Donating your car can be a great way to support your community while clearing out space in your driveway. At Sunflower Autos, we make the process simple, especially over the weekends. Saturdays are widely available for pickup from 8 AM to 4 PM, providing you with plenty of options. Our Sunday pickups, however, may vary based on your location and dispatcher availability, so it's best to plan ahead and confirm those slots in advance.
To ensure a successful scheduling experience, we recommend submitting your donation request by Friday afternoon. This gives us the necessary time to coordinate with our tow operators and secure a pickup time that works for you. Whether you’re donating due to a recent change in vehicles or simply looking to help a good cause, we’re here to assist you every step of the way.
Step-by-step timeline
Step 1: Submit Donation Form
Complete our simple donation form on the website. Provide your contact details and vehicle information to kickstart the pickup process.
Step 2: Confirmation Call
Our team will call you to confirm your donation and finalize the details, including selecting a suitable pickup day and time within the available windows.
Step 3: Prepare Your Vehicle
Make sure to have your vehicle title, keys, and any required documents ready. Removing personal belongings ensures a smooth pickup experience.
Step 4: Pickup Day
On the scheduled day, our tow operator will arrive at your location within the agreed timeframe (8 AM to 4 PM on Saturday, limited hours on Sunday).
Step 5: Donation Completion
After the vehicle is picked up, you’ll receive a receipt for your donation. IRS Form 1098-C will be mailed after the vehicle is sold.
What you need ready

- Car keys
- Signed donation release form
- Confirmation of your address
- Accessibility for the tow truck
Honest expectations
While we strive to make weekend car donations as convenient as possible, please understand that same-day pickups are not guaranteed in all areas, especially on Sundays. Our team will do our best to accommodate your request, but it's crucial to confirm your pickup by Friday afternoon to secure your weekend time slot. For holiday weekends, please check for availability as our operations may be limited, and we may be closed on major holidays.
How pickup logistics work
Our coordination involves a dedicated dispatcher who works closely with our network of tow operators. The dispatcher ensures that your pickup is scheduled efficiently based on location and availability. You'll receive notifications regarding your pickup time, and our tow operators will reach out to confirm their arrival window, keeping communication clear and straightforward.
Kansas pickup notes
In Kansas, we have a diverse range of urban, suburban, and rural areas, impacting tow operator density. Urban locations often have more flexible scheduling options, while rural areas may have limited availability. Be mindful of local constraints such as HOA permits and street-parking rules, which can affect where our tow trucks can operate. We recommend being prepared to guide our operators for seamless access.
