    Traci D.

    Today (Monday), we finalized a deal on our 5th vehicle we've purchased from CarMax. We've had multiple good experiences with them, that's why we come back. This time, the hunt started on Saturday. Before we even walked into the dealership, we went ahead and prequalified with external financing. We made an appointment to test drive a vehicle at 3 pm. I highly encourage appointments. We arrived and we were assigned a sales agent, Sydney Fox. The member of our party who would be driving the vehicle ran about 15 minutes late. Sydney went ahead and washed the vehicle and got it ready for the test drive. We told her we were interested in other vehicles. She got our next option ready and we went for our drive. We came back and saw the next vehicle. The interior was a bit of a wreck, so we passed on the test drive. We went back to the drawing board. Found another vehicle, and another test drive. We broadened our search and found another vehicle, yet another test drive. Then, we stumbled upon the vehicle we decided on. Test drive was awesome. We came back and told Sydney we wanted it. She had to leave at 6 pm, so she set us up with Evan to finish the process. I logged into my insurance app, got a quote, and then the next page showed a drastically different payment layout. We told Evan we needed to pump the brakes on the sale until we could get our insurance figured out. They put the vehicle on hold for us until Monday 6 pm. On Monday morning, I got a text from Sydney inquiring about our interest in the vehicle. I told her we got a hold of our insurance, it's good, and we want the vehicle. We would be in at 6 pm to finalize the deal. We filled out the CarMax prefinancing, but there rate wasn't as good as our external source. She later messaged me and said we could work the process from home and it would be express delivery when we showed up at 6. I was a little hesitant, but with some encouragement, I said I would try. I had a hiccup in my external loan application. I had to call the business to have them set up automated payments, and we just went ahead and finished the loan processing. I logged back into my app, signed the loan, and then asked my husband to do the same. I then added the vehicle to my insurance policy and sent them a photo copy. I did all of this from the comfort of my home. We showed up at 6, checked in, waited maybe 20 minutes, signed some paperwork, and we were lead out to the vehicle around 6:45. That was express service if I say so myself.

    Buying a new car out of state and decided it's easier to sell my truck here and fly out. So here I am. Got here and met with an advisor. He took all the info and told me it'd take about 40 mins to get the quote. 15mins later he tells me I have an offer. Gives me a quote higher than I expected - woohoo! Went to the business office did the paperwork, got my check and was out the door within an hour. Now the wait for new car to come in begins...

    It was so fast and easy. I requested a quote online and then made an appointment. Showed up with my car and the title and they handled the paperwork.took just under an hour and they wrote me a check for the amount I was quoted online. Super easy process no negotiating. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the waiting area was big and clean. They have coffee and water in the lobby. Would go back if I ever had to sell a car again

    But your car

    Decided to sell my pickup. Made an online quote and a reservation to meet an advisor. Got here to see if they are good to their word. I think you really have to wonder about the people coming in here. I would wonder about me. They try to get you through but are sort of lost. They don't know who to talk to when they tell you to sit and wait. I hope this works out. The place looks nice though I will give them that just not well organized. Omg you sit and wait and wait and then wait longer. Wow. The guy looked at my ride an hour ago and I am still waiting to speak with someone. Worst service ever!! 3 hours and they finally came over and said they misplaced paperwork and had also called the wrong number

    Waiting room where I've wasted last hour of my life.

    See all

I was absolutely blown away by the whole experience. We flew in from CA and drove 12hrs home just to buy from them because of the upfront no-BS attitude and I would do it again! I got the price that was promised- they didn't try to sell me a bunch of "mandatory add-ons" or add any hidden fees. The car was clean and ready to go when we got there. P.S. They gave great lunch recommendations as well!

From the day we purchased it, the vehicle has experienced continuous mechanical problems. In fact, it has spent more time back at the dealership for repairs than it has in our possession. The most disappointing part of this experience has been the way management has handled the situation. The General Manager repeatedly assured us that the issues would be resolved, yet those promises have not been kept. Instead of taking responsibility for selling a vehicle with ongoing, serious mechanical issues, we were ultimately told that "at some point you have to be an owner and take responsibility for repairing it." That is completely unacceptable after months of recurring problems that began immediately after the purchase. This is not just about repairs--it's about safety. The vehicle malfunctioned while my wife was driving on the highway, nearly causing a serious accident. It has also left her stranded on multiple occasions. No family should have to worry about whether the vehicle they just purchased from a dealership is safe to drive. We have been patient, cooperative, and have given AutoNation every opportunity to make this right. Instead, we have been met with broken promises, poor communication, and a complete lack of accountability. At this point, we have lost confidence in AutoNation's willingness to resolve this matter fairly. We will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau and sharing our experience with local news outlets. We are also consulting with an attorney to determine our legal options regarding this vehicle. If you are considering purchasing a used vehicle from AutoNation, I strongly encourage you to do your homework and have any vehicle independently inspected before signing any paperwork. Our experience has been financially draining, emotionally exhausting, and, most importantly, has put my wife's safety at risk. AutoNation had numerous opportunities to make this right and chose not to. I hope no other customer has to endure what our family has experienced. I would leave a 0 star if I could!!! The only nice one that was helpful was the front desk receptionist (Tiffany) other than that the sales, service and management is nothing more than a joke!

The passenger airbag light was on yet he never mentioned it in his advert online in all the social media posts but instead posted a CARFAX report. He should've added the damages to the car but he didn't and misled buyers that everything was perfect. He complained when I asked him to fix those damages coz in TX the seller is liable for undisclosed damages. Apparently at that car had an unreported accident and he pretended he didn't know that. He didn't want to be accountable for his undisclosed damages. He needs to highlight the known damages like airbags never time so the buyer knows what needs to be fixed.

She wasn't there Thursday the day I came which she could have informed me of that if she wasn't available that day. So Renee comes out gives us her business cards in civilian clothes talking on the phone. She tells me that I am going to have to hurry and test drive it because they clothes in an hour. LMAO. So I guess she didn't want the sale even if u did want the car. During the test drive she was on the phone not really seemed pleased to do her job. Worst experience they profiled me did somewhat an ok job but I think they should change their attitudes towards people.

Already at a loss of $5000, and 4 months later, my stress was at an all-time high that I had made the worst purchase decision of my entire life. I'm a big believer in supporting small business in Albuquerque and I believe in giving people the opportunity to make it right. I contacted the general manager, he's a busy man and very hard to get a hold of, but the quality of our conversations was worth the wait. He made me an offer to buy back the vehicle and allow me to cut my losses completely, or he could help set up a really good deal on another vehicle if I gave it another shot. We took him up on that offer because I feel that he was acting in good faith and wanted to make it right. We ended up buying another vehicle after he paid off the one that gave us so much trouble. In being fair and taking such good care of my family, this dealership has gained a life long customer. I would recommend them to any friend or family member looking for a reliable used vehicle. Thank you M and F!!
