The process was exceptionally flawless! CarMax made an offer for my car online. I worked with Dan in the Bloomington, IL office. He was very thorough and explained the process as we moved forward. I would highly recommend CarMax as well as Dan!!!
The man that did all of my paperwork he was very nice and new what he was doing. Everyone was great. This is definitely the WAY TO BUY A CAR
My experience w/ CarMax was fan-freaking-tastic. Im moving out of state for a job and needed to sell my car before the move. It was so incredibly easy to complete the appraisal online and get an offer. The offer itself was really great and honestly higher than I anticipated. I was able to schedule an appointment, go into my local CarMax, and complete the transaction all in like, 30-45 minutes. In total it probably only took me about an hour or so to sell my car. I didnt feel pressured to buy or trade in. I was able to do the transaction seamlessly. The representative at the office, Maddy, was extremely nice as well.
First time buying a car there. Great experience. I will definitely be back. Everyone was very courteous and polite.
I went in to sell my car. I got a good offer, so I sold it! Zach was great! Excellent customer service.
Viewed a BMW for 3 days online. Went into the store to see similar models. Gave the car info I looked at online to the front desk man. He confirmed the vehicle. The next day I went online to have the vehicle shipped and that EXACT car increased $1000. When I called the store they said they cannot change the price at their location. No other vehicles on the page changed. I won’t shop there again.
Ive seen a lot of disparaging feedback on the Carmax facebook page, however I take this with a grain of sand, since no one goes on Sears web site to brag about how good their Craftsman hammer is, but let the head fall off the thing and theyre screaming their lungs out. Frankly I think people just make bad choices, As for our car, its basically new (1310 miles at time of purchase), and it features one of Chryslers best engines (The 3.6L Pentastar). Everything works, the car is smooth, solid, loaded with tech features, and gets good gas mileage. Like all the other Chryslers, Dodges, jeeps and Plymouths weve owned over the years, I have no doubt that this car will last well beyond the payment book. As for the dealership, their system is fast, efficient, and open aired (No hotbox treatment). The purchase was completed in less than HALF the time that would have been required at a conventional dealership, and that suited me well. The only reason I gave them a 4 is their non negotiable pricing. In this instance the pricing was fair, but some cars might require a bit of haggling. overall I am pleased with my decision to do business with them.
I got a great price for my daughters old car. It was more than I expected, and the transaction was quick and easy.
Dillon was very helpful, professional and kind
Quick and easy and Carmax gave me a great price on my mini-van. Will definitely recommend and use again!
Teddi was awesome to work with and made my Instant Cash Offer experience pain free. I’ve had neighbors ask why I drove 2 hours to sell my car and all I can say is nowhere local was as easy to setup and I can confidently say I doubt the process would have been as easy.
Communication is important and they have to improve themselves about it. The guy named William or whatever was the worst salesman I have ever seen. This place waste of time.
Outstandingly professional. Very easy to deal with. Maddy Pebbles is a valuable asset to your firm.
You offered me more for my car then I could get on a trade in. It was easy
Easy Peasy! They were able to give us a quote over the internet from the VIN#. It was $700 over what the dealer offered for a trade-in. Yes, I could have sold on my own for higher profit, but I needed to check this off my list as done and not have additional stress right now.I had 7 days that the offer was good. They kept to their offer. Recd the check that day and used mobile banking to deposit the check before leaving the premises! Done & Done!
The Carmax in Bloomington provided the best car buying experience ever. Tyler was very helpful in explaining all the features of the car when we can back in for a second look and made the decision easy. When we came back in to sign the papers, Marcus and Emily were extremely helpful and made sure we understood the Apple Car Play feature. The whole staff provided a no pressure atmosphere. We were in and out in 30 minutes with the car we wanted. 5 stars.
We received a quote on line based on Edmonds and made an appointment online. Our sales person bought the car for the amount quoted online. It fast and easy and our sales person Kayla was great.
Everything went smoothly, however, all the phone calls seem to go through a call center and you may not actually be speaking to someone AT the location you are trying to contact. This may be due to covid (working from home, etc), or just an easier way to field calls and be less burdensome to local dealership employees. Either way, it was unexpected, and there was a gap in communication when in person at the dealership. The vehicle we purchased was an excellent price, in excellent condition and located 100 miles north in a different CarMax dealership. It took 10 days to be shipped which was longer than the initial estimate. Our trade in was valued fairly and we were happy with the price. Other than those issues, it was a pleasant transaction and would work with them again.
Xander was very helpful. We received a fair offer on our trade, and the process was super easy and hassle free!
