Extremely Disappointed -- 125-Point Inspection Is Misleading. I purchased a vehicle from CarMax based on their advertised 125-point inspection, and I am extremely disappointed. Less than two months after purchase, I took the car to Midas for a routine oil change and was told the vehicle had worn rear brakes, a potential oil leak, a cracked driveshaft, low fluids, and filthy cabin and engine filters. These issues clearly existed before I bought the car. When I returned to CarMax, they initially suggested it might be my fault, despite the short ownership period. Photos from Midas proved otherwise. CarMax did provide a loaner, which I appreciate, but their service department has had my car for over 24 hours without even running diagnostics. They have called to ask about the loaner and to say they are have not gotten to my car yet and cannot give a timeline for when my car will be checked or repaired because they are busy. This is especially frustrating during the holiday travel season, when I would much rather have my own vehicle. Overall, I am very disappointed with both the sales process and the service department. I would strongly recommend getting an independent inspection before purchasing from CarMax, regardless of their inspection claims. read more

I put a hold on a vehicle yesterday. called today to complete the transfer. I completed the transfer, I spent $250and was called later by CarMax to say the vehicle was "being test driven". I told the sales rep that I had a hold on the vehicle and I asked when my hold expired. He could not give me a straight answer. But he did say that it somehow magically expired the moment the test driver got to the lot. He couldn't tell me if it expired in 24 hours, 36 hours a week or anything. Then I called again and tried to speak with another rep or a manager. The sales rep that I spoke to, could not give me definitive, quantifiable information. Her answers to my question kept changing. At first she told me that the hold expires after 5 to 7 business days and after I explain to her my situation and that I just placed the hold yesterday, less than 24 hours, she then explained that the length of the hold magically changed to less than 24 hours. With me having a verified hold on the vehicle, they sold it out from under me. First time I've ever attempted to use car max, and it absolutely will never, ever, ever happen again. I would not use them if I were you. They clearly do not honor, know or follow their own processes. I'm not sure if they offer any kind of warranty or any follow up service after the purchase, but I can guarantee you, they have difficulty holding up their end of the deal. If you can't be trusted to do the little things that don't matter, how can you convince anyone that you can do the things that really do matter? read more

Unfortunately my dad has dementia, so his driving privileges have been revoked. It's a stressful time, and the last thing we need is more stress, right? So we brought my dads vehicle in to see if they would purchase it from us. I know places like this salivate at people who are desperate. We weren't desperate, but we didn't have extra time to put the truck up for sale ourselves and deal with all the haggling and no shows. We've never dealt with CarMax before. From the moment we stepped foot inside- we were enthusiastically welcomed. They run a well-oiled machine. Every level was smooth and professional. It took maybe an hour for them to inspect the truck, get all of our information, run backgrounds and offer us a number. The amount offered was respectful- and we didn't feel taken advantage of one bit. They quickly cut a check and we were on our way. I would absolutely fo business with them again, and I would recommend them. read more

I purchased a Lexus IS 300 and have had it for a couple years. I've had to do both sets of brakes and a few oil changes. I've serviced the transmission, put 50,000 miles on it and most of my service has been done at CarMax. The car's been a peach. I worked in the car business for 10 years and CarMax removes the headaches. I don't want to advertise my car and have God-knows-who showing up God-knows-when with a post dated check. The reason I am writing this is because the car has been bulletproof for years. It used to be that you had to buy a brand new car with a warranty. read more

The WORST service department in all of Naples. That is the plain truth. They never answer the phone. They dont follow up. The make you wait for appointments for weeks stating " we are too small to handle the volume of business we have" Then they say their warranty they sell you is a different company CNA even though they call it Carmax Extended care. That is a whole separate issue with these people. Just a horrible experience. read more

The staff at CarMax was polite and professional, and the process itself was straightforward. I didn't feel pressured, and everyone treated me respectfully. That said, I was a bit disappointed with the lack of flexibility. I came in genuinely interested in a vehicle from their inventory and shared that I had received a stronger trade-in offer from Carvana. I simply asked if they could review it or possibly match it, as I preferred to do business with CarMax. Unfortunately, the offer wasn't reviewed at all, and I was told very directly that the price was final and that I should go with Carvana if I wanted that deal. While I respect their no-negotiation model, the interaction felt somewhat dismissive and gave the impression that retaining my business wasn't a priority. Overall, CarMax is a good option if you value simplicity and a fixed-price experience, but it may not be ideal if you're hoping for flexibility or competitive matching on trade-in offers. read more

Mr Allen, was amazing for everything. I got my perfect car and the process was easy breezy. Allen was a great customer executive. I recommend him for your process. read more

The CarMax experience is anything but pleasant. Their customer service is awful! Purchased a one year-old vehicle and took it for an independent inspection. The inspection discovered the vehicle's rear axle beam was bent and the reason for the alignment. I immediately contacted CarMax to request that the issue be corrected as I was departing town in approximately two weeks with the vehicle. Complete chaos and unresponsiveness from CarMax and their service department. It seems their new slogan should be: SAY ONE THING BUT DO THE OPPOSITE." I am leaving town and it does not appear that I will have my car back in time. By the way, I thought CarMax performed an extensive inspection of every vehicle sold by them. My opinion, Don't use CarMax! read more

