I always use carmax to appraise our vehicles. We sold a car and bought a truck from them. Great experience it was a great truck. read more

Purchased a truck with extended warranty. The truck was fine the 1st 30 days. I had to go out of state for 6 months and the troubles began. The truck had to be taken to the shop no less than 6 times for the same problem. It came to the point where I now I had to come out of pocket for the $250.00 deductible. I drove the truck back to Texas after the last repair. Once back in Texans the truck engine light came on and the truck completely stopped. After a few minutes the truck restarted and I made it home. The mounting deductibles and the unreliability of the truck I voluntarily turned it back to CarMax due to the excessive repairs , mounting deductibles and the unreliability of the truck. Of course I expected to take a credit hit, however, after reaching a settlement on the balance of the payoff, I was still taking negative hits on my credit report monthly. The only response from CarMax was they're sorry that's the way it is. Not buying another car from CarMax read more

I tried it in my truck with an easy tag and I asked if I could take it off. I was told by the sales rep they're gonna take it off in the back, one month later I get an auto draft out of my account because someone's using the . Spoke with the people in the business office and they told me it was my fault. I need to fill out the transfer paperwork and send it to tag. No offer to refund my money. read more

I used to love CarMax, but I'll never buy there again. The N. Freeway online salesman tried to add the stupid $400 "window tint" fee on my contract. I told him to take it off and I'll consider buying it. A week later, I agreed to buy the car at the "new reduced rate," and the he brought me a contract with the $400 fee still there and the former, higher price on it. I told him we're not doing business and to give me my keys. Almost got in a fight with the manager bc he refused to. They are literally every sleazy used car stereotype now. Dull blades. Summer 2024. read more

After 20 years, I sadly parted with my 2003 Toyota Corolla S. Loved that car. It got me through high school, undergrad, grad school, and my professional career. I decided to sell it with 228,000 miles. I had looked into Carmax a year ago, and they were offering $400. This year, I got it for much more than that. If you're looking into selling your vehicle, fill out the online application. It's a little lengthy but thorough enough to give them a good idea on the value of your vehicle. It asks anything from what features it has (inside and outside/cosmetic) to what's broken or if it's been in any accidents. You get an offer right away, and you get 7 days to bring it in to be inspected. I took it on the last day and didn't make an appointment. I went after work. I had just purchased a vehicle somewhere else over the weekend. When you walk in, scan the QR code to find your offer. Complete it then check in at the Business Center. They will eventually get your keys, do an inspection that takes about 30 minutes, and give you an offer. They honored what they told me online, so I was happy. If you decide to take the deal, you wait a little more, and they ask you to pull your vehicle up to the service center. They give you your license plates and remove the registration sticker. Then, you wait even more, and you sign your title, and they make you a copy of all the documents plus give you a check. The whole process took about 3 hours, so be prepared to wait. There's a Kid's Corner to entertain the kids and vending machines for snacks. Everyone seemed friendly, and like I did, you can chat with others waiting in the waiting area. read more

See all

I love how they cleaned the car before test driving. Before I went to North Fwy location, I was doing the paperwork in Rosenberg area then picked up my Lexus in North Fwy. Everyone there is super friendly and will recommend anyone to look at cars there because they have a great deal and good price. I could never go back to dealership again read more

Nice, clean, straight forward process. No frills, no haggling, excellent opportunities to return the vehicle if you change your mind, etc., etc., etc. This beats ANY dealership experience you will EVER have. I will say, it is best to know what you want before going in...then the process works perfectly. read more

If only I could give negative five stars. I am so furious as I type this. I had a bad experience with this location before, but I wanted to give them another chance since it was a couple of years. There is NO communication with this service department, the advisors that is. I had a great experience at Katy location, but again wanted to give them another chance. Within my 90 days and wanted them to repair what my pre inspection showed. Not only did they say they could not find the same conclusion but kept my car over night without my permission!!!!!!!!! I have learned my lesson.. I can understand all the negative reviews. They could closed the service department and keep the wonderful sales folks!!!!!! read more

