Why Ship from This Location with AutoMove?
Getting your vehicle off the Copart Wheeling lot is easy with AutoMove.

All you need to provide is your buyer information, lot number, and destination address.
Vehicles leaving the Copart Wheeling yard reach I-94 in about 3 miles, with I-90 roughly 6 miles out and I-88 roughly 16 miles out. Those are the corridors a car hauler actually runs to reach this gate, and the yard sits northwest of Chicago.
Every shipment originating from Copart Wheeling travels under the assigned carrier's cargo insurance, which we confirm before dispatch, protecting your investment from the moment it's loaded until it arrives at your destination. Choose from open-air transport for cost-effective standard shipping, or enclosed trailers for maximum protection on specialty and luxury vehicles. Our door-to-door service means your car arrives directly at the address you specify — no terminal stops or extra fees.
Booking a pickup here
Carriers can only load while the gate is open, so a truck arriving after closing waits until the next business day — that is why we book a pickup window rather than just a date. Sales run weekly on Monday, and the days straight afterwards are the busiest for gate releases, so it pays to have a carrier booked before then. If you have won vehicles at more than one yard in this area, say so on the quote: putting them on a single carrier is normally cheaper than booking separate pickups.
How far is Copart Wheeling from major cities?
Driving distances from this yard: Chicago 24 mi (39 min), Elgin 28 mi (43 min), Naperville 38 mi (56 min), Aurora 44 mi (1 hr 3 min). Larger metros: Milwaukee 71 mi (1 hr 27 min), Madison 128 mi (2 hr 43 min), Fort Wayne 185 mi (4 hr 9 min). Mileage is measured on the road network, not in a straight line, and the times shown are typical car drive times. A loaded carrier runs slower and works to a pickup window, so plan on 1-2 days of transit to those metros once a truck is dispatched.
