I went in to see about the "we'll buy your car even if you don't buy ours" thing. They appraised my car, told me everything was excellent (the highest rank on their appraisal sheet) the only thing was that I have an aftermarket radio. I was feeling encouraged, and while I waited for them, they had computers in the lobby so I used the black book appraisal site. What CarMax offered me for my car was FAR below the worst price on that site. The guy explained they're in business, yeah, I got that from the sign. But I reminded him I used the trade in value not the private party value. Anyways, long story short I'm listing on ebay, and won't return to CarMax. Thanks! read more

Two weeks ago, I went into carmax hoping to order a car that was at a carmax location out of state. I sat with a sales rep and they explained to me it would be 600$ to transfer the car over to my location and I was assured everything was working properly and the vehicle would go through another inspection before leaving the location it was at and then another larger inspection when it arrived to my desired location. I went ahead and paid the transfer fee and the car arrived fairly quickly. It passed the "extensive inspection" and they contacted me that it was ready to pick up. I went in to finalize the purchase and take the car. Ofcourse, before officially buying the car, they allowed me to test drive it. In test driving the car, I noticed the radio screen was not functioning properly and I was unable to connect to Bluetooth or even do simple things like change the station on the radio. I told my sales rep who then took the car to the service department to get checked AGAIN. They then told me that the entire radio console needed to be replaced to which I expressed that without a working radio, I didn't want to purchase the car. They then told me that they would order the part right then and it should arrive in about a week so being that carmax is a huge company, I trusted it was safe to go ahead with the purchase. Two weeks later, I still had not been contacted about the car part arriving at the store so I called my sales rep. He told me that he would get back to me and then a day later I received a "courtesy call" from the service department letting me know the part to my car was too expensive and they would not be replacing it. I am extremely livid at this entire experience with carmax. I went in thinking I didn't have to worry about situations like this and now I have already spent 200$ on window tints for a car I am being told I will have to return because the piece they promised was never even ordered and they didn't even have the decency to call me until I called them. Now I have a limited time to figure out this entire situation as my 30 day return period is almost up. read more

Incredibly pleased with the customer service! My husband and I wanted to sell our car & we were lucky to walk in and come into contact with David. He made the whole entire process seen seamless and stress free! Would definitely recommend and consider when selling your car or purchasing! Great experience read more

I got a very fair value for my trade in and a great price and quick financing. So happy with my new pre-owned car.

My wife and I purchased a car at CarMax in November. Within the first 24 hours the A/C unit went out (on a car with only 27K miles). We brought the car back to have it worked on, and spent over a week and a half in the shop. We tried to call the service department several times to inquire about the car and each time would get forwarded to a voicemail or would be transferred and hung up on (we were hung up on by the service department on 3 separate occasions). Our salesman was excellent, however the issues with service were more than unpleasant. We returned the car and purchased elsewhere We will not be purchasing any future cars with CarMax. read more

Ask for Dago, I had an appointment to appraise my car and my original appraiser didn't come in, so they assigned me to Dago, who I advised I needed to be done before a certain time, and he came through. Very professional and honest. He made the process easy and pleasant. read more

my first time buying a car. I didn't get the scummy used car salesman feeling. I went in there and a few hours later I left with a truck. The salesman, chris, was so friendly and helpful. Carmax doesnt bargin prices, so Im not sure if you are getting the lowest price, but to be honest I dont like bargining. read more

Rarely do I bother on even giving reviews, and if so, they don't get 5 stars. The service, experience and vehicle quality have been beyond expected. Antonio was patient, knowledgeable and very courteous from the moment I walked in. In further actions, they reach out to see how things have turned out with the car just to enhance the experience, definitely recommending. read more

They were all nice at the sale two years ago.... now they are all like low balling me on a car .. don't they give good prices? I got a trade 3 higher at a chevy dealer..... go figure.... read more

I have had an all around nightmare experience with Carmax. I traded in my old car and they sold me a broken car, then made it very difficult to get my trade-in back, even trying to hold it ransom until I threatened legal action, upon which they magically "unsold" my car and returned it to me. Never going back. Not to mention, carmax was going to give me $3,000 for my car. I sold it on craigslist instead for $5,500. Avoid this, and save yourself some money. read more

