If you’re ready to donate your car today in Greater Los Angeles, AutoLift LA can get you scheduled in minutes. Start right now with our 2‑minute online form or call to reach a live Heritage for the Blind donation coordinator Monday–Saturday. In most LA metro areas, weekday donations started before noon can be picked up the same day; otherwise, we’ll arrange the next business day pickup whenever possible. Your car does not need to run—flatbed towing is included at no cost.
Here’s how it works in Los Angeles: you contact AutoLift LA, and a local coordinator confirms your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in Hollywood, Koreatown, Inglewood, Pasadena, the Valley, Long Beach, or anywhere across Greater LA. We match you with a nearby tow provider, schedule a convenient pickup window, and they handle all the paperwork at your driveway or curb. After the vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt—typically within 30 days—meeting IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for donations over $500. You get your space back, help people who are blind or visually impaired, and your donation is fully documented for your taxes.

Non-running vehicles welcome with free flatbed
Your car does not need to start, move, or pass smog. Tow trucks and flatbeds can reach most driveways, carports, and garages across Los Angeles at no cost to you, so condition won’t delay your pickup date.
No inspection or repairs required
You don’t have to fix dents, handle smog checks, or schedule a pre-donation inspection. We accept vehicles as-is, which lets us schedule your Los Angeles pickup as soon as a driver is available in your area.
