Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Kelmark Tow is listed by the Official Police Garage Association as the OPG for LAPD South Bureau (Southeast) and conducts public lien‑sale auctions. The specific Kelmark division page (opgla.com/divisions/KelmarkTow.aspx) is referenced by directories but may be intermittently unavailable. Third‑party listings frequently cite a Monday 10:00 AM auction; the same profile also shows a Thursday 9:00 AM schedule. Because schedules can change and third‑party pages conflict, verify the current auction day/time directly with Kelmark Tow at (323) 779‑3202 before attending. For citywide OPG vehicle/auction search, use the OPGLA portals (Vehicle Information Impound Center and OPG Auction pages). No Kelmark‑specific mobile app, gate pass, PIN, virtual queue, or transporter authorization system could be found; such requirements are not mentioned on OPG umbrella resources.
