What does FRONT END mean?

Front end damage

The main damage is at the front of the car.

What it means

FRONT END is the most common damage code at Copart. It covers anything from a cracked bumper to a crushed engine bay. Front hits often reach the radiator, headlights, airbags and, in harder crashes, the engine mounts, suspension and frame rails.

What it means for a buyer

Look at the photos for deployed airbags, fluid leaks and the gap between the hood and the fenders. Airbags, sensors and cooling parts add up fast. Compare the repair cost estimate with the car's value.
