Customers who visit Carvana.com
from home or on the go via their mobile device can shop more than 10,000
vehicles, finance, purchase and schedule as-soon-as-next-day delivery or
Car Vending Machine pickup in as little as 10 minutes. Upon arriving at
the Car Vending Machine, customers receive a commemorative, oversized
Carvana coin to activate the vending process and transport the car into
the delivery bay. The pickup process typically takes only minutes,
compared to hours haggling at the dealership. Every Carvana vehicle
comes with a seven-day return policy, giving customers the chance to see
if the vehicle really fits their life. Additionally, all Carvana
vehicles are Carvana Certified, meaning they have passed a rigorous
150-point inspection, have never been in a reported accident, and have
no frame damage. Features, imperfections and updated information about
open safety recalls are listed on every car's vehicle description page.
Since its founding in Phoenix in 2012, Carvana has grown its presence in
the Valley of the Sun. Last year alone, Carvana opened its new
headquarters in Tempe, began offering free, as-soon-as-next-day vehicle
delivery to Phoenix metro residents, and opened its newest inspection
and perfection center in nearby Tolleson, creating hundreds of jobs in
the area.
“We’re incredibly proud to be a part of the metro Phoenix community,”
said Ernie Garcia, founder and CEO of Carvana. “Opening our largest Car
Vending Machine to date in the city that shares our headquarters means
so much to us. We’re excited that our hometown and many of our employees
can continue to enjoy the new way to buy a car, now with the unique
vending machine experience we’re known for.”
Located at 707 E. Gilbert Drive – off Scottsdale Road, just north of the
loop 202 – the Tempe Car Vending Machine is open Monday through Saturday
from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. MST. Vehicle pickup at any of Carvana’s Car
Vending Machines is free for all Carvana customers. For customers that
live outside of the Phoenix metro area but would still like to pick up
their car at the Vending Machine, Carvana will subsidize $200 in airfare
and arrange transportation from the Phoenix Sky Harbor International
Airport.
