Wish I can give 0 stars. I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience with Jose at CarMax Ft. Myers was incredibly disappointing. My fiancé and I came in ready to purchase a vehicle with a signed PSECU AutoDraft in hand. The only complication was that the co-signer was out of state. We were repeatedly told by Jose that there was "nothing we could do" unless we financed through CarMax. He claimed their e-sign system had been down for a month and insisted our only option was to switch financing. Not wanting to give up our 5% credit union loan without exploring other options, we left and started making calls ourselves. To our surprise, another CarMax location in Naples immediately offered solutions, including remote e-signatures and even FedExing documents if needed. That was incredibly frustrating to hear after being told so definitively that there were no alternatives. It made us feel like our outside financing wasn't being respected and that we were being pushed toward CarMax financing instead. As a pregnant customer trying to secure a safe family vehicle before our baby arrives, this experience added unnecessary stress to an already emotional and time-sensitive purchase. We understand policies exist, but the lack of effort to explore solutions or advocate for us was disappointing. I hope CarMax Ft. Myers better trains its staff on available options for customers using outside financing, because no customer should have to call another location to receive the help and answers they should have been given in the first place. read more

One of the worst experiences ever at a car dealership. Assistant manager clearly suffering from "small man syndrome" stepped in and killed an opportunity to trade in a really nice vehicle for a truck. Unbelievable that he didn't even bother to check with his GM to try and accommodate me for the transaction. I'll be sure and let everyone I know how horrible the FT MYERS CARMAX treats potential customers. read more

The people were OK, but I felt it was a production line and that there was no empathy to the people selling their cars. I had put on new batteries, new tires and they only wanted to give me a token of what they even cost. I think they think they can take advantage of women, but not this one. read more

Save yourself the headache of dealing with this company, they have no clue how to treat a customer, and they have no idea what they're doing. Walk and don't run. We sold a vehicle to them, they overpayed our finance company and promised us a prompt refund. 7 1/2 weeks later we are still ghosted. RUN!! read more

Una toral basura Este Carmax no solo engaña a sus clientes, cuando sacas el carro de ahí, dejaste de existir. Los carros NO sirven y NO se hacen responsables por ningún daño. Sacas appointment para hablar con un manager y NO te atienden. Cada problema que le planteas NO tiene que ver con ellos, a los que le compraste el carro. Te mandan a hablar con sus departamentos, 5,6,7, 8 números de teléfono distintos y nadie sabe nada y ninguno resuelve nada porque te dicen que tienen que hablar con su superior. Estuve 9 meses esperando que la garantía que me vendieron, autorizara a cambiarle el motor a mi carro y ahora, un año después, de nuevo lo mismo y sigo pagando un carro que se rompe cada 30 mil millas. MAL NEGOCIO SIN DUDA ALGUNA. "GRACIAS POR SER EL PEOR LUGAR PARA COMPRAR CARROS. GRACIAS POR TENER LOS EMPLEADOS MÁS INEPTOS E INEFICIENTES Y GRACIAS POR COMPORTARSE COMO LO QUE SON, UNOS DELINCUENTES RESPALDADOS POR SUS MÚLTIPLES DEPARTAMENTOS" read more

Returning a leased immaculate Tiguan after 39 months we opted to sell it before its last month. CarMax gave us the best quote by far. VW was playing games & low balled us- 25% below CarMax's Kelly BB offer. We had lessons to learn- 1) to sell a leased vehicle one must pay it off to obtain clear title & get best return. 2) Carmax wont accept it for sale unless title is at least 30 days old. 3). So we continued overlapping insurance n garaged it even after we received a new leased Rav-4 a month earlier than anticipated. 4) Our net reward- $6000+ better than VW's original low ball. They counter offered later- but too late, they lost a customer. The HEROES- CarMax's staff. Professional n punctual. Their final appraisal was the same $ that they had provided 6 weeks earlier. We walked out check in hand. ADVICE- start early n know what you want. We utilized COSTCO's buying program n received $700 credit when most dealers were not dickering. Be flexible on upgrades, read more

