If you’re ready to donate your car today in Wisconsin, Badger Auto Aid can get you scheduled in just a few minutes. Start our simple 2‑minute online form or call now, and a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator (a 501(c)(3), EIN 58‑2164446) will confirm your vehicle details and set your pickup time. In most Wisconsin metro areas—like Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine, Appleton, Oshkosh, and the Fox Valley—weekday calls before noon can be picked up the same day. Otherwise, we’ll arrange the next business day or within 24–48 hours whenever possible.
The process is straightforward and local-friendly. On your call, we confirm your car’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in Wauwatosa, Brookfield, Sun Prairie, Fitchburg, Eau Claire, La Crosse, or a nearby community. Your car does not need to run; we send free flatbed towing for non‑running or damaged vehicles. There’s no inspection or repairs required. The driver arrives, helps with basic title paperwork, and your driveway is clear in minutes. After your vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt—typically within 30 days—that meets IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for donations valued over $500. You can truly start and complete your car donation today.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in most Wisconsin metros
Call before noon on a weekday from areas like Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, or Racine, and in most cases we can arrange same‑day pickup. Otherwise, your car is typically towed the next business day.
2-minute start from anywhere in Wisconsin
Whether you’re in Wauwatosa, Sun Prairie, Oshkosh, or La Crosse, you can launch your donation in about two minutes online or by phone. That’s usually all it takes to move from “thinking about it” to a confirmed pickup time.
Monday–Saturday live dispatch
A real coordinator is available Monday through Saturday to confirm details and schedule towing. You’re not waiting days for an email—most Wisconsin donors get their exact pickup window on the very first call or form follow‑up.
Non-running and damaged cars are welcome
Your car does not need to start, drive, or pass any kind of inspection. We send a free flatbed or appropriate truck to safely remove vehicles with dead batteries, missing wheels, accident damage, or mechanical issues anywhere in Wisconsin.
No inspection or repairs required
You don’t need to fix dents, replace tires, or clean the interior. Just tell us the honest condition and location, and we handle the rest—from dispatching the right truck to ensuring the sale and tax paperwork are completed correctly.
