What is NOLA Junk Car Buyers?

NOLA Junk Car Buyers is a website and phone line for people who want to sell a junk, broken-down, flooded or wrecked car in Greater New Orleans.

When you call, text or fill out the form, 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. The yard is a separate business from this site. Its name appears here only once the yard approves that in writing.

The site is run by Danny Avila Agency, a marketing agency. The agency writes the guides and keeps the site and phone line running. It does not buy cars.

The guides on this site explain Louisiana’s rules for selling a junk car, with every rule linked to the law or OMV policy it comes from. They are not legal advice. If your case is complicated, check with the OMV or a lawyer.

Before you sell

What should you confirm on the call?

What number you are getting.

Ask whether the number depends on anything the yard has not seen yet, so it does not change at pickup.

How you get paid.

Ask how the yard pays before pickup. Louisiana law limits cash payments by some scrap buyers (R.S. 37:1973).

What paperwork you need.

A title, your ID, or the no-title route the yard uses. Ask whether you need a notary.

What to do after.

Tell the OMV about the sale within 15 days (R.S. 47:510) and handle the plates.