I sold my suv to Carmax in North Houston. The overall experience was great! They provided their off for my vehicle online and I set up the appointment. When I arrived all of the employees were professional, helpful and very nice. I was there maybe an hour and I received the amount of the offer I received. Thank you Stephanie and Vanessa, yoy both were great!! To top it off we recived a free ride home. I highly recommend Carmax. Michelle W. read more

Very unprofessional,we tried to get a vehicle on line, was told that we had a offer then the next day we needed to send in two more documents, so we did , they said they never received and told us we're no longer allowed to buy from any car max, but the manager can't tell us why very unprofessional service and I would never recommend them read more

Grain of salt, I was just the tag along person, but I'm watching an employee, Kenn, go above and beyond to work with my cousin. He's talking to us about how the payments on a trade in work, and even though this trade in is a bad situation he's trying to show her what her options are and is spending all the time she needs to talk through those options, even waiting while she pulls more information. Top quality customer service from Kenn here today. read more

I am very upset with the way this store treated my grandmother, we started the offer online and was happy with it, we then setup an appointment with the store and went on in to start the process. We were approached by an employee named Hamed. That's where the whole process started going downwards. First he was already rude saying that their offer that they gave us online is already wrong, and tried to tell us it's only half of what was given to us, we then asked him, can you please complete the inspections instead of telling us this, you need to go verify everything before you start telling me a price. Then he made us wait over one hour, even after we had an appointment set up, if that's the case then why is there a need to set an appointment when you still have to go in and wait over that long. Then he came back and stated we cannot verify the mileage on the car because the odometer wasn't showing, so I politely asked him, isn't there a way to verify the mileage through your computers? Since you guys scan the vehicle for your so called "inspections" He then got very rude and told me "I don't need to do that" I proceeded to tell him he didn't have to be so rude, that I wasn't telling him to do it, I was asking him to do it. He then replied and said "you know what, go and take your garbage and get it out of there" I'm sorry but you do not talk to my grandmother like that, that employee should be FIRED. Why does he talk to people as if they are under him ? This is not right at all, I have called John Crawford the sales manager at this location and let him know of this issue, and I am awaiting a call back from him. I will be reporting this to corporate as this man disrespected an elderly woman and called her belongings garbage. I was so mad that we left the store without saying anything because we decided to be a bigger person and not cause a scene at the store. I'm not sure if this person was having a bad day, or maybe problems at home? But nobody forces you to go work, he should've stayed home if he was having a bad day. I will never in my life recommend Carmax to anyone not even my worst enemy. I want a solution from this company and a response in regards to their "employee" and what will transpire this is unacceptable. read more

Jan 10.25 Took my car back to Carmax. Sync module was replaced. However, the bad taste remains. Carmax this experience remains disappointing. Jan 1.25 I have bought 6 cars from Carmax on the North freeway, last one on Dec 6th. Never did I have to take one back. All good things end though. CARMAX SERVICE on the NORTH FREEWAY is the WORST. Well, they are very good with glue if you give them 5 days. Took my C-Max in because there was interior and exterior door trim that needed to be reattached, the headlights needed to be looked at, and the sync module in the entertainment system needed to be upgraded or replaced. So, I thought my car had been through a 125 point inspection. Guess, that doesn't include looking at the door trim and checking out the entertainment system though, hmmmm? But, I digress. Anyway, they had my car for 5 days and told me stories about how the sync module needed to be replaced, how it had been ordered, that the sync module was being delivered, and now they needed another day to install it (with a surprise twist, a new entertainment system too). Well..... like I said, they did a real good job with the glue and got the door trim reattached, both inside and out. Just amazing! In case you weren't sure, NO, I did NOT get a new sync module. I have all the SAME electronic problems I rolled into the service dept. with on Dec 26. read more

I got a flat tire and tried to change it myself, as usual. To my surprise.. the lug wrench provided with the vehicle does NOT fit. I call roadside assistance and pay $100 to change the tire. Then roadside assistance tells me the spare tire does NOT fit. So both the spare and lug wrench provided with the car are useless. I lost $300 today because of CarMax. BUY SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

