Carvana opens dealership test drive centers

Carvana has opened its first test drive center at a pre-existing dealership in Dallas, with plans to expand this model to more locations. Unlike traditional dealerships, the staff at these centers will focus on customer support and exploration rather than direct sales, guiding visitors to Carvana's online platforms for purchases. The new centers will feature new vehicles from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, offering an open and hands-on experience for potential buyers. AI
