This has always been the place to go if it concerns selling/ buying a car. Sales and/ or buying team is exclusive I’ve ever met, consistent with the service, every time I’ve been there.Watch out NEW car dealers ; something they can/ should learn from - transparency & politeness at its best. Will always recommend CarMax as your first ( if not the last ) stop to sell & buy cars.
It wasnt really a five but compared to other car buying/selling experiences it was a 10.I got a quote online, went to CarMax and sold my Corolla for the amount quoted. Everything was clear and concise. All done in 90 minutes. The nice waiting room and vending area were a bonus.
My trade in was the highest offer from you so when we looked around, we found a nice car with low miles and couldnt turn it down. Financing was super quick and wasnt pressured at all! Thank u!!!
I started out with an appointment. I met up with John who confirmed the year, make model and I provided him with my online offer. John was quick, super nice and knowledgeable. I did not expect my experience to be as smooth and quick as it was. After John, I ended with Kathryn in the business center. She talked me through all the loose ends and payments. Everyone involved was so helpful, nice and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this location!
I made an appointment at CarMax in Naperville after I had gotten an appraisal online from them a few days earlier. I walked in and the man at the front desk greeted me with a huge smile. (I believe his name was Scott or Steve. Sorry!) I sat for one minute and they called my name. Ari took me to his desk and explained the process to me. He said it would take 45 minutes. To my pleasant surprise, 25 minutes later they called my name and he told me that they were going to buy my car for exactly what they told me online. I proceeded to the business office where I was greeted by Margarita. She was very warm and kind... Not to mention fast. I was in and out of there in less than an hour. I was so grateful for how easy they made this experience for me. Thank you all. I will definitely spread the word.
This is my second vehicle from CarMax. Always a great experience and great inventory. I worked with Al Styles and he was very informative and helpful. CarMax makes car buying very seamless. I would highly recommend CarMax over other car dealerships.
Overall it was great! I went in initially and found the vehicle I wanted only to find out someone else is test driving it and possibly buying it. Throughout my entire time I was kept updated with everything. So in the end the person didnt end up getting it and I was able to reserve it and purchase it. Costumer service was great and quick to process all of the paperwork. Everyone I worked with was professional and I will be buying my future vehicles and kids vehicles through here because of my experience. Thank you all again.
Got online quote in 5 mins. I had to drive for about 100 miles to Carmax. The evaluation was done in 30 minutes. My car was in the same shape as declared in the online form and the outcome of evaluation was same as the online quote. In another 30 minutes the car was sold and stepped out of the store with cheque in hand.. It was a fantastic experience selling the car.
Very well-organized process. Took my Jeep in to sell and was in-and-out in a reasonable amount of time. Price transparency, no hassle and a 7-day window for the offer. Glad I went this route with selling my car.
The entire procedure was very seamless. Nice to see they agreed to on-line quoted offer price to purchase car. then just had to wait for them to right check. The entire process took 1 hour from start to finish.
Just bought a car here and my second order is on the way. good experience . I chose them for two reasons.1. Reasonable price on the web, No games, No surprise, No additional costs, and no time wasted.which is big different from traditional car dealers. Similar to buying a Tesla, many things can be completed online, signed agreement and pick it up will not take more than an hour.2. Also Carmax provide 1,500 miles and 30 days of returns(no other dealer can do this), so all cars have to inspected before they put on the market. really nothing need to worry about it.However, if the car you order is shipped from an out-of-state Carmax, it may take more than a month. Some cars need to change the title in Illinois after they arrive, so better to ask sales before you order.
The sales guy was really informative and super patient. He walked almost the entire lot with me and helped me select the car that was just right for me. You guys dont need an appointment, just walk on in and someone will help you out!
The process was quick and the price given for my vehicle was very fair.
I never knew selling my car was this easy. Once we got agreed on a price after appraisal, the entire process took less than 30 mins. Very good service.
The purpose of my visit was to get a quote for my used car (
Extremely satisfied with my experience. Selling a car has never been faster. I was in and out with a check from CARMAX in 60 minutes. Unbelievable, I came in on a late Saturday afternoon expecting to be out by dinner time and low and behold I was out of there in 1 hr. The whole process is fine tuned and the team in Naperville executes magnificently. Really happy with my whole experience at CARMAX Naperville, IL.
