Copart, Inc. operates a global online auction platform for vehicle remarketing, serving buyers and sellers across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Finland, Oman, Ireland, and Bahrain.

Its service offering spans the full remarketing lifecycle, including title processing, transportation, vehicle inspection, and dealer support tools.
Beyond its core auction business, Copart operates consumer-facing vehicle-purchase brands (BluCar and the CashForCars family of sites) and Copart Recycling, which sells parts from salvaged and end-of-life vehicles. The company also offers Copart 360, an imaging technology that captures 360-degree views of vehicles, and IntelliSeller, a data-driven decision tool for sellers. Through its 2023 acquisition of Purple Wave, Copart extends into no-reserve online auctions for construction, agriculture, and fleet equipment, and it separately remarkets wholesale powersport vehicles.
Copart is classified within the Industrials sector under the Diversified Support Services sub-industry, reflecting its asset-light, technology-driven service model. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and incorporated in 1982, the company has grown into a large-cap industrial with a market capitalization of roughly $25.5 billion.
