Pick up a wheelbarrow (provided free of charge for you to borrow) and get ready to get out into our yards!

Remember, whilst we do provide the wheelbarrows, you’ll need to bring your own tools.

Never been to a breaker’s yard before? Here are the essential tools you should bring to make the most from your visit.

Spanners: These help in loosening and tightening nuts and bolts, essential for removing various car parts securely.

Screwdrivers: Used for removing screws, which are commonly found in different components of a vehicle, such as interior panels or engine parts.

Pliers: Useful for gripping, bending, or cutting materials, assisting in extracting smaller components or handling wires.

Socket Set: Essential for bolt removal, particularly for parts that may be tightly secured, like engine components or wheels.

Crowbar/Pry Bar: Helps in prying apart parts or components that might be tightly fitted, like interior panels or certain engine elements.

Hammer: Useful for gently tapping or knocking parts to loosen them or separate components without causing damage.

Power tools and jacks, however, aren’t permitted in our yard for safety reasons. So please leave these at home!

High visibility jackets are available for purchase on arrival or for free if you become a U-Pull-It member, but you can also bring your own! You’ll need one to enter the yard and start pulling parts.

Increment bidding allows Copart to increase your entered bid by one and only one increment in the event your entered bid is tied by a live virtual bidder. If your bid is the highest bid, then your bid will NOT be incremented. Our increments are based on the following table:

Bid Range £Increment £
0 – 101
10 – 505
50 – 10010
100 – 1,00025
1,000 – 5,00050
5,000 – 25,000100
25,000 – 9,940,000250
9,940,000 – 9,999,999.991000

Example 1: You checked the increment bid box and bid £ 15,000. Live auction bid is currently at £ 15,000 (a tie with your bid – unfortunately, it happens). Your internet bid is placed next at £ 15,100 (because you checked the increment bid box). The car sells to you at no more than £ 15,100 or to live auction bidder for £ 15,200 or more.