I went to Carmax to get my parent's car appraised last Monday morning, on MLK Day. The supervisor on duty that morning greeted us immediately and was very polite and quick to assign us to Allen Prudhomme, the Sales Consultant that would be helping us in the transaction. In the first five mins of meeting him, i was kind of bummed that we wouldn't also buy a car with Carmax because I knew that Allen would've made a stressful process so much easier! Right out of the gate, he was exceptionally attentive. Especially warm with my retired parents, which I appreciated! He offered to show us cars but wasn't pushy or less helpful when we declined. We got an appraisal in under an hour and could've obtained our check right there and there had we decided to sell. Instead we sold the car to a friend, but the appraisal was very helpful! If you are in the market, I highly recommend Allen! read more

My story Ordered a car online 2017 Porsche macan Shipped down in a week Went to get the car all seemed good with picking up sales guy was helpful Driving home i noticed the odometer was not what i had been sold online and the paper work was filled out incorrectly- the car had 6000 more miles on it than advertised and the titled filled out falsely also. Called the next day and they felt the price was still the correct price than offered me $1000 to keep the car, not happy at all. Go to return the car and I had paid cash- which they draft immediately from your account, but when you return the car I was told 7-10 business days for me to get the money back, very unhappy. I did get the money back in my account in 6 days Buyer be ware of Car Max! read more

Ok this is nuts,not only does service suck but they took my owners manual really?!not to mention calls never returned. What great customer service NOT read more

Was able to get $3,000 more than our dealership offered. Very pleased. Everything was organized and quick.

My parents called ahead of time to reserve a car for noon, as they drove from Miami to see the car. The salesman sold the car right as my parents got there, and didnt call or tell them at all. Over 200 miles of driving. Unprofessional and horrible service. read more

Horrible customer service. They have no communication or knowledge. I made an appt to get my car appraised two weeks ago. I have been calling since yesterday to make sure everything is in order. The first person who answers tells me I don't need an appointment. Questioning why I am calling ahead. I call again now, 4 hours before my appointment, only to her telling me it's Saturday and the bank will be closed and unavailable for payoff. Why wasn't I told this two weeks ago, or even yesterday? The girl who answered was very unprofessional and not helping at all. When i asked for her name, I was told "NAJAE", and then was hung up on. read more

A couple months ago I purchased a car from a local dealership Coconut point Ford. What a huge disappointment there were hidden fees and all sorts of nonsense. Unfortunately my brand new car was totaled last week so I was in the hunt for a new one. I had a couple friends tell me about Carmax so I decided to give it a try. The customer service was unmatched Jackie was a phenomenal help. She was efficient and knowledgeable. No hidden fees no price gouging and I walked away with a great deal. Thank you so much I'll be back in a few years read more

CarMax - Love it - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Naples, Florida

While the value is good at Car Max, I was extremely disappointed that I paid $99 to have a car shipped to the Naples Florida facility. When I took it out for a test drive the turbo was shot and making a screaming noise and the proprietary toolkit require to even change a tire was missing. Obviously the vehicle had not been checked out before shipping. In my opinion the shipping cost should have been refunded. If you do use Car Max, NEVER pay to have one shipped. You're out the shipping cost if a junker shows up. read more

After selecting my vehicle online, getting preapproved and then submitting the offer and getting a final approval from the bank, I was so excited to go in to pick up my new car. However, after test driving it, I sat down to sign the final paperwork and was told that the bank has changed it's mind (????) and the terms offered were no longer valid. They were very apologetic and made the situation right, so I have changed my rating from a 1 star to a 4. read more

The service Luis Macedo provided was amazing. During his break, he showed my partner and I options that best fit our needs after he heard us out on what type of car we were looking for. He talked us through the whole process and helped us resourcefully; and in my years of going to car dealerships, none have provided such a friendly service. He genuinely cares and has a unique way of getting our trust. Such a great employee. I hope he eventually becomes a car salesman. read more

Justin the service manager is great!!!! Good selection of cars too. Service is Great and Clean.

Really enjoyed my experience. Was able to bring my. Roger closing and they took care of the sale within 45 minutes. Staff was great, very nice and friendly. Highly recommend if you're trying to quickly sell your car! read more

After 6 hours of this painful visit, we were quoted 10.8% APR. We have bought a lot of cars in the past and our credit is EXCELLENT (750+) Not only the sales guy Chris, was inexperienced in the business, but also lacked of professionalism. He pulls my wife credit, tells me "review it" and points the screen... I JUMPED calling the process BS. He got personally offended, super angry and told me we were done then.... WOW!! I never said I was! I request the manager but he wasn't able to explain how the decision was made.... We left. Went to a DEALERSHIP, pulled credit, 2.0%APR!!! Now were are buying a new car not a crappy used one. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. read more