I purchase an F150 2015 with 82,000 miles on it for $30,000 my first day driving it. Several of the lights came on the cruise control didn't work and various other things. I returned it the next day and my sales woman Edith was incredibly rude and this is the fourth car I've purchased at Carmax never again. read more

Easy process purchasing the car I wanted. I was in and out in 3 hours. Had the car shipped from another location which was quick as well. My only complaint is the car could have been detailed better as well as the sales people don't typically know specific details on the individual cars like a dealership would because they have so many. I like that they have a 30 day return policy however I believe they are changing it to 7 days. read more

I went into a CarMax to get an appraisal. The guy was very rude and asked me who sent me here then told me he was trying to run a business, but he lost my business. In the process of being rude to me for no reason, he even stopped himself and said he wasn't trying to be rude. Do better. read more

Another great CarMax experience for me! So easy peasy to do a trade in and everyone was so friendly and polite. It took over 3 hours though and that was my only complaint but I'd guess it would take equally as long if not longer at a regular dealer. They explained everything thoroughly and well. And they really have done an amazing job with COVID precautions. I was allowed to test drive a car myself and felt safe the entire time. I was even allowed to to do a signing exception so I could surprise my husband with an early Christmas gift! They even let me borrow a bow! Highly recommend buying or selling a car here over any other method! read more

CarMax - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Houston, Texas

worst car buying experience ever. i bought this car 6/25/22, it's been in the shop twice since then. The check engine light came on both times, radio keeps resetting and freezing, why am I paying for a vehicle I can't drive. Why is this vehicle having computer problems at 8000 miles. This is ridiculous and each time it's been in the shop they have had to ship it out to a Nissan dealer, and it takes at least two weeks, I'm so frustrated and disappointed, and feeling like I chose the wrong dealership to make my 10th car purchase. I chose the top of the line and an paying top dollar for a car that has been in the shop more than I have been able to enjoy driving. read more

!WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 30 DAYS I have be debating on posting on any social media platform about this situation but I can not believe how or why this has happened. I want everyone to be aware THAT YOUR CAR IS NOT SAFE WITH CARMAX. I dropped my vehicle off to CarMax on North Fwy in Houston,Tx service center on the 3rd and the 6th I received a call asking me did I come and get my vehicle because they could not find it on their lot. I DID NOT I REPEAT DID NOT TAKE MY VEHICLE! I still was in the rental vehicle that I received from them when I dropped my car off to get serviced. I then went to the CarMax that my vehicle was supposed to be at and asked for the service manager to see if they had any idea where my car could be. They then walked me outside and told me JUST MY CAR HAD BEEN STOLEN FROM THEIR LOT WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION BUT IT WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. I was in shock and instantly had a panic attack. Thank god my mom was there because know one else came back to check on me or to help with the next steps. I did not understand how only my car while being serviced with CARMAX SERVICE CENTER WAS STOLEN and it is NOT their responsibility. Then they told my mom not to call the police or my insurance company while we were there, they told her to wait until we we're home. Instantly there was some suspicion and thought that was not right at all. So, I called the police and my insurance company while being at Carmax because now I believe it was an INSIDE JOB. Today is the 8th and I still do not have my vehicle back in my possession. I am sick and tired of how carmax has treated me through this process. I had to go to the hospital because my stress level was through the roof. They do not have any concern for my situation at all. I want everyone that gets a vehicle or was thinking about getting a vehicle through CarMax to be careful because CarMax IS NOT GOING TO KEEP YOUR VEHICLE SAFE AND THEY DO NOT CARE AT ALL! read more

CarMax - This is the only picture I received from the Carmax service manager. They did not give me any other photos or videos to help. - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Houston, Texas

I bought a car at the Katy location. I should've continued my business at that location. I ended up completing the transaction at the North Houston location. Well...this location is GHETTO!!! Seriously, this place is in the hood. If you come here, I hope you are packing for your own protection! read more

