Need your car gone today or tomorrow in Maine? With Maine Motors Giveback, same-day pickup is available in most metropolitan areas when you call before noon on a weekday, and next-day pickup is available almost anywhere in the state. Your car does not need to run, pass inspection, or even have current plates. We send a licensed tow truck to your driveway, tow it away at no cost, and you get a tax receipt for your donation to Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) supporting people who are blind or visually impaired.
Whether you’re in Portland, South Portland, Bangor, Lewiston–Auburn, Augusta, Biddeford–Saco, Brunswick, Sanford, or smaller towns from York County up through Aroostook, our dispatch team works Monday through Saturday to match you with the earliest open time slot. All you need is a signed title, access to the vehicle, and 2 minutes to start. For truly urgent same-day pickup—insurance lapsing, moving out, or you need your garage cleared—call us directly so we can lock in the fastest window. Otherwise, submit the short online form anytime, and we’ll typically have your car gone within 24–48 hours in Maine.

5–10 minutesHave your signed Maine title ready. Our team reviews your info, answers timing questions, and offers the earliest pickup—often same-day in metro areas like Portland, Bangor, and Lewiston when you call before noon on a weekday, or within 24–48 hours almost anywhere.
Free tow truck arrives at your location
15–30 minutes (at pickup)A licensed tow truck comes to your driveway, workplace, or storage lot anywhere in Maine. The car doesn’t need to start, drive, or pass inspection. You hand over the keys and title, sign a simple release, and they tow it away at no cost to you.
Driveway cleared and paperwork handled
Same dayOnce the tow truck leaves, your parking spot, driveway, or garage in Maine is clear. We handle the auction or recycling process, coordinate all logistics with Heritage for the Blind, and take care of the backend paperwork tied to your donated vehicle.
Receive your tax receipt by mail
2–6 weeksAfter your vehicle is sold or processed, Maine Motors Giveback sends you a written tax receipt for your donation to Heritage for the Blind. You can use this with your tax preparer; donations over the IRS threshold typically use Form 1098‑C for documentation.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in much of Maine
Call before noon on a weekday and, in most Maine metro areas like Portland, Bangor, and Lewiston–Auburn, we can usually arrange same-day towing. Outside metro hubs, we still work to get you picked up within 24–48 hours whenever possible.
2-minute start from anywhere in Maine
Whether you’re in South Portland, Augusta, Biddeford, or a smaller town, it takes about 2 minutes to start your donation by phone or online. Share your basics, and our dispatch team quickly finds the soonest tow slot that matches your schedule.
Monday–Saturday dispatch coverage
Our dispatch center operates Monday through Saturday to meet tight deadlines—moving dates, expiring insurance, or a buyer for your house. More dispatch days mean more flexible options, including early morning and evening pickups in many Maine areas.
Non-running and failed-inspection cars OK
The vehicle does not need to run, drive, or pass Maine state inspection. We routinely tow cars with dead batteries, bad transmissions, or rust issues. If a tow truck can reach it, we can usually remove it and still provide your donation tax receipt.
No repairs, emissions, or prep needed
Skip the repair shop and inspection line. You don’t need to fix anything, renew registration, or carry insurance for us to pick it up. Just have a signed title and access to the vehicle, and we’ll handle the rest with free towing anywhere in Maine.
