Setting the appointment
Setting the appointment to accommodate me was not part of the process. I won’t recommend your service to anybody. It may be a good cause, you didn’t consider my time as valuable

A small blemish on an otherwise fantastic experience.
A fantastic charity I have used several times. Normally 5 stars, though in this instance the roof racks on my vehicle did cause some superficial damage to the garage on the way out. That said, it was a very challenging removal and I understand how it happened.

Donating a vehicle
Once Wheels for Wishes secured a tow company to pick my vehicle up everything went smooth. (The first tow company was not responsive).
I was able to receive a tow receipt upon pickup and subsequent correspondence and 1098 upon the selling of the car. I would definitely recommend Wheels for Wishes to anyone interested in donating a vehicle

Easy to Donate My Motorcycle
Wow, this was a lot easier than I expected. After filling out the online information, I scheduled pickup online as well. Tow truck called me the day of the pickup to fine-tune the pickup time, and he showed up on time. Funny thing was he was expecting a car although I donated a motorcycle. :)

Nothing wrong with Wheels for Wishes
Nothing wrong with Wheels for Wishes. The auction company was supposed to pick the vehicle up on Nov. 25th 2024. They never showed up. I called, no one answered and never returned my call until five days later. They acted like I never made the arrangement. Didn't talk to them because of anger. I wasted a whole valuable day. So sad for Wheels for Wishes organization. They lost the donation.

Horrible and dishonest…
Horrible and dishonest is how I would describe the whole experience. So I highly not recommend this service. Too bad 0 star is not an option as it would have been my choice. 1st I wasn't given a time frame of when the tow truck would be arriving. I waited and waited and had to step away to do some errands thinking it would be safe to do so. The tow truck showed up when i was away so the wife granted the driver access to the car which was fine. 2nd My issue is that I didn't sign the title thinking that the driver would have reached out to for approval. When I got home I called the rep and she tried calling the driver a few times and was not able to reach the driver. 3rd So the next day called the tow company and explained the situation and that I also forgot my garage door remote. She said it wasn't an issue and that they have a Power of attorney to sign the title which i did no agree to. she said she would be mailing both the garage door remote along with the title to sign back to me the next day. None of that ever happened which is very disappointing!!!