We bought a third car and never drive our BMW X3. It's not that we didn't love it, we just don't drive as much. We both work from home and our big adventure now is a 3 mile trip to Publix. So we decided to sell the SUV. Mind you a car that just sat in the air conditioned garage. A car I just had ceramic coated. A car that literally doesn't have a ding or dent anywhere. And miles do low I'm embarrassed to even mention. It's cherry. This is our third car over the years we sold to Carmax. Again, such a smooth process. Gabrielle helps us and we were out of there in about 20 minutes. If you want a fair price and a stress free process--check out Carmax. read more

See all

I want to start of by saying, thank you SO much Brandon, Lily and Victoria for helping buy my vehicle. You all had exceptional costumer service and it was a pleasure. We were not rushed at all or pushed into the decision. We decided the car wasn't for us and David the manager assisted in trying to search for an another option but it wasn't the right time for us. They didn't make us feel bad at all. Thank you so much Carmax. We promise if we're in the market again you guys will be the first to see us. I apologize for the time used up on us and appreciate your understanding. read more

My hubby and I have dealt with CarMax multiple times. CarMax has bought 3 cars from us over the years. Alexa was awesome! She made sure everything was all set for us signing papers and all. CarMax has always given us the highest price possible on our vehicles. You can't beat the professionalism, fairness and ease that Alexa showed us. We highly recommend this awesome company and Alexa. read more

Absolutely horrendous, title lost between three cities, Fort Myers staff had no clue as to what to do as a resolve , endless phone calls made across the country to get answers , sales guy in fort myers calling my wife's personal phone number , an hour of a string of lies and deceat in person at the fort myers location, sales guy stressed that they only had two good mechanics Never been so discussed with a car company read more

Terrible. Scheduled a test drive Friday night for a 2019 Q50. Nice easy process to do so. Scheduled for 2pm on Sunday and arrived around 2:20. I did message the sales rep that we were running late but no response. I checked in up front and we sat down and waited. After 40 minutes of waiting went up to the desk and asked how much longer and the gentleman said about another 15 minutes and we would receive a text message from the salesman. The gentleman said we could go out and look at the car. Thankfully the car was unlocked. But dirty. Grimy spots inside and needed at least a basic wipe down (on the inside). Not mention I saw 2 ants in the vehicle. After waiting another 20 minutes, my family and I had enough and left. And to this time, I'm STILL waiting to hear from them. Big waste of time. read more

Great staff, great selection, great prices and financing. My wife and I were looking for a used vehicle and CarMax was definitely the right place to go. No haggle pricing, extended warranty options, and nationwide service centers. We were a walk in and although appointments are strongly recommended they were able to fit us in with a rep who was patient and thorough. Although we are not moving forward at the moment, when we are in the market for a used car this is where we will go. read more

Went in to car max to see about trading in my car for an upgrade. When we arrived we went to the lot and found the Mitsubishi Outlander that I had been looking at online for a few weeks. I test drove it and it ran so smooth! I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Jeff P. He really made the car buying process so easy and quick for us! We have a 14 month old son, and he gets antsy FAST. Jeff was there entertaining him and talking to him the whole time. We were in and out of Carmax with my new car in about 4 hours flat! Thank you Jeff! We will back to get my husband a new car soon. read more

