Okay friendly sales people and since the price is set no back and forth But I purchased a wrangler I got on highway and then the death wobble, had it towed in at my own expense and they claimed to have inspected and balanced the tires two days later I had an important appointment I had to cancel because as soon as I got on highway wobble stay away from their service department Oh let me add, their sales manager Brian has zero customer service skills and is a liar don't do business here you could be driving a death trap read more

My wife and I drove up to Fresno yesterday from Bakersfield to shop for a jeep gladiator. When we arrived we waited for an open salesperson, and fortunately for us we were assigned to a young salesman...Max Snyder. He was really knowledgeable and knew how to help us. It's not often that you have such a great experience when you're trying to buy a used car. However, Max was both honest and polite, helping us through each part of the process. Ultimately, we left in the jeep gladiator we came up to see. I highly recommend both Max and CarMax Fresno to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. I'd also like to mention Sean Vinciguerra, the business operations manager. He went over and above to help me with our purchase. He's such a personable guy, and it's easy to tell that he's the type of leader that inspires his staff. read more

I bought a used car from CarMax, and it broke down on Herndon. I had to pay for a tow truck to take it to the dealership. After being fixed, my AC went out, after that was fixed, my driver side window stopped rolling up. I wasn't able to use the drive-through anymore. read more

Got an offer on my car. Made an appointment. Waited 30 mins. Asked why so long they said internal mix up. Then took car confirmed the offer. Got the payoff on the car and told me to wait and they get the deal done. After 1:20 mins a lady came out and told me that CarMax can no longer buy cars from VW or Audi. Handed me my keys and left. How is that possible? And why wasn't I told when valued the car? Inexcusable and horrible read more

They gave me a great deal on my Toyota Camry trade in. I got a car shipped from one of their locations in Nevada that took about 5 days to ship and 3 to prepare. I was able to test drive it after about 8 business days. They set up expedited pickup for the day I chose to purchase the vehicle. They gave me a thorough explanation on the condition of the vehicle I was buying and any open recalls. The salesman did not try to oversell me on their Max Care and thoroughly explained any questions I had! read more

Beware of the car you actually get. Mine was apparently from an auction. And had been totaled. Car max didn't catch. Heard noises, took in to an actual dealer. They confirmed that car was in accident and they couldn't let me leave with it like that for safety. Towed car back to car max. They made it right in end. Helped me find another car that I took to an actual dealership who gave approval. I ended up loving the car I got in the end. Wish I could trust the process of buying a car fr them. Because the process was so easy. read more

Purchased our family car about a month ago now, had the vehicle inspected by third party with no issues found. I was pleased with how streamline the process was and it was very informal and as stress free as it could be. We were helped by Pierre and he seemed an honest dude. Any big purchase can be stressful, but so far, we are happy with the vehicle. read more

Okay...pretty straight forward my wife Hates car lots so I found what she wanted and explained this to the salesperson, First the unit was filthy even though they said it had been detailed so the salesperson said for me to let her run it into detail and get it redone, so I left and came back and the unit had not been touched even though the salesperson said she put it into detail, so she got a manager out to show him and he told me if we bought it that they would give me a $400.00 discount to take it and get it detailed, I took it and showed it to my wife she liked it and so I went back and told them it would be a cash deal to them as we were going through the Credit Union so we made an appointment for the next day at 5:30 pm and the salesperson asked me to send a copy of wifes drivers License and a copy of our Ins and I included a copy of the loan approval and we were putting down $10k and the salesperson said she worked the next day and she would get everything set as I honestly and my Too don't like the 4 hour waiting to get things done so I wanted to have the paperwork ready for us...A simple deal for them! Well the next day I did not hear back from the salesperson and she never answered my texts or phone calls, So to save trouble I went in to see were we were at on the timeline....Well the salesperson was off and nothing to that point had been done so I asked for a Mgr and got some young gal who wanted to talk more than listen...I explained everything at least twice and she then turned me over to another salesperson and so I explained the whole deal to him and now we are delaying everything till the next day.....which is fine and so they said being as how everything is pretty basic that they would put us on the fast track and made an appointment for 3 the next day! Well we came in with a loan check from the Credit Union and a Cashiers check for the down drawn on the same credit union, now mind you I am 77 and my wife is 66 so we are not young criminals trying to defraud a dealership for a used truck! They said they had to verify the cashiers check and they wanted my wifes account# so they could verify that their were enough funds to cover the check? The cashiers check is drawn on the Credit union acct and the credit union pulls the money out of your checking once it is cashed, My wife told them you don't need to see how much money is in my acct that is private info and if your dumb enough to have to verify the CASHIERS Check then call the credit union, they insisted that they had to verify the money by looking into her acct and my wife said absolutely not and if that is your process then NO SALE and they said it was and we left. I give CARMAX A MINUS 10 FOR STUPIDITY...I was in that Business for over 50 years and had never seen such stupidity! read more

