Car dealers who buy at Copart and IAAI auctions face the same challenge: the best lots disappear within minutes. Manual monitoring means constantly refreshing pages and missing deals. Automation solves this.
Case study: car dealer
A client importing cars from American auctions needed to be the first to see new lots matching their specific criteria: make, model, year, damage type, mileage, and location.

How the monitoring bot works
- Set your filters — make, model, year range, damage types you accept, mileage range, starting price, location (auction state).
- The bot checks Copart and IAAI every minute — comparing new lots against your filters.
- Match found → Telegram notification — you receive a Telegram message with the lot photo, main specs, current bid, and a direct link to the auction page.
- Deduplication — the same lot won't appear twice even if it's updated on the auction side.
- Multiple filter profiles — one dealer can monitor several car types simultaneously with different notification criteria.
Photo in the notification: the first auction photo is embedded directly in the Telegram message. You can assess the damage visually without opening the auction website.
Customizable filters
- Brand, model, year (from/to)
- Damage type (front, rear, rollover, hail, flood, etc.)
- Odometer range
- Starting bid range
- Auction location (state)
- Fuel type, transmission
- Keywords in lot title (e.g. "no keys", "run and drive")
Works around the clock
American auctions add lots at all hours. The bot never sleeps — you get notified as soon as something matching appears, whether it's 3am or noon local time.
