Addition of Carvana Inspection and Reconditioning Capabilities to ADESA Auction Site Enables Efficient Growth and Enhances Local Retail and Commercial Customer Experience

Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA), an industry pioneer for buying and selling used cars online, today announced its second auction and reconditioning ‘Megasite’ integration in Houston. With this transition, Carvana will establish Inspection and Reconditioning Center (IRC) capabilities at its existing ADESA Houston 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.

Houston is the second of ADESA’s wholesale auction locations to become a Carvana auction-IRC Megasite. Carvana has already begun hiring new IRC associates at this facility and expects the Megasite transition to create approximately 200 new entry-level and skilled jobs in the area over time.

"In bringing IRC capabilities to ADESA Houston, Carvana is leveraging the power of our existing infrastructure to enhance our services for both our retail and commercial customers,” said Brian Boyd, Carvana’s Senior Vice President of Inventory. “The Megasite transition not only unlocks additional reconditioning capacity and network efficiency for Carvana as a whole, but also specifically benefits the Houston area with faster delivery times for local retail customers, a more robust auction offering for local commercial customers, and new jobs and training opportunities.”

ADESA Houston, located on the Northwest corner of Beltway 8, has served thousands of local automotive customers for nearly 30 years. Covering approximately 43 acres and over 5,000 parking spaces, the site has ample space to accommodate Carvana inspection and reconditioning activities while maintaining all existing online and in-lane wholesale auction operations.

Adding IRC capabilities to ADESA Houston increases Carvana’s total reconditioning capacity, which improves selection for all customers. By creating a pool of retail inventory in a new metropolitan area, it also makes Carvana’s reconditioning and fulfillment network more efficient and gives local retail customers access to more vehicles that can be delivered as soon as the same or the next day.

ADESA Houston’s efficient transition to an auction-IRC Megasite will be enabled by the site’s significant existing footprint and infrastructure as well as by its adoption of Carvana’s proprietary CARLI software, which enables efficiency, scalability, and consistency across Carvana’s IRC network.
