You can start and complete your car donation to Maine Motors Giveback today. In most Maine metro and larger town areas, if you contact us on a weekday before noon, we can often arrange same-day pickup; otherwise, your car is usually picked up the next business day. Your part takes about two minutes by phone or online. Once you finish, our towing partner handles everything—at no cost to you—and you receive a tax receipt after the vehicle sells, typically within 30 days.
Here’s how it works for donors across Maine—from Portland, South Portland, and Westbrook to Lewiston–Auburn, Bangor, Augusta, Biddeford, Saco, Sanford, and coastal towns like Brunswick and Rockland. Start by calling Maine Motors Giveback (benefiting Heritage for the Blind) or filling out the quick online form. A live coordinator (available Monday–Saturday) confirms your car’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in a downtown neighborhood, on a rural road, or near I‑95. We then match you with a local tow driver, schedule your free pickup (flatbed available for non‑running cars), and handle the donation paperwork so you can clear your driveway fast and support services for people who are blind or visually impaired.

Processing, sale, and tax receipt

Use your receipt at tax time

Monday–Saturday live dispatch
Coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to confirm your details and work with local tow partners. That means more options for quick weekday or Saturday pickups that fit Maine work and school schedules.
Non-running and damaged cars welcome
Your car does not need to run or pass inspection. We can arrange flatbed towing for vehicles that won’t start, are wrecked, or have been sitting. You still get free pickup and a tax receipt after sale.
