Are you in a situation where you need your car picked up today? Whether it’s a vehicle that’s no longer running or one you simply don’t need anymore, Alaska Wheels Forward is here to help. Our same-day donation process allows you to donate your vehicle quickly, but we need your cooperation to ensure everything goes smoothly.
To successfully schedule your same-day pickup, it’s crucial to consider a few factors: the vehicle’s condition, the availability of our dispatchers, and whether you have the title and keys ready. Not all requests can be accommodated on the same day, especially in rural areas, so be prepared for some flexibility.
Step-by-step timeline

Fill out our online form by 10 AM Alaska time to qualify for same-day pickup. Provide necessary details about your vehicle and location.
Verification Process

Schedule Tow Truck
Once verified, we will coordinate with our local tow-operator network to schedule your pickup, aiming for same-day service based on dispatcher availability.
Prepare for Pickup
Have the vehicle keys, title (if available), and a clear access path ready for our tow operator. This ensures a seamless pickup experience.

Honest expectations
While we strive for same-day pickups, there are conditions that may affect our ability to do so. If you’re in a remote area or if your vehicle is severely damaged and requires specialized equipment for towing, same-day service may not be feasible. Additionally, we have a morning submission cutoff at 10 AM, so requests submitted after that time would need to be scheduled for the next day. We encourage all donors to check the status of their requests and to communicate clearly with our team about any constraints.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatcher works closely with a network of local tow operators, ensuring your vehicle is picked up in a timely manner. Once you submit your request, our dispatch team will assess your situation and coordinate with the nearest available tow truck, communicating the pickup time and any specific instructions to ensure a smooth process.
Alaska pickup notes
In Alaska, the density of our tow-operator network varies significantly between urban and rural areas. In metropolitan regions, we can typically guarantee faster pickups. However, in more rural locations, it may take longer to arrange a tow. Additionally, be aware of any local parking regulations or HOA permits that may impact where your vehicle can be parked for pickup.
