    Carvana has the best business model in the car buying and selling industry! There website is very easy to use. The price they quote you is very close to or exactly the actual price the will pay for your used car. At least, that was my experience. Once I arrived at their Austin, Texas facility, the whole process took less than 45 minutes. The staff is very friendly and knows how to quickly complete the title change process. They also informed me of other important steps in the selling process like notifying the Texas DMV for release of liability and to cancel insurance. Their online communication system keeps you updated and in touch throughout the entire process. Kudos to Carvana!

    Very easy process-I car shopped all week while I was sick in bed and found exactly what I wanted. No negotiating, but you have pretty great say over your terms, as long as you're approved, and the pricing was within KBB value, from I saw. All paperwork was done online, title, registration, insurance, etc. Everyone at the location even I went to pick my car up was welcoming and helpful. I think I was skeptical of Carvana to begin with because the "vending machine" feels tacky/like they aren't as serious of a company (which is importantly when buying a vehicle), but it really is just silly marketing to get people's attention, and my experience was great overall.

    Some very bad scratches not documented in listing.

    I purchased a car from CarMax that is a complete mess and was terribly misrepresented in the listing. The car is a 2023 (previous owner purchased in Aug 2023 per carfax, so 18 months old). I ordered it online after reviewing their photos and the clean carfax, and picked it up on 2April2025. I noticed what looked like a lot of dirt on the taillights and waterspots all over the car, but decided to take it home bc of the seven day return policy. Once I got it in my garage under good lighting, I found that the car has been completely repainted, and there are signs of there having been a wreck. The rear bumper, the doors, front fenders and front bumper have all been repainted. I even found a BONDO SPREADER (plastic spatula) in the trunk that is used by body shops to put bondo on a car... near the charge door, I found that there are deep scratches visible under the paint, likely from cheap body work.. there is also paint on a lot of the trim and overspray on the taillights and other body panels, and overspray on the frunk plastic from the car being repainted. I also found water in the 'frunk' indicating that the hood isn't sealing correctly, meaning that the hood doesn't seat properly or is misalligned, common after a wreck. There were also a lot of scratches on the car that were not documented, perhaps happened by Carvana staff, maybe bc the paint was soft since it was sprayed just a few days before they received it. -------------------------- Update : I initially gave Carvana a 1 star review, but since then I have returned the car and changed it to a 4 star review. Returning the car - This was very easy. The person I worked with was very empathetic and only needed to check the mileage on the car to ensure I did not drive it over the allowed amount. I'm not sure what that is but I had only driven it about 20 miles. Transport fee - A few days later, I called their 800 ph# to ask for my transportation fee to be refunded. It was only $290, but I feel like their inspection staff really 'dropped the ball" on the inspection since none of what I have included in my photos was listed in the review. My call with them was less than 5 minutes bc after I described the condition of the car, he agent agreed that I should receive my fee refunded, which will take 7-10 biz days. This is the car, relisted for sale. https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/3530211

I recently took my Jeep there because a noise was coming from the rear of the vehicle. Despite their horrible reviews, I thought that it couldn't be as bad as the reviews. I was wrong. I dropped vehicle off on a Saturday am - Phillip said they would take a look and call. I didn't receive a call from Phillip Saturday but did receive two calls from the dealership trying talk me into trading my vehicle, trade it before maintenance fees etc and before the mileage eats the value away. Interesting but, the vehicle has the "max" warranty plan. I called on Monday, no status - Tuesday - received an estimate for almost 8k...with a bunch of stuff to do - even though most of it had been done within the last 100k. Anyways - talked on Tuesday...Silence till Friday when I called enough to get a response. Phillip said it should be out by the end of the day. No news Friday, Saturday and could not get anyone to call me Monday. Tuesday - took the day off to go to the dealer for a response. The adventure went from bad to worse. I arrived around 1000 am - tried to find a parking spot. All the parking spots next to the building were filled with inventory, to include the 4x handicap spots. I parked in the one spot left in front of the door - marked visitor. A couple of people came out of the dealership and told me to move my car. I identified myself as a disabled veteran and that they had parked vehicles in the handicapped spaces. The response - there is a space at the end of the second row in the parking lot. This response - you have to judge for yourself. I moved my car and then went into the dealership to find a manager - amazing - none to be found. So - I then went to find Ashley - Customer Service Manager. Ashley went to find Phillip- who was with a "customer". Then Ashley took me to Ivan who could not reach Phillip. We ended up walking into the garage bay to try to find out the status...The tech thought they had the parts, but wasn't sure about the specific parts they were replacing....Going to save the additional writing, you get the picture. Vehicle was finished Tuesday afternoon. Called back to discuss the parking issue - tried to talk to Walter the GM - no response, finally spoke a sales manager. Also sent the Southpoint President a note - no response.

The first time, I inquired about a specific vehicle and was told it was available. After making the trip to the dealership, I was informed that someone had already placed a deposit on the vehicle and was scheduled to pick it up the next day. A few days later, I found the vehicle was still listed and another vehicle at the same dealership. I specifically explained my previous experience and expressed if the first vehicle was still available that would be my first choice. The salesperson assured me she would confirm availability with the manager. Throughout the day, she continued texting me that the vehicle was available, on-site, and that they were ready for our arrival. However, when we got to the dealership, we were told that vehicle had already been sold and picked up that morning. Having this happen once could be a mistake. Having it happen twice in less than a week, especially after I specifically expressed concern about it and was assured the vehicle's availability had been verified, feels misleading and disrespectful of customers' time. We drove to the dealership expecting to see vehicles we were told were available, only to find out otherwise both times. Whether this is poor communication or a deliberate tactic to get customers into the showroom, the result is the same: wasted time, frustration, and a loss of trust. I would recommend getting written confirmation and being very cautious before making a trip to view a vehicle at this dealership.

My 2025 Silverado experienced a catastrophic engine failure with under 6,000 miles and required a full engine replacement. While the mechanical issue itself is concerning, what has been more frustrating is the lack of communication, follow-through, and urgency from both the dealership and GM. Since the vehicle went into the shop: * I've had to repeatedly initiate contact just to get basic updates * Calls and promised follow-ups from the dealership were not returned * There was no clear repair timeline provided * The replacement engine was later confirmed to be on backorder, extending the delay even further * I've incurred ongoing rental costs due to the lack of a dealer loaner and minimal coordination Despite escalating the issue to GM Customer Care and requesting meaningful resolution, the process has felt slow, reactive, and dismissive of the real inconvenience and financial burden placed on the customer. When you spend hard-earned money on a new vehicle, especially a premium truck, you expect reliability, accountability, and proactive support when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, this experience has demonstrated the opposite. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering purchasing a vehicle from Capitol Chevrolet or investing in the GM brand to think carefully about what happens after the sale -- because when a serious issue arises, the customer support simply hasn't been there.
