Carvana Co. announced plans for an auction and reconditioning ‘Megasite’ in Boston. With this transition, Carvana will establish Inspection and Reconditioning Center (IRC) capabilities at its existing ADESA Boston 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 both retail and wholesale customers.

ADESA Boston is situated near downtown Framingham, a central jumping off point to all parts of the state and the region. The auction site, which has served wholesale customers for decades, covers more than 100 acres and includes over 13,000 parking spaces. 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.

“We’re excited to continue to strengthen our network by bringing Carvana Inspection and Reconditioning Center capabilities to ADESA Boston,” said Brian Boyd, Carvana’s Senior Vice President of Inventory. “This integration will not only grow Carvana’s total reconditioning capacity, but also drive significant benefits for local retail and wholesale customers. With Carvana IRC capabilities on site at ADESA Boston, local retail customers will enjoy car buying options with faster delivery times and local wholesale customers will have access to a more comprehensive auction offering.”

Adding IRC capabilities to ADESA Boston 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. 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.
