If you’re ready to donate your car today in Metro Atlanta, you’re in the right place. With Wheels of Change, you can start your donation in about two minutes and, in most cases, schedule same-day pickup when you contact us before noon on a weekday. If same-day isn’t available in your exact area or time window, we’ll confirm the next-business-day pickup so you know exactly when your driveway will be clear.
Here’s how it works in Atlanta: start by calling Wheels of Change and speaking with a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator (Monday–Saturday), or complete our simple online form. We’ll confirm your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in Buckhead, Decatur, Marietta, Sandy Springs, College Park, or anywhere across Metro Atlanta. Your car does not need to run; we’ll send a tow truck or flatbed at no cost. Once your vehicle is sold, you’ll receive a written tax receipt, usually within 30 days, that meets IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations valued over $500. Every donation supports Heritage for the Blind’s services for people who are blind or visually impaired.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-Day or Next-Business-Day Pickup
In most Metro Atlanta locations, calls placed before noon on weekdays qualify for same-day pickup. If a same-day slot isn’t available, we prioritize the next-business-day time that works for you and confirm the window before you hang up.
2-Minute Donation Start
You can begin your donation in about two minutes by phone or online. Share your contact details and basic vehicle info, and our team takes it from there—no lengthy questionnaires, no uploading photos, and no back-and-forth haggling.
Monday–Saturday Live Dispatch
A real coordinator is available Monday through Saturday to schedule pickups and answer timing questions. This weekday and Saturday coverage helps you move quickly, whether you call from Downtown Atlanta on your lunch break or from the suburbs on a Saturday morning.
Non-Running Vehicles Fully Accepted
Your car does not need to start, pass emissions, or even have current tags. We arrange free tow or flatbed service from your driveway, apartment lot, or repair shop, so condition won’t slow down your donation or your pickup date.
No Inspections or Repairs Required
You don’t have to fix a thing or schedule a pre-inspection. Tell us honestly about the car’s condition, and we’ll pick it up as-is. Skipping these steps keeps your donation on track for same-day or next-business-day removal in Metro Atlanta.
