The service here was absolutely amazing! I called Monday, 8/17/2026, hoping to get an appointment for my car service before I had to leave town for a work trip. I was initially told the first available appointment would be in the first week of September, but they worked with me to get me in much sooner. That was such an incredible help! When I arrived for my appointment on 8/20/2026, the staff was phenomenal. I worked with Leslie M., and she was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond to help me and ease my mind by keeping me updated throughout the entire process. Leslie called me within two hours of dropping my car off to let me know the diagnostic was complete. She explained that they were waiting for my warranty company to approve the claim and that they were already ordering the necessary parts. My biggest concern was how long the parts would take because of my upcoming work trip. Then, around 4:30 p.m., Leslie called me again to let me know the warranty had approved the claim, the parts had arrived, and they had already installed everything! My car was ready for pickup that same day. I was absolutely amazed at how quickly everything was handled. The customer service, technicians, and entire staff were incredible. They worked so efficiently and did an amazing job. I cannot thank Leslie enough for going the extra mile, rushing the process, and keeping me informed every step of the way. And to top it all off, when I left, I realized they had even topped off my car with gas! What an amazing and unexpected blessing. I will absolutely continue bringing my car to this CarMax location. They have an amazing team, and the level of service I received was truly exceptional. Thank you so much, Leslie, and the entire team, for making what could have been a stressful situation such a smooth and positive experience! read more

My husband and I sold our car to CarMax in June (good offer) and bought a truck (great deal). It took a few hours to get everything straight for the sale (blamed on new employees), so they paid for our dinner ($40). Well, it has been almost 90 days, and they offered to buy the truck back because they weren't able to get the title, and my insurance company was getting ancy because of California law.. My husband and I called a few times during this waiting period and finally, in September, we just showed up in person to CarMax (while planning his mother's funeral). Guess what! The day we showed up is the day the main office got the duplicate title (huh)! We test drove a few cars anyway, but we left with our truck and a promise it will be registered with the DMV immediately. Fingers crossed... UPDATE: After we left CarMax on Thursday, we got a call on Friday asking us to bring the truck back in because they need to smog it and take it to be weighed to register it. Sigh. So we are back again waiting in the waiting room to get our truck back. They compensated us for gas ($33), but really? So, my advice is to make sure they have your correct address in case they "try to get in touch with you" (there is more than one place for it, apparently), and make sure they have already received the title before you buy the vehicle. This was a recent lawsuit, fyi... R.I.P. Mom read more

Yelp needs to make make negative 5 stars an option. I purchased a vehicle on April 1st 2026. Dumb me did not purchase their Max Care. Third month in, air conditioning isn't working. I take it in to my mechanic for diagnostics and it's a leaking valve. The air and cabin filters are filthy, he said they look like they've never been changed or serviced. Valves, filters, etc are part of CarMax's advertised so called 125 point inspection. You'd think at least the filters would be changed. I've put 2500 miles on the car, there is no way the amount of filth would have accumulated in the time I've had the car. Extremely poor customer service, buyer beware. read more

I came in today after speaking on the phone for three hours with finance, was transferred to several agents and all did not know where the other left at, it took 3 hours fill out a company application. They approve the entire process, I come in and they hard inquired my credit and asked two twice while docking me points due to their discrepancy. We drove from Venice California. They asked to check again and hard knock my credit again to check again, did not offer to amend the mistake that they made while affecting peoples credit scores. The sales man kept walking to talk to his manager his manager hid behind the chair that was visibly behind us. I asked for something in writing to provide to my creditor due to their mistake to dispute and they had nothing to provide. This place is scamming businesses and consumers alike by blaming their international customer service line. To top this off, the notes placed also showed they said they left a VM. When no call or Voicemail was ever provided, I asked to pull the recorded calls and also no recollection on twist behalf. The manager finally comes out and says their is nothing I can do. The lack of customer service is clear, the manager stated,"you got $14,000?" No sense of logic to their own inconvenience to consumers. Recommendations to report to BBB for unethical business practices. read more

Great quick service. From the online car entry offer to appointment getting set, to car getting inspected on site. We were in and out quickly. Appointment at 9am, was greeted by staff, car was inspected. The communication with Himena in the business center was the best!! Himena definitely made the process easy. Paperwork signed, check was cut, and out of Carmax by 945am. Thank you read more

