If you’re in North Carolina and need your car picked up today or tomorrow, Legacy Wheels can move fast. In most NC metro areas, when you call before noon Monday–Friday, we can often arrange same-day pickup. Everywhere else in North Carolina, we routinely schedule free towing within 24–48 hours. Your car does not need to run, and you’ll receive a donation tax receipt from Heritage for the Blind after your vehicle is sold.
Here’s how it works for North Carolina donors: you call or submit our 2-minute form with your VIN, location, and the best time window. Our Heritage for the Blind dispatch team (a 501(c)(3), EIN 58-2164446) schedules a licensed tow truck to meet you right at your address — whether you’re in Charlotte (NoDa, Ballantyne, University City), Raleigh (North Hills, Brier Creek, downtown), Greensboro, Durham, Wilmington, Asheville, Fayetteville, or a smaller town. The tow is always free, your title just needs to be signed, and the driver handles the paperwork pickup. After the vehicle sells, you receive a tax receipt you may use to claim a charitable deduction, subject to IRS rules.
