Who buys the car?
NOLA Junk Car Buyers is a website and phone line. When you call or text, your call goes to a towing and salvage yard on Paris Road in Chalmette that has been in business about 38 years. That yard answers, makes the offer, picks up the car and pays you.
This site does not set prices or promise pickup times. What the yard offers and how it pays, the yard tells you on the call.
Which cars does the yard buy?
Start with the problem you actually have: a car that will not start, one that flooded, one with no title. Each page says what to ask and what to have ready before you call.

Four things to have ready before you call
With these, the number you hear on the call is the number that holds at pickup.
- Year, make, model and mileage. Whatever the registration card or the door sticker says. If you do not know the mileage, say so.
- What is wrong with it. Whether it starts, whether it flooded, whether it was wrecked, what is missing: battery, catalytic converter, wheels, keys.
- What paperwork you have. A title in your name, in someone else’s name, in the name of someone who died, or none. There is a route for each.
- Where it sits and how to reach it. Driveway, backyard, carport or street. A locked gate or a low carport changes which truck comes.
