesota Attorney General Charity Search: Conduct a search for “Auto Tech Car Donations” on the Minnesota Attorney General’s website, and you’ll find that this organization has never registered as a recognized charity instead he plagiarized the legitimate charities to fool the public.
  2. IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search: You can verify their status on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search. Change the “Search By” box from EIN to Organization Name. Under the “Search Term” type in “Auto Tech Car Donations” without quotes.
  3. GuideStar and Charity Navigator: Notably, Auto Tech Car Donations are not listed on respected charity databases like GuideStar and Charity Navigator.

The evidence speaks for itself, highlighting the deceptive practices of Auto Tech Car Donations.

The bill of sale (Exhibit marked 3 1 above) shows the donation value is $1,000.00 dollars. Note the VIN on the form. The Manheim form (Exhibit marked 3 3 below) shows a sale of 1700 dollars. Note the same VIN.

Did the donor of the vehicle get his rightful tax credit amount?

Prince Singh has taken one of Auto Technical, Inc. donation receipts dated June 20, 2020 (Exhibit marked 4A) Notice the title (Exhibit 4B) shows the new owner as Auto Tech Car Sales and Leasing LLC. Notice the additional deception (Exhibit 4C) where the car sold for 1000 dollars, on exhibit 4A the document shows he gives the donor 500 dollars for his donation. That way he is not required to fill out a 1098-C (Exhibit 34 shows an example of a 1098-C)
