With Buckeye Auto Gifts, same-day pickup is possible in many metro areas when you call before noon Monday–Friday, and 24–48 hour pickup is available almost everywhere in the state. Your vehicle doesn’t need to run or pass inspection. A licensed towing partner comes right to your driveway, and you receive a tax-deductible receipt for your donation to Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) serving people who are blind or visually impaired.
Whether you’re in Columbus (Clintonville, Hilliard, Reynoldsburg), Cleveland (Lakewood, Parma, Shaker Heights), Cincinnati (West Chester, Anderson, Hyde Park), Dayton, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown, or smaller towns across Ohio, the process is fast and simple. You’ll need a signed Ohio title in hand. Call for urgent, same-day needs, or use the quick online form if you’re flexible by a day.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in many Ohio metros
When you call before noon Monday–Friday from major Ohio areas like Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron, or Toledo, we can often schedule same-day pickup, subject to local truck availability and your title being ready.
Start in under 2 minutes
If timing is tight, you don’t have to waste an afternoon on paperwork. A quick phone call or our short online form gets everything started in about 2 minutes so dispatch can lock in your earliest available time window.
Monday–Saturday dispatch coverage
Our dispatch team works Monday through Saturday to cover Ohio donors’ schedules. That means more options for weekday same-day service and plenty of next-day or 24–48 hour slots, even if you’re juggling work or a weekend move.
Non-running, damaged, or failed-emissions cars OK
Worried your car won’t qualify because it doesn’t start or failed Ohio emissions? It’s not a problem. For same-day or next-day towing, your vehicle does not need to run, drive, or pass inspection—we’ll pick it up as-is at no cost.
No inspection or repairs needed
You don’t have to fix anything, schedule a mechanic, or get a last-minute inspection. As long as you have a signed Ohio title, we can accept most vehicles in as-is condition and get a licensed tow truck out to you quickly.
