Got an online quote and made an appointment. Everything was on schedule and they honored the quote given online. We had a tricky paperwork situation and they handled it very well. We got a fair price for our car and everyone we worked with was very helpful and friendly.

My daughter and I both got new vehicles and hers had a transmission problem that they took forever to fix. She was without her new car for weeks. My vehicle has two chips in the windshield but they are so backed up in the service center that I havent even taken it to get fixed yet fearing Ill be without a vehicle and they dont offer you a loaner.Positive: Buying process was smooth.

Greg and Andrea were Phenomenal. Greg went above and beyond to keep me informed during the whole purchase process and Andrea made sure I drove off with a car I absolutely LOVE. I am extremely pleased with my carmax experience. The bow on the car was a nice touch.

When I first went to CarMax I didn’t think they were going to work with me because of my credit ratings. I was totally blown away whenever everything was said and done and I ended up purchasing a car. My next vehicle purchase will definitely be with CarMax again I’m very satisfied with them.

My sales associate was very nice and professional. However, the waiting for the papers and the car to come out was a ridiculous hold time.I came in with a check so I didn’t need financing. I figured my experience would go quickly. I ended up being there the same time length as a person who was going through financing.They even gave me the wrong registration card. Good thing my sales associate caught that.

This was my first experience with selling a car. CarMax made the highest offer and upon seeing the car confirmed the same offered price. Employees were friendly. I had my check in less than half an hour … the time it took for a test drive and body check.

We arrived precisely at 4:30pm for our express delivery appointment.The business office was not prepared with our paperwork. No way to run a business. A gentleman made his way over to my seat and kindly offered me a bottle water. How sweet and customer focused.

We were greeted when we walked into the showroom. The salesman was friendly and professional. He listened to what we were interested in seeing. We had another vehicle in mind that I saw on line. We ended up purchasing a vehicle that was in the showroom which was newer and less mileage . Our salesman was patient while we made our decision and took care of us. This is the third vehicle we have bought from Carmax and have always had a pleasant experience.

I stopped there before they were open (so no salesmen contact)to look around. Theyve got a large variety of very nice automobiles, comfortably priced. Their cars are set up in a huge lot and aligned by manufacturers, which made it extremely easy to see and fine the models I was interested in.

I made an appointment, met with a sales rep while my vehicle was being appraised, walked the lot and saw so many vehicles that I was interested in, and never felt pressured once. I got a great offer on my car and the process was quick and easy!

My sales experience was great working with Dan in newark!But talking to service has not been so great, there seems to be a brake issue with the car and something was supposedly fixed but when I went to my mechanic he said he can not tell of any parts that were replaced on the brakes at all. I’ve called and left several messages with the service department and no response. So I ordered all new rotors and pads for the car on my own.

I was very pleased with price they give me to buy my car. i told salesperson i was buying a new car from my nearby Honda dealer and asked him a couple times how long to turn over car and get check and was told it would be pretty quick. it was not quick. When i got there they said about 1/2 hour and it took an hour which is fine except my ride waited 45 minutes which was upsetting.

Very efficient operation (they really know what they are doing). No pressure, no lies, no bait and switch. Fair values for purchase and trades. I highly recommend CarMax to anyone who needs to buy a car, trade in a car, or both (independent operations).

My experience at CARMAX was great. It was my first time selling a car to CARMAX so I wasnt sure what to expect. The staff were very friendly and cooperative. They treated me very well and were very professional. The wait time was a drawn out but all was well in the end and I am very pleased.

I recently purchased a vehicle from CarMax and realized that it did not have all the features that I should have known that I would have wanted at the time of purchase.I have always heard that CarMax stands behind it transactions, but never really believed it until nowWhen I told my sale representative that I overlooked some features without any hesitation they allowed me to reconsider my purchase and choose another vehicle without any questions.I had never bought myself as new of a vehicle as I did before and CarMax made my experience as pleasant one, and one that I would gladly do again

It took them over 3 hours to appraise a car and write a check. They were not busy. This was longer than it took to actually purchase a vehicle! I would be more satisfied if there was a sense of ANY urgency.

I was there on may 10 and was approved for a car that i did not test drive or seen. you were getting ready to close. i hate this car. i have been back every day for the past 2 weeks. i have picked out several car different car on the size that i need for my husband. he is with a wheel chair, a walker, and now an oxygen. you approved me of 17 plus dollars but when i try to get a cheaper one to fit what i can pay you denied me. this dont make sense to me. you are forcing me to make payment of 383.00 a month when i can afford about 311 or 315 a month. i am on a fixed income. i will turn this car in and will not deal with carmax again. i will also tell my friends not to go there as well. you really dont care about that. thank for nothing

My 2018 Lexus ES from Carmax is the 3rd vehicle Ive purchased from them. The process from start to finish was super easy. To top it off, I got an amazing deal on my trade! From being greeted right away, to the friendliness of all the staff, this was a stress-free experience. My only complaint is the cleanliness of the car; the cleaning/detailing job was poor. Ive purchased other cars from the Carmax in Lancaster, PA. Those guys blow Newark out the water when it comes to detailing.Overall, a great experience. Will purchase from Carmax again.

