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.