My experience with CarMax has been excellent! My first visit was to possibly purchase a vehicle from CarMax and it was the most comfortable experience EVER. The staff are friendly and non-assuming. I will definitely be back to purchase my next vehicle! A special shout out to Zander who was friendly and professional! If you are looking to buy or sell a vehicle dont miss out on a non,-pressure experience. Give CarMax a visit!
Great place to sell a car...I wouldnt buy from here but would definitely sell here everyday of the week
Awesome! Very smooth process ! Staff was very courteous, friendly, explained everything. Would definitely recommend!!
Great people, great service, and a great car. I cant complain about anything during my experience. Would defiantly buy again.
Sold my car, was a very fast and easy experience. All of the employees were extremely nice.
Great selling price,much more than the dealership,thanks much!!!
I have had my little PrisusC for about a week and the experience has been great!I love the car, the price and most of all the follow up and support of Carmax💕
Xander Johnston was very helpful and patient. Made the process very smooth. Thanks again Carmax!
Great place to buy a vehicle. I dealt with 5-6 different employees throughout my car buying process and every single one of them provided top notch customer service. I don’t know why anyone would buy a used vehicle anywhere else. Keep up the outstanding work CarMax!
We had a great experience at the Bloomington location. Our rep, Xander, was extremely helpful and patient with us during the entire process.. Buying a vehicle can be stressful at times, but everyone here made us feel comfortable.
Everything went very smooth. Couldnt be happier with the transaction.
Buying and selling cars made easy with helpful assistance from the staff.
Took way to long and the people did not understand what they were doing, Will never use carmax again
From start to finish, the whole CarMax team was friendly and professional. I hate shopping for cars, the haggling and feeling like if you dont haggle you are getting a bad deal...the worst! But going in, before I even contacted them, I knew all about the car I was looking at, the price was fair, they respected my time and covered everything with me with absolutely no pressure. I had to have my car shipped in, and the whole process was easy. I traded in my old car, bought the new one and was very happy with the whole process. And I also felt that they were keeping all of us safe with their covid safety procedures. All masks in place and worn properly, and everything clean. That means a lot.
Great experience at CarMax. No hassle appraisal and quick turnaround on the sale. Much better than dealing with haggling dealers.
Markus and Dakota were efficient, informed and helpful. I will definitely be back.
Everyone was friendly and we were treated with respect. We were given a very fair offer on our vehicle and the transaction was completed in about 30 minutes. Our customer Specialist Tyler N was very easygoing and explained everything in great detail, but efficiently. He was also very helpful in telling us about getting a refund on the warranty that we had purchased, and got us the notarized copy that we needed the next day
Easiest car I ever bought!
Zander was awesome fast, friendly and courteous outstanding job !
Great service by manger Jesse Levin and staff .Sold my car without any issues.
CARMAX was the best hassle free experience Ive ever had while buying a vehicle!! The employees where phenomenal and the process was virtually painless! Would definitely recommend the Bloomington Illinois location for your next vehicle purchase!!
Second time I have bought from CarMax. It’s an extremely easy process, they are above board, and they’ve earned my complete trust.The second time I did a TON of research ahead of time, and while I had several offers for my old car, they gave me the best deal for my trade in by $500, and the purchase price of my new car was EXTREMELY competitive.They’ve got themselves a customer for life.
Markus, the Specialist, who helped me was very professional and easy to work with. He was also knowledgeable about different options that helped me tremendously.
I live in Washington, IL. I purchased a 2017 Toyota Highlander in Georgia and Carmax shipped to Bloomington, IL. I was told it would take up to two weeks and that is exactly what it took. After initiating the deal I remembered a question that I had forgotten to ask - was the previous lessee a smoker? I called my contact back and was told I could check it out when the car arrived in Bloomington. Not wanting to wait two weeks to find out that I didnt want the car, I attempted to call the dealership in Georgia. I got a different contact who immediately had someone go out to the car and check it out - no smell of smoke.When the car arrived in Bloomington, my wife and I drove the 43 miles to check it out. I popped the hood and noticed enough pine needles in the back of the engine compartment to build a couple of birds nests -- the salesperson immediately removed them. It was a rainy day when we took the car for a test drive. Everything was fine and I liked the car, except the windshield wipers didnt do a very good job. I mentioned about the wipers to the salesperson and he remarked that he had noticed that when he brought the car up for the test drive. Their shop wasnt open, so they purchased some new wipers and gave them to me to install when we got home. There was only one key fob and I was told I would have to come back (86 mile round trip) on the day when their key fob guy was there. We got a phone call on the following Monday saying we could get a new key fob at a local Toyota dealership. That was good news. A few days later when the weather had finally cleared, I was cleaning the windshield and realized that the old wipers (both were actually broken) had deeply scratched the windshield on both the passenger and driver sides. I emailed my salesperson three times to ask if Carmax would replace the windshield. I got no response. I tried calling and eventually was connected to a different salesperson. He immediately set up a purchase order to have the windshield replaced at SafeLite. I was very pleased that Carmax would cover the cost. I was later told my original salesperson had been on vacation.You tout that your cars go through a lot of inspections. I assume that includes opening the hood. I found the pine needles; I complained about the windshield wipers not working well, which your salesman was aware of; I found the scratches on the windshield; and I complained about there being a single key fob. Had I never brought any of these items up, they never would have been dealt with.Ultimately, I am pleased with the car and would consider using Carmax again but believe all of these items should have been dealt with before I ever saw the car.