Due to hurricane we try skip - payment. They cusomter Service flat out told me no. He say due hurricane they didn't care about it . That bad business make sure y'all do not get CarMax for the bank loan they dont care about you I will never buy car from them again I'm so piss off . other company do understand !!! read more

I have had my car two years. I bought the Carmax Care warranty and my car has been in the shop an entire month. under 100,000 miles. The warranty only wanted to cover $40 a day for a rental; which in today's economy you cannot get a rental for $40. I have also already come out of pocket $2000 on repairs because they don't want to pay the full fix. Today I found out the motor is blown and I could possibly be in the shop another month waiting for my warranty to cover it because they want to send their own adjuster out and they want them to tear the car down even more which is labor cost, which they may or may not cover. And to clarify, the vehicle has never been in an accident it just quit one day. DO NOT buy the customer warranty. They do not cover or repair anything. I have ended up paying out of pocket and going through my own insurance to cover the problem; which potentially will lead to buying a new car because Carmax did not follow through on their end and cover the loss. my advice is if you buy a car through Carmax, you better have an attorney to fight for your warranty coverage. read more

Waited on a purchase for almost two weeks. When I came to pick up the car, their advertising did not match what was in the car. Be ware of their false Advertising. They would not try to resolve this issue. First time buyer from car max and very disappointed. I will never purchase or recommend car max to anyone. read more

I bought my smart car from Carmax in Charleston, SC in 2015. They make everything super simple and really do not pressure you. My aunt sold me her car, so it was sadly time to part with my smart car. I answered a few quick questions online, and was given an offer to bring with me to any Carmax within a week. My husband was sure that they were going to haggle with us, especially since we didn't need to purchase a new vehicle. Nope. They took about half an hour to look over the car, and told us that we could take the offer to another desk to get paid. No hassle at all. No lies, my buying and selling with Carmax were both totally hassle free! read more

I am going to cancel because your finance department only ran my credit for their financing and still wanted a down payment. In addition, I was never told what the rate was from the other lenders were offering. I have an 800 credit score and had 6.5% rate from my bank. Although I could teh Jaguar XL cash I think good customer service should try and keep a well qualified customer. There was no negotiation on the price, no offers to save money If you have good credit do not use Carmax their finance company is boderline fraud. Also I do think they have any offers for well qualfied customers the sales people are useless. Only if you are desparate for a car should you go to carmax. read more

I would give 0 reviews if that was an option. They try to cheat you . First saying that they can only give that much because after market wheels. That they would have to replace . Then I tell them I have original and they tell me offer is still the same . read more

DeMarco made my experience at CarMax today absolutely wonderful. Today I purchased my first car and as a new car owner I appreciated how he explained throughly and patiently everything I needed to know before I made any final decisions. Thank you DeMarco for being apart of a really exciting mile stone in my life! I would leave 10 stars if I could! read more

CarMax - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Houston, Texas

We came here to get our car appraised and actually sell it to Carmax. From all of the other places we had it appraised they gave us the best amount (this was for us so it could be different if you go and try). The process was made so easy and they helped us every step of the way and made sure we understood the process. Would definitely go back and do business with them. All of their employees were very helpful and friendly. Felt like we were taken very good care of read more

Only been here for sells but staff and help are spot on.. Friday nights and Saturdays very busy.... Fair pricing for trade in's read more

CarMax - Front entry.. - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Do NOT USE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE NORTH HOUSTON LOCATION!!!!!!! If you must, then make sure that you do not leave the care in their care overnight. We bought a truck from another location and the key fob didn't work so they gave us a repair ticket to have it fixed near our home in Houston. The first attempt to repair failed and we took it back a 2nd time. While in their care, the truck was vandalized and the catalytic converter was stolen. They REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY though it was in their care and put all the financial and police reporting responsibility back on us. Very unsatisfactory CarMax! read more

I purchased a jeep from there , transmission went out the same night, went back to trade it for another truck the engine having problems not even two months after purchasing. I do not recommend this store at allll read more

