    I saw Copart bounce one off the loader forks and nosedive the car into the gravel. He picked it back up and headed for the parking lot. When I left, it was loaded on a hot shot trailer and going to the unsuspecting new owner. Sorry they did you dirty. When you hear the name COPART, you don’t associate it with honesty or integrity. Great save on that door. I’m excited to see the bedside tutorial.

      Those loader drivers are Wildcats! I don’t know how they don’t destroy more than they do. Customer Service is terrible, licensing division is somewhere in outer space but that’s a whole other discussion. It only took a couple of days to fix the door and rocker but it was a good amount of work. Thanks for watching

    Copart - Pittsburgh West in West Mifflin Pa., did my buddy wrong. He bids on motorcycles and rebuilds them. 4 of us went and looked over a Harley on their lot. All of us are experienced Harley mechanics. With exception of the obvious damage, the bike was mint. Under 2,000 miles. He won the bid. When we saw the fork lift bringing it out it was laying on the back of the forks. Gas tank damaged, seat damaged/ripped and once on the trailer a severe oil leak. We walked back to where it was sitting and no oil. The case was cracked, no question the fork lift caused it. He went ballistic in the Copart office. They took the bike back, but there were fees and it cost him a good bit of money, not sure how much. Where the bike was sitting we could have pulled right up to it with the trailer and loaded it. We try to buy bikes from smaller salvage yards like Norm's Cycle Salvage in Pittsburgh. At least they care about the customer.

      That is terrible, those loaders are like honey bees buzzing around. Copart offered to buy it back but we didn’t get into how much that would cost. They definitely don’t make it easy to so business with and their customer service could be a little more customer oriented. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Enjoy your videos, I washed my hands with copart and their fees. Rebuilt a dozen vehicles or so and with all their fees that go up by the day, it's almost as cheap to buy clean title ones in some instances. They don't want people to preview vehicles and it's never their fault at any time for anything.

    • @OrangeWiresGarage
      @OrangeWiresGarage  25 дней назад

      The fees are ridiculous $1360 for this truck. Funny story when the Copart driver delivered he truck he didn’t bring the title, so guess what another $20 to mail it. SMH

    They did me darty acouple of time and ones the cars are pulled or took from the parking lot. It’s a wrap and even then they didn’t want to take care of it. I’ve had cars swiped just like yours tanks punctured from forklifts, fuses missing the next day after seeing the vehicle in person.

    The fact they offered to take the truck back is nice but that doesn’t change the time you wasted and your delivery fees. They definitely did you wrong no matter which way you look at it.

You have a business budget to watch out for and copart sticking it to you. Hey, I just had a idea. Look into buying a parts Tacoma or Tacoma's and see if that will help you guys out. Like a flooded one, fresh water ones with good bodies.

    The loader may be an independent contractor for copart. That would explain their independent fees. Copart itself is not going to do anything for you unless you force them to. This will take legal action against copart and the loader. Your attorney fees will cost you more than fixing the truck yourself and they know it.