On 11-19-2020 We went in search of a new car since our car was totaled in an accident. No one bothered us as we walked around looking at the car we thought fit our price point, mileage and make and model of what we had planned on. After seeing one that fit tight into our budget we inquired about it. The salesman Kevin was so helpful. Things are done very differently today due to covid-19 and they took every precaution necessary, wearing masks the whole time and had hand sanitizers everywhere. We test drove the car and there was a noise in the front. As soon as I mentioned this to Kevin he was right on it. Went for management and took it directly to the garage to have it looked at. It turned out one tire was a bit low on air however they did a full front end alignment just to cover all bases. The car came back noise free. Since we already had financing in place this went extremely smooth. I will definitely come back here again and do business. Lastly, they closed at 9 pm. They stayed until our paper work was complete and we were in our car before closing up for the night which ended up being close to 10 pm or a little after. They just went above and beyond their job and for that I thank them. I felt like I was given the royal treatment and after all the stress that many of us are feeling, it felt good to have some one treat you like you really mattered and they did just that. Thank you Kevin and Sean!! You's were amazing and thank you for your kind word. Sincerely, Krista Fischer read more

CarMax - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Ft. Myers, Florida

First salesman that I dealt with wasn't very knowledgeable. Fine, no big deal. 2nd salesman, however, was completely rude. Acted outright offended that I refused to buy an overpriced car. The markup was about 500 more than I could've bought brand new from the dealer with a complete warranty instead of 2 years. They do not negotiate at all. And on top of that, you will pay a much higher interest through whatever banks they use as they will tack on an additional 3-5% interest rate to fatten their already deep pockets. In good conscience I can not recommend unless you absolutely need a car and can't secure financing elsewhere. Lucky for me I have much better financing and I don't really need a car at the moment. read more

Just had a great experience selling my car to Carmax. I went online and they gave me a quote. I liked the amount offered and made an appointment to sell it. I was at Carmax for less than 45 minutes and I had a check in hand. It couldn't have went any better. read more

Everything was wonderful during my purchase but now call response from Finance Dept/is INCREDULOUS---15 MIN HOLD-- I did auto payoff today by going in person and was not given clean title called IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THROUGH finally someone called me back and said they could not help me I would not get title for up to 10 - 15 days read more

Great business, stood behind their online quote to the penny...very smooth business transaction.

Reserved a vehicle with an appointment to purchase (this actually happened twice in one day) and they sold the vehicle out from underneath me. Then they had the nerve to refuse to sell me a vehicle because it was on hold! read more

CarMax - The vehicle was on hold and they sold it! - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Ft. Myers, Florida

I have just one thing to say about this CarMax experience. It was the easiest auto transaction I have ever had in my life. I went online and put in my vin number, identified a few more accessories on the car and was given a price that CarMax would pay for the car. I then made an appointment to sell the car. On arrival, there is a QR code outside the door that lets the business office know you are there and to bring up your paperwork. Identified myself and was asked to wait while they looked the car over. Not only did they pay the quoted price, they gave me $200 more than the offer because I had missed an accessory. Signed a punch of papers, was handed a check, I texted a ride share and away we went to deposit the check in the bank. Sweet! I recommend at least trying the online service so that you can get a ballpark on your car. I did some research beforehand and was very pleased with what they offered. Check it out. You can always walk away if you don't like the deal. No pressure. read more

I bought a car one year ago and really feel under appreciated as a customer. I bought the car two hours away from where I live because I wanted to purchase a car that had hopefully not enduring damage from Hurricane Ian which hit us a few months prior. So I drove to Bradenton. I live in Cpe coral. The closest carmax is fort Myers. I've got an 2018 outback Subaru and 75k miles, it was prob time for tuneup. Wanted to talk to a mechanic about some other engine issues I was experiencing and the receptionist absolutely would not allow me to talk to anyone with questions about the engine over the phone. She said the only way I could "maybe" talk to a mechanic would be to schedule a visit. Getting a tuneup could potentially cost $2k, and I like to do stuff myself or thru friends when I can, and all I wanted to do was ask some questions to someone who knew stuff about my car or cars in general. Anyway - super disappointing and horrible customer service and I never scheduled an appointment. I almost rather go to Subaru and pay $250+ /hr for labor alone rather than deal with that chic again. Thx read more