Whatever you do, DO NOT get your car appraised without you being there with the person who appraises your vehicle. I went on Saturday to get my car appraised, I have after market fog lights that were $150.00 and they probably did not think I would notice. So those as*holes stole one of them. When I went back the joke of a manager of course refused everything stating the person who appraised my car drove a jeep or some sh*t. I don't care what he drives, he stole my fog light. They told me file a police report if I want there is nothing they will do and of course they have no cameras. I will never ever buy a vehicle from these animals. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I purchased a 2015 BMW 3-Series in October 2017, under the assumption that my car had run flat tires, as is the case with newer BMWs. When I got a flat two months later, I didn't worry too much, as I was sure I was driving on runflats, which let you drive for 50 miles after you've gotten a flat tire. I waited until the next morning to get my tire changed. When I got to Braman, the service technician asked why I didn't have runflats.... excuse me? Upon further inspection, NONE of the tires on my car were run flat. I had him give me this in writing and I went straight to Carmax. At first, a service person tried to tell me this is normal, that they sell the cars in the condition they have them in, tires included. But I wasn't having that, so a nice sales person was able to pull up the listing for my car and there it said it RUN FLAT TIRES. Meaning, I was lied to about the product I was sold. When I brought this up to management, they redirected me to the service department, who said they could change my three non run flat tires. Why only three? Well because I had just purchased a brand new run flat tire at Braman a few hours ago, due to the flat I had. I said no, the price of my car includes FOUR run flat tires. I'd like to get reimbursed for the tire I had to purchase out of pocket. After some back and forth, they agreed to this. Why did I even have to ask for this in the first place!? It should have been common courtesy. This was in January 2018. It's now March and I have yet to receive a reimbursement or even as much as a formal apology from ANYONE at Carmax. I have had to call them 6 times to follow up on the reimbursement. "We'll call you right back" they always say. I have not received ONE phone call from them ever. As a business owner myself, I would be bending over backwards to fix a situation like this. I have grounds for a lawsuit, as they sold my a faulty product which put me in danger, but for now all I want is my reimbursement, and for everyone reading this article to please be aware of their horrible service and to save themselves the headache and to go ANYWHERE else to purchase a car. It's NOT worth it. I will never make this mistake ever again. read more

Thank you to Rodolfo who appraised my trade-in, and Antonio and Jerry in sales who worked hard to find just the car I wanted. Excellent service and professionalism. Happy customer :) read more

I have bought a few cars from carmax over the years the sales team are not pushy and they have a good selection and easy no hassle process. I have seen them decline a bit over the years and this is why they get a 3 instead of 5 for me. The cars seem to be more used than they used to be in the past and seems they choose more auction vehicles than nicer ones i have bought before. But all in all its a good company and prices are okay too. read more

What's wrong with this CARMAX it's absolutely great.I love this CARMAX the staff is friendly and I don't have to wait forever for someone to help me read more

I brought my vehicle here to have it appraised. The price was fair and they didn't try and pressure me into buying a car from them. Not your typical car dealer, they have good ethics read more

Don't use them. They are heartless. I had a discrepancy on the mileage on the title. They could buy the car but wanted to take an extensive reduction off the appraised value to fix the mileage discrepancy even though they knew I was trying to get the car sold before my second mastectomy for Cancer. read more

Sold my car, it was not long and painless. Gave me the price I was thinking, service was great.