Not a single person even spoke to us while we walked the lot for over 30 minutes, all cars are locked so self service wasn’t even an option. There where 3 people sitting at their desks and over 3 couples where in the lot with no help. You all lost out on a 30k sale. Love, Karen.

Car had a service needed indicator lit on warning lights. I was assured it had been serviced but indicator was not reset. Attempted to make an appointment with your Maple Shade store to habit reset and could not get get an appointment for over 3 weeks I finally took the car to an Audi dealer (got one in less than a week) paid for reset out of my pocket. Your maintenance department at Maple Shade said she could walk me through it on the NOT TRUE requires computer. Tried calling salesman for assistance 3 days of being on hold for over 45 minutes each time I callrd I just gave up. Your sales department was helpful at purchase time was very good, your after sales service is HORRIBLE.

Another update on 4/10. Spoke to someone in corporate 10 days ago and they are handling my request. I guess that means 10 days with no response. This is unbelievable. Can someone in corporate call me back?????!!???? Or email me???Purchased new vehicle last year and it is impossible to get in touch with their service department. Have left 4 messages, now their voicemail is full, and also tried calling them and was on hold twice for over 25 minutes before dropping.....Update, after three weeks of calling and conversations with someone in corporate, they still can not locate a service manager to call me back. I am still waiting for someone to help address our concerns. They have delayed enough that we are now out of the 90 day period for the warranty.What is the point of offering a warranty if you aren’t available for your customers????

I purchased a vehicle from Carmax on 7/8/21 and had a positive experience. I walked into the building and was instantly greeted. I gave some information and went to the lot to take a look. Within minutes I was paired up with a sales man named Mark Bell. I generally buy cars outright and are older, this being my first time financing anything Mark made my experience stress free. He listened to my wants/needs, and was able to work within my budget and pair me with a car that checked my boxes and did not break the bank. Mark has a positive, friendly, kind and attentative attitude. 10 out of 10 I would recommend Carmax and Mark to friends and family and already have in just a few short days.

Worst car buying experience. Impossible to get through the phones, no one returns the phone calls. Regardless of the times Ive called there has never been a good conversation. Ive spent hours on hold and I’ve had to drive there multiple times to have my questions answered which is over an hour away. My issue still has not been resolved, I purchased/ traded in my vehicle over a month ago and they still have not sent the payoff to my bank correctly, which has resulted in multiple double car payments $$$$.

I just recently purchased a truck from Carmax in Newark, De. I would never buy a car from them ever again. They honestly don’t know what they are doing. I went today to get my tags for my vehicle.. was told they were there to be picked up. Went there and now They informed me that I had to tag the vehicle myself because they don’t do Maryland tags. Which is incorrect. They made a mistake on their end by putting my truck in as title only now I have to go to the MVA and take care of tagging my truck.

Review №65

While I love the vehicle I purchased through CarMax, my experience with them has been awful. You make appts to see cars but then you sit and wait. When I purchased the car, I had to wait 45 minutes to meet with the finance team when there were no other customers in front of me. Its now been more than 6 weeks and I have yet to receive the information I need to register my vehicle and Ive called 2x in the last 2 weeks and they said they were putting it in the mail, but I have not received it. I am now on hold yet again for 30 mins. Do yourself a favor - find your dream car somewhere else

Review №69

Really nice facility, Ill give them that. I wanted to sell my vehicle outright (2015 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon). After 45 minutes of looking over every single detail of my vehicle, marking down every single thing they could find (rust on the bottom), they offered me $15000. Carvana offered me $19500. I ended up going with my Jeep dealership since it was a trade in and netted me $19000. Thats $4,000 difference on a vehicle that holds its value extremely well.Id probably consider buying a used car from them, but I wont waste my time going into the facility anymore for a sell. After the low ball, I would definitely compare their sale prices to other dealerships before purchasing.

We were super excited to get our car from CarMax since we could do the bulk of the purchasing process online. I was told that the in-store portion would take about 25 minutes, but definitely no more than an hour. But what did I expect after waiting for someone to answer the phone for almost two hours?! But I think what made this worse was that it wasn’t crowded! Yet, it was fully staffed. AND our car hadn’t even been pulled for our pick up, even after waiting an hour and a half. It was also pretty annoying to have an employee sitting next to me in the waiting area complaining about her job. We have the right to a bad day at work, but to say it in front of customers that have been waiting a while for service?

My sales person was extremely helpful. After sitting trying to complete the finance info the computers crashed, we could no longer wait for the system to reboot, this was after an hour of waiting. Came back the next day to complete the paperwork, upon leaving I realized that my car had not been detailed. The inside of the car was dirty, there was an expired Subway gift card in the glovebox and candy wrappers in the back seat.