Wbyceiydbo is in full effect here. The fort Myers location has it going on! Your appraisal should take about 15-20 minutes. Someone takes your car, takes a bunch of pictures and sends it to a senior buyer online. Someone will review it from anywhere. It's a cool, slick, and quick process. You won't be disappointed in my opinion as long as you have a similar experience. I can't help if your experience is longer. lol WE did have to wait a long time for the check. The cashier forgot about us. Bummer. We were at the place about 1 hour and 20 minutes in total. It should have been much less, but as I said the cashier forgot about us. Our sales guy was Mark! Even though he roots for the St. Louis Blues, he is still a great guy in my book. Once we need a new car, we are calling mark! Oh yeah, hey Mark, Go Rangers! Thanks for a great experience Mark! read more

This is the best experience with a car dealership I have ever had. Thank you Elliot! He went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and gave me an amazing appraisal value on my vehicle without pushing me to buy anything. He showed me other vehicle options that were available on their lot in a way that put no pressure to buy but opened my mind to other makes and models. We had a great conversation, and I can honestly say that I ENJOYED spending time in this dealership... You don't hear that often! Do yourself and bank account a favor: use carmax for any vehicle needs. read more

Make the buying process easy, but if not on them with what's wrong with the car, day 91 they gonna say nope. Regret. All the mgmt. in this location need to see consumer side of things. Word of mouth and subpar service really are true. Do yourself a favor and try Carvana. read more

DO NOT go here for service. Technician Dallas Cawthorn will overcharge you. Go to Tuffy or Firestone instead

Thank you to Gabe for helping us trade in a Nissan and purchase a Toyota in January. He was patient, knowledgeable and personable. There was no pressure and he helped us through the whole process. Jose and Wendy also were helpful and friendly. About a month after purchasing (you have 30 days to return the car) I was surprised to receive a check from CarMax for overpayment of registration. We had previously sold a car to CarMax because they gave a much higher appraisal than the dealer, so we definitely recommend them. Ask for Gabe Castro! read more

Didn't mind waiting in line for some one to help my wife and I. After walking out into the lot I found two cars I wanted to test drive. We are also buying an investment property that closes in a couple of days. So after the 30 minute wait I was excited to drive and call our insurance company to see rates. SETH the little kid working there was legit a huge douche bag. Because we told him we couldn't take home the car until five days he then said oh all the cars I wanted to drive we're on hold. When I told him hey man can we work with some one else. He said yup go ahead and wait over there. Slammed his hands on the desk and walked away! We have a very large following online due to our profession and had to make a negative story post on them. Anyways, Carmax at Cape Coral is a wayyyy better Carmax. :) moral of the story don't go here. And don't work with the little boy Seth. read more

I had a great experience here buying my new used Kia Soul! All the employees were very helpful especially Ricardo who was the one that helped me purchase the car. They were able to answer questions and help me in the process understand everything about purchasing a car and the car itself. I really appreciated the teamwork they portrayed and the advice to help me get into the best car for me! Definitely have been and will continue to recommend people to this store! read more

CarMax - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Ft. Myers, Florida

This place is a typical car dealership bunch con artists. They sold my grandma a car not even a year ago 10 months to be exact, a 2018 Nissan Versa with 27000 miles. The car was rigged just to sell, it has been NOTHING but issues, she has paid over $3000 in fixing the damages from this junk. Totally and completely took advantage of a senior citizen. She has no note on this vehicle paid in full cash up front, took the car back and they said the salesman Doug Sage has "retired' and no longer works there and there is nothing they can do. The car has been beat on by the previous owner, i don't even believe these are the original miles. $14,000 down the drain. After replacing the 02 sensor, the rear wheel bearing, and other misc issues the car officially died yesterday morning in the driveway. STAY FAR AWAY from these con men, they saw a senior and wanted the sale anyway they could!!! read more

Sales associate Yoandy, business manager Javier, and general manager Ryan made this deal work during the time Wells Fargo has its shutdown in February 2019 and my finance balance could not be determined. It was as close to old school business with a handshake that one could get. Excellent and professional service that's hard to come by. Fantastic work and kudos to the team at Carmax Fort Myers! read more

