They have the absolute best warranty. The newest app change stinks. Previously, you could change your down payment, credit score, length of loan to get an idea on what you would pay. Now they require you to prequalify and you cannot change the numbers afterwards. This is our go to place for cars but might have to rethink using Carvana since it is more user friendly. ### 2/5 — Can’t get my offer *2026-07-09, version 5.0.1* Entered my email to complete getting my offer 11 times. Each time, the email I entered would disappear from page after hitting return and nothing. Not a fan of entering personal info and getting nothing for it. Carvana, here I come. ### 3/5 — Greeting *2026-07-08, version 5.0.1* On this day there were not enough sakes Personel in the dealership to service appointment makers. 45+ min wait ### 3/5 — Previous buyer *2026-07-03, version 5.0.1* I love this sight. It helps me to find everything I’m looking for. And the application is easily laid out. I have no problems with the application. And it helps me to satisfy my curiosity’s without the hassle. 😃🙏🏼 ### 4/5 — Add debit card option. *2026-07-02, version 5.0.1* Please add the ability to make debit card payments directly through the app. It’s SO frustrating having to call in every time just to make a payment via debit. It delays CarMax from receiving their money, and the phone process is unnecessarily long because the reps ask SO many questions before they can finally take the payment. Being able to pay by debit card in the app would make the experience much faster and more convenient. ### 2/5 — eBay got me more *2026-06-29, version 5.0.1* Carmax offered me less than $6,000 for my used car. I looked at TrueCar and saw my car going for as much $11,700. I then went to eBay, listed there, and sold it there for $4,000+ over Carmax offer. Don’t buy into their marketing hype. What you get from Carmax is not a great offer no matter how many times Grandma and her grandson say “that’s a great offer.” The actors are lying. Carmax does not give you a great offer. Want to lose thousands of dollars? Go ahead and sell to Carmax then. ### 4/5 — Needs lots of work *2026-06-20, version 4.60.1* trust me. the only thing more disorganized is the carmax website ### 5/5 — Ez *2026-06-10, version 4.60.1* Ez to use. Slam dunk ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just disappointed. *2026-08-13, version 5.1.2* We chose CarMax because my dad trusted their reputation, 145+ point inspection, and warranty. We were promised the vehicle would be transferred from Arkansas to the Wichita, KS location at no cost, but that never happened. After purchasing, we discovered a prior accident CarMax couldn’t tell us the severity of. Now we’re stuck with a rental expense because of this situation. This experience has seriously damaged our trust in CarMax. ### 1/5 — Buy somewhere else!! *2026-08-12, version 5.1.2* Worst experience I have ever had purchasing a vehicle. ### 1/5 — App issues *2026-07-24, version 5.1.2* Hate it ### 1/5 — Issues and Glitches *2026-07-22, version 5.0.1* As if Carmax isn’t bad enough this app is full of issues and glitches. Doesn’t show the correct balance or payments. Making payments often ends in you being double charged. Recently they double charged me because of a glitch with the app. Payment Activity only showed one of the payments. Now I have to do a stop payment with my bank because their customer can’t do anything about it. ### 1/5 — Worst experience buying a car *2026-07-21, version 5.0.1* 110 days and still no title and registration went over 4 different times and talked with several business managers all incompetent realized that I’m not the only one they just settled lawsuit exactly for this shady behavior selling cars with liens on title ### 1/5 — Error when setting store *2026-07-20, version 5.0.1* Even ChatGPT is tired of me trying to troubleshoot this and app support has no support for the app. I’m stuck and sad ### 1/5 — Not satisfied *2026-07-17, version 5.0.1* Almost bought an expedition max but after I inspected the tires, I realized 3 of the tires trends were cut up pretty bad. Management told me that there was nothing they could do about that. It is totally OK. After I inspected it, I realized 1 of the front right driver tire had a decent cut and showing wire, the front left tire had an nail in it. To think I just went on a test drive with my family, I almost jeopardized my family. Now dealing with management and them forgetting to inspect my car the next day and having to wait all weekend. When I’m in need of a car. I’m a little baffled how it passed Carmax’s inspection and state inspection and that they were trying to sell me a car in that kind of shape, i’ve already been pre-approved now waiting on vehicle on which I need and they’re showing me that they are in no rush of making a purchase or making things right ### 1/5 — Very disappointing customer experience. *2026-07-14, version 5.0.1* CarMax sold my reserved vehicle after I had already paid the transfer fee, completed the test drive, and scheduled delivery. Customer relations did nothing - don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — will not let me log in. *2026-07-13, version 5.0.1* i had to make an account on the website because making it on the app is impossible. constant “error” “error” “error” THEN FIX IT?? jesus ### 1/5 — Log In *2026-05-19, version 4.60.1* Recently, I can’t login. Once I enter my email address, I only remain on that screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Customer service *2026-08-23, version 5.1.2* So far things look good think I may have brought a vehicle by mistake ### 5/5 — Hiii *2026-08-23, version 5.1.2* Love it so simple ### 5/5 — I got my favorite car here *2026-08-22, version 5.1.2* Thank you Carmax for providing such great service, dedicated to my needs and are wonderful in all you do! ### 5/5 — Convenient *2026-08-21, version 5.1.2* Excellent App ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2026-08-20, version 5.1.2* This is my second vehicle purchased through Carmax and a very hospitable communicate very well and we love the cars ### 5/5 — Best app there is for cars *2026-08-18, version 5.1.2* Easily one of the best apps for buying cars.

I plan on trading in my GLC300 in next year for a GLE or a VW Atlas. ### 5/5 — Happy! *2026-07-23, version 5.1.2* Love working Carmax, great customer service, everything is very easy and simple.
