Carvana announced plans to bring Inspection and Reconditioning Center (IRC) capabilities to its existing ADESA Orlando wholesale auction site in Sanford, Florida. The integration adds reconditioning capacity and a new inventory pool to Carvana’s network that builds selection for retail customers nationwide, brings more vehicles eligible for same-day delivery to Central Florida car buyers and provides a more robust offering for local wholesale customers, company officials stated in a press release.
“Bringing IRC capabilities to ADESA Orlando will expand our reconditioning capacity and help us deliver greater selection and faster delivery to customers across Florida,” said Brian Boyd, senior vice president of inventory at Carvana. “We’re excited to grow our local team and enhance our offering for retail and wholesale customers as we bring new capabilities to the site.”
Approximately 100 Jobs Coming to Sanford, Florida
Carvana has already begun hiring local team members to support this move and expects the integration to create about 100 new jobs in inspection, reconditioning and vehicle fulfillment over time.
“Carvana’s continued investment in Sanford is creating new opportunities for Seminole County residents and supporting our local economy,” said Florida Senate President Pro Tempore Jason Brodeur. “The addition of approximately 100 jobs across a range of skill and experience levels builds on the company’s presence in our community and creates more pathways for Floridians to grow their careers.”
Wholesale Auction & Retail Reconditioning Under One Roof
ADESA Orlando has served wholesale auto auction customers for over 30 years. Now the facility will also house the teams and tools for Carvana retail reconditioning and fulfillment. The approximately 65-acre site includes over 3,000 parking spaces and offers significant infrastructure to support IRC operations alongside ongoing wholesale auction activities, the release noted.
The integration will establish a new pool of local retail inventory, giving customers access to a broader selection of vehicles with delivery options available as soon as the same day. Wholesale buyers will benefit from enhanced on-site inspection and reconditioning capabilities, as well as ongoing access to ADESA’s in-lane and digital auction services.
Carvana’s proprietary software platform, CARLI, will power the site’s transition to an IRC-enabled facility, supporting operational efficiency and consistency across its national reconditioning network, the company said.
