Copart Rebuild Example — What Needed Reset vs Replace (Real Breakdown)

Example from a typical front-end collision rebuild:

Vehicle: 2018 Toyota Camry

1. Front airbags deployed

2. Driver + passenger belts locked

3. Airbag light on

Dealer replacement path

New airbag module

2–4 new seat belts

Programming

New airbags

That can easily push SRS cost into the thousands.

Typical smarter rebuild path

Replace airbags

Reset airbag control module

Rebuild affected seat belts

Replace pyro fuse if needed

Big difference in total cost.

Understanding what actually needs replacement vs what can be reset makes or breaks profit.
