What an asinine company to do business with! My car was in a collision and was eventually towed to Copart by the other driver's insurance company, Mendota (to save money on storage fees while waiting for the claims adjuster). Copart removed the license plates from my car and did not reattach them, nor did they give the plates to the tow driver taking my car to the body shop. When I asked the woman at Copart why they removed the plates, I was told "we have to remove everything to take photos of the vehicle". Really??? I called Copart to advise my daughter would be picking up the plates and asked if they would be ready by a certain time. The woman I spoke with was very evasive, stating she didn't work in the yard and basically had no idea where the plates were and that someone would have to find them; but apparently not her. What a poorly ran company. If it's Copart's policy to remove car tags, they should be responsible enough to ensure the plates are reattached or at the very least, give them to the person or driver picking up the vehicle.
