If you’re staring at a car that has to be gone today or tomorrow, Coal Valley Charity Cars can move fast. In most Scranton–Wilkes-Barre metro areas, when you call before noon on a weekday, we can usually schedule same-day pickup. Nearly everywhere else in Pennsylvania, we can have your vehicle off your driveway within 24–48 hours. Your car does not need to run, and towing is always free. You’ll receive a tax receipt from Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3), for your donation.
We know real deadlines: insurance about to lapse, lease ending, moving out of a home in Wilkes-Barre Township, or needing your garage back in Parsons, Miners Mills, or Heights. Our licensed tow partners cover Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Edwardsville, Nanticoke, Pittston, and the greater Scranton–Wilkes-Barre region. You’ll need a signed title in hand; once you have that, just call or submit our 2-minute form. For truly urgent same-day needs, calling is the fastest way to lock in a pickup window. Dispatch operates Monday through Saturday to get your vehicle picked up, paperwork handled, and your driveway cleared with minimum stress.
Your complete donation timeline
Contact us (fastest by phone for same-day)
2 minutesHave your title handy and call Coal Valley Charity Cars to request same-day pickup in the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre area, or submit our short online form. We’ll confirm basic details: vehicle location, condition, and your timing deadline. For tight same-day windows in Wilkes-Barre, Plains, or Kingston, a quick phone call lets dispatch jump on your request immediately.
Confirm pickup time with dispatch
5–10 minutesOur partners at Heritage for the Blind’s dispatch team (operating Monday–Saturday) review your request and match you with a nearby licensed tow truck. In most Wilkes-Barre metro locations, calling before noon on a weekday makes same-day pickup possible. Otherwise, we set a convenient next-day or 24–48 hour window that works with your moving or insurance deadline.
Meet the tow truck (or authorize no-contact)
15–20 minutesThe tow driver meets you at your Wilkes-Barre address—whether you’re in downtown, East End, Parsons, or a nearby suburb like Pittston or Nanticoke. Your car does not need to run, drive, or pass inspection. If needed, you can often authorize a no-contact pickup by arranging keys and title handoff according to the driver’s instructions.
Free towing and quick removal
30–45 minutesThe licensed tow truck loads your vehicle safely and quickly from your driveway, street, or lot—apartment complexes, tight city blocks, or steep driveways in the hills above Wilkes-Barre are all workable in most cases. There is no cost to you for towing. Once the truck leaves, your space is clear and the vehicle is officially on its way as a donation.
Receive your tax receipt from Heritage for the Blind
2–6 weeksAfter your vehicle is processed, you’ll receive a donation acknowledgment and tax receipt from Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) charity (EIN 58-2164446). You can use this for your federal tax deduction, and for donations over certain thresholds you may need IRS Form 1098-C. Keep the title transfer and receipt with your tax records.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in most Scranton–Wilkes-Barre areas
Call before noon on a weekday and, in most parts of the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre metro, we can usually schedule same-day removal. If same-day isn’t available at your exact location, we prioritize you for the earliest possible next-day pickup.
Start in just 2 minutes
Once your title is signed, you can kick off your donation in about two minutes by phone or online. A quick call is best for true same-day needs, but either way we only ask for essential info so dispatch can move immediately.
Monday–Saturday dispatch coverage
Heritage for the Blind’s dispatch team works Monday through Saturday, which lets us schedule pickups around busy workweeks and tight moving timelines. Weekday mornings offer the best chance for same-day towing, with Saturday runs for added flexibility.
Non-running and failed-inspection cars welcome
Your car doesn’t need to start, run, or pass Pennsylvania inspection. We routinely tow vehicles that are dead, damaged, or sitting on flats in driveways from Wilkes-Barre to Kingston and beyond. As long as we can physically access it, we can usually take it.
No repairs, no inspection, no towing cost
You don’t need to spend a dollar getting your car ready. No repairs, no detailing, no new inspection sticker. Our towing partners handle loading and transport at no cost to you, and you still receive a tax receipt for your donation.
