About Carvana
At Carvana, we sell cars but we arent car salesmen. Our promise is simple : we wont sell a car to a customer that we wouldnt sell to our own Mom. Period. To make sure our cars are in first-rate condition, weve built multiple vehicle Reconditioning Centers around the country, where our cars are inspected, perfected, and photographed before reaching the Carvana website. Using our Carvana Certified 150-point inspection process, were able to verify that every vehicle meets our rigorous mechanical and cosmetic standards.
We strive to provide only the highest quality vehicles to our customers in our mission to deliver a no-hassle, better car buying experience. We are actively looking for passionate and talented individuals who can help us deliver on that promise.
