If you’re in Greater Houston and just want your car gone fast, Lone Star Wheels is built for speed. For most donors, it’s 24–48 hours from your first call or online form to a completely cleared driveway. In many Houston neighborhoods, we can even arrange same‑day pickup, depending on when you contact us and truck availability. You don’t need repairs, you don’t need an inspection, and you don’t need to drive anywhere—we come to you, tow for free, and handle the paperwork with you on the spot.
Here’s how it works in Houston: you start with a 2‑minute online form or quick phone call. A local coordinator reviews your info and schedules a pickup time—often the same day or the next business day in areas like Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pearland, Pasadena, Cypress, Spring, and inside the Loop from Montrose to the Heights. Our tow partner meets you at your home, office, or storage lot, loads the vehicle, and you sign the title at pickup or mail it within a few days. Once the vehicle is sold, Lone Star Wheels sends you a written tax acknowledgment on behalf of Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) supporting people who are blind or visually impaired.