I travel a lot and did not want the hassle of dealing with craigslist over an extended time period while trying to sell my car. A dealer recommended I go to Carmax in Doral. I had a 2010 high mileage vehicle in great shape with a clear title. I walked in and was told there would be a 30min wait and the vehicle appraisal would take 1 hour. The entire process took less than 1 hour and I walked out with a check. I would have liked to have gotten a little more for the vehicle, but when you consider the time, irritation and hassle of selling your car on the street or online, it was well worth it. My customer service rep, Juan, made the entire process smooth and simple. I got less than Edmunds listed trade-in value considering how nice my car was, but I was still very happy with the price. I will use them in the future. read more

Just got my 1st car right here from this dealership. Im in Love with my new car its perfect and I got it for a great price. They helped me through everything and were very nice if you looking a affordable car this is the place. read more

The worst car buying experience I have ever experienced. Liars, unprofessional, bad business ethics, the list goes on. I purchased a 2013 Audi A6 that was "Carmax Quality Certified" and had the "125 point inspection". They told me that they had put brand new tires on it. 3 days after I buy the car the 2 drivers side tires completely blow out ruining both wheels. I had the car towed back to carmax assuming they will fix it, especially with the fact that I have only had it for 3 days. They wind up telling me that they need to do an investigation to see if it was my fault. I asked them why they told me they had put new tires on the vehicle, and showed them huge gouges on the passenger side tires (obviously not new tires). Then all of a sudden the only tires that were new were the tires that were completely destroyed. Not only would they not fix the car, they give me an estimate of what it is going to cost for them to replace everything. I told them that I wanted to return the car, and they refuse to take it back even with their 30 day return policy. After days of arguing I just took it to the Audi dealer. The Audi dealer tells me that the break pad need to be changed immediately or my breaks were going to go out, and they also tell me that the car is completely out of alignment. So what is with the 125 point inspection carmax? Did you guys check anything at all? Carmax would never return my calls, they would put me on hold when I called and then disconnect me forcing me to actually go into the store anytime I would try to get an answer for anything. My sales person assured me the entire time that I would not pay anything out of pocket for anything and that he would personally take care of me. All bullshit lies. Horrible horrible business!!!! read more

I have purchased 11 cars from CarMax since 2005 ^had a car shipped from their Orlando store- 2017 model with 600 miles!!!! ^went to get my car (trade-in) appraised & draw up an invoice on the 2017 car I was buying ^this process took 2 hours just to get an appraisel & invoice ^the interest rates received from CarMax Doral was very high. Told them I was going to my bank & get a better rate ^received a call from the salesman that evening to see what rate I was able to obtain. Told him bank was closed & need to do it the following day ^Received a call from CarMax the next morning asking me when I was coming to the store to complete the transaction. ***This is my 1st time buying from Doral - I have sold cars at Doral previously \*** This is the 1st time I have ever seen HIGH PRESSURE sales tactics coming from CarMax total turn off & unexpected ^Space Coast Credit Union gave me an outstanding rate. They drew up all the proper documents & emailed & faxed to CarMax at least 1 hour prior to me going back to that store. All I had to do was finalize the trade & sign their papers. ^I called CarMax 2 hours prior to arriving at their store & asked to have all the paperwork ready that I was at the bank & will be there ASAP ^I arrived at CarMax & nothing was done. The process took an additional 3+ hours. ^a total of 5 hours at CarMax & they weren't even doing the financing ^They removed the wheel lock & no owners manual on a brand new car. I was told to order 1 & they will reimburse me The Doral Store is extremely disorganized & treat you like you are just a number I purchased the car 4/20/17 & still have not heard from the Salesman thanking me for the purchase. They are so disconnected to what Customer Service is! read more

I have no words how terrible this experience has been. First off, it took more than five and a half hours to finish up purchasing my new vehicle. Second of all, I had to fight for them to clean this vehicle..they had the sales person (poor guy) cleaning the car of the poor job they did. The excuse..it's late and there is only one guy. I'm not sure how this is a customers problem..they wanted me to bring the car back another day to detail the car..again, completely unacceptable. Why the hell would I want to waste another day at a dealership because of their incompetency. I have never seen anything like this before. If my husbands car didn't have a safety issue which we were trading in I would have left. I'm pregnant and I swear I felt like I was having contractions at the end of this process. I'm so pissed right now..it takes a lot for me to lose it but this experience pushed me to the brink. Kill me now..and while I sit here and write this review, it's now 915 pm and I still have not signed my paperwork. read more