Paid to have a car delivered so I could potentially buy it. They set up an appointment for me to come in to view/ drive at 11. Only problem- nobody is available to assist. At 11:20 still nothing and a manager doesn't bother to check on the situation. Must have too much business as you chose to lose mine. There is no reason to waste anyone's time like that. Management needs to do better or be replaced. Qualified buyer- GONE! read more

After reading all the reviews, I wish I would've looked here before I actually went there. My sales guy was the best. I'm going to try and talk him into going elsewhere... they don't deserve him!! What a horrible company as a whole. Never in my life had I been sc3ewed over until I came here. They have the scum of the earth working for them. The service department will lie to your face and will half as the repairs and will say issues were caused by outside influence. The corporate office has no backbone and is of no help, as they will believe the lies of the service department. I brought my car in at the beginning of summer, and it's now the end, and nothing has been fully repaired. They just glue stuff on and clip the parts on and call it a day instead of doing the right thing. I finally picked up today and just decided to go elsewhere instead of wasting my time. On my way home the bumper lip fell off and started to drag. I told them this would happen, so now I am looking at a bigger issue as a whole now, as they will not help out. I will make sure to report them to the proper channels and contact my local council member to report this sh@dy dealership. In conclusion: PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE IN, PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T COME HERE. They are dishonest and will lure you in by promising you everything. That's until the 10 days are up, and then after that you're on your own. read more

My husband and I would come to check out their inventory. We would come pretty often so often some works would already recognize us. As you enter there's a counter where a worker greets you and asks how they can assist you. We usually just tell them we're browsing and we walk out to the parking lot. The past 2 recent visits we had my car apprised we didn't have an appointment so we were placed on the waiting list. This place can get busy so sometimes getting an appointment is best. The first time we waited about 45mins to get helped the second time it was about 10. The workers that had helped the past few times had been nice. We were happy with the amount we got my car appraised for special since the amount was wasn't changed after 2 months of my last appraisal. We went else where to get a trade in but my experience so far has been good. They have many selections to cars to choose from. They supposedly have no haggle pricing. Most cars on the lot comes with the fact sheets about the car and price. They allow customers to test drive but of course there is a wait if you don't have an appointment. read more

CarMax - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Fresno, California

I tried to sell my 93 year old fathers truck to them with a notarized power of attorney and was rejected. They said they needed a form from the DMV with his signature notarized - note that the DMV doesn't require notarization for a vehicle poa. He's incapacitated in an assisted living facility, he can't sign anything now and that's why several years ago he created a trust and created the poa, the attorney said it would be more than sufficient for this situation. Carmax is making up their own rules, and ignoring legal forms while requiring forms from the State of CA to be notarized when it isn't required. They are discriminating against the elderly, insisting on signed and notarized forms from incapacitated car owners. Selling to them seemed to be a simple solution to dispose of his vehicle but they've created insurmountable hurdles, clearly creating a very bad experience while hiding behind the difficulty in dealing with the DMV. read more

I had this car transferred from Modesto to Fresno on one condition. That there was no rust underneath since it came from Wisconsin. I was told there wasn't any. I bought it then took it to Subaru in SLO for an inspection. They found rust that they said would cost $10,000 to $15,000 to repair. I returned the car to Fresno and Freddy, the sales manager said that the rust should have been caught and that it was a one off mistake. They just put it back on the lot for $1,000 off. read more

Sold several cars to this CarMax location - always a smooth transaction and great people.

