Free UK Salvage Tool
Free Copart Repair Cost Calculator UK
RepairIQ turns any Copart UK lot into a profit decision in under a minute. Enter the vehicle, damage category and your target resale, and it returns an estimated repair cost range, a safe maximum bid (net of Copart buyer fees), a profit estimate and a risk score — so you bid with confidence instead of guessing. Built for UK salvage buyers, traders and flippers.
Every calculation blends damage-category logic, mileage-adjusted labour rates and the current Copart UK buyer-fee schedule, so the max bid you see reflects the true all-in cost of the lot rather than the hammer price alone. Compare Cat S and Cat N lots, adjust your labour rate and target margin, and run as many estimates as you like before the auction closes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are RepairIQ repair cost estimates for Copart cars?
RepairIQ combines damage-category logic, mileage-adjusted labour rates, live Copart fee schedules and UK parts pricing data to produce a low–high repair range and a safe max bid. Estimates are indicative and based on industry averages — always obtain an independent repair quote before bidding, but RepairIQ gives you a data-backed starting point in under 60 seconds.
What Copart fees and buyer premiums does the calculator include?
RepairIQ factors in Copart UK buyer fees, the virtual bid deposit threshold, gate fees, VAT and collection/delivery costs based on your buyer type (registered trader, member or premier member). The fee schedule is built into the max-bid calculation so your profit estimate is net of all auction costs — not just the hammer price.
What is the difference between Cat S and Cat N for Copart buyers?
Cat S means structural damage has occurred and the vehicle must be professionally repaired before it can return to the road — higher repair cost but often higher profit. Cat N means non-structural damage (cosmetic, panel or electronic) with no structural repair required — typically cheaper and faster to repair. RepairIQ automatically applies the correct repair-cost logic and risk weighting for each category.
