Didn’t t Went in for an appraisal so I would know what my cars worth was while shopping for a new car. Carmax said $700 while the blue book is $3,000. Didn’t take the offer but it was good to know the minimum I would get. Went back 3 weeks later after buying a car from a dealership and not a carmax and my offer was $400. How does the value of my car go down over 45% in 3 weeks with 25 miles added to the car. Those must be some serious 25 miles in your eyes carmax. More

Don’t use their finance or repair center I purchased what I thought was a reliable vehicle, with a dealer warranty in place and a extended warranty. CarMax took two months to get my vehicle r I purchased what I thought was a reliable vehicle, with a dealer warranty in place and a extended warranty. CarMax took two months to get my vehicle ready, even after getting approved financing. I drove the vehicle for two week and went back to get a oil change and rotation of tires at CarMax. In 2 days the brakes locked up and the vehicles was not able to drive. I called CarMax repair center( which worked on my vehicle) and it took a week to get me in for repairs. The repairs ended up being over $3000 dollars. The brake pads, rotors, and all brake components needed to be replaced. 2 months later the fan belt and fan broke. This cost almost $1000. 3 months later the car would not start at work. I had it towed to its original CarMax this time I had to go Christian Brothers, which end up being approximately $5000 dollars of damages. There were more recommendations, which my insurance would not cover. I then had replaced my own battery about a month later. Next, I went called CarMax and a “Rich” the repair manager called me about my experience. He stated it’s normal to put approximately $45000 of repairs in two years of maintenance on a vehicle. I’m not sure what he drives but it’s not my Nissan. Lastly, I went get a diagnostic for a check engine light. CarMax sent me to a dealer with updates from a Nissan Versa. I called CarMax twice just to ensure all I needed was this computer update for $148, which they confirmed. The dealer laughed and showed me their are no update for my vehicle. They completed a diagnostic, which totaled $31000 in repairs. After calling Consumer division at CarMax, I received a call from Mike, Repair Supervisor. He basically stated they don’t have the proper diagnostic, yet they continue to give out bad information. I asked why couldn’t I be told this may not be correct analysis and he just apologized. This was 4 hours out my time and 2 days later when I got my vehicle back. I fell CarMax gives bad information and can waist a lot of time. My wife and I both bought our cars from CarMax and will not take our vehicles back for any work. More

Aweful Service Center I wanted to tell you about my experience at my local CarMax and the issues that I ran into. I bought a 2015 Ford F-150 on the 26th of December. The c I wanted to tell you about my experience at my local CarMax and the issues that I ran into. I bought a 2015 Ford F-150 on the 26th of December. The car buying process at CarMax was outstanding. It was stress-free and very easy. My wife and I were allowed to look at cars without being stalked or asked a million questions. When we were ready to test drive, it was easy to go get a rep to ride with us. When we bought the truck, it was less than an hour to get approval and complete all of the paperwork. The shopping and buying process was great. I highly enjoyed it. The problems we have are all with the service department. CarMax says in the store and on their website that they do a 125-point inspection on every car. CarMax guaranties that it will repair any problems that you discover on your vehicle that they may have missed within 30 days of purchasing. We were told that our car had a state inspection done. After we purchased our truck, we discovered that the drive shaft had a dent, the windshield was chipped, and other small problems like worn out windshield wipers. These problems should have been found while still at the dealership. They should have been found during the state inspection. But they were not. Getting the repairs was supposed to be easy. It was not. We had to fight for our repairs that were covered. It was stressful and it was a pain. The service writer was rude repetitively and continually ignored us. First problem we had was on the second day we had the truck we discovered a chip in the windshield. We originally thought it had occurred after we purchased the truck while we were driving it. So, we called out insurance company who sent out a safelight tech to repair the chip. The tech discovered that the chip had already been repaired once and it had been repaired improperly so now the entire windshield required replacement. We thought that it would be no problem. CarMax said that it would be covered when we purchased the truck. So, we went back to CarMax and tried to discuss the matter with the service writer. At first, she would not look at it at all and just accused us of breaking the windshield and trying to get one for free. I get that some people may try to scam the shop like this, but we had the report from the Safelight tech and our car insurance