I went to sell my vehicle. The gentlemen that helped me at first was very nice. I was given an offer that I was completely not interested in. (Beyond low) I told gentlemen that I had to go home and run it by my husband and that I would return if anything. When I got back to my car and turned it on the car was shaking and vibrating a lot. I know the car had some issue but that was not one of them. I went inside and asked to speak with appraisal person. He said that the car was doing that before, ( I know for a fact it wasn't!) I then asked to speak to manager, he said he was the manager but that he would get his manager. This guy was somewhat nice and heard me but again said that the car must have been doing that before. I asked if they were certified mechanics to be making all these assumptions and diagnosis on my vehicle at which time they said no they are not they just generalize. They beat around the bush a lot and don't seem to want to agree in a solution. Long story short, I didn't get an apology, I didn't get a reasoning besides them saying it wasn't them, I got a very poor offer, and the lack of compassion and assistance was obvious. I'm hoping to get a better offer and service at their competitor next week. I do not recommend this place. It's a waste of time. read more

This is by far the worst customer service. I had guys tell me they dont have time to talk to me because my service advisor was not available. In the 3.5 weeks he has been off like 4 days. Secondly there no supervisor they transfer the calls to each other to cover each other. I have requested to speak to a manager but his always he is to busy so I requested for the manager's manager and same thing even the GM was busy for 2 weeks in a row everyone is busy probably lying about the warranty to customers. I have has to be on top of the warranty, Carmax and the shop. and i got all different answered from the warranty and the shop and Carmax employees tell me its pending thats the favorite thing to say. WHAT I WANT IS MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND AT THIS PINT THE DEDUCTABLE WAIVED. IF NOT I WILL TURN IT BACK INTO THE CARMAX AND THEY WILL EAT THE COST OF THE REPAIRS OR THE HASSLE TO SELL IT. AND WHEN THEY DECLARE IT AS A LOST WITHIN 3 YEARS AND WRITE IT OFF GUESS WHAT SO CAN I. I lost both my jobs waiting on all parties involved with this claim. read more

OMG, just avoid. I bought a car from here a few months ago to drive it up north and to use it in winter icy roads. The sales man mentioned it was a AWD and that was what I was looking for. Bought the car after seeing the add on the screen and we were in a hurry before we left FL. The guy only showed us AWD because that is the only thing we asked for. 7 months later my car almost skidded into a ditch and couldn't move up an icy road in a undeserved medical area where I see my patients who are ill. Called car max in Doral the manager accused us of lying and the head office did NOTHING except to try to make us trade in the car with them making a buck. I ask this question in general... they are a large company and people are counting on buying cars with their life depending on these vehicles. This is a very dishonest and dirty car company. Our car is spick and span without any issues, we have no reason to waste our time to get a new car when we wanted like for like. Do not ,, I repeat DO NOT trust these dirty dishonest people. I wish one day when one of them or their loved ones meet with a crash due to another dishonest persons mistake and I will be the medical staff by their side in emergency department seeing how KARMA took its toll on them for their bloody dishonesty! THE WORST EVER. read more

My car broke down on a Thursday night, I had to get it towed and it was one of the few places where you could leave your car after hours and drop your key (most car dealerships just close their gates and you have to come during opening hours). So I thought this looks like good customer service. But so far that was the only positive aspect. 1. Called Friday early in the morning to explain the situation. They told me they might not be able to look into it the same day but would let me know. Never got a call that day (Service Dept. is not working Saturday). 2. Then I called Monday (note that nobody ever picks up the service phone - you have no choice other than to try repeatedly and leave messages) and asked for an update. Did not get one the whole day. Then at the end of the day left the service manager a voice mail. 3. Tuesday I finally get call and they tell me they will look into it and give me an estimate in the afternoon. I'm getting hopeful, lol. Of course then nobody called me and followed up. 4. Today is Wednesday. Tried repeatedly to call Service Dept. (nobody picks up) and even when you call the operator nobody picks up (note it's 11am so the place should be open). Left a message again.... 5.... story to be continued? I guess I'll just have to pick up my car, lol. Not sure if I want to trust them to fix my car really. Bottom line: I cannot tell about Selling/Buying Cars - but the overall Service and customer responsiveness is a joke. Guess will have pick up my car and go somewhere else (they only wasted almost a week of my time). read more

