Wondering how fast you can get that car out of your driveway in Oregon? With Cascade Car Exchange, most donors go from first call to cleared driveway in just 24–48 hours, and often same‑day in major metro areas like Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford, and Vancouver‑area suburbs across the river. You start with a simple 2‑minute online form or phone call, we schedule your free tow, and you’re usually done by the next day.
Here’s how it works: you tell us where the vehicle is in Oregon—whether it’s in a Portland neighborhood like Sellwood, St. Johns, or Lents, a suburb like Beaverton, Gresham, Hillsboro, or Oregon City, or farther out in places like Albany, Corvallis, Grants Pass, or the Oregon Coast. Our coordinator immediately checks local truck availability and books a pickup—often same‑day or next business day, Monday through Saturday. The tow driver comes right to your home, workplace, or storage lot at no charge. You’ll sign the Oregon title at pickup (or mail it within a few days if needed), and we handle the rest. After the vehicle is sold, Cascade Car Exchange sends you a written tax acknowledgment from Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3), typically within a few business days. From your first 2‑minute step to an open driveway, the process is built for speed and simplicity.