If you come to this location in Naples Florida, talk to Sam Easley. Easily (no pun intended) the nicest and most helpful salesman that I've had the pleasure to buy my car from. An amazing personality and strait forward answers made this car buying experience the best one I've ever had. 100% deserves all the blessing that come his way. Thanks again Sam read more

While I was purchasing my car it was being detailed, the next morning I notice they forgot to replace the rubber cargo mat, the manager told me there was never one in the car, I was holding it showing it to my wife. Manager Insinuated I was lying and out of luck, and that I could return the car. Really over a $50 item? I purchased one off Amazon and will never do business with them again. I told the manager this was my 4th deal with them, he does not care and is not an asset to the company! read more

My Mother, in her 80's, went to CarMax to buy a car as her deceased husband, my step-father was a fan of CarMax. She bought a beautiful Prius for $20,000. Unfortunately a week after she had the car it began to stink of cigarettes. The car's interior had been sprayed with some air freshener to mask the smell. It was not a smoke free car as described. Car Max did not do a fair swap, she ended up getting a car with many more miles on it. read more

I bought a 2015 BMW in the beginning of February and although it's discouraging to send your car into the shop so soon after buying it but Justin from the service department has been so helpful and accommodating. He returns calls promptly and is always actively looking for solutions. This location has always offered such great service! read more

CarMax - BMW - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Naples, Florida

This was the absolute worst car buying experience I have every had! Purchased a 2018 volvo with 12K miles on it Sunday. By the time I got home there was a warning light on. Called and was told by John in the service dept. to "take it to Volvo since it is under warranty." Volvo says they can't get it in for a week and I explain to John that I need to drive it to Miami on Friday. His response - the issue won't impact my driving to Miami. Fast forward to Tues and 2 more warning lights are on - parking break temporarily not available and tire pressure issue needs service. Call John all to be told - "take it to Volvo." Seriously it's been 48 hours since I bought it and that is all you offer me. So, went to Volvo and bought a Volvo from them and returned the Lemon to CarMax. Walk in and all they said was return the 2 keys and make sure it has a full tank of gas to which I said you can go fill the tank yourselves! Meanwhile another woman is sitting there and she says she bought a car 2 weeks ago and the check engine light is on. I hear John telling her the oil pump or something went bad and they don't fix that and they will have to have it sent to another shop for service - not sure when they can get it in or how fast it can be fixed. Steer clear - they clearly don't do a thorough inspection and if the car is in the shop your 30 day trial really isn't a 30 day trial. I missed work and the hassle was definitely not worth it! read more

I recently bought a car from Naples CarMax and worked with Christopher. He was extremely patient and helpful with all the hoops required to purchase and trade in cars. Will absolutely be returning when in need of cars in the future. read more

Carmax is the best place to buy your next vehicle. Selection is superb, and Terry, our sales associate, was second to none. read more

I didn't buy a car from them so I can't comment on that process. However I did sell them my old car and the process went very smoothly. They gave me a written appraisal with a fair and reasonable offer price that they said was good for seven days. Even though I could have sold it for more by listing it for private sale online I decided to take their offer and avoid all the aggravation of selling it myself. Once I decided to take their offer I handed them my keys, title and driver's license and was out the door in less than 30 minutes with check in hand. read more

If you're looking for an amazing experience with a salesman who is patient, kind, and pretty much the opposite of what you would expect walking into a used car dealership, look for Terry Provence! Terry walked me through the whole car buying process, explained what was happening thoroughly, and even followed up several times to make sure I had a good experience. I can't recommend Terry enough! read more

In and out in thirty minutes. Got price. Ok. Got check. And out. No strange people coming to house.

My husband and I were literally just in here. And the most pathetic customer service ever. My husband and I was shunned, not even a hello and or a goodbye. Little did they know we have about 23,000 in cash my purse. I found 3 cars there I liked however I will just go somewhere else and purchase a car. Absolutely horrid read more

Wouldn't even give 1 star . When we went there after I got off of work at 5 in the afternoon no salesman greeted us as they were all sitting around shooting the breeze at one desk . I asked if I could go outside and look they said good luck it's hot outside I said I know I live here and the wonderful greeter said ya I know me too ! First red flag ... great salesman we walked around the lot for an hour no one in the air conditioning thought we were worth helping . Went inside picked out a few cars to drive it now was getting late so I could only test drive 25 mph around the block . Picked a car out to basically pay cash for said we'd come back the next available time I had which was two days car salesman late to appointment had to go to work scheduled another appointment the next day he was a no show .... you can't honestly throw money at these lazy salesman ... I would never buy a car from this place not only in Naples or nationwide. Laziest car salesmen I've ever seen . I've left messages with no call backs . I am in sales and if I treated customers this way I'd lose my job . I was astonished the way their lack of follow up was and let alone returning a phone call . Go somewhere else. Worst experience I've ever had trying to buy a car . I use the word trying because I usually buy the car . read more

I had the best experience I've ever encountered at a car dealership. No pressure, no pushy sales people, no dealer fee. Test drive my car, went home talked it over with the husband and texted my sales rep, told him I am ready and he had all docs drafted and ready for express pickup. Oscar and Steve at the Naples dealership were beyond amazing. 5+ stars! read more
