These cars have been impounded and most have no key. The cars are located at 700 Patton Avenue, Greensboro, NC 27406. You may look thru the fence to the left of building front to view cars, but no entry inside fence until after auction and cars are paid for.

You will get paperwork to receive a registration and a title if there is no lien present on the vehicle. If a lien is found, you can register the car in your name, but will have to work with the lien holder to receive a transferable title. Lots are listed as lien, no lien or unknown. Pleas look at the description to check the lien status. Personal Property without tiles are subject to NC Sales Tax. Vehicles with Petition Paperwork may be delayed by court system.
