About Cool Runnings
New Orleans's 24/7 Towing & Junk Car Team
Cool Runnings Towing & Junk Cars is a locally operated towing and roadside assistance company based right here on Rue Nichole in Algiers, on the West Bank of New Orleans. We serve all of Greater New Orleans — Algiers, Downtown, Uptown, Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, Terrytown, Belle Chasse, Chalmette, and every parish around the city — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, both banks of the river.
We built Cool Runnings around one principle: when your vehicle breaks down, you shouldn't have to sit on hold, get transferred to a call center, or get hit with fees nobody told you about. You call, Ray answers personally, you get a real ETA, and we dispatch the right truck immediately — every time, no exceptions.
Inspired by the legendary Jamaican bobsled team, we're built on the same values: determination, resilience, and pride. We run our own crew across both banks of the river — no third-party subcontractors, no national dispatch centers, no runaround. When you call (504) 616-8357 , you're talking to the team that's actually coming to help you. One call covers everything — emergency towing, flatbed transport, roadside assistance, accident recovery, boat and RV towing, and cash for junk cars. We don't let obstacles slow us down, and neither should you. That's what it means to tow the Cool Runnings way.
Our Services
Emergency Towing
Immediate dispatch anywhere in Greater New Orleans — I-10, I-610, the Crescent City Connection, US-90, Westbank Expressway, and all local streets. Real ETA confirmed before we hang up. Available 24/7, every day of the year.
Flatbed Towing
All four wheels off the ground — zero drivetrain risk. The correct choice for luxury, classics, AWD, EV, low-clearance, and any vehicle that shouldn't ride a wheel-lift. Tesla, Porsche, restored classics — handled properly.
Roadside Assistance
Jump starts, lockout service, flat tire changes, fuel delivery, and winch-out recovery — all under one call. We come to your exact location anywhere in the metro, any hour. No tow needed for most situations.
Accident Recovery
Collision scene response and post-accident transport. We work cleanly with insurance and tow your vehicle to the shop, body shop, or storage of your choice — careful loading on damaged or non-rolling vehicles.
Boat & RV Towing
Specialty trailer service for boats coming off Lake Pontchartrain and RVs along I-10. Proper rigging, careful loading, professional transport from launch ramp or roadside to your destination across the metro.
We Buy Junk Cars
Top dollar cash for junk, wrecked, flooded, and non-running vehicles — with free same-day tow-away. Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, any condition, all makes and models. Cash on the spot.
What Sets Us Apart
Ray Answers Personally
No phone trees, no "press 1 for towing." When you call (504) 616-8357, Ray answers immediately — day or night, holiday or late weeknight. The dispatcher and the operator are the same person.
Confirmed ETAs
We give you a real arrival time before we hang up — not a vague window, not "within the hour." You know exactly when we're coming, and we show up.
Upfront Pricing
We confirm the price before we hook up your vehicle. No surprise fees after the tow, no add-ons at the scene. What we quote is what you pay — for towing, for junk car offers, for everything.
