Salvage Yards at Copart Auto Auctions

AutoBidMaster members are welcome to visit Copart salvage yards in the US, particularly in MI - Wayland or Canada. We also encourage all customers to inspect a salvage car before purchase. The examination of repairable autos is available until one hour before the car auction. If you cannot visit the Copart junk yards yourself, you can order a salvage auto inspection in MI - Wayland from the lot page. 

This service will generate a report that includes images of the salvage car and relevant details such as engine running condition, state of suspension components, electrical component functionality, and vehicle exterior and interior damage. The inspection of our repairable autos from salvage yards in MI - Wayland must be ordered at least three days before the car auction ends.

The Bakersfield Car Auction Process 

Before bidding on our Copart Bakersfield CA auctions, it’s important to understand how car auctions work so you can plan well. Here are some things to know about the car auction process: 

• Registration — You'll need to register with our online platform before participating in our auction. Our registration process involves creating an account and providing ID verification. We offer Basic, Advanced, and Premium tiers.
• Viewing Inventory — You can use our search tool to browse our inventory by vehicle type, damage type, popular makes, and ownership types — such as salvage titles and clean title vehicles.
• Bidding — Auctions are online and typically held Monday to Friday. You can place manual bids or set maximum bids (proxy bids). Ensure to note the ending time for auctions you're interested in.
• Buyer Fees — You may incur fees that vary depending on your membership level and the vehicle location. These fees usually include a buyer's premium, processing charges, and title fees.
• Payment — Successful bidders must pay for their vehicles within 24 to 48 hours of the auction's conclusion. 
• As-Is Condition — Vehicles are sold "as-is" on AutoBidMaster. This means you are buying the car in its current condition, with all its faults.

Where Do We Get Our Cars?

The source of a vehicle helps you understand its history and condition. For example, a fleet vehicle might have been regularly maintained and serviced, while a salvage vehicle may have undergone significant damage. 

We source our cars from different places, such as: 

• Repossessions — Financial institutions, such as banks, may repossess vehicles from borrowers who have defaulted on their loans. These repossessed vehicles are often sold by auction auto dealers to recover some of the outstanding debt. 
• Off-Lease Vehicles — Vehicles leased and returned to the leasing company may end up at our auction locations. 
• Salvage and Insurance Vehicles — We also offer salvage vehicles such as theft recovery cars and vehicles damaged in accidents. You can explore these cars if you’re interested in restoration.

Junk Cars Body Types

Our salvage car auctions offer various body types. Some popular options include: 

• Sedans — Sedans are some of the most common repairable vehicles available at our salvage auctions. They have four doors and offer seating for four to five passengers. 
• SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) — SUVs offer large cargo space, seating for multiple passengers, and, often, all-wheel drive capabilities. 
• Trucks — We offer pickup trucks if you’re looking for a powerful vehicle for towing and hauling. 
• Coupes — You can browse our sleek and sporty coupes featuring two doors and a more compact size than sedans. 
• Convertibles — Our salvage convertibles are popular for enthusiasts seeking a fun and exhilarating ride.
• Hatchbacks — Hatchbacks combine the practicality of a sedan with the versatility of a larger cargo area. 
• Vans — Vans are ideal for families and businesses like rental companies. We have passenger vans, cargo vans, and minivans. 

We also offer construction and farming equipment as well as industrial machinery. 

Creative Upcycling Ideas for Junk Car Parts

Even the most damaged cars can offer exciting opportunities with the right tools. Auto salvage yards provide valuable materials you can repurpose to create something special long after the car's useful life. 

Here are some creative ideas: 

• Custom Furniture — Turn salvaged car seats into stylish chairs or benches for your home or workshop. These can add a clean automotive aesthetic to your favorite room. 
• Garden Planters — Transform wheels and rims into functional planters for your garden or balcony. You can also repaint old hubcaps and repurpose them into wall art. 
• Industrial Lighting Fixtures — Create your steampunk theme with salvage headlights for a minimalist industrial look. 
• Outdoor Play Sets — Turn an old steering wheel into a spinning toy or repurpose a car door into a playhouse entrance.