My husband and I love CarMax. The last 4 cars we've bought have been through CarMax. Yes, their prices are higher than a dealership but you don't have to deal with salespeople. read more

The service department is incompetent. My car should have came with a jack and compatible lug nut wrench. When I went to pick up the parts I was the only one there. I asked if they could take it out of the box and set it in the designated area in the trunk. They refused. When I opened the box at home....no lug nut wrench. How are you suppose to jack up the jack? The idiot who supposedly is the manager stated that the jack doesn't come with it. Hello...that's because you didn't order the kit. Never again....and neither should you! read more

Wish I never bought my car here. First car I've ever bought off a "lot" I go to pick up my vehicle I purchased the next day, so they can get it ready. The driver visor which was done when I test drove it, was broken. And not not even ONE year, the battery is completely dead af, I pay for theaxcare, batteries aren't covered. Never have I ever had a battery issue from the vehicles I've owned that I've bought off the "street" from random ass people. I have a second vehicle that I bought off offer up and that battery is still fine! I am still waiting for the email with the battery test they said they did on the battery prepurchase also. Tons of stories about CarMax selling lemon vehicles and I wish I would've listened to those stories. BUYERS BEWARE read more

My son sat there for over 6 hours to buy his first car. After saying he was approved and an agreed down payment amount was made, they turned around and said he needed more money down for his down payment! I bought my car there 2 years ago and another vehicle before that...but we will never go back! Waste of time and patience! Skip CarMaxx!!!!!! read more

If you're looking for a great salesperson ask for Adnan. He did a wonderful job answering our questions & setting up the test drives. He checked in on us at the perfect time & was never pushing. He would ask us questions & helped us find the perfect vehicle. Thank you Adnan for your help. Buying a vehicle is never fun but you made it enjoyable. read more

Kinda weird process in my eyes. Before they'll even tell you if they have any of the make/model you're looking for, they appraise the vehicle you drove on to the lot. OK, I'm curious, not that I was really planning on trading my Rav4 in. I'm looking for a play car, a C6 Corvette and wanted to check out an actual car. So, I sit down with a nice girl (5 stars for Artikar) and she starts collecting information. After she got what she needed, she asked for the keys for the appraiser. We then headed out to the lot. She had checked inventory on her computer and didn't come up with ANY Corvettes. She did say sometimes there may be some on the lot, even if they don't show on the computer. Surprise, there were ZERO actual Corvettes on the lot. So now I'm waiting for the appraised value of my car before I can be on my way. At least I'll have an offer, should I decide to let loose of the Rav4. Artikar told me to have a seat in the waiting area, so here I sit. A few minutes later, I was given back my keys and an offer for my RAV4. Turned out all OK, as I actually ended up trading in the RAV4, and the dealership in Roseville matched the offer I had been given at CarMax. read more

CarMax - Maybe you'll find your car here... - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Fresno, California

