30 years experience in the salvage market, revolutionising online bidding and buying

Copart entered the UK salvage market back in 2007 with the acquisition of just a handful of Operations Centres. Today, we have 15 Operations Centres in the UK and over 200 locations globally, which has in recent years expanded into countries such as Finland, Spain, and Germany.

Technology is at the heart of all that we do. Understanding our buyers and sellers through data analysis allows us to offer the best possible online experience is key to our success. We have used technology and data to drive our business forward and to keep up with current technologies, offering a second to none online experience.

How has Copart revolutionised the Salvage Market?

In 1998 - Copart Inc became the first vehicle auction company in the world with physical locations to allow buyers to submit proxy bids over the Internet.

In 2001 - Copart introduced virtual bidding, allowing Members to interactively compete online, in real-time, within our live auctions.

In 2003 - Copart developed VB2, Virtual Bidding - The Second Generation, a new auction-style remarketing technology coupling an open preliminary bidding process with live, online vehicle sales. Using preliminary bidding, Members can enter the maximum price they are willing to pay for a vehicle and Copart's Bid4U (Bid for You) feature incrementally bids for the vehicle on their behalf. Members who are outbid receive an email notification and are provided with the opportunity to re-bid on the vehicle.

In 2013 - Copart has revolutionised the automotive industry with its new auction platform, Virtual Bidding  The Third Generation (VB3). With VB3, buyers around the world have three great ways to join our auctions: mobile phone, portable tablet and online.

In 2019 - Copart added several enhancements to our industry-leading VB3 auction. We made changes to our auction introducing gamification, driving customer engagement and bidder activity. We also expanded our preliminary bidding period so that Members can pre-bid on Lots that are two units away from being the Lot on the block in the live auction. 

What’s more, our VB3 auction technology is patented meaning that no one else in the world can have an online auction quite like ours. More information about our auction technology can be found on the How Our Auction Works page.
