Need your car gone fast in Wisconsin? With Badger Auto Aid, same-day pickup is available in most metro areas when you call before noon on a weekday, and 24–48 hour pickup is available almost everywhere statewide. Your car doesn’t have to run, pass inspection, or be insured. A licensed tow truck comes to your address, hauls it away free, and you receive a tax receipt backing a real 501(c)(3), Heritage for the Blind (EIN 58-2164446).
The process is built for speed. You’ll need a signed Wisconsin title in hand. Call our dispatch team Monday–Saturday for the fastest scheduling, or use the quick online form to get the ball rolling in about two minutes. We regularly serve Milwaukee (Bay View, Wauwatosa, West Allis), Madison (East Side, Fitchburg, Sun Prairie), Green Bay, Kenosha, Racine, Appleton, Wausau, Eau Claire, La Crosse, and more. Whether you’re clearing a garage in Oshkosh, moving out of a downtown Madison apartment, or your insurance lapses tomorrow in Brookfield, we work to match the earliest available truck so your driveway is clear on your timeline.
Your complete donation timeline
Call or start the 2-minute online form
2 minutesShare your Wisconsin location, basic car details, and how urgent your deadline is. For true same-day needs, calling is best so dispatch can check today’s truck routes in areas like Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, and beyond while you’re on the line.
Confirm title, pickup address, and time window
5–10 minutesHave your signed Wisconsin title ready. We’ll confirm your exact pickup address, note if the car is non-running, in a tight alley, or in a parking garage, and offer the earliest time window—often same-day if you called before noon in metro areas.
Free licensed tow truck arrives in Wisconsin
30–45 minutes at pickupA professional, licensed tow partner comes directly to your home, workplace, or storage lot. They’ll handle loading, even if the vehicle won’t start, has a flat tire, or hasn’t passed emissions. You hand over the keys and signed title; no payment or fees, ever.
Car is towed, driveway or spot is cleared
Same day to 48 hoursOnce the tow truck leaves, your driveway, street spot, or garage in places like West Allis, Middleton, or De Pere is clear. This helps you meet move-out dates, HOA rules, or insurance deadlines without paying for storage or rush repairs on a car you no longer want.
Receive your donation tax receipt by mail
2–6 weeks after pickupAfter the vehicle is processed, you receive a written tax receipt from Heritage for the Blind, a registered 501(c)(3). Donations over the IRS threshold typically use Form 1098-C. You keep this with your records to support your potential federal income tax deduction.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in most Wisconsin metros
When you call before early afternoon on a weekday, dispatch can often place you on an open truck route that same day in larger areas like Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, and Kenosha, subject to truck availability and your location.
2-minute start from anywhere in Wisconsin
Whether you’re in Eau Claire, Appleton, Waukesha, or La Crosse, you can begin the donation in about two minutes by phone or online. A few questions let dispatch quickly match you with the earliest available pickup slot.
Monday–Saturday dispatch for flexible scheduling
Badger Auto Aid’s dispatch partners operate Monday through Saturday, giving you more options to fit around work, moving dates, or an insurance cutoff. Weekday mornings usually offer the best chance at same-day or next-day pickup.
Non-running and failed-inspection cars welcome
Your car doesn’t need to start, drive, or pass emissions for same-day or next-day service. Tow partners regularly handle dead batteries, blown engines, and rusted-out vehicles across Wisconsin, at no cost to you.
No inspection, repairs, or towing fees needed
Skip the hassle of trying to fix or smog a car you’re getting rid of. There’s no pre-inspection, repair requirement, or towing charge—just a free licensed tow and a donation tax receipt from Heritage for the Blind.