If I could give negative stars I would. Was scammed into a vehicle and after 3 months car breaks down. I was talked into the warranty that does no good when you can't get anybody to reach out to dealerships or warranty places to get anything down. At this point I feel like my car was stolen from Me. It's been sitting at dodge dealership for over 2 weeks nowZ they have ruined my Christmas.. what was the point of getting the warranty if you guys are still gonna try and pinpoint the failure to my wrong doing.. when the vehicle was new TO ME. I have the paperwork showing the walk around and everything was done. But yet here we are. Big scam from CarMax dodge dealership and the max care warranty.. very displeased with how I have been treated PS CARMAX WILL GET MY OHONE NUMBER AND INFORMATION AND OUT ME ON HOLD BECAUSE THEY ARE TIRED OF DEALING WITH ME. And after about 10 mins it goes to voicemail.. but 20 mins after I walk in the place there are all huddle at the desk looking over my info and waiting for me. I wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing another vehicle with you guys. Mind you my family has had bad experiences both times they have tried to get a vehicle with them. There new stoppage of max care work done at there store is ridiculous that was only to cover there asses for awhile. The first week of my car being down I was repeatedly told we don't do max care here after 90 days.. buuuuut if you ask them now they are working on trying to get max care work down back at there site.. how convenient only now that does not help me. Will not be getting another vehicle from them. read more

Zero stars would be more accurate for this organization. I had an awful experience with them today and want to discourage potential customers from having to endure the same so I am copying an email I sent to their representative, Riley Luce. I will be posting this message anywhere on the internet I think it may do potential customers some good. Riley; Apparently no one in your store is any more interested in retaining a long term customer than you are. I responded to your earlier message regarding my scheduled appointment for today almost immediately, said I was available for the conversation you requested and would be until 9:15. Not only did I not get a call/text but neither did I get any explanatory message. I drove 30 minutes to my 11:30 appointment and got there 5 minutes early. When I went to check in I was told I had no appointment. I explained the situation to whoever was at the desk and was told I could wait if I wanted but there were four people in front of me. Despite my anger about the mishandling of my appointment I agreed to wait for awhile. After 35 minutes I went back to the desk and spoke with another employee who told me that rather than doing something to ameliorate the situation I was told that I had simply been relisted as a "walk in". When I asked to speak to the manager I was told he was busy. When I asked for an email address or a phone number where he could be reached I was told there were none available. at that store and that I should try getting the information from CarMax headquarters. At this point I told the employee to cancel the appointment and that I would be spending the rest of my day posting my woeful tale everywhere I could find on the internet and would be forwarding this message to that same headquarters. At no time, from the very beginning of this mess, did anyone I spoke with offer to do anything to expediate my wait time. Just for the record, I have purchased three cars from CarMax in the past several years as well as selling them one of my own. Obviously I won't in a hurry to deal with CarMax again and I will do anything I can do dissuade any family or friends from making the same mistake I did.. I had my own business for more than 30 years and in that time I learned that there was nothing more valuable to a business than customer loyalty. Due to your negligence as well the others CarMax has now lost one. read more

Not worth going here. Staff is not friendly nor helpful. Came here to sell my car, and I know it wasn't going to be a "high" offer nor great offer. I still gave it a chance, yet they go out of their way to say lots of BS to say your car is broken so they can give you an offer so low it's basically them robbing you of your car. SMH I didn't want to believe the YouTube videos but guess it's all true. I would've understood if the car had actual issues but having them make up issues and not even talking to me directly is just shameful. read more

Do not buy a car from here! My car has had a laundry list of problems since the day I pulled off the car lot. They fixed a few of the problems within the 30 day warranty, but then a lot of the other problems happened right after the 30 days. From EXTREME engine problems SUCH AS CYLINDERS MISFIRING, AND THE DRIVETRAIN SYSTEM BEING MESSED UP, to minor problems, such as the sunroof not closing, interior lights not working, and everything in between. My car leaks a tremendous amount of oil, to where I have to put 2 quarts in every few weeks. Two of the tires on the car had already gone flat, and Carmax didn't put a spare tire or rim in the back of the car trunk compartment!!!! I was completely stranded with my son in the middle of nowhere!!!! Today I just had to replace the spark plugs and get a brand new battery!!! but of course I couldn't start my car on the way there. I had to get it jumped to be able to get it to be repaired. I've only had this car a short while. It should not be having this many problems. I'm going to look into California lemon laws now because I can't believe that I was sold this car for $10,000 OVER what the KBB value is!!! read more

