    The problem with the Tesla .

    CarMax doesn't abide by their policies. They do shady business. I do want to say on our first visit to CarMax we bought an Audi, that the first guy that helped us was great. Thank you Allante for helping us. Unfortunately we had to return the Audi because it had issues. On our second visit to CarMax to return the Audi and purchase the Tesla the second guy that helped us sat directly behind Allante's desk and because it was Allante's day off, he had to cover for him without any commission treated us differently. He's about 6'2 with black glasses. He was very bland towards us as if he didn't want to help us. Unfriendly and judgmental. He wouldn't allow us to test drive nor take a look at the second car before purchasing it. Which we thought was very rude, unprofessional, and unusual, but we needed a car so we went ahead and purchased the Tesla. The Tesla ended up having charging issues. It wouldn't charge to full capacity. So unfortunately time wasted again and we needed to exchange it yet again. On our third visit to CarMax to return the Tesla we needed to purchase a different Tesla. They had no issues buying the Tesla back. But when it came to repurchasing a third car this time they wouldn't sell us a car. They said we were banned from doing business with and wouldn't give us a reason. They left my small child, my wife, and I without a car. If they didn't want to do business with me why did they purchase the Tesla back from me without allowing me to purchase another car. Extremely bad business. They have no morals. They wouldn't even give me an explanation to why. The manager David was extremely discriminating. When my wife said that she would purchase the car, he said no she probably won't be able to get approved either! Without even checking her credit or anything. He assumed just by looking at her! We have never felt so discriminated against. I have tried to call Carmax customer relations and they even said they don't know why we were banned. I felt I was banned from being discriminated against because I have absolutely done nothing wrong for them to ban me.

    After researching our vehicle for weeks, we found the perfect one in Wisconsin! There were no other vehicles around with the specific features, in our price range, low mileage, no accidents and one owner. So we had it shipped to Carmax Greenwood. It was the worse location we could have chosen. When we went to test drive the 1st thing we noticed was the low tire tread. When spending almost 40k on a vehicle, who wants to buy new tires a couple of months later. Once mentioned to the sales rep, she agreed to measure and said since we were so close the Carmax standard she would mention to the manager to see if they could be replaced. Shane Sherrill looked at us and shook his head no. I said to him the tires will need to be replaced in a couple of months. Shane's response was we have a standard, the car must not be for you. I told him I had the vehicle shipped, he then said I'll refund your money. Shane already had it made up in his mind he wasn't going to do anything to help us, nor did he want us to have the vehicle. When my husband asked to see the standard, he told him he doesn't need to show him anything. Since we over heard Shane belittling the female sales rep asking if she knew how to measure the tires, she came back with 2 different measurements we asked Shane to measure. He initially refused. After getting in my husband's face, trying to create a scene and embarrass him, Shane went to measure. He stormed back in saying the original tool the rep was using was broken. At that point he decided to show my husband the standard. When my husband asked if he could keep the pamphlet or take a picture, Shane told him to use common sense. He continued to get closer to my husband's face as if he wanted to intimidate or provoke him. The remaining staff kept their heads down as if this was his normal unprofessional, nasty, rude, condescending behavior. I asked corporate to run the footage in the store and I have no idea how Shane still has a job, let alone a management position. We ended up having the vehicle shipped to the Indianapolis location where the tires were replaced and completed our purchase a week later. If you see Shane at a dealership go the other way!!

    Came with a family member to CarMax today, it was my first time here. I didn't know what to expect but it seems like they handle a lot of people but somehow flow people through their process. When you walk in they have an appointment display which shows your name and you check in with the "host". We did have an appointment and the person we were coming to meet wasn't far and heard her when she said her name and came rushing over. The car we were test driving was parked up front and she quickly asked for drivers license so we could test drive. I do like that we didn't have to wait around. That's always a pet peeve when buying a car, I feel you are always sitting and waiting but not here. Things moved quickly. I also like they didn't test drive the car with me. Another pet peeve of mj be when they wanna ride with you. Once back she decided to move forward they quickly started the process. Again everything moved quickly and they have all these little stations but the person that we started with is the person we were with the entire time. They have tons of people working and it seems very efficient here. The cons: if you used to luxury car places this isn't it. There is no free coffee, water etc. there are vending machines. It could feel a bit impersonal but you are getting a good deal likely. So it's a trade off. As I told my family member once you have the car you can go to the dealership moving forward so it's all fine!

    We bought a second car from Carmax. It was unexpected as my daily driver decided to throw a rod and have its transmission go out. That's ok. It had to happen sooner or later. The process was painless.

I didn't know what to expect. If I had known that you could rent a golf cart to go in the yard instead of pushing a wheelbarrow around a 6 football field sized yard filled with 100's of cars I would have done so. Noted. But all the vehicle's were elevated so getting under them was easy. There were engine lifts out there i didn't have to use one so I don't know what or how someone would go about borrowing one. But they have them. The parts are very reasonable and if you are in the tires or batteries, pretty much anything else that you could want or need for a vehicle they have it.

Now I know it's in the name, but just know that you will have to take the part off the scrap vehicle out in the yard. So some basic wrenching knowledge is needed. I took my own tools, but it looked like they had some tools for use out there. Also, if you are looking to get a big part, or a bunch of parts, they have wheelbarrows you can use, or golf carts you can rent for $5/hr ($20 deposit). The $2 yard entry fee was interesting...not sure why they'd charge me to look, but it's only $2. Also if you sign up for their free vip program you get two free entries and $1 entries after that.

    My initial experience with Audi (not Audi Indianapolis's fault) was a little shaky. I owned an Audi…read moreQ7 TDI and was caught up in the diesel emissions scandal. When we sold the Q7, Audi Indianapolis made the process super simple. Well done! The customer experience at Audi Indianapolis is incredible due to my experience with Andrew Fier. Ask for him every time. Customer experience is dead everywhere; expect when Andrew is involved. He provides exactly what you expect. He and his team jumped through hoops to get my Audi S5 (350 hp; 370 torque at the crank) ready for a very important meeting. Andrew and his team came through and did not disappoint. If it wasn't ready, I was going to have to show up to the meeting with my mom's 120hp Hyundia. It's a decent practical car, but it is no Audi S5. Picture below of me showing up to my meeting. Andrew and I could talk about cars all day. I'm ready to test drive an Audi e-Tron GT, but not ready to buy. It is a big investment. From my automotive engineering background, we also said "don't buy the first year of a new car". We as engineers still have kinks to work out. I can't wait for the next model year! Please keep Andrew as an employee forever Audi Indianapolis! Please give him a raise if you can. He's the 1% of the 1% when it comes to customer service; I respect that.

They claimed they had done all the maintenance and the vehicle was in perfect working condition , not needing service for another 10k miles. Within a week of purchase she had to start adding 1-2 quarts of oil 1-2 times per month. She took the car back into service and they told her the car needed a new engine that would cost more than what she paid for the vehicle. Furthermore now that they "know" the car is using oil, they gave her a trade in value of less than half of what she paid for it. I would avoid this dealership at all costs. They obviously have honesty issues and are looking to take advantage of their customers.
