Addition of Carvana Inspection and
Reconditioning Capabilities to ADESA Auction Site Enables Efficient
Growth and Enhances Local Retail and Commercial Customer
Experience
Carvana, an industry pioneer for buying and selling used cars
online, today announced the development of its first auction and
reconditioning ‘Megasite’ in Kansas City. With this transition,
Carvana will establish inspection and reconditioning center (IRC)
capabilities at its existing ADESA Kansas City wholesale auction
site while maintaining all digital and in-lane auction operations.
This location will anchor the growth of Carvana’s retail and
wholesale operations in the area and enhance the company’s offering
for retail and commercial customers.

“The Carvana-ADESA combination has already played an important
role in making our retail and wholesale operations more efficient
and effective. As Carvana transitions to its long-term phase of
driving profitable growth, we are excited to further tap into the
power of our infrastructure by bringing inspection and
reconditioning capabilities to more ADESA sites,” said Brian Boyd,
Carvana Senior Vice President of Inventory. “Integrating Carvana
reconditioning with ADESA’s existing wholesale auction at the
Kansas City ‘Megasite’ will offer greater selection and faster
delivery speeds for local retail customers, enhance our auction
offering for local commercial customers, and expand our footprint
as an employer in the region by creating new jobs and training
opportunities.”
Adding IRC capabilities to ADESA Kansas City increases Carvana’s
total reconditioning capacity, which improves selection for all
customers. It also creates a pool of retail inventory in a new
metropolitan area, making Carvana’s reconditioning and fulfillment
network more efficient and giving local buyers access to vehicles
that can be delivered as soon as the same or the next day.
Wholesale customers will continue to enjoy full in-lane and online
auction functionality and will now benefit from even more robust
reconditioning operations on site.
In becoming an auction-IRC Megasite, the Kansas City location
will also implement Carvana’s proprietary CARLI software, a
comprehensive suite of systems and processes that supports the full
reconditioning lifecycle and leads to greater efficiency,
scalability, and consistency across Carvana’s IRC network.
ADESA Kansas City, located in Belton, MO, has served thousands
of local automotive customers for nearly 25 years. Kansas City is
the first of the 56 ADESA wholesale auction locations to become an
auction-IRC Megasite. Carvana has already begun hiring new
associates at this facility and expects the Megasite transition to
create about 200 new entry level and skilled manufacturing jobs in
the area as the site expands in the coming years.