Went shopping for a car this weekend. Still haven't purchased and I'll tell you why. Sales people did not approach me right away and not because they weren't available, but because they just didn't care. I looked on my own on the lot a did some research on my iphone. Oh boy! 3 to 4k over other places. My search continues. read more

What a stupid joke this place is I came in looking for a new car and to get my car appraised while I was looking at cars I heard the appraisal person revving the crap out of my car and ran to it. He said that he is a professional and that is how they perform inspections. They see a sports car and they go nuts revving my car like he was 12 years old so close to beating up on the guy do not take your car they will rev the crap out of it and toss it like a bucket of junk read more

the experience of purchasing the car was pieceful. but the service center sucked 1st visit my car sat there 9hrs and only got a new right turn signal bulb rrplaced they didnt bother to do the high speed balancing that was needed. the 2nd visit i waited 4 hours and only got a new gas cap because the wrong parts were ordered. on my 3rd visit got all parts replaced was told my car was all good jump on expressway and sure enough to good to be true still no high speed balance. carmax service suuuuuuuccccckssss!!!!!!!!! read more

My husband and I just bought our second car at this Carmax dealership in Miami. We purchased a Jaguar XF, a 2014 with just 18,000 miles on it. At first, I was a bit worried about transferring the car I selected all the way from Pennsylvania, but it was a very positive experience. When hurricane Irma hit us down here in Miami, the car was kept in a safe place out of the hurricane's path states away. So after the hurricane, it was driven down to the dealership and we completed the transaction. The best part of working with Carmax was working with our salesperson, Geovanny Tapia. He knew everything about the operation of the vehicle and about how the entire transaction would work. He was by far one of the most professional sales people I've had the good fortune to meet. read more

Emely and Aleiza in the Business Office of CarMax are wonderful people. I've sold two vehicles to CarMax (Both fair deals) and I was dumb enough to leave a camera on the windshield of the 2nd car; However, Emely is a true professional as she solved the problem and found my missing gadget for me. Thanks for hiring Emely CarMax! read more

Horrible sales people they hide when you walk in .. Not real sales people working at this location.

I recently visited this location with my husband, we were both in the market to upgrade our vehicles. After spending time on their website and locating possible interests we called and made an appointment to meet with one of their sales associates. Upon our arrival we were greated at the door by Jose Morales who stayed with us all day and showed us multiple vehicles that we were interested in. Since I had just had a baby and brought him with us Jose went and located every vehicle and drove it to the show room door so we didn't have to walk the lot while carrying our son. After our purchase I noticed my vehicle had a noise in the ac (it is a used vehicle so I wasn't upset) so we called back and Mr Morales made an appointment for us immediately with the service center. We took the car back they provided me with a rental car and did majority of the leg work for me. I would definitely use them again in the future. read more

Great service, Armando did a great job with details and answered all our questions, great fast service, bought a great car at a great price

Fast, no hassle transaction, in and out in about 2 hours including test drive and financing. Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Today I came in to Carmax and wanted to purchase a brand new 2015 corvette. Adrian the sales manager made the process so easy I was in and out in less than an hour. Great place to buy a car,awesome service. read more

CarMax vehicles are excellent quality, but the CarMax service in Miami/Doral is terrible. This is the second car I have bought from them. the cars are good, but both times the cars are very dirty with no attention to detail. This time I bought a 6 year old vehicle with 13,000 miles on it. Excellent one owner vehicle, but I don't think the car was ever cleaned besides an exterior wash. The w/wipers were bad and the tires had good tread but sidewalls were all dry rotted and not safe to use. I replaced the w/wipers and put four new tires on the first week. I am still working on cleaning the vehicle a month later but it drives like a new car. So after $700.00 the first week I have an excellent vehicle. Keep in mind the CarMax cars are good but don't expect honest service, like they say you can't have everything. read more

We were in the market for a newer car and we were assisted by Norberto, thanks to him the process was smooth and easy! He listened to all our qualms and had answers to everything.