company to prove that the windshield was broken and had been broken before we purchased the truck. I do not like being treated like a criminal. After a big argument with the service writer we asked to see the manager. Then she finally said I guess if you won’t leave, I will have a service tech look at it. My wife and I sat there and watched our truck out the window for 15 minutes while the service tech was supposed to be looking at it. No one came over to look at our truck. The service writer came out again and accused us of lying. She said that her techs looked at the chip and it was brand new. Once again, I tried to give her the report from Safelight and my car insurance. Still nothing other than getting treated like I was trying to rob them. I asked for the manager again. The service writer stomped off to go get the manager. The manager said that if Safelight and Geico say it’s broken and a prior problem it should be looked at. Someone then finally actually looked at the windshield. The service tech that looked at the windshield discovered that it was chipped and had been repaired improperly. We finally got approval for the repair and got a new windshield. We were happy it was finally repaired, and really unhappy at how the service writer treated us. Second problem. When we drove on the highway there was a sound. We were worried that is was a wheel bearing or a drive train problem. We heard the noise during the test drive and had a service date set up for the truck before we even left CarMax the day we purchased it. The service center said that the truck was safe to drive so we kept driving it. By the time of the service the tires had been eaten up because of the issues. CarMax service tech said that it was a drive train issue and the truck had to go to Cavalier Ford to be repaired. We took the truck all the way out to Cavalier Ford to be repaired. It was an hour and a half drive with the traffic. The service techs at Cavalier Ford determined that the drive shaft had a dent in it, and that the truck needed an alignment as well as new tires. Cavalier Ford had all of the parts and was ready to repair the truck the same day. When they called for approval it was denied by CarMax. We then had to have the truck towed back to CarMax at our own expense because Cavalier said that the truck was unsafe to drive but CarMax said it was. Then once the truck was back at CarMax, we were told that it would be in the shop first thing on Monday morning. It did not go in until late Monday and was not looked at until Tuesday. The service techs at CarMax then reinspected the truck to determine that the drive shaft had a dent in it. It took until Thursday to be repaired because they did not have the parts in stock. During the repairs, CarMax took the truck to Cavalier Ford in a different city without telling us. The truck never should have left the lot without us being informed. They chose to drive our truck to another city without telling us. Kept calling multiple times trying updates on our truck, so they had many occasions to tell us. Even though they were supposed to be the ones calling us. We would have to call the service department three or four times to be able to get someone to give us an update. We would be we told that we would be called by our service writer and then she would not call. One day we were supposed to be called first thing in the morning. We did not receive a call. When we called the service writer was out to lunch and that she would call us in an hour. When she did not call, we called back. This time she was gone for the rest of the day in the middle of the afternoon. No one else could give us any information on our truck. When we asked for the information to contact the manager it took twenty minutes for them to figure out his contact information. When we got the truck back from the repair to the drive shaft. The truck had two new rear tires, however, the front tires were not replaced, and the alignment was not done. Had talk to the manager and show him the receipts from Ford that they needed to be replaced and aligned. He was very helpful and made sure that the rest of the repairs were made to the truck. His service writer had not been giving him the correct information on our truck and what needed to be repaired. The horribly rude and unhelpful service writer’s name was Maya. We kept asking to be given to a different service writer throughout this process because she was extremely unprofessional and rude to us over and over. She treated us like criminals when we were trying to get her to look at our windshield. Then she was just horrible for all the rest of the repairs we needed. She kept rolling her eyes and acting like we were bothering her. At the end of the month process to get our truck repaired, we did have a new windshield, four new tires, a repaired drive shaft, and an alignment. The manager told me that all of these issues should have been caught during their inspection and apologized. The process should not have been so painful or such a fight. If we did not continue to press to have our issues fixed, they never would have been repaired. We would have been stuck with a massive repair bill for the truck that we had just purchased. More
