    I was involved in an accident that totalled my car because I was rear ended on the freeway. Mind you, there is damage to the bumper because of that, but the back windshield was not busted, their people did that! I went to the yard assigned through my insurance, which was Copart Auto Auction located at 7519 Woodman Ave. Van Nuys, California 91405 1509 My car was delivered to them around May 24th. I called ahead to let them know I will be coming in to get the remainder of the stuff out of my car. I came in on May 31st. I already felt upset knowing my car was at a yard along with other junk cars where I felt like it didn't belong because it meant so much to me. It was my first car I purchased. I was waiting for what felt like 30 minutes in an office filled with at least 10 people busy on their computers ignoring people with no hello or welcome greeting at all. To top it off, I only had 2 people in front of me. When I was finally noticed, a lady named G was playing stupid about my car not being there or them not being able to find it. Luckily, I have a low jack on my car and was able to show her that it was indeed there. Down to the exact date, and time it arrived, and where exactly on the lot it was located. Her demeanor quickly changed and she got scared and panicked when she found out I could track it. When they finally located it and brought it around for me to see. To my horror, it had been vandalized, the back windshield shattered with some glass inside the trunk, and some of my property was stolen. They took my tools, stole the spare tire, tire rod, ripped out my trunk subwoofer, and destroyed all of my custom seat covers. I just wish I had a camera to catch who did it, but then again, those greedy rogues would have stolen that as well! I am already in the process of trying to heal my physical wounds, but now thanks to this trash company and the people that run it compounding my pain, I have emotional wounds as well. Going back to the lady at the front desk that goes by "G". She was so cold hearted. When I told her what I had just saw from my car, she was very nonchalant about it. When I was trying to gather what little property I could salvage, she had the nerve to ask me do I know what type of car I want to get next, like my current one didn't mean anything to me. I put my blood, sweat, in tears into maintaining my car and making sure I stay on top of the payments, all without any help from anyone. When I asked her, is this how you guys treat people's property, she didn't say anything, but give me a blank soulless stare. I hope whoever reads this knows that what I am saying to be the truth and that you do not support this terribly run business. I hope these numerous complaints will give them a wake up call. If everyone cares to check, look up Copart on the BBB website, their headquarters is in Dallas, 14185 Dallas Parkway Suite 400 Dallas, TX 75254 they are NOT an accredited business. Their rating is very low on there as well to the point where they have so many complaints Better Business Bureau can't show them all. To the owner or whoever responds to these complaints, don't bother giving me the same generic response you give to all the other people that complain on here. You can keep your two cent opinion because you probably need it, just like your people kept my tools and subwoofer, which one of them probably installed in their car because their sound system is trash just like your company and the people that work there. My car on their garbage website. https://www.copart.com/lot/46480222/2018-ford-focus-titanium-ca-van-nuys

    Lately been having really bad experiences at Copart Van Nuys, they work by appointment. The biggest frustration is that I had an appointment to pick up cars at 9am and they didn't bring my cars out till 2pm. This is a recurring problem. Myself and many other transporters been having the same issues. This issue has been brought up to Copart management and no one seems to care.

    We had to snag our plates and a few items from our beloved, recently-totaled Toyota Prius. We found ourselves here because our insurance company, USAA, totaled the car car and delivered it to Copart. When we arrived, there was a QR code on a sign available to register to queue. Mask and distancing is still in effect. In addition to individuals in queue, there are workers/loaders/service personnel also interacting with the staff. They appear to have a small amount of staff on the floor, but they appeared to work efficiently. It was about 10 minutes from QR Code to Front Desk. It was 20 minutes before the car was moved and ready for us to access it. Note that you have to wear a bright yellow safety vest to access the vehicle. Great that we also were able to drop the title off here! We had as much time as we needed to get our items out of the car. Overall, it was a great experience with friendly service.

    Their system is stupid as hell. Why do I have to wait 22 minutes to pay for car if there is nobody else in line waiting. Just buy cars from the IAA

    this place should not even get one star. they scammed me for $20,000 for a complete wrecked vehicle. after I got the vehicle and checked it out it was all put together with drywall screws to look like a real car. someone make this car look like something from a movie set. it looks nice from outside but nothing inside. miscellaneous parts put together to make it look like if all part in it. Copart sold this vehicle as a run and drive! this place will scam you out of your money be careful do not deal with them. everybody working in the office are like one big Mafia to take your money stay away

    Obviously no one is gonna have their car towed then give the place an amazing review. So this…read morereview is regarding my first time picking up a truck i bought at an auction. Izzy I'm pretty sure was the girl who helped me at the front desk, and i really have to applaud her patience. I saw a car i liked and had to have it, without doing as much research and preparation as i should have. I swear I wouldn't hold it against her if she just stopped helping me and told me to leave that day. I came in to swoop da whip at the very last minute before their lunch break (had to wait for a ride) - with not enough money (didn't realize i needed more than what i bid) - with a debit card that had a daily limit on what I could spend (straight up didn't know) - with a DEAD cell phone on me (no excuse ‍) so i couldnt even call the bank- and a few other things I'm sure. At one point i gave up and was gonna leave and come back another day, but she stayed past the time she was supposed to, and helped me think of ways that i can solve the issues i was dealing with. Mostly with the help of my buddy that drove me there. Even he commented to me that the lady behind the desk was being way nicer than most front desk attendants at a tow yard are notoriously known to be. She even called the guy that u pick up the car from across the street and told him we were coming since he too was going on his lunch break. When we got there he was already pulling up in my truck, otherwise i would have had to wait at least an hour for him to get back. So thank u Izzy! Shoutout from Don too.

    1 Star - Stay away from this dealership…read more I had an extremely disturbing and unacceptable experience with this dealer. I was sold a vehicle with a damaged engine. Although the dealer claimed the engine was repaired, the car continues to have serious mechanical problems. During the supposed month and a half of repairs, I was given two loaner vehicles, both of which were also unsafe and unreliable. I repeatedly communicated this, and it was completely ignored. What made this situation far worse was the unprofessional and abusive behavior from the dealer. When I tried to stand up for my rights, I was insulted and yelled at in front of my children, which was humiliating and unacceptable. Even more disturbing, one of the mechanics I was sent to by this dealer made an inappropriate and offensive sexual proposition to me. This crossed every possible line and made an already stressful situation feel unsafe. This dealership shows no accountability, no professionalism, and no respect for customers. My car has been problematic since the day I bought it, and dealing with them has only added emotional distress on top of financial loss. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this place. No one deserves this kind of treatment.

    total scam they sell you lemons here break down on you after leaving the parking lot. they claim…read morethey in house finance you but never report your payments to the credit bureau. 21% apr on used cars is crazy. avoid this situation by any means necessary they are affiliated with jalisco super mufflers if your car breaks down they send you their to get it fix supposedly.
