Electronic Odometer Systems

Carvana Adopted the TxDMV 'webDEALER' Platform to Streamline Sales

— August 12, 2024 — Autos
Carvana has adopted the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) electronic odometer and sales disclosure system, known as the e-odometer process. This system is available through the TxDMV’s webDEALER platform and aims to streamline the car buying experience by eliminating unnecessary paperwork. By leveraging the e-odometer feature, Carvana has been able to reduce paperwork errors and processing times, thereby enhancing the overall customer experience. This adoption marks Carvana as the largest automotive dealer in Texas to implement this system, further modernizing the car buying and selling process.

The e-odometer system allows customers to complete their vehicle purchases entirely online, without the need for paperwork review by state officials and agents. This feature is particularly beneficial for customers who pick up or have their vehicles delivered in Texas, as it enables them to browse Carvana’s inventory, select their desired vehicle, and complete the purchase with just a few clicks. The necessary paperwork for title transfers, registrations, and vehicle inspections is processed electronically, ensuring a seamless transaction. Carvana’s partnership with the TxDMV reflects its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
