SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Carvana, the industry pioneer for buying and selling cars online, recently announced plans to bring Inspection and Reconditioning Center (IRC) capabilities to its existing ADESA Brasher’s wholesale auction site in Rio Linda, Calif.

The integration creates additional reconditioning capacity and a new inventory pool in Carvana's national network, supporting greater selection for retail customers nationwide, faster delivery speeds for California car buyers, and a more robust offering for local wholesale customers. 

“Bringing IRC capabilities to ADESA Brasher’s strengthens our national network while improving the experience for both retail and wholesale customers in Northern California,” said Brian Boyd, senior vice president of inventory at Carvana. “We’re excited to grow our local team and build on the site’s nearly 50-year history as we bring greater selection, faster delivery and expanded capabilities to customers across the region.” 

Carvana has already begun hiring local team members to support this move 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 and on-the-job training opportunities. Candidates can browse open positions and apply here. 

ADESA Brasher’s has served wholesale auto auction customers in the Sacramento area for nearly 50 years. Now the facility will also house the teams and tools that drive Carvana retail reconditioning and fulfillment. The approximately 110-acre site includes over 7,000 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 customers access to a broader selection of vehicles with delivery options for nearby customers 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.