The experience was top notch. Would definitely recommend. Easiest car sales experience I have had by far. You have a really great group in Bloomington/Normal!!
I was Great car buying experience. All of the staff at the Bloomington,Illinois store are Great and easy to work with.
Staff was Covid conscious and quickly attended me. Chairs were sanitized after people got up. Small delays in getting paperwork going, overbooked the 9am slot.
Quick, no hassle, no auto shaming, no maybes...just an honest inspection-verification and offer.
The process was simple and I was explained about the process at each and every stage in a very transparent manner. The staffs were helpful and courteous. Would definitely recommend.
Was very friendly and helpful in getting my son a loan for a vehicle.
Colin was a very nice guy who helped me out even though I probably caused him more trouble than I should have. This location was pretty fast at getting the whole process done.
We had a great car buying experience here! Having been on several car buying trips, this was by far the easiest car to purchase. The staff are all friendly and very easy to work with. Id recommend making an appointment if you dont want to wait to be seen.
Great knowledgeable staff who were polite and patient the entire process. Bought my first car here and couldn’t be any happier. Overall a very positive experience
This was the second time that I sold a car to Car Max. Both times a I was very satisfied with the experience. Although I know that they got a good deal on the transaction, I received 2K more than the dealership offered for trade in- a win/ win for both of us!!
Great staff! Very helpful and very knowledgeable. They explained everything and made selling our moms car uncomplicated. It is definitely worth stopping in there and get a car or sell one. Thank you for being so helpful!!
Sold them my car. They offered me $600.00 more than anyone else. Easy.
Throughout my years of buying used cars. Ive had issues with inheriting other peoples car troubles when I bought used cars over the years. My wife recommended that we should go to carmax when I went to Byrider. ( Please note: Byrider has a friendly staff, but lacks a lot more in their quality for cars including their finance options. If I wouldve stayed and start with them. I would be broke for their payment options.) My Carmax specialist was Mr. Austin. He was polite, knowledgeable and explained everything very well. Mr. Austin thank you for recommending this awesome vehicle to me. Youve been a lot help. I dont recommend any other place but Carmax. Mr. Austin also taught me that my old trade in actually 3 to 4 other owners. That explains a lot to why it was road hard and put away wet. I was sort of sad for trading my vehicle in, but felt great to get something that was recommended from a professional such as Mr. Austin. Ive seen some of the reviews and have to disagree with most of them. They have plenty of inventory and if not, they are willing to have one car shipped to their location. ( thats great I might add). They have cars fitting my budget no different than any other customer out there. Thats on the person on how they build their credit, spend their money, and life variables. You cant blame anyone other than yourself. I looked at higher priced vehicles on the lot and almost walked away until my wife pointed out the vehicles credit ratings and payment listings. What made my experience even better is when Mr. Austin pointed out the car that I recently bought with no pressure. This is newest car that Ive ever bought from being 2 years old. No repairs are needed. Nothing wrong with the alignment. New tires. Great brakes, rotors. Its like flying a jet. I feel safer than my previous vehicle. Especially when winter is coming.
Reserved vehicle, test drove and said we would be back to get it the following Thursday or Friday. Showed up with a check, they would not honor the deal. Will not ever buy there again and will spread the word to not do business there.
I felt like you were treating me better than family ever did in my whole life.and I really appreciate that they really cared enough for my family to keep wiping everything down no one was sitting standing idle theyre always doing something to improve the facility and I was so used to working with dealerships that gripe about every little thing that you need done its like when you go to ask him to do something for you its like theyre doing you a favor where at CarMax it wasnt like that thank you CarMax
We had a great experience at Carmax this past weekend. I was selling my car since we had upgraded to a larger family vehicle, and it was painless. The staff was friendly and informative and I was very happy with the offer they gave us. We were in and out in about an hour. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell a car!
