It beats the time and effort of trying to sell your vehicle, while giving back to your community.
If you are ready to donate your vehicle, complete our online donation form today and let us handle the rest.
Why Do Vehicle Donations Matter in Knoxville?
Every vehicle donation helps create funding for important breast cancer programs that serve people in need. Proceeds from donated vehicles help support screening services that encourage early detection, along with patient care and treatment resources that make a lasting difference for individuals and families.
Your donation also helps support community outreach efforts that educate people about breast health and connect them with valuable local resources. At the same time, you receive meaningful benefits of your own, including free vehicle removal, potential federal tax benefits, and the satisfaction of helping your local community.
When you make car donations in Knoxville, TN, your unused vehicle becomes a source of hope instead of taking up space in your driveway or garage.
What Are the Tax Benefits of Donating a Car to Charity?
Many donors qualify for a federal tax deduction after donating a vehicle. Once your donated vehicle is sold, we will mail you an IRS tax receipt that includes the information needed for your records. Keep this document with your tax paperwork and consult your tax professional about claiming any eligible deduction based on current IRS guidelines.

Accepted vehicles include:
- Cars

If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, contact our team and we will be happy to help.
How Does Free Towing Work?
We provide free towing throughout Knoxville and nearby communities. After your donation is approved, we will work with you to schedule a pickup time that fits your schedule. Pickup is often available within a few business days, depending on your location and availability.
Please make sure your vehicle is accessible for the tow truck. If the vehicle is parked behind a locked gate or in another difficult location, let us know when scheduling so we can make the proper arrangements.
