DALLAS –

A new Hartford, Conn., location for Copart marks the second Connecticut site for the global online vehicle auction company.

The location, formerly named Hartford-Springfield Auto Auction, provides capacity for Copart’s continuing volume growth in the region, and it means more convenience for the company’s buyers in the area, Copart chief executive officer Jay Adair said in a news release.

Copart, which describes itself as a “leading innovator in the salvage industry,” said it is proud to bring its business and jobs to one of the oldest cities in the country.

“We are excited to provide our customers with the best service in the industry, made possible by our people, processes and technology,” said general manager Brian Phillips.

Copart hosts online auctions at its Hartford Springfield location every Thursday at 9 a.m. CT, and the next auction is planned for July 18. Eligible buyers, using computers, smartphones and tablets, can bid on current inventory. Or, they can bid via the location’s available kiosks.