I know I excepted the offer but after I thought about it I think you were about 3 to $4,ooo below what it was worth. All I can say is I wish I could buy it back the 2009 ford F150 truck Larait 4WD
First time stepping into CarMax. I wanted to go in & see what was out there, next thing you know I walked out with a car of my choice. The sales consultant was very friendly, knowledgeable, answered all the questions and concerns i had. It was my first big purchase on my own and it went very well. I would definitely recommend them to others.
Used car prices are high. Buy your car might be good if they want it but they usually dont. Nicer folks than typical car dealership.
They make everything so easy. I had a problem with my Credit Card and they helped me solve it and waited for few days without rushing me for they payment, the kept my car on hold until I solved my problem with the payment. Tyler is a great salesman, he helped me decide between 2 cars and suggested what is right for me like he knows me well.
They were all very friendly and helpful. Despite a glitch in title delivery, they made things great. Very impressive group all around.
I recently Purchased a car from CarMax in Bloomington. staff here were amazing! Austin was not pushy and let me decide. Marcus, his mentor was of great help and Emily was a great manager! Overall great experience and car quality! I would purchase from them again.
My experience with CarMax was very positive. So far the car I purchased has met all of my expectations. The only thing that the mechanic that looked it over said is that the tires could have been rotated. All of the fluids were great and he was surprised that I had done such a good job buying a car on my own. He said you did good
Easy experience and a fair price was paid for my vehicle.
Car Max was easy to shop, was able to order my car and get it in a timely manner, price was competitive, very organized.
Fast and easy process. I will buy my next car here.
Found a great vehicle that is perfect for me. Best car buying experience ever. Staff was friendly and helpful with the process. Never thought of going to CarMax before but sure glad I did.
Working with Jesse at the Bloomington, IL Carmax was a great experience. Friendly, to-the-point, knowledgeable, fair, etc. The store was clean, all staff were friendly, all current COVID restrictions observed. Dont know where I would get a better experience and a better deal. Thanks, CARMAX!
I had a vehicle transferred to this store from Tinley Park, IL. Although you cannot control the speed of the mail (title, delivery of the car, etc) they were willing to work with me & make things work with my weird work schedule and needs.The particular car I was looking to purchase had some minor imperfections on the paint of the inside of the car. They were on it and off getting it painted to look its very best — for no additional cost. Although there was some miscommunication between the sales rep and the technician about whether the car was ready or not... within a few days the car was ready for me to take home. The only thing that I have to say negative about CarMax, they do not detail/clean the cars OR if they do, they do not clean them very well as I found two very old pieces of produce under the front seats (avocado & lime - thank god the car didn’t smell/no mess)Fast forward 3 months later. I notice there is some pealing of the paint on the grill of the car. I contact CarMax Bloomington & they were more than willing to fit me in to their schedule to get it looked at. I thought it would be a long shot but they were taking a look at what they could do. They gave me two options, replace the grill or the technician could touch it up himself. Plus they did it for free! It looks a lot better!I can say it was not a “perfect” experience, however it wouldn’t make me have a negative view of the company/store or prevent me from referring anyone to the company**there is no real room for negation in the prices which is a downfall, plus weird store hours...
These wonderful people were just that. They kept me up to date, informed and were so helpful. They even refunded what I paid to have the car shipped because there was a glitch and the title wasnt there when I went to test drive it and purchase it. $449 back for a few days inconvenience. This is where I will go next time I buy a car.
I picked the car over the phone when the internet specialist read me the description. The moved the car from a different store to my local store a day earlier than expected. My salesman was one of the nicest person Ive ever met in sales & when a couple of glitches came with my financing they didnt give up. They worked hard while we went to lunch & when we came back they had gotten everything handled. I loved my experience and I love my car!!
Excellent no hassle experience. TJ was very easy to work with and professional. Very satisfied and would highly recommend CarMax to anyone looking to buy a car!
I had the absolute best experience here! This CarMax has one of the most amazing, caring, considered, truthful, and down to earth staff Ive ever had the pleasure of associating with! They work with you in every way to make your car buying experience as swift and enjoyable as possible; I definitely recommend getting a car from here! If it was possible I would give them a 6 star rating instead of five thats how good they are; they most certainly exceeded my expectations!
I wanted a particular vehicle... certain features, certain color, certain year. I set out searching nation-wide for the one that had the least miles.Found it... On CarMax!In my particular case, patience was required as it took awhile to complete the entire process. Of course the first thing was having the truck shipped across country to my state. If a person was shopping off their local CarMax lot, it would have took a lot less time.The people were friendly and professional AND gave me the best price on a trade-in, that exceeded KBBs top quote!! But, they want good trade ins, and this may not be true for every car... I utilized their financing and got a very competitive rate, quick and easy!I would highly recommend shopping with CarMax, especially if you want to find a great deal!
