Junk Cars

Junk car and abandoned vehicle removal. Cash, title, or neither - handled.

Quick Tow New Orleans provides junk car removal and abandoned vehicle removal across Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Bernard parishes - free pickup, same-week scheduling, and cash offers on many vehicles. That non-running car in the side yard, the one with the flat tires and a check-engine light that's been sitting since before the last hurricane season - we haul it. City or HOA issued an abandoned-vehicle notice at your property? Same deal. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with certified dismantlers, and quote cash offers by phone before we roll.

What do homeowners ask about Junk Cars?

Do you do abandoned vehicle removal near me in New Orleans?

Yes - Quick Tow New Orleans provides abandoned vehicle removal throughout Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Bernard parishes, from the French Quarter and Uptown to Metairie, Kenner, and Chalmette. Under City of New Orleans rules, a vehicle counts as abandoned if it is left inoperable on public property for more than 3 days, or on private property without the owner's consent for more than 24 hours. If a vehicle is abandoned on your property and you need it gone, call us. We walk you through the notice requirements, handle the pickup, and coordinate paperwork with the DMV. There is no charge to the property owner.

Will you pay cash for my junk car?

Often, yes. Cash offers depend on year, make, model, weight, and whether it runs. Give us that information when you call and we quote a number over the phone before we schedule pickup.

Do I need a title for junk vehicle removal?

For most vehicles, yes - we need a title or a DMV release. If the title is lost, we can often help you apply for a duplicate at no cost. If the vehicle is abandoned on your property and not registered to you, there is a separate legal process (often starting with a report to the city through 311 or nola311.org) - we'll walk you through it.

What if I live in an apartment or HOA?

We handle junk car and abandoned vehicle removal from apartment complexes, HOAs, and private rental properties routinely. The property owner or manager needs to authorize removal and show that proper notice was given to the vehicle owner. We'll ask for the paperwork and handle the rest.

What happens to the junk vehicle after removal?

It goes to a certified dismantler. Running parts get resold; metal gets recycled; fluids and batteries are disposed of per Louisiana environmental rules. That process is part of why we can pay cash - there is real value in the recycled materials.

We provide junk cars in every city and community across the New Orleans metro. Pick your city for local details and service specifics.

Orleans Core Junk Cars in New Orleans Below-sea-level streets flood on a normal thunderstorm, not just a hurricane, and a tourist economy fills the streets with unfamiliar rental drivers year-round.
Orleans Core Junk Cars in French Quarter Narrow one-way streets, aggressive nightly parking enforcement, and 2 a.m. bar-close recoveries keep tow trucks working the Quarter every night of the week.
