Junk car removal in Greater New Orleans
Most junk cars can not drive to the yard. Tell us exactly where yours sits and what shape it is in, and the yard plans the pickup around it. A car on its wheels in an open driveway is one job. A car with no wheels behind a locked gate in a backyard is another, and saying so up front saves a wasted trip.
How junk car removal works
- Tell us the address or cross streets and whether the car is on a driveway, in a backyard, in a carport or on the street
- Say whether it rolls: tires holding air, wheels on, steering unlocked, keys present
- Mention anything in the way: a locked gate, a low carport, a narrow side yard, other cars
- The yard confirms the pickup details and what it needs to see from you
- Be there at pickup with your ID and paperwork unless the yard tells you otherwise
- Take everything personal out of the car first: glove box, trunk, under the seats, the toll tag
When does this fit?
- The car does not run, or it is not safe or legal to drive on the road
- The car has no wheels, flat tires or a seized brake
- The car is on the street and has a notice on the windshield
- You are moving and the car can not come with you
- You do not want to deal with getting it to a yard yourself
Common questions
Is pickup free?
Ask the yard when you call. This site does not promise free towing, because the yard sets its own terms and they can depend on where the car is and what it takes to move it.
Do I have to be there when the car gets picked up?
Plan on it. The yard needs to see your ID and the paperwork, and someone has to hand over the keys if there are any. If you can not be there, say so when you call and ask what the yard accepts.
There is a notice on my car. How fast can it be moved?
In New Orleans, the NOPD notice gives the owner 48 hours to move the car, under the department’s abandoned and nuisance vehicle policy. Call the same day you see it and say the notice is there. The 48-hour notice guide covers what the notice means.
Which areas do you pick up from?
The service area is Orleans, St. Bernard, Jefferson and Plaquemines parishes. The area pages cover each one. If your car is somewhere else, call anyway and ask.
Which parts of Greater New Orleans?
Each part of the metro has its own junk and abandoned car rules. Pick yours.