Working with Carmax was super easy. We had a terrible experience previously at another dealership so of course we were nervous.But the staff here was very friendly and inviting just like family! Thank you so much! Love our new car and hope to purchase more from here down the line!
Ultimately, only two things matter about my CarMax experiences: I had fun every time I went in during the process of contemplating selling my car, and CarMax offered me almost 3x the price as the dealership I bought my car from. Sold!
Friendliness is definitely a five star. The amount offered for our trade was extremely low, so we purchased elsewhere! (Their offer was more of what we expected.)
My experience at CarMax couldnt have been better! I had different needs, which the staff bent over backwards to meet for me. Things were also complicated by winter weather, and me driving from Peoria, but, again they were very accommodating. They even overnighted my sunglasses to me when I left them in my trade-in! Highly recommended.
The team at the local office were super friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in. They immediately owned the all aspects of the deal. I had looked at another location and had a car shipped to them. This was not a bother and they took it and made the experience awesome. Drove the car home. Highly recommended.
It was a great experience amazing personnel very knowledgeable fair pricing
By far the smoothest, most hassle-free car buying experience Ive ever had. The ONLY negative was having to drive from Champaign to Bloomington. When will you guys open up a dealership here? :) But totally worth the drive. Thanks, guys!
The staff was very polite and professional. The building is also nice. Unfortunately I was shocked at the low ball appraisal for my car. Its a 2015 vehicle with 15k miles. Its in perfect condition. KBB said my car was worth 24k trade in and 26k private party. I was offered 19k. What a joke. I also looked at their cars while I waited and was not impressed.One star for a courteous staff.
The process was pretty efficient, it took longer than I expected, but I was satisfied with the offer.
Excellent experience from start to finish. After visiting 3 traditional dealerships and experiencing their deceptive practices, I went to Carmax and got exactly what was advertised. The people were friendly, straightforward, and even had excellent follow up after the sale. My salesperson was Jesse Levin.
Best car buying experience ever! I hadnt purchased a car in 7 years and really dreaded it. But we did all of our shopping on-line and searched across the country via their website. The website has everything about the car including its history. Then, when we found one in another city, had it transferred for free to Bloomington! I purchased it and decided in 24 hrs that I did not like it. No problem! They transferred ANOTHER vehicle in and traded it out without any questions or problems. They even allowed me to drive the 1st one until I had the replacement, within a week, and I am so happy! Staff was always very friendly and helpful! I would recommend Carmax to just about anyone! Thank you!
I had the best experience here and I wasnt rush to buy just any vechicle!! Jesse was great and she made sure I received what I wanted!! I recommend going here!!!
I love the concept of Carmax. I have sold 2 cars and purchased 2 cars. Always goid customer service and they do not hassle you.
Excellent service! They made sure selling my car an easy and quick experience.
Getting my Cruze checked out the service manager is very good and explained everything to me and he is extremely helpful. I highly recommend CarMax for buying new cars and there service dept.
CarMax was great from the moment I got there to the moment I left. Amazing customer service.
Carmax did a great job in finding me the car I wanted! I found a 2016 Cadillac CTS in Alabama and had it shipped to the Bloomington location.Austin was my representative and did an AWESOME job staying in touch with me and walking me though the process.The best part of my Carmax experience was the no haggle price concept they offer. I could not find a 2016 Cadillac CTS anywhere that was not atleast $3,000 more and that was without tax, title, etc.Besides Austin being a great rep, the rest of the staff was very inviting, helpful and always attentive. They even let me come in the shop, put the car on the lift and let me do my own inspection of the car.I got a GREAT car, with low miles, and the best price I could find anywhere! I really like their concept of the car buying experience and would HIGHLY recommend working with Carmax!Thank you Ausin Wheeler, and all of the Carmax crew!!Bill
I worked with Katie yesterday. They appraised my truck in a timely manner and I was extremely happy with what Carmax had to offer. I also have a car coming in to be looked at and it didnt get there on time and they were extremely apologetic. Overall I had a great experience and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable.
The guy, Randy was very nice and helped me a lot. Nice place.
If you like over paying and dealing with arrogant sales people! This is the place for you! Buyer beware! Do your homework and research and you will ALWAYS find the vehicle you are looking for at a better price and with better warrenties elsewhere! Dont be lazy and shop at Carmax.
