Copart, Inc. operates an online auction and vehicle remarketing platform serving sellers and buyers of used, salvage, and end-of-life vehicles. The company operates across more than ten countries, including 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 workflow: vehicle pickup and transportation, inspection, title processing, salvage estimation, dealer and lender services, and online bidding through its virtual auction platform. The company sells primarily to licensed dismantlers, rebuilders, repair facilities, used vehicle dealers, and exporters, and also to retail buyers.
Beyond its core auto remarketing business, Copart has expanded through several brands and services. These include regional cash-for-cars consumer sites (BluCar, CashForCars.com, CashForCars.ca, CashForCars.de, CashForCars.co.uk, and Cash-for-cars.ie), a parts retail platform (Copart Recycling), and technology tools such as Copart 360 for vehicle imaging and IntelliSeller for data-driven auction decisions. It also owns Purple Wave, which conducts no-reserve online auctions for construction, agriculture, and fleet equipment. Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Copart belongs to the Diversified Support Services sub-industry within the Industrials sector. Vehicle remarketing operates on an asset-light online marketplace model, generating revenue largely through buyer and seller fees on each transaction rather than from owning or holding inventory.
