The Copart model offers a full service package for every customer including the pickup and transport of vehicles as well as the purchase.

Copart was founded in 1982 by CEO Willis J. Johnson. Johnson, with his entrepreneurial spirit, along with a strong work ethic and a passion for change, started Copart with just one salvage yard in California. In 1994, he took Copart public (NASDAQ: "CPRT"), raising the money needed to expand the company. The development of VB3, Copart’s online auction system, transformed Copart from a salvage vehicle auction company into a company offering a global remarketing platform that links Buyers and Sellers around the world.

Copart’s vision is to continually offer compelling, innovative and unique products and services whilst maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction.

We look forward to working together with you too.
