Our story
Founded in 1982, Willis J. Johnson launched a single salvage yard in Vallejo, California and remains involved in the business to this day. We are now a global leader in online vehicle auctions, vehicle remarketing and parts recycling. 2007 was a landmark year for us after celebrating 25 years in the business, we expanded into the United Kingdom to form Copart UK Limited.
Who we are, what we do
Maintaining our leadership means growing from strength to strength. So, through our unique marketplace and on behalf of our sellers, we connect hundreds of thousands of global buyers, to millions of vehicles, year after year.
With patented technology, the largest fleet, and the most extensive landbank, we make doing business faster, simpler, and more reliable than ever.
We know that continuing to lead and deliver, means constantly pushing forward. Always listening and tirelessly seeking new ways of delivering ever-increasing value to you. Going further and innovating boldly to reduce costs and improve outcomes.
Our commitment to sustainability drives global impact – remarketing and recycling millions of vehicles to reduce costs and environmental impact.
The way we see it, every day is an opportunity to rise to the challenge of succeeding together.
Copart. Always moving forward.
