Copart to open new 25-acre Dunfermline site this year

Copart has confirmed that its operation centre in Dunfermline, Fife is set to open by the end of the year.

Works are underway at the 25-acre site at the Pitreavie Business Park in Dunfermline, which is located 15 miles to the north of Edinburgh and is easily accessible from J2 of the M90.

Copart says the operation centre will provide annual storage capacity for around 30,000 vehicles, and alongside the company’s existing sites in East Kilbride and Whitburn, offers the potential for Copart to handle over 100,000 cars per year across Scotland.

Jane Pocock, CEO of Copart UK and Ireland, said the additional storage capacity in Dunfermline “will support increasing demand for EV handling and will enable us to expand the reach of our fast and efficient emergency response services to extreme weather events which can typically affect our customers in Scotland”.

Operating across the UK and Ireland, Copart is an industry leader in used and salvage car auctions. Copart’s exclusive online platform makes it easy for members to search, bid and win the vehicles they are looking for.

From damaged to second-hand, Copart’s extensive inventory of vehicles ensures that members benefit from a variety of choice when bidding, including; cars, commercial vans and motorcycles, to HGVs, plant machinery, agricultural items and more.

Copart will be exhibiting at the 2026 Auto Trade EXPO, which takes place alongside the CV Workshop EXPO from 10th -11th October at the RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin.