We made an appointment at 6:15 for our appraisal and that was completed by 7, which was great. However, we were told that it would be about 3 hours before they could finish the payout, so we had to go home and bring it back to finish the next evening. This could have been problematic as we were buying our new car that day, but luckily, we had enough in our account to cover the down payment. Other than that, things went very well and the price they offered was way better than any other we had received.
We love the selling process, so convenient, no longer need to worry about the payment method, they give check that can deposit immediately. No longer need to take time to process the documents by myself. And most important is that they give very good offer, the price is sooo good that we made our decision to sell our car to them immediately. I love the experience, and would like to share with others as well.
I was helped immediately, which was great. Since it was my first time buying a car, I was confused majority of the way through it. I felt my representative was both helpful but also pushy in wanting me to hurry up, even though I didnt know the next step. What I thought would be a 2 hour experience turned into 5.5 hours because things took a slow turn once everything got sent to the business department.
Surprisingly smooth and absolutely painless. Went from appraising my car on Edmunds - seeing an offer that was way above the Edmunds price from Carmax, setting an appointment the same day to selling the car the same day. Offer price shown on Edmunds was honored - so no haggling. I guess, if youre honest about the state of your car, Carmax was very honest about its offer.
Sold my used truck. Took an hour and a half. Fast and efficient.
My transaction went very smoothly. The offer for my car was fair. Everyone super friendly and helpful.
I visited CARMAX to find out about selling an extra vehicle we no longer needed. We made an appointment and were greeted promptly when we arrived. They gave me a value for my truck which I thought was fair and in market value and I sold that day. The whole process took place within a reasonable amount of time. Thanks.
We were greeted by Jim at the front desk and the selection and purchase was a great experience for us. Jim was thorough, patient and kind. We recommend Car Max to our friends and family.
We had a great experience! Everyone was respectful and not pressuring us into any decision. They offered a market level price. We were given an estimate of time for the whole process and it was right on spot. Next time we will go straight to CarMax instead of trying to sell a used car by ourselves.Thanks!
Was very happy with my offer and customer service
Busy Saturday but everyone me know what to expect and worked as quick as they could. Everyone was super nice and professional
The process was streamlined since the last vehicle I sold there. Everyone was very helpful and professional. I got a great price for my vehicle. Only downside was they were very busy and I was there for almost 2 hours which is about an hour longer than last time. Overall I’m very satisfied with my experience and I will continue to be a CarMax customer! Thank you!
Ended up with a slight delta from my online evaluation, but that was largely my fault for getting the trim wrong. Everybody I encountered were friendly, efficient, and explained the process well. I went on a Saturday so it was busy, but I still didnt feel I waited an excessive amount of time between each step of the process; nonetheless, you should expect 60 - 90 minutes, so go a different day if you can. Came away with check in hand very pleased with the experience. So much easier than the worry of a private sale.
I bought and sold cars there, I feel that I got a fair deal and good service. I will keep using their services.
No hassle car shopping. We found a few cars on the website that we wanted to look at. Made an appointment. Selected our top choice. Went back the next day with our daughter to drive it. Purchased it that evening. Paperwork went very smoothly!!
I was greeted and immediate assign a person to help me. The process was smooth and easy. Thank you
Easily started online and easy follow up at the dealership when I was ready to sell. Paid same the same day after verification of what I entered online.
We were met with courteous staff and were taken care of quickly. The whole process was explained to us and we were out the door in under two hours, way less time than buying/selling from a car dealership.
Had difficulty getting two vehicles relocated from other sites even though I was paying for the transit fee. Could only book one at a time. Had to get a colleague to book the other one. Once both vehicles were here, customer service was good.
I bought my first car of of the lot with ray and he made sure I had one of the best first experience today would definitely recommend coming here
My experience was unbelievable. It was blood shed and happy tears. Bart did an outstanding job helping me find my dream vehicle. Patience is a virtue, they will get you into what’s creditable/suitable for you. Please allow them to work and watch a dream unfold. Thank you again Bart, you’re literally the best!
