Carvana Brings Inspection and Reconditioning Center Capabilities to ADESA Nashville

Site now supports same-day delivery for retail customers in the greater Nashville area

Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA), an industry pioneer for buying and selling used cars online, today announced plans to bring Inspection and Reconditioning Center (IRC) capabilities to ADESA Nashville. The move will expand Carvana's overall production capacity while creating a new pool of retail inventory that unlocks faster delivery options, including same-day delivery, for retail customers in the greater Nashville area. ADESA Nashville will also continue to support wholesale customers in the area, now with even more robust reconditioning infrastructure and a growing suite of digital auction offerings, including ADESA Simulcast and ADESA Clear.

Located in Old Hickory, Tenn., ADESA Nashville has served local wholesale auto auction customers for more than two decades. The site’s approximately 50 acres will now support both Carvana IRC operations and ADESA digital wholesale auction services. Carvana has already begun hiring new team members to support inspection, reconditioning and fulfillment activities and expects to create approximately 100 new entry-level and skilled jobs at this location over time.

"Carvana and ADESA have deep roots in Nashville, and we’re excited to keep building our team and presence here," said Brian Boyd, senior vice president of inventory at Carvana. “Bringing Carvana IRC capabilities to ADESA Nashville will enhance selection and delivery speed for local retail customers, strengthen our digital auction offering for wholesale customers in the region, and create new job opportunities for both entry-level and skilled professionals in the community.”

With IRC capabilities at the ADESA Nashville location, Carvana is expanding its total reconditioning capacity and establishing a new pool of retail inventory that further optimizes the company’s reconditioning and fulfillment network. As a result, Nashville-area retail customers will now have access to a wider selection of vehicles with delivery options as soon as the same day.

Carvana is able to ramp up IRC operations efficiently at ADESA Nashville given the site’s significant existing footprint and infrastructure, and with the support of Carvana’s proprietary CARLI software, which drives efficiency, scalability, and consistency across its IRC network.
