DALLAS -

Global online vehicle auction company Copart has announced the expansion of its Houston location.

“For Copart, the saying of ‘everything is bigger in Texas’ rings true for us, especially this year. Expanding our Houston location is just one of many indications of our growth in this great state,” chief executive officer Jay Adair said in a news release.

“We have been headquartered in Dallas since 2012, and just this year, we have acquired two new locations in Texas, expanded our Fort Worth location, and we launched the first-ever retail-auction-entertainment venue featuring hundreds of powersports with CrashedToys of Dallas,” he continued.

Copart recently acquired locations in Temple and Wilmer, expanding the total number of Texas sites to 14. Among Copart’s Texas locations is CrashedToys of Dallas, which opened in April and specializes in used and repairable powersport vehicles.

Copart's Houston location at 1655 Rankin Road hosts online auctions every Tuesday and Friday at noon. The Houston location encourages people to stop by, meet the team and preview the vehicles in person. Copart’s online auctions are not limited to auto sales; inventory includes a wide selection of boats, RVs, ATVs, tractor trailers and motorcycles.

 “We have been in the Houston community since 1993, and I recently spent some time in Houston when our Catastrophe Response Team worked to help the community recover from the floods,” said Sean Eldridge, Copart’s chief operating officer. “It is a strong community, and we enjoy being a part of it. We look forward to our continued involvement.”
