The Centre delivers Recovery and Storage Cost Management Services, and the provision of policy holder vehicle pick up services (Owner Connect). They ensure that policy holders have their vehicles collected quickly, safely, and conveniently, and provide swift payment on behalf of the insurers. 

 The team is delivering exceptional results on a daily basis with their call handling capabilities, using real-time data to ensure that optimal performance and service delivery are achieved for our customers. 

  • The Centre handles around 750,000 customer calls every year, answered on average in less than 10 seconds.
  • Supported by our nationwide network of Copart Operation Centres, vehicle collection is normally arranged within an hour of the assignment being received.
  • The Centre has achieved outstanding audit results for quality, demonstrating a world class customer experience.

Cutting Edge Tech 

Alongside the experience and expertise of our customer service advisors, technology plays a vital role in our ability to deliver world-class service.  

  • Innovative data-sharing technology enables total system integration between our operating system and our insurance customers’ claims systems.  
  • Real-time data transfer provides our insurance customers with an efficient and seamless total loss claims process. 
  • Dynamic route scheduling software enables us to optimise the availability and location of our transporter fleet, alongside real time road data, and plan the most effective routes for our drivers.  

We’re proud to lead the market with our service levels, but we will never be complacent and are always seeking ways to improve what we do and how we do it. We always have unique technology improvements in the pipeline to further improve the customer experience.
