Can I junk without a Title in Lafayette?

Yes — but only under certain conditions. In Louisiana, most junkyards and buyers require a valid title to transfer ownership. If yours is missing, the safest route is to request a duplicate title through the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) using Form DPSMV-1799.

It’s possible that we can find you a buyer without, typically, if the car is pre-2012 or is completely inoperable and clearly being sold for salvage or parts. In these cases, you’ll need alternate proof of ownership such as a registration, bill of sale, and a valid photo ID.

For more information on junking a car in Louisana without a title please view our article for more information, or call our experts for advice on your situation.

I’m listed as a co-owner on the car title, can I still junk the car?

Your ability to junk a car depends on the wording of the title. If co-owners are listed with “or,” any owner can junk it independently. If listed with “and,” all must sign or authorize via power of attorney. “And/or” typically requires both owners to sign. Always confirm the title details, and our team can guide you through the process if needed.

Should I sell my car for junk, or as salvage?

When deciding between junking and salvaging your car, you should know that junking gives quick cash, but salvaging can offer more if your car has valuable parts. Salvage buyers pay more for reusable components. At Wheelsaway, we ensure you get the best deal, whether your car is junked or salvaged. Salvaging means your car’s parts are bought and used, potentially fetching a higher price. Don’t settle for a cheap offer when your car’s parts could be worth more. We connect you with specialist markets that pay well for salvaged vehicles. Get the most cash for your used car by choosing the right option. Sell smart with Wheelsaway.

Who Will Pick Up My Car?

Our team will collect your car promptly and pay you on the spot. We partner with skilled professionals who are certified and reliable. You won’t have to deal with just anyone; our collectors are trained to handle all types of vehicles and situations. Whether you’re there or not, they’ll take care of everything efficiently and safely.

Is my car too good to junk?

Is your car too good to be considered junk? Not at all! Even if it’s in good condition, Wheelsaway can still buy it for parts or repairs. We pay top dollar for all vehicles, no matter their condition. Your car will be towed away, and you’ll get paid on the spot. Selling your car for metal doesn’t mean it’s junk—it means you’re making smart money moves.

How do I get paid?

You’ll get paid once your car is picked up. Payments are typically made electronically for safety, but if you need cash, please inform us during confirmation. We aim to arrange collection swiftly so you can pocket those hard-earned dollars sooner rather than later.