Readers Digest version of a stressful experience. Our first salesman, Carlos, added $2K for an extended warranty, after he was told three times, once in writing, that we didn't want it. Fast forward to the day we got a text saying we can do an express checkout the next day, we responded and told him what time we would be there. there was no communication from him after that. We drove an hour to get there and Carlos wasn't there and we were told we could not take our car. The one and only reason why I gave them three stars is because Lucy stepped in and resolved the issue, did all the paperwork and everything else Carlos should have done. It Thank you Lucy. read more

The name you need to know is Ofelia. Although I did not purchase a car from her, if I were in the market for a new car, she would have def gotten the sale.

Shes amazing! read more

I have had a terrible experience at this Car Max, we weren't serviced properly. We had a car in mind and went in to inquire about it. We even had money to put down but were given the run around, I was promised a car and had a price locked in, in order to afford the car I had in mind I had to sell the car I currently had. The car I wanted ended up having several issues and I was without a car... wouldn't not trust this car lot. Bad service and poor communication. I felt discriminated the entire visit. I don't recommend I fully recommend going to an official dealer or a smaller lot with better pricing and better customer service. read more

I hate car salesman but when I talked to Karl Dolphin about a Land Rover I was interested in, that I saw in website but in another town, he was so good to talk to and made everything so easy and stress free. He had the Land Rover transferred to Fresno and when the car arrived, he called and set me up to get drive the vehicle. Talk about STRESS FREE no pushing me to buy the car he was very informative about the vehicle and best thing I like is that if he didn't know something he would say he didn't know but would find out.. Karl was awesome we got the Land Rover 4. And when it's time for another car, we will be going to CarMax and we will be calling Karl.. read more

Warranty is a scam and now I'm left with a busted car and no support from Car Max Fresno I purchased an "extended" warranty on a Dodge Grand Caravan 2017, already with 60k miles on it. I thought the warranty covered 100k miles that I would add to that, but the cut off is AT 100k. The pandemic happened, which means I didn't drive it for almost two years. I've begun driving it again, and the transmission has completely gone out. My car is currently only a few thousand over the max mileage and they told me that even one mile over 100k would cancel the warranty I am now stranded in Los Angeles with no car and absolutely not enough money to replace the transmission. I was told by the warranty office to call my Fresno CarMax and ask if there is an option to purchase another extension for the "extended" warranty, and there is no option for that. When I asked if there was any other support CarMax could provide to a reliable customer (this is my second car with them) they told me no. It sucks because I love my van but I feel that they are putting me through a loop with no solutions. Do not do business with this company. Their used cars are not reliable. And do not purchase a warranty - they are a scam. read more

From the moment I got my car I have had nothing but problems!! They do not care about you or giving good service after you finish the process of purchase. They are so rude if you have any problems. The air bags randomly went off in my car a little over a year after I bought the car and they keep giving me the run around. Plus they told me the car has never been in an accident which was a lie! I'm paying payments on a car I can't drive and no one will help me! read more

MICHAEL SALASSSS !!!!! He is the man! alright, let me break it down, walked in with no expectations. And they were met ten fold. They gave me exactly what I was quoted online for my camero with over 200k miles in it. And when I did it online I low balled myself not knowing all the info about my car and I expected way less in person than what I was quoted online and NOPE gave me what I was quoted and I was THRILLED. I mean hey big Bertha is almost a quarter million miles old so I was happy with ANY $$ trade in. So long long story short, I found a truck I was super happy with and everything went smooth. Michael was honest, transparent, made sure I fully understood the contract, etc etc. It was such great experience I went to the manager and let him know how awesome Michael was. Anywho, I highly recommend this location and if you can work with my boy Michael I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

They have a decent selection of used cars not very many trucks though. Over all experience we were satisfied. read more
