The process was very straightforward and went smoothly. Communication was good at all. Points. The only thing that was less than ideal was that our assigned towing appointment was at 6:30 a.m., but I suspect if we had said we could not do it then they would have offered another time.

Keep scheduled pick up dates please

They changed the pick up date a couple times, and tried to change it a 3rd time, but ended up coming same day at a later time after I let them know we took time off to be there. Driver was courteous and very pleasant to deal with.

The car donation process was so simple

The car donation process was so simple, from start to finish. I submitted requested information online and was called right away to confirm and set up a tow. The next day the car was picked up and I was done. Goodwill handles all of the paperwork. So glad I made the decision to donate rather than sell my 18-year old car.

Thank you so much, Tommy!

Donating not just one, but three vehicles—a Lexus SC 430, a Lexus LS 460, and a Cadillac Escalade—is an extraordinary act of generosity, and we are truly grateful.

We’re also glad to hear the driver treated you with courtesy and professionalism. Your support helps Goodwill continue to provide vital job training and community programs that change lives.

Thank you again for making such a meaningful impact!

Two junk trucks

I had two trucks that weren’t running. They actually made two trips to get them. Really good service from the towing company.

Setting up donation of used car handled well over the internet. Confirmation call and email as to time for tow truck to pick up which came on date/time as prescribed. Tow truck driver friendly, provided me with receipt, and was able to remove the car within 20 minutes. My car, 2003 Toyota Camry, served me well and I hope will be of some benefit to Good Will.

Goodwill agreed to let me know how much the Mercedes car was sold for so I can get tax credit. They gave me a receipt only $500 tax credit for a Mercedes Benz at pick up time and I never heard from them.
Can someone please follow up with me?
Thank you

Thank you so much for your generous donation of your Mercedes-Benz M-Class, Opeyemi. We're genuinely sorry for any confusion or frustration you experienced regarding the tax paperwork.

We want to clarify that we did send your official thank-you letter—outlining the sale amount of your vehicle—to the same email address you used to leave this review, back in September 2024. That email also included instructions to contact us if you needed the IRS Form 1098-C for your taxes. Since we didn’t hear back, it’s possible our messages were overlooked, landed in your spam folder, or just got buried—we completely understand how that can happen.

As soon as we saw your review, we promptly resent the thank-you letter to your email on June 12, 2025. If you have any questions or need help accessing that email or anything else, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at (866) 233-8586. We’re happy to assist however we can.

And if your experience feels more resolved now, you’re welcome to update your review using these Trustpilot instructions - https://help.trustpilot.com/s/article/Edit-or-delete-your-review?language=en_US. Your support means a lot, and we’re truly grateful for your donation.

Thanks again, and we hope you have a lovely day!