My initial visit was typical, the second visit there was a few major issues with my vehicle sale. But Jose and the manager Kevin quickly jumped in and got everything sorted with my mustang sale. Jose is probably the best sales associate I've dealt with so far even spite the issues with the initial sale he was able to jump right in and get every issue deferred. I'm now happily leaving with the amount I wanted. I docked 1 star for the initial hiccups and complications. But I highly recommend seeing Jose or Kevin. Thanks again guys i appreciate it a lot. read more

We traded in a vehicle and purchased a vehicle here. It was going to take a few hours to get paperwork together and we had somewhere to be so we left and came back an hour and a half later to sign. We were told it would be very quick but took nearly 2 hours. The next day we got a call that we had a few more papers to sign and it'll be very quick... I had to leave work early and we drove over an hour there and it took nearly 2 hours again. The next day they call me again and say they forgot ANOTHER paper I had to sign... so here we are about to drive over an hour yet again to sign more papers they forgot or did wrong. I'll never buy from a CarMax again this whole process has been so frustrating. read more

Called and reserved a car. Got there told the wait was 15 minutes, ended up waiting an hour. More than one worker got done helping another customer and went sit down and didn't even bother to ask if I was already assisted. Decided they didn't need my service, so I got up and left. Will not be returning. read more

Came in to sell my vehicle. I waited for 2 hours. They lowered the price twice and seems like they were doing me this huge favor. The car was in GREAT shape so I'm not sure why the F took so long but it became frustrating. read more

I'll give CarMax four stars and not five and here's why. We traded my wife's 2015 Kia Sportage LX (lease) for a 2016 Ford Escape SE with 9k miles and only $800 down. Her payment was the same as the lease. We went back a week later and traded my 2013 Kia Optima with the tech package and panoramic roof in on a 2017 Kia Sorento LX V6 with AWD that had just over 9k miles on it. The KBB used trade-in value was $6,600 but CarMax only offered $5k for it. Similar makes and models with higher mileage we're being sold by CarMax for $10,500. I understand they need to make a profit, but if you're going to tell people "We will pay you the higher of the two offers; KBB or our appraisal" then you MUST do it! I ended up putting $1,500 in the end which absorbed some of the loss simply because I loved the Sorento and still do. It's clean and we had it brought to us from about 25 miles away at another CarMax. All things considered I would ship there again. I got a nearly brand new vehicle, V6, AWD for $8k less than new! read more

Bought my new car here with the help of Dee! We walked in to browse, and left with a Nissan Murano! Dee made the sales experience easy and pain free. When we arrived, she pointed us out to the lot to browse, while she looked at my current car to give a quote. She found us with two quotes - one from CarMax, and one from Kelly Blue Book. The Kelly Blue Book was more, but CarMax matched it! We spent some time with Dee browsing different cars. She never pressured us, but was very informative. She even looked up cars at different locations with different features for us. After a quick test drive, I left with the exact car that I thought I wanted. The entire process including selling my old car and buying my new car was stress-free and took less than 2 hours. I realize that most car shoppers spend more than 2 hours by design, but if you are looking for a pain free, simply buying experience - check out CarMax. Ask for Dee too!! read more

My daughter was in an accident and her truck was totaled. She only had a rental for a short time. She looked at the Carmax website and choose a car. She did the application with a customer service rep on the phone. We arrived at the appointment time and after talking to our amazing sales rep, decided on a different car. He made it super easy and fast. I swear he was as excited as we were when she drove us out of the dealership. I highly recommend Carmax. read more

if I could give 0 stars, I would. There was zero customer service and 0 consideration for our time. after 3 hours there, they tell us they the appraisal will be lower than what was initially offered. we were told by Hector that we were wasting their time, and not to bother the manager as he was busy. I don't recommend it at all. unless of course you enjoy having your time wasted and being disrespected. read more
