We understand that managing a vehicle sale can be particularly challenging for individuals facing physical disabilities or chronic illnesses. The traditional route of selling your car often requires hosting strangers, negotiating prices, and dealing with extensive paperwork — all of which can be exhausting and stressful. If you find yourself in this situation, we want you to know that you're not alone.
At Bluegrass Wheels, we provide a hassle-free donation process tailored specifically for those with mobility impairments. Donating your vehicle not only simplifies your life but also allows you to contribute to a worthy cause. This page outlines how our service works, detailing the steps you can take to donate your car while minimizing the effort required on your part.

Adapted workflow
Fill Out the Online Form
Start the donation process by completing a simple online form where you provide details about your vehicle. You can do this at your own pace, from the comfort of your home.
Schedule Pickup
Once you submit the form, we’ll contact you to arrange a convenient time for our team to pick up your vehicle. We can come to your home or another location that works for you.
Paperwork Handling
Our pickup specialist will either assist you with the necessary paperwork on-site or arrange to send it digitally. We accommodate electronic signatures and family member involvement as needed.
Vehicle Pickup
Our friendly team will handle the vehicle pickup, ensuring a smooth and respectful experience. You won't need to move from your location unless you want to.
Receive Tax Receipt
After the vehicle is sold, you will receive a tax receipt in the mail, which can be used for your tax deduction (as applicable). We ensure you have all necessary documentation.
Paperwork accommodations
Power of Attorney (POA)
If you're unable to complete the paperwork yourself, a family member or caregiver can act as your Power of Attorney to handle the donation process.
Electronic Signatures
We can accommodate electronic signatures, allowing you to complete the required paperwork without needing to meet in person.
Family Member Involvement
Family members or caregivers can assist in the entire donation process, providing support and ensuring everything is handled smoothly.
Remote Coordination
We facilitate remote coordination for all steps, ensuring you are informed and involved as much as you want to be during the donation process.
Honest about limitations
While donating your vehicle can be a convenient option, it’s important to understand that it may not provide the financial benefits of a private sale, especially for individuals with no tax liability. If you're unemployed and cannot itemize deductions, you may not benefit from the tax receipt. Additionally, some vehicles might not qualify for full value deductions if sold below $500. Be sure to consider your financial situation when making this decision.
Lexington specifics
In Lexington, Kentucky, vehicle donation procedures align with local laws, including state-specific Power of Attorney regulations. If you're a veteran, you may have additional protections under the SCRA that can ease your donation process. We are familiar with the local landscape and can assist in connecting you with disability services. We also accommodate pickups in hospital areas and communities surrounding Fort Knox, ensuring convenience for all donors.
