Carvana’s integrated auction-recon sites are coming fast and furious.

On the heels of last week’s announcement of a combined facility at ADESA Syracuse, the online used-car retailer revealed plans for its next such site, this one at ADESA Chicago in Hoffman Estates, Ill., where an inspection and reconditioning center will be added to the existing wholesale auto auction.

ADESA Chicago will be the 18th IRC-auction site added to Carvana’s arsenal since the first one — then dubbed a “Megasite” — was launched at ADESA Kansas City in 2024, following the company’s 2022 acquisition of ADESA’s U.S. auctions from KAR Global, now known as OPENLANE, in a $2.2 billion deal.

As with the other sites, the Chicago integration will create additional recon capacity and a new inventory pool in Carvana’s national network to support greater selection for retail customers nationwide, Carvana said in a news release, as well as faster delivery for local car buyers and increased recon and inspection capabilities for local wholesale customers.

“Bringing IRC capabilities to ADESA Chicago strengthens the speed and efficiency of our national network while deepening our presence in the Midwest,” senior vice president of inventory Brian Boyd said. “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’s presence in the Chicago market also includes its car vending machines in Schaumburg and Oak Brook, as well as its sponsorship of Major League Soccer’s Chicago Fire FC. The company launched its same-day delivery service in Chicago last year.

The ADESA Chicago site, which opened in 2016, covers 75 acres, with some 6,000 parking spaces and infrastructure to support IRC operations alongside ongoing wholesale auction activities.

Carvana said the integration is expected to create about 100 new jobs in inspection, reconditioning and vehicle fulfillment over time.

“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 Illinion State Sen. Darby Hills said. “We are proud to see businesses continuing to grow in Illinois and invest in hardworking families across the region.”

Carvana said its 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.
