CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), the industry pioneer for buying and selling cars online, today announced plans to bring Inspection and Reconditioning Center (IRC) capabilities to its existing ADESA Chicago wholesale auction site.

Carvana Brings Inspection and Reconditioning Center Capabilities to ADESA Chicago
“Bringing IRC capabilities to ADESA Chicago strengthens the speed and efficiency of our national network while deepening our presence in the Midwest,” said Brian Boyd, Senior Vice President of Inventory at Carvana. “We’re proud to continue growing our local team while improving selection and delivery times for Chicago retail customers and expanding the capabilities we offer our wholesale partners across the region.”
Carvana has already begun hiring local team members and expects the integration to create about 100 new good-paying, skilled, and entry-level jobs in inspection, reconditioning, and vehicle fulfillment over time. These roles require no college degree and come with comprehensive benefits. Local candidates can browse open positions and apply here.
“Carvana’s decision to expand operations in Hoffman Estates is a strong example of the kind of investment that creates jobs and strengthens our local economy,” said Senator Darby Hills. “We are proud to see businesses continuing to grow in Illinois and invest in hardworking families across the region.”
“Carvana’s expansion in Hoffman Estates is creating exactly the kind of hands-on, good-paying jobs our workforce is looking for. These are real opportunities for Illinois families, and I’m glad to see this kind of commitment to our communities,” said Mayor Bill McLeod.
The announcement builds on Carvana’s growing presence in the Chicago market, which also includes Car Vending Machines in Schaumburg and Oak Brook, as well as a multi-year front-of-kit sponsorship with Chicago Fire FC. Carvana is committed to its fast-growing Chicago customer base and continues to roll out new enhancements to the local customer experience, like same-day delivery, which launched last year.
Located in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, ADESA Chicago has served wholesale customers since 2016. Now the facility will also house the teams and tools that drive Carvana retail reconditioning and fulfillment. The approximately 75-acre site includes nearly 6,000 parking spaces and offers significant infrastructure to support IRC operations alongside ongoing wholesale auction activities.
The integration will establish a new pool of local retail inventory, giving Chicagoland customers access to a broader selection of vehicles with delivery options 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.
