Carvana Brings Inspection and Reconditioning Center Capabilities to ADESA Long Island.
Located in Yaphank, New York, ADESA Long Island has served wholesale customers for more than 20 years. The approximately 50-acre site includes over 3,000 parking spaces and offers significant infrastructure to support IRC operations alongside ongoing wholesale auctions. Carvana has already begun hiring local team members and expects the integration to create about 100 new jobs in inspection, reconditioning, and vehicle fulfillment over time.
"Integrating IRC capabilities at ADESA Long Island helps us continue to drive a faster, more convenient car buying experience as we enable more capacity and efficiency in the Carvana network," said Brian Boyd, Senior Vice President of Inventory at Carvana. "We look forward to bringing more speed and selection to our local retail customers while strengthening our wholesale auction platform for commercial partners throughout the region."
The announcement builds on Carvana's growing footprint in New York, following the 2023 debut of its iconic Car Vending Machine in Garden City. The integration will establish a new pool of retail inventory in the area, providing a greater selection of vehicles that can be delivered as soon as the next day. Wholesale buyers will benefit from enhanced on-site inspection and reconditioning capabilities and 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.