We had very positive car buying and selling experiences at this location. Zee was the absolute best- he was patient with us, never pressured us, and answered all of our questions. He was very direct and told me what I needed to know about the car I was interested in and ultimately purchased. He was also a pleasure to chat with. All of the other reps here were also great- each time we came, we were immediately greeted by someone and attended to. While I was waiting for an appointment, at least two different reps came over to check on me and answered lots of questions I had. I really appreciated the attentiveness and focus on the customer. Everyone else I talked to was very friendly. Selling my old car- same. They are doing customer service right! The rest of the shopping and purchasing process also went very well- no pushiness, confusion or games you experience at standard dealerships. We will be coming back here. read more

We have used Carmax to buy a car, but this time we were selling. They gave us a honest appraisal online and honored it once they evaluated the car in personThe process was pretty quick and every team member that we encountered was very nice and seemed as if they actually cared about the service they were providing. Customer for life as far as I'm concerned!! read more

Got a vehicle from this location hardly 7 months ago. The car already had over 95,000 I put $4000 down and had fairly good credit. The car has now been in shop 4 times, radio/screen went completely out. They told me everything was good in this car I've been having radio trouble for the whole 7 months. Every-time I took off work or missed school to have it looked at the radio would be working so there was "nothing we can do" same with my transmission light comes in once a month so far and because it goes away randomly I get "nothing we can do" but I'm paying 726 a month. Don't go to CarMax!!! My car is Honda pilot and 2019 shouldn't have this many issues when they sold ti me as nothing wrong with.. read more

Oh, CarMax. How you as a company have consistently changed my opinion of car shopping. You're so much more modern and reasonable and straightforward than most dealers, and your staff are more "humans helping with an expensive process" and less "desperate balls of cocaine-hopped need and skeevy financing". This particular CarMax has the same patient and friendly staff, always happy to help - and happy to step away when you need a moment to think. There was no pressure during my recent purchase to upgrade or try other models of vehicles I was not interested in. They got me what I expected when I expected it after a brief test-drive. It was no struggle. read more

I have purchased a total of 6 cars from CarMax, 4 from this location (16110 North Fwy, Houston). The last two cars have had some major issues, that were thankfully still under guarantee to fix. This last one, I decided to return due to the major issues found. The process took around 30-45 min. Be aware that it takes 5-10 business days to get your money back (I paid cash). I asked if there was a way to expedite, the answer was yes, but they couldn't confirm in any way that they had done so. The sales man was rude and dismissive of my concerns. I have been offered a drive home with their Uber partnership service in the past. (my house is 5 min from location); This salesman told me that that was not an option. After over 10 years of being a loyal customer and purchasing vehicles for my whole family, I am left without a vehicle for over 10 days, due to lack of customer care and satisfaction from CarMax. They basically stole my money for over 10 days, not allowing me to purchase another vehicle. They also would not offer any type of rental service. At the end of the day, you're just money to them. I will be contacting their cooperate office. I am beyond disappointed with their service. read more

Stay away from Omar he's absolutely rude and a scammer/liar!! Got approved and all for my trade and once I go into the store to sign paperwork he said I'm not approved and need nearly 15k down. That's not what I was previously approved for and told. read more

Carmax has gone downhill. We have bought 3 cars here and we're about to buy a 4th but just couldn't take the bad service. When we first bought a car here in 2008 it was a refreshing change from dealing with a sketchy used car salesman at a typical dealer. We test drove a bunch of different cars, had a pleasant Carmax consultant we were working with, benefitted from the warranty and smooth financing and had an overall great experience. Each interaction got progressively worse. The latest purchase the Carmax consultant actually WAS a sketchy used car salesman. read more

I'm sure this place has its perks for its customers, and people who are selling their cars. But when I went here April 2021, car shopping, I came to see a car they had posted online. Come to find out, almost all the vehicles they have sitting on their lot are all "Not available". The gentleman there was a senior sales rep. and very helpful but it's sucks not being able to buy any of the cars there. He said you have to scan the barcode on the car's side window, and not were available. It was a waist of time for me. Went to the dealer down the road and got my car the same day. read more