The wife & I purchased a 2015 Buick lacrosse as a third vehicle. I have purchased many cars in my life and this was by far the most efficient way to buy a pre owned car. Their selection was outstanding and the buying process was quick and painless. There was a minor issue with the car, but they fixed it quickly and without cost to us. They even gave us a loaner while we waited for the repair. I am buying all future vehicles from them as I enjoyed my experience.

I’d like to start off by saying Luke Hamilton went above and beyond expectations with making the process of buying a vehicle an easy and relaxed experience. After going from dealership to dealership, and then dealing with an employee who didn’t leave such a great impression at Carmax the first time around - Luke really picked the ball up where it was dropped and made the entire experience worth it and comfortable. It’s something that’s truly hard to do and I appreciate every second of his time with helping us. I will hopefully be buying from him in the future again, and sending everyone I know his way.Carmax itself is a great no-haggle company and helped me find a car in my budget that I was comfortable getting after I’ve been given the run around from other dealerships. After having a total loss on my vehicle, they finally made something I’ve been stressing about an actual easy process. 10/10, I would love to buy from Carmax again in the future.

I have previously purchased 2 vehicles from CarMax. This vehicle made the third. The third purchase was not like the previous two. The vehicle was a vehicle transfer from another CarMax. I was told it arrived and even set up an appointment. When I arrived at CarMax they didn’t know the car was there. They car was serviced but the tps light remained on along with a broken windshield wiper. I pointed it out. The manger had them look at it and they kept the vehicle overnight. Overall my third purchase wasn’t like the previous 2.

I brought in my car for a windshield chip that needed to be repaired. The service associate also asked how my car was and if there was anything else I needed looked at. I had a concern about my brakes and he made sure to have it checked out. The concern was solved and throughout the process I was kept up to date on the status of my vehicle. Excellent customer service.

It is my third car with Carmax. And they always have great customer service. My first two in Orlando FL and my dream car in Newark. Great buy. They took care of everything online and over the phone. Very patience. Check Engine light came on when testing and they kept the car and fixed what needed to be fix and more. Lend me a nice car in the mean time. Always recommend them for used cars and service

Shout out to Nicholas in sales and his helper for accommodating my 7 year old daughter with her full cast broken leg. They made it very simple, fast and worked with me todo eveything with my purchase without having to move her all around the store. Very pleased with this location. Both of them went above and beyond on helping me with her. some one better make sure they get praised and rewarded for that because its what made my overall buying decision. Thanks again

Review №91

We bought our SUV in Newark about two weeks ago. The process went very smoothly and easy. Our sales lady crunched as many numbers as she could crunch for us, answered every question we had with a straight answer. Getting them on the phone to ask a question about dealership warranty has been very difficult. The phone either rings until it gets disconnected eventually, or you hear an automated message that nobody is answering. I understand with Covid theres an increased number in calls, but none of the options given (sales, business office, service) was answering a phone 4 hours before closing time.

Review №92

The whole experience was painless. Our salesman was courteous and didnt rush us. My husband and I have recommended friends go there who are looking for vehicles. Since they were busy the day we went I would recommend making an appointment before hand. The time we waited to speak with a salesperson allowed us to browse the selection of vehicles, which was, in my opinion, better quality used vehicles.

The man who I had met with was amazingly helpful. Being mindful of The salesmen arent your friend is very wrong atleast with the man I met with.

First...all precautions for safety during the pandemic were evident. Every employee I saw observed safety procedures, down to cleaning the customer-used keyboards. Nice. Overall a painless and trouble free experience buying a car. And our saleswoman was top notch --- knew her stuff and possessed the right human relations attitude! First time for us at CarMax...think well do it again!

Review №95

This was the worst car buying nightmare, and it still hasn’t concluded 2 full months later. The first vehicle I bought had a complete engine failure a week after purchase and I was completely ghosted by the dealership. My account was subsequently transferred to another store where the individuals I spoke to in the service department were great, but it still took weeks to speak to a salesperson and get another vehicle brought in to replace the first. My paperwork has continuously been mishandled, put under different names, etc. I still don’t have the registration or title worked out, and I’m already having issues with the brakes on the second vehicle. I would *never* recommend doing business with this company.

I started with a phone call, where i was told they would transfer a specific car for me to test drive, and i set up an appointment. I go into said appointment and no car. We met with a salesman, who was nice enough but worked limited hours. Long story short, it took 2 weeks and I had to push to get the deal. I felt they did not want my business and were in no way motivated to make the sale. I have never had such an experience. I would not recommend CarMax at all.

Terry (the Sales Consultant) was very knowledgeable, offered advice when needed, confident and cordial. I would always recommend him as the go-to CarMax employee to work with.Anthony sat in on the transaction as well. A brand new employee, he was eager to learn and very friendly. Its easy to tell that he will be one of the best employees there once he knows the software and the process.

Review №99

It was not good or acceptable. At no point was it as advertised. If the person who initially contacted me explained that what I requested was not possible, I would have gone to another dealer. I requested home delivery. Found out at the very last minute, after paying to have the vehicle relocated, that it was not possible. Then requested curbside delivery. Again at the last minute when I was in the parking lot that it was not possible. All in all a piss poor experience.
