Physical address for TX‑McAllen yard is 301 Mile 1 East, Mercedes, TX 78570, although the auction name is “McAllen.” The location page also provides phone and fax numbers and lane description. Copart emphasizes two apps with distinct roles: 1) Copart Mobile App (for buyers to search, bid, pay, manage account, and join auctions); 2) Copart Transportation App (for transporters and for members who plan to self‑pick up vehicles—used to schedule appointments, check in, and obtain paperless gate passes). Visitor Sign‑In is available via web QR at the gate and inside both apps. Payment options include electronic and cash agent methods (MoneyGram/Western Union). Card payments cannot be made by phone. Some fee values (e.g., Environmental Fee) may differ among pages; rely on the active fee schedule page for your buyer type (Non‑Licensed vs Licensed) and on the yard’s location page for storage rates.