My experience here was awful. I bought an Audi 2015. They told me everything was fine and updated on the car. Filled it up with gas, gave it a wash, but a big bow on it... comes to find out not even two months with it I have problems. I took it to Audi because CarMax didn't care... 15k to fix everything on it. Basically how much I bought the dam car for. So crazy. They never helped me or cared they just want you to buy a car and after that it's like they shake there hands clean and don't want nothing to do with you, after they get you. Never again. Just buy a new car. They don't care. read more

My experience with Eric, one of the managers at CarMax, was extremely frustrating and disrespectful. Eric was the person who originally called me and told me that I needed to upload a valid driver's license. When I arrived at the location, he remembered speaking with me and immediately said, "I told you that you needed a license." I calmly explained that I understood what he had told me. However, after our original conversation, I had called back and spoken with someone else who gave me additional information about my situation. Instead of allowing me to finish explaining what I had been told, Eric dismissed me by saying that I must have spoken with someone at the call center and not a representative from that location. I repeatedly asked Eric to please hear me out, but he continued interrupting me and saying that he had already spoken to me about the requirement. I was not denying our previous conversation--I was simply trying to explain that I had received different information afterward and wanted him to help me clarify it. He showed no patience or willingness to listen. Because Eric would not allow me to fully explain the situation, I eventually asked to speak with someone above him. That was when Gabriel became involved. Regardless of whether CarMax could complete the transaction, I should have been allowed to speak and explain why I came into the location expecting a different outcome. This complaint is not simply about being told that I needed a license. It is about Eric's dismissive and disrespectful treatment of me when I tried to clarify conflicting information. As a manager, he should know how to listen to customers, communicate calmly, and handle misunderstandings professionally. Instead, I felt unheard, belittled, and treated as though what I had to say did not matter. From my interactions with Michelle, Eric, and Gabriel, this was the worst customer-service experience I have ever had. No customer should be treated this way, regardless of the final answer or outcome. read more

Great Cars, But Too Busy for a Test Drive We stopped by CarMax in Ontario and were impressed by the selection, especially the luxury models. Staff was friendly, but they seemed short-staffed and too busy to accommodate a test drive at the time. We ended up having the car shipped to our local CarMax the next day, which was fast and convenient. Overall a good experience, just would've liked a little more time and attention on-site. read more

I just bought my third car from CarMax and I had the pleasure of working with Manny on my final steps. We encountered a little hiccup during this time and I started to get overwhelmed and felt defeated but he reassured me and gave me positive energy. I trusted him and the process and walked out with the car I wanted. I will never forget this day and I appreciate him and the entire team for their support. read more

Bill you are AMAZING!!! I went in to assist a friend who bought a car and it had some mechanical issues. Although we were assisted by a saleswoman, I saw a manager and asked to speak with him. His name was Bill, he had a nice strong handshake and gladly took time to speak with us. Bill gave us his undivided attention, he heard and acknowledged every concern from my friend. Bill was authentic and came up with a workable solution and we left very satisfied. Thank you Bill, I personally look forward to recommending more friends to CarMax Ontario. read more

I took my car here yesterday for sell. My car had 236,000 plus miles on it and wanted to get something out of it. No hassles here. I did a prequote on line. Had all my items ready including the title, my ID, and my current registration. They did all the paperwork. I signed and a check was cut to my liking within about 1 to 1.5 hours. I was happy with the whole process. Elijah and Mari were nice employees! This was a second vehicle I have sold here in about 15 years. I remember that was a good process back then too! Highly recommend!!! read more

CAR TRANSMISSION WENT OUT THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE: an absolutely atrocious experience. The transmission for my mother's 2014 Honda Civic, a fantastic car, went out 3 months after purchasing. Because it was past the 30 days that the car was bought and because we did not purchase their MaxCare, we kindly asked the manager Sandy for further assistance because a transmission going out within 3 months of a purchased vehicle, even a used one, is unacceptable. At first Sandy was helpful. We took the car to a partner mechanic so it could be diagnosed. After they confirmed it was a transmission error, Sandy advised CarMax could only cover 50% of the cost. Then, we didn't hear from him. For one week, I consistently called for updates and asked if I can get the 50% offer in writing. Every time I called, i was told the same thing: there is no manager here, or the sitting manager will get back to you. They never did. I shared my frustration with Sandy one week later, as I was disappointed with the lack of communication as well as with CarMax only being able to help with half of the transmission cost. And then, for some reason, he lashed out. Stated "CarMax doesn't have to help you with this even now". Completely unprofessional from someone that is supposed to act like a manager, mind you you I was not speaking to him unkindly. I think he expected me to jump up and down with joy after being ignored for one week and being told I have to pay $2.5K for something that should not have happened to a car that was sold less than 100 days before this failure. My family and friends have heard about this experience. We will not be purchasing from CarMax in the future. Wanted to write a review for future buyers to be weary as well. read more

