Is there a Copart location near me?
Copart has at least one location in almost every state, including Alaska and Hawaii, and we’re expanding every year. Internationally, we have locations in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates.
Find a location near you using this list or the Locations button on our mobile app. The app gives you a list of states and provinces that you can scroll through to view facilities and their sale dates and times.
Although the physical location of a vehicle doesn’t matter to some Members, many Copart buyers prefer to bid on vehicles located within their own geographical region. This makes it easier to preview vehicles in person and to arrange transportation of purchased vehicles.
Tap the Vehicles Nearby button on the mobile app for a list of vehicles in your region. You can also use our online Vehicle Finder to search for vehicles in a specific location, state or province, and zip code.
When and where are the sales?
Our auctions are held Monday through Friday (and some Saturdays), and can be accessed online through the Auctions tab or the Member Dashboard once logged in. You can also attend auctions on the Copart Mobile app by tapping Today’s Auctions. This lets you view live and upcoming auctions.
Each of our locations has been assigned a day of the week for its auction to run. For example, Atlanta North, Georgia, auctions are every Wednesday. On the other hand, Vallejo, California, auctions are every Friday. A few locations have auctions on multiple days each week. View the Auctions Calendar to see all sales for the next six weeks. Auctions of locations in the Eastern Time zone begin at 10 a.m. local time. All other sales start at 12 p.m. local time.
In addition, Members may join one of our four region-specific evening auctions, also called Night Cap Sales, Monday through Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Night Cap sales feature vehicles that didn’t sell earlier that day during either the daytime auctions or the second chance preliminary bidding period. These evening auctions appear on Upcoming Auctions and the Auctions Calendar alongside our other sales, and are denoted by “*NCS.”
