Copart Adds New Fla. Locale

Copart Inc., a provider of vehicle salvage disposition services in the United States, announced the opening of its 7th salvage yard in the state of Florida and its 19th in the Southeastern region.

The 21-acre greenfield facility located in Ocala, Florida will reportedly add needed capacity in the northern part of the state, which is currently serviced by yards in Orlando, Jacksonville and Tampa, Florida.

Copart, founded in 1982, provides vehicle suppliers, primarily insurance companies, with a full range of services to process and sell salvage vehicles through auctions, principally to licensed dismantlers, rebuilders and used vehicle dealers.
