We work across West Virginia, from Charleston, South Charleston, and Nitro in the Kanawha Valley to Huntington and Barboursville, Morgantown and Fairmont up north, and Beckley, Princeton, and Bluefield in the south.

Same-day or 24–48 hour pickup in most areas

Monday–Saturday live dispatch and support

Non-running cars welcome with free flatbed
Your car does not need to start, drive, or even have all the tires inflated. We arrange free flatbed service for non‑running and damaged vehicles at no cost to you, so you can still donate that car that’s been sitting for years.
No inspection, repairs, or emissions needed
You don’t need to repair the vehicle, pass inspection, or update registration before donating. We accept most vehicles as‑is, which speeds up the process so you can donate today and be done without another trip to a mechanic or DMV.
