Walked in with no appointment as my son was buying his first car. We even left snd came back and they remembered us! Everyone (and I truly mean everyone) we came across today were so nice! Robert was our sales associate and he was so patient with us as its was already getting pretty late. My son was happy with his purchase and said it was a great experience.

I came into CarMax today to assist my parents in selling their car to CarMax. For the most part, CarMax is one of the places to sell you car if you do not want to go through the private seller process. If you do a trade-in at the dealer, you will not get much, but CarMax will generally give you a much higher and reasonable price on your car. As for buying a car, the prices are generally a little higher than if you shop around and haggle with a used car dealer. The price for buying a car is firm. The nice thing about buying at CarMax is that they do fully detail their cars and do full inspections/servicing of their cars prior to putting on the lot to sell. Today, we had a good experience. My sister had scheduled the appointment on the wrong day, but fortunately they weren't busy yet and there was only 1 person ahead of us. Everyone we dealt with in this process were very nice. I did take 1 star off due to the selling process took a little longer at this location. I have sold 2 other cars personally at 2 different locations and the selling process took less steps and was a little faster. From the time they started the appraisal process to the time we got the check took about 45 minutes.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience purchasing a car from this dealership. I bought my…read morevehicle here and in less than 5 months it already needed a complete transmission replacement and it had a pretty big oil leak so I had to replace also the oil valve. When I contacted the dealership, Sajjaad told me that "with used cars, these things can happen" and claimed he had no idea the car was in poor condition. This was especially upsetting because I made it clear that I was buying this car to safely commute with my baby -- this wasn't a luxury; it was a necessity. When I brought the car back to him, he personally drove it and quickly called me to say "there are no issues." I insisted he drive it longer, and only then did he finally admit that the transmission was failing. He also told me, "you never know how long a used car will last." If someone selling you a car said that to you on the day of the sale, would you feel confident buying it? No one would -- and no buyer should accept that excuse after the fact. I want to be fair and say that Sajjaad appeared to be a nice man at first, but after my experience and after seeing multiple other reviews reporting the same issue -- needing new transmissions right after purchase -- it is impossible for me to believe he isn't aware of what he's selling. The pattern speaks for itself. It feels clear that he is knowingly selling vehicles that are at the end of their life. He offered to "help" by sending me to the autobody shop next door, where they replaced the transmission and "reduced" the labor cost. Not only was the job done poorly, but they failed to code the new transmission, which is an essential part of the repair. I then had to take the car to a specialized shop in San Francisco and pay even more money to finish the job correctly. The specialized shop provided diagnostic proof that the transmission was never coded -- meaning the work I paid for was incomplete and unsafe. This was not just a car for me. It was the only way I could commute to daycare with my infant. To take advantage of people in situations like mine is not only unacceptable -- it feels deeply inhumane. I trusted this business with my savings and my child's safety, and they completely failed me. I strongly advise others to STAY FAR AWAY from this dealership. The part I purchased on my own--due to understandable mistrust at this point--is not the issue. It's also important to note that They were the ones who y directed me to the store where I bought the part, as it's the same place they normally use. Below, I've attached the photos showing the faulty codes that confirm the necessary programming/coding was not done correctly.

The dealership not only seemed very honest, he also educated me on some rights that I have as a…read moreused car buyer from a dealership that I wasn't aware. He also let me know where a different dealership from a previous used car purchase failed to follow law so I am informed in the future. It's only been a few days but my wife and I enjoyed the buying experience and have enjoyed the car thus far. I would buy for Cherry Downtown Motor in the future.

The best car buying experience I have ever had by far! Entire process from initial contact to…read morereceiving my car was frictionless and effortless. Excellent communication, service, and timely replies. I received a significant discount on the OTD price, even when including the BuySide Auto fee. On top of that, I NEVER had to step into a dealership, talk to a salesperson directly, spend hours playing the "let me ask my manager" game, or have to talk to a Finance manager and repeatedly say NO to unnecessary options. All communication was easily done through email and text, although phone and in-person contact was also available. Process starts with completing a convenient online request. From there, Kim contacted me to fully understand my wishlist, range of optional requirements, and any non-negotiables. After reaching out to their dealer network, within a day she provided a list of potential matches with estimated OTD prices, which included some in SoCal available for transfer to the Bay Area and cars still in production with estimated availability dates. I had a lot of questions and some requests and Kim was very responsive and instrumental in relaying them to the dealer and advocating for me. Even my request to remove all dealer installed options was negotiated by Kim and granted by the dealer with no hassle on my end. I paid the BuySide Auto fee to reserve the car for purchase and when the car was available I opted to pickup at their office in SF. Home delivery to SF is also currently no charge, while delivery outside of the city is available with a modest fee. Upon first contact, I asked if weekend pickup or delivery was available, since their normal hours are on weekdays. Kim made note of it and remembered my preference even after the sale was completed. Chris was able to make himself available for Saturday pickup! We took a walk around the car took a look inside. We spent no more than 10 minutes reviewing and signing paperwork, received my keys, and I was off with my brand new car! Both Kim and Chris were great to work with and I have no hesitation in working with them again for future car purchases.

Chris was an excellent resource and provided me with too shelf service in buying a new Mini. Super…read morepatient, very responsive and provided a seamless experience. Absolutely worth it.
