Want your car out of the driveway fast? With AutoLift LA, most Greater Los Angeles donors go from first contact to a cleared space in just 24–48 hours. In many LA neighborhoods, we can even arrange same-day pickup. It all starts with a simple 2‑minute online form or quick phone call. Once you submit, our local coordinators swing into action to match you with the next available tow in your area.
We work across Los Angeles—from Echo Park, Hollywood, and Koreatown to the Valley, the South Bay, and the San Gabriel Valley. After you schedule, a professional tow truck comes right to your home, office, or lot at no charge. You’ll sign over the title at pickup or mail it in within a few days if needed. There’s no inspection, no repairs, and your car doesn’t need to run. After the vehicle is sold, Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3), sends your written tax acknowledgment within a few business days. AutoLift LA operates Monday through Saturday with flexible time windows, so you can get your car donated—and your driveway back—on your schedule.
