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?"
Copart's success has earned us a place on Forbes "200 Best Small Companies" list nine years in a row. Copart was also featured on the television show, World's Best as "The World's Best Remarketing Company."
