Global online vehicle auction company Copart has announced the opening of Copart Denver Central, the company’s third location in Colorado and its second in the Denver area.

“In May, we announced the opening of and first auction at our new Colorado Springs location, then we expanded our original Denver area location, and now we are pleased to announce the opening and online auctions at our second location that will serve the Denver area,” said Jay Adair, chief executive officer. “We are excited to further accommodate our growth in the online auction space with this new location.”

Copart’s Colorado facilities are located in Brighton, Colorado Springs, and now in Denver at 6464 Downing St. Online auctions for the Denver, Brighton and Colorado Springs facilities will be at noon (CT) on Thursdays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, respectively. Copart’s online auctions take place at www.copart.com.

“Not only do we strive to provide an unmatched experience, but we are always looking to contribute to the safety and quality of life of our local communities,” said Sean Eldridge, chief operating officer. “Recently, we deployed our catastrophe response team to Colorado Springs to provide support to the areas affected by the recent hail storms.”

Copart’s catastrophe response team is made up of an elite group of personnel who are ready to respond to weather-related catastrophes on short notice. Within 48 hours after severe hail storms hit Colorado Springs, the team began helping impacted communities recover by removing damaged vehicles. The hail storms produced enough damage that insurance companies declared it a catastrophic weather event.

As a partner to local communities, Copart offers local law enforcement, fire departments and other agencies a safe training environment. Copart locations are often used by law enforcement agencies as a controlled environment to train K-9 units to track narcotics and explosive devices.

“We are excited about the additional opportunities we can provide with our new location, not only for our Denver members but also the community,” Eldridge said. “Our work with the Brighton Fire Department is a key example of the way our team is dedicated to building strong relationships within the communities we serve.”