My second experience at Carmax was excellent. I was selling an 11 year old vehicle I no longer had use for. I received my initial offer from Carmax via the website. The website was very easy to use. I made a same day appointment on a Wednesday morning. Upon arrival, the dealership was slow, which was good for me. I met with ALIJAH at the business office to start inspection process. He was welcoming, friendly, and efficient. The inspection process was quick, and I had my final offer (which matched the online offer price) in about 20 minutes. I then met with CHRISTOPHER who handled the final paperwork. He, too, was professional and friendly. We completed the process in about 15 minutes, and I had my check deposited upon receipt via my banking app. I spent less than an hour at Carmax, which was fantastic. The experience was super smooth. I highly recommend visiting on a weekend day in the morning. read more

We stopped by Carmax to check out a car and added our names to the test drive list. It was about an hour before closing, and they were pretty busy helping other customers. After waiting for about 30 minutes with no update, we decided to leave. On the plus side, they have a big selection of cars, and we were able to look at the one we were interested in and arranged to have it delivered to our local Carmax. read more

I was helped so much and I really appreciate Ali and the CarMax team here. I haven't left a review in a while but wanted to for this experience. read more

I set up an appointment. I'm here waiting for over 10 minutes then they tell me that I'm late even though there was no one at the counter to check us in and then they tell me I have to wait two hours before somebody can see me even though I've had an appointment. What's the point of making an appointment if they're gonna put other people in front of you and make you wait two hours? Go somewhere else! read more

Great customer service when I took my vehicle for repair. The service representative was very informative, patient, and professional.

Michelle is excellent!! Her customer service is superb, she made my whole family feel at home with this dealership. She definitely took her time with trying to find the perfect car for our family. I'm very particular and very picky..so you know we went through a few! She was very patient and just really listened to what we wanted. After an hour we found the perfect car! The process and applications was very quick! I was impressed. They have a great size selection! Come here for all your car needs, their pricing is unbeatable in my opinion. They take walk ins but I would call ahead to make an appointment. So far everyone I've seen is happy and cheerful- that's a plus in my book. I'm looking forward to driving my car out! Thanks Michelle and Carmax!!! I'll be referring family and friends read more

I'm filing a formal complaint about my visit about a week ago for a vehicle inspection. After the inspection, parts of my car were not properly reassembled. When I returned, the manager denied his staff touched anything, accused me of lying, and told me to contact my insurance even though this issue was caused by your shop. One of the device in my car was stolen and I had to insist for the parts to be reassembled. Still did not received any apologies. The manager Frank should be avoid because he will take advantage of women. This place is trash. read more

So I am shocked that the transaction went as well as it did. Buying and selling cars is always a challenge. I tried selling our truck on my own and what a fiasco that is. The cons come out of the woodworks and it is so scary to do so. So we decided to sell our new truck [about a year old] back to CarMax and then buy the car we wanted; a hybrid. We got an online proposal and a check in time. We arrived and as we walk in we see our name on the appointment list. They send us over to a check in counter who quickly let's us know we are moving onto the next phase, which is to have the car inspected. After about an hour wait, we are told the inspection came in and we are getting a $1k over our quote. It did have step bars and a bed liner installed and I must say my daughter had that car so clean [damn girl would never let me take it out]. Finally Daisy sat down with us to confirm we wanted to sell the car and we finalize the process. She was awesome but even then it took another hour. The entire process took over two hours and that's with a prelim price and appointment which they say saved time. But overall, we are very satisfied with the whole group. read more

Unprofessional customer service with Frank/Frankie-(past middle age, silver hair, hispanic man.) As soon as he walked up to me i could tell by his entire demeanor i was not going to get help. What could have been a quick professional experience turned into a disrespectful battle. Frank let me know it would be at least an hour for inspection, so i took a walk. it wasn't 10 minutes later Frank called. with an attitude, he said he had been trying to reach me and left a voice mail. I asked him what's going on... Frank was short with me- "We have to see your VIN in 3 places, the third place is covered by a piece of rubber, we can't give you a quote, this is company policy, come pick up your key, we can't help you." I let him know i went for a walk and could be back in 10 min. Frank huffed and puffed and said you're not even here uuhh!? Come back to my desk and get your key. I came back and asked if this was an issue because im a woman alone, i wanted to know why im being turned away so easily, with no willingness to help make a solution. i asked if i needed my husband to come down to help, and asked for a manager. Guess what they moved the rubber and gave me a quote. i shouldn't have to get nasty and threaten the company of a man to do something that should be simple. I was still unwelcome by Frank after this. He came outside shoved the paper quote at me, told me it was nonnegotiable, turned his back to me, and walked back inside. The Carmax quote was $6800.... I traded the car for $8000 at a dealer. Someone needs to talk to Frank so no one else gets treated like this. read more

