Need your car gone today in Connecticut? With Nutmeg Auto Aid, same-day pickup is available in most metro areas when you call before noon on a weekday, and 24–48 hour pickup is available almost everywhere in the state. Your car does not need to run, pass inspection, or even have current registration. A licensed tow truck comes right to your driveway, and you receive a tax receipt for your donation benefiting Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) serving people who are blind or visually impaired.
The process is built for real Connecticut timelines—whether your insurance is lapsing, you’re moving out of a Stamford high-rise, clearing a Hartford garage before a tenant moves in, or freeing up a tight New Haven driveway. You just need a signed Connecticut title in hand. Call Nutmeg Auto Aid for urgent same-day needs, or submit the 2-minute online form to request the next available slot. Dispatch operates Monday through Saturday, coordinating free towing in and around Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford, Waterbury, Danbury, Norwalk, New Britain, and beyond. We confirm your pickup window, the tow truck loads your vehicle from your home, work, or storage lot, and you’re done—no emissions test, no repairs, no DMV visit first.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day in most Connecticut metro areas
When you call before early afternoon on a weekday, we can often arrange same-day pickup in and around Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford, Waterbury, and nearby suburbs. If today isn’t possible, we prioritize the earliest 24–48 hour slot statewide.
Start in 2 minutes from anywhere in Connecticut
You can begin your donation from your phone or laptop in about two minutes. A quick call is best for true rush situations; the online form works well when next-day pickup is acceptable and lets dispatch follow up with a confirmed time window.
Monday–Saturday expert dispatch
Nutmeg Auto Aid’s dispatch team operates Monday through Saturday, coordinating licensed tow partners across Connecticut. That six-day schedule gives you more options to meet tight moving, insurance, or landlord deadlines without waiting through a long weekend.
Non-running and failed-emissions cars welcome
Your car does not have to start, run, or drive. It can fail emissions, have a dead battery, or be undrivable. We send a tow truck prepared to load non-running vehicles from driveways, garages, or lots, so you can still get same-day or next-day service.
No inspection, repairs, or fees required
You don’t need to fix anything or get a new inspection sticker first. There is no towing charge and no donation fee. Just have a signed Connecticut title ready—Nutmeg Auto Aid handles the rest and sends your tax receipt after the vehicle is processed.
