If you're considering donating your car, doing it on the weekend can be a convenient option. Metro Wheels offers Saturday pickups from 8 AM to 4 PM across New York City, ensuring a broader availability for donors. A Sunday pickup may be possible in select areas, depending on dispatcher availability. Remember, scheduling is key—our weekend slots can fill quickly, so it's best to confirm your spot in advance.
To secure your weekend pickup, ensure you submit your donation form by Friday afternoon. This allows our team to coordinate your car's removal efficiently. Our goal is to make the donation process seamless for you, so gather any necessary paperwork and prepare your vehicle for collection. Let’s free up that space while helping those in need!
Step-by-step timeline
Submit Donation Form
Fill out our simple online form with vehicle details and your contact information. Aim to do this by Friday afternoon for weekend availability.
Receive Confirmation Call
Our dispatcher will reach out to confirm your pickup time and address. Expect a call within hours of your submission, especially for weekend requests.
Prepare Your Vehicle
Gather essential items such as the title and keys. Clear access to your car is crucial for a smooth pickup. Have any required documents ready for the driver.
Pickup Day
On your scheduled day, our tow truck will arrive within the agreed time frame. Saturdays typically run from 8 AM to 4 PM, while Sunday may vary by region.

- Clear access path for the tow truck
Honest expectations
While we strive to offer weekend pickups, it's essential to understand that Sunday availability is limited based on dispatcher assignments in your area. Additionally, major holidays may interrupt our schedule, so please check for potential delays. Same-day pickups aren't typical and should be discussed in advance. With Metro Wheels, we aim for transparency—your understanding helps ensure a smooth donation experience.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatch team coordinates closely with a network of tow operators to schedule your pickup. After you complete the form, our dispatcher will confirm the details and relay them to the driver. Expect clear communication as our team works to ensure your vehicle is removed promptly and efficiently on your chosen weekend day.

Some areas might have specific HOA regulations or require parking permits, impacting our ability to retrieve vehicles.
