Copart also sells vehicles for franchised, independent and wholesale auto traders as well as the general public.

We utilize a US website to remarket vehicles in North America.

Copart was founded in 1982 by CEO Willis J. Johnson, a true American success story. Johnson grew up learning about business from his father - an entrepreneur who dabbled in everything from dairy farming to running restaurants and building houses. Johnson took that entrepreneurial spirit, along with a strong work ethic and a passion for change, and 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 across the United States. The development of VB2 transformed Copart from a salvage vehicle auction company into a technology company offering a global remarketing platform that links buyers and sellers around the world.

Johnson's vision has helped Copart tear down barriers that make it difficult or time-consuming to sell or buy cars. Copart is also dedicated to something called "legendary service" - service that leaves our customers going "WOW! How did they do that?"
