Copart Inc. helps sell so-called salvage vehicles over the Internet—those vehicles damaged beyond repair or recovered from thieves. Founded in 1982, the company offers its virtual bidding auction-style sales technology to vehicle suppliers, chiefly insurance companies, which in turn sell to licensed dismantlers, rebuilders, repair shops, used vehicle dealers, and exporters. Copart’s revenues come from sales fees as well as fees on such services as towing and storage. Based in Fairfield, Calif., it has 122 storage locations in the U.S. and Canada and can serve other locations through its network of independent salvage vehicle processors.
