If your goal is to get that car out of your driveway fast, Badger Auto Aid can usually make it happen in 24–48 hours across most of Wisconsin. Many donors in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine, Appleton, Waukesha, and surrounding suburbs get same‑day or next‑day pickup. It starts with a simple 2‑minute online form or phone call. Once you submit, a local coordinator arranges a free tow at a time that works for you, Monday through Saturday.
On pickup day, the tow driver comes right to your home, workplace, or storage lot anywhere in Wisconsin — from the North Side of Milwaukee to Fitchburg, De Pere, Eau Claire, La Crosse, or the Fox Valley. You’ll sign over the title at pickup (or mail it in a few days if needed), and your driveway is suddenly clear. After your vehicle is sold, you receive a written tax acknowledgment from Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting people who are blind or visually impaired. From that first 2‑minute contact to a cleared driveway is typically just 24–48 hours, with no inspection, no repairs, and no out‑of‑pocket cost.

Receive your tax acknowledgment
Within a few business days of saleAfter your vehicle is sold, Heritage for the Blind sends you a written acknowledgment by mail or email. This is your tax documentation for a potential deduction; for donations over the IRS threshold, you’ll use Form 1098‑C with your tax preparer.
