Need your car gone today or tomorrow in Tennessee? With Volunteer Wheels, same-day pickup is often available in major metro areas like Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga when you call before noon on a weekday. In nearly every part of Tennessee, we can usually schedule your free tow within 24–48 hours. Your vehicle does not need to run, pass inspection, or be insured, and you’ll receive a tax receipt that may allow you to claim a deduction of $500 or more, depending on the sale price.
Here’s how it works in Tennessee: you call us or submit the quick online form with your car’s basic details and your ideal pickup window. Our Heritage for the Blind dispatch team (operating Monday–Saturday) matches you with a licensed local tow partner—whether you’re in Murfreesboro, Clarksville, Johnson City, Franklin, or a smaller town in between. As long as you have a signed Tennessee title ready, the tow truck comes to your address, loads your car from your driveway, street, or garage, and you’re done. Towing is always free, and we handle the sale. Proceeds support services for people who are blind or visually impaired through Heritage for the Blind (EIN 58-2164446).

Get your title ready and clear access
10–20 minutesBefore the truck arrives, locate your Tennessee title and sign where indicated. Make sure the car is accessible in your driveway, parking spot, or garage; it does not need to run. Our towing partner can winch non-running or failed-inspection vehicles right onto the flatbed at your home or storage location.
Free tow from your Tennessee address
15–30 minutesA licensed, insured tow truck meets you within the scheduled window at your home, apartment lot, workplace, or storage facility. They’ll verify paperwork, have you sign the final release, quickly load the vehicle, and tow it away at no cost, leaving your driveway or parking space clear the same day or within 24–48 hours.
Tax receipt from Heritage for the Blind
2–6 weeksAfter your vehicle is sold, you’ll receive a written tax receipt from Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Many donors can claim a deduction of $500 or more; for qualifying donations above IRS thresholds, you’ll use Form 1098-C for your records at tax time.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in Tennessee metros
Call before early afternoon on a weekday and we can often arrange same-day towing in major Tennessee areas like Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga. When same-day isn’t possible, we typically schedule pickup within 24–48 hours.
2-minute start from phone or form
You can begin your Tennessee car donation in about 2 minutes. A quick call or simple online form is usually all we need to start scheduling your free tow and to note that your situation is urgent or time-sensitive.
Monday–Saturday dispatch coverage
Heritage for the Blind dispatch operates Monday through Saturday, giving us six days each week to line up the fastest possible tow for your Tennessee vehicle. That flexibility helps us meet tight move-out, insurance, or storage-deadline situations.
Non-running and failed-inspection cars OK
Your car does not need to run, drive, or pass emissions or safety inspection to qualify for same-day or next-day pickup. Our Tennessee towing partners can winch vehicles that are dead, damaged, or haven’t started in years.
No repairs, no inspection, no towing bill
You don’t have to fix, clean, or inspect your vehicle. Volunteer Wheels arranges a licensed tow truck to come directly to your Tennessee location at no cost, and you still receive a tax receipt after the car is sold.
