Want your car out of the driveway fast? With Twin City Wheels, most Minneapolis and Twin Cities donors go from first contact to an empty parking spot in just 24–48 hours. In many metro neighborhoods – from Uptown, Northeast, and Powderhorn to St. Paul’s Highland Park and Mac-Groveland, plus suburbs like Bloomington, Edina, and Brooklyn Park – same-day or next-business-day pickup is often available. You start with a simple 2‑minute online form or quick phone call, and we take it from there.
Here’s how it works locally: once you submit your form, a Twin City Wheels coordinator reviews your details and contacts you to lock in a pickup window that fits your schedule, Monday through Saturday. Our towing partner comes right to your home, garage, or workplace at no cost – running or not, no inspection or repairs required. You’ll sign over the title at pickup (or mail it shortly after if needed), and your car is on its way to benefit Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) serving people who are blind or visually impaired. Within days of the sale, you’ll receive your written tax acknowledgment. If you’re ready to clear space today, you can start your 2‑minute donation now and often have your driveway clear by tomorrow.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Most cars gone in 24–48 hours
In the Twin Cities metro, donors typically see their car towed away within one to two days of the first call or form submission. Our local dispatch network focuses on quick turnarounds so your driveway or on‑street spot is cleared fast.
2‑minute online start
You can launch your donation from anywhere in Minneapolis or St. Paul in about two minutes. Just enter a few basic details and hit submit. That’s all it takes to trigger scheduling – no photos, ads, or buyer negotiations needed.
Same‑day and next‑day pickup
In many Minneapolis neighborhoods and suburbs, Twin City Wheels can arrange same‑day or next‑business‑day pickup, depending on the time of your request and truck availability. Coordinators prioritize urgent donations when you need that spot cleared quickly.
Monday–Saturday dispatch
Our team coordinates towing Monday through Saturday, giving you more options than a typical weekday-only schedule. Whether you’re free on a Saturday in Nokomis or a weekday evening in St. Louis Park, we work to match your preferred window.
Non‑running cars, no inspection
Your vehicle doesn’t need to run or pass any inspection. Tow trucks can handle dead batteries, flat tires, or cars that haven’t moved all winter. You skip repairs and smog checks – we simply come get it where it sits, at no charge.