Carmax - 2019 BMW 330i - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Ontario, California

If I could give the service department and their shotty work a -5 star review, I would! My Subaru sat there for two weeks with exhaust issues and was kinda fixed, but not even close! I had to take my Subaru, which I just bought through CarMax and had them work on my car under their warranty, to an actual Subaru dealership, with a service department that actually does the work they say they will. $3678 later and the ISSUES were taken care of. Subaru told me that if someone did a multi-point inspection on this car and it passed, IT's Because the inspector was blind, never had done an inspection or just didn't give a crap about his job or the customers. DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM CARMAX, they will absolutely SCREW YOU OVER! Also, you can't lemon law them. I'm sure they laugh about that! What an absolute joke of a company! read more

Carmax - Oooh, I remember when this car actually ran and we were happy! What a quick 60 days it was... - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Ontario, California

My work schedule is extremely demanding and fluctuating. When most establishments would disconnect, Amanda is great at communicating promptly with me via text and email to schedule or reschedule my vehicle service appointments. I truly appreciate Amanda's willingness to assist in resolving and overcoming hurdles, rather than pass me off to another department or person. Whenever I interact with her in person, I'm greeted with a smile and we laugh and chat about whatever issues my car may be having. I have less anxiety due to her customer service skills. I'd like to acknowledge her hard work on a public platform and request this note be forwarded to her manager please. Thank you, Anthony Rodriguez read more

Carmax - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Ontario, California

First off, I'll start off with I've purchased multiple vehicles from CarMax over the past 15 years I was sold a MaxCare "extended warranty" for 5 years and up to 75,000. The vehicle had 47,000 miles. That means I had less than 30,000 miles under warranty. Which makes absolutely no sense, that's less than 2 years for the average driver. I understood it as 5 years and 75,000 additional miles, which makes sense. Don't buy their MaxCare. Just take it to a dealership for their inspections and have car max fix anything. They claim not to be scummy like traditional dealerships but they finally got me one. read more

Meet Shredder.... I love my mustangs, 2nd one I've bought and I've loved my 2020 ecoboost so far. Worked with the team here last month, put the mustang on hold via the CarMax app & it stayed on hold for the exact date and time I said I could come in and see it. Day of appt & seeing the car, I went across the street to my bank, got my cashier check & came right back with everything I needed for them to sell me the car. I worked directly with "Ali" he was pleasant the entire time & worked as quickly as possible to ensure I was good to go to get my car same day & off the lot. As many others have mentioned they do take a while to sit with you and print all their paperwork... but we're buying a car here so of course there is going to be a wait, they also are always busy here & all their workers were doing something & none just sitting around so that was nice to see. I was seen right away and treated respectfully despite having to wait as they had to make a paperwork adjustment. I got the 5 year, 100K mile warranty on the vehicle too & I've actually had to use it once already (wasn't for anything crazy) and CarMax has done their part, the auto start on the car was acting up but they got it in and out same day, never was charged anything.... Haven't had problems since.... But again this location is great, would buy here again! read more

I put my transfer request on Saturday at 6:37pm. It was for a vehicle from the Palmdale carmax to the Ontario carmax. Yesterday I got an email that the car was finally shipped at 4:34pm. We were tracking the progress on the emails and the texts. Today at 6:39 am I got an email saying it was going through its final quality check and that they would reach out to schedule an appointment as soon as it was ready. At 12:31 today we got a call saying the car is ready for a test drive. I told them if it goes well I'm looking to buy. The guy said it was all set see you today at 4 pm in Ontario. On the way there I couldn't see the vehicle on my account under appointment. I thought it was odd. We got there but the car was sold. Somebody bought the car at the same time while we confirmed the appointment! If you go here, make sure they don't sell the car to somebody else. The first time they sold me a faulty car and they did a buyback. Now the second time this. I recommend you take your money elsewhere. I found a better deal and better car at another dealer at the same city I live in after I left carmax this afternoon. Easy and smooth transaction. Very disappointed! read more
