Carvana Expands West Coast Footprint with Newest Car Vending Machine in San Diego

Online Auto Retailer Debuts 39th Signature Car Vending Machine in U.S., Fifth in the Golden State

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), an industry pioneer for buying and selling used cars online, today debuted its newest Car Vending Machine in San Diego, California. The state-of-the-art steel and glass structure stands an impressive six stories tall along the 8 in Mission Valley and has a 19-vehicle capacity.

Now, local Carvana customers can enjoy the convenience and fun of picking up their vehicle at the San Diego Car Vending Machine or having it delivered to their home. When customers opt for a Car Vending Machine experience, they select and purchase a vehicle from Carvana.com and schedule a time for pick up. Upon their arrival at the tower, they are greeted by a Customer Advocate and receive a commemorative, oversized Carvana coin to activate the automated vending process. Customers then get a front-row seat to watch their newly purchased vehicle descend through the brightly lit vending structure from the heart of the all-glass tower.

“We first brought the Car Vending Machine experience to the San Diego area in 2022 with our Escondido location, and we’ve been looking forward to expanding our local presence ever since,” said Mike Fryer, Carvana Market Operations Manager. “This unique site sits right in the heart of Mission Valley and is conveniently accessible to our many local customers while also boasting plenty of space to support our local team and operations. We are proud to join the San Diego skyline and excited to create even more convenient and memorable experiences for our customers in the area.”

This is Carvana’s second Car Vending Machine in the area, its fifth in California, and its 39th in the U.S. It is located at 1545 Camino Del Rio S, San Diego, California 92108. Location hours are Monday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. PT.
