Are you ready to part with an old vehicle but worried about the towing fees? With Bluegrass Wheels in Lexington, Kentucky, you can donate your car without any financial burden. Our free towing service is designed to simplify the donation process. Whether your vehicle is running, partially functional, or even totaled, your donation can make a significant impact. The proceeds from the auction of your vehicle cover the towing cost, allowing every dollar to support our charitable mission.
To get started, we recommend having your vehicle title and any keys available during the donation process. We aim to schedule pickups as conveniently as possible, but note that successful scheduling often depends on the vehicle's location and condition. Whether you donate on a weekday or weekend, we strive to make the process smooth and efficient for you.
Step-by-step timeline
Submit the Donation Form
Fill out our easy online form with your vehicle details and preferred pickup times. Expect a confirmation from our team within a few hours to finalize your donation.
Schedule the Tow
Once your donation is confirmed, a dispatcher will reach out to arrange a pickup time. We can often accommodate same-day pickups, but this may vary based on your location and our schedule.
Prepare Your Vehicle
Have your vehicle title and keys ready. If you don’t have the title, we’ll guide you through state-specific options that could allow the donation to proceed.
Pickup Day
On the scheduled day, our professional tow operator will arrive at your location. They will assist with loading the vehicle and collecting required paperwork, such as the signed title transfer.
Receive Confirmation
After your vehicle is towed, you will receive confirmation of the pickup. An IRS 1098-C form will be mailed to you after the vehicle's auction, detailing your tax deduction.
What you need ready
- Vehicle title (signed at pickup if available)
- Keys for the vehicle
- Signed release form, if applicable
- Confirmation of your address for towing
- Clear access path for the tow truck
Honest expectations
While we strive for same-day pickups, it may not always be possible, especially in rural areas or during peak times. Pickup requests received after hours or on weekends will be scheduled for the next available time slot. We encourage donors to prepare for potential delays in service, particularly if we need to secure access permits for certain locations.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatchers coordinate closely with a network of local tow operators who are familiar with the Lexington area. Once your pickup is scheduled, we communicate your needs to the driver to ensure a seamless experience. You’ll receive clear communication about when to expect the tow truck and any additional instructions needed for the pickup process.