My salesman Mohammad is amazing my husband and I have been purchasing car from Carmax’s forever and we have had the same salesman Mohammad he’s a great salesman.
Was a pretty easy & smooth experience from start to finish. All employees that I worked with explained everything thoroughly & made it a positive experience.
Great service and quality of vehicles Adam was great to work with and I would recommend you ask for him.
A few weeks ago I was offered $600 for my car. I understand that the price is locked for 7 days but I couldn’t sell the car. When I went to the store I was offered $300. Which in my opinion was way too low. No way my car depreciated 50% in just a few weeks.
First, Larry helped us sell our car to Carmax. He was diligent, polite and thorough. Then after we agreed to the sell the car for the offer price, we worked with Isibel on the paperwork and fine touches to make the transaction complete. We left our house, did the sale and came home in 90 minutes. Fast & Efficient!
No option for a four and a half. Been great every time I have needed their services.
Experience was great. No fooling around, offer made was honored, and the process was very smooth throughout. Took a little over an hour to finish the whole deal. Happy with outcome.
Good selection but not what Im currently looking for for someone in my family.
Great experience. Tyree I believe his name was and Val are phenomenal! This location was very busy and all the employees working in the business area handled it like professionals. Keep up the great work everyone!
Incredibly friendly staff and easy process to sell my vehicle. Offered very generous market value, well above trade in at the dealership.
I received a GREAT offer and the whole process was very easy!
I thought the offer to sell my brothers van was reasonable. Of course we all think something is worth more than it really is.
2nd vehicle in 20 years Ive bought there. Dont know why I went elsewhere? The sales process has gotten even better. No haggling, nor high pressure sales. Even helped me deal with a problem title on my trade-in, without having to go to DMV. Extended warranty plans are cheaper than many of those you see on TV. Who does that?Photo Op- When you get your car theres Yellow bow put on it. Just a nice perk, especially for the 1st time car buyer. Your 16 year old daughter will lose her mind.... 😀
Carmax offered me more than I expected for my car. Well worth it.
Although the process to sell a company owned car was a bit overcomplicated, I understand the local manager was following the carmax process and we got the job done. I was happy with the price and sold a second car the next day.
No issues. No pressure or typical sales tactics. We scheduled a test drive in advance which helped. We didnt like the initial vehicle and our sales lady said lets see if we can find something you do like.We did and well pick it up this week.
Jay Elkhatib is amazing!! Absolute professional and respectful. He took the time to help me find the right car within my budget. I highly recommend seeking him out at the Naperville location!
Don’t sell your car to CarMax!Got a quote online & then took my car in. They spent 20 minutes looking at my car and then dropped the offer in half saying my transmission was slipping. That’s funny since the transmission was replaced a few years ago. Took it straight to the dealership to have them review the transmission and guess what? No issues. Got higher offers from the dealership & Carvana for my car.When I received my car back after the 20 min review my radio had also been changed to 95.9 Big County & the volume was all the way up. Kinda hard to listen to an old car with the speakers blaring isn’t it?
Straight forward experience. Not suitable for selling cars that have over 100k miles
Upfront, consistent, no hassle, fair.Selling my car out of lease. Barriers and incompetent service from Honda Finance caused the transaction to take over four weeks. Throughout that time, CarMaxs offers were consistent (four offers within +/- 1.4%).When I finally got title, CarMax paid what it offered. The inspection time was less than stated. I waited a little longer for the back-end paperwork than I had expected, but once my turn came, it was quick, easy and courteous (e.g., put my dirty license plates in an envelope and told me how to dispose of them.)CarMaxs disclosures and instructions were clear and accurate. CarMax paid me above local private transaction rate because it is able to ship cars to other markets using its own trucks. Unlike Vroom and Carvana, CarMax did not take a huge deduction for one fender-bender.You may or may not get more money from a private sale, but CarMax is safer, easier, quicker and much more transparent.
I was so excited and nervous as if I was going on a blind date lbs! Overall the process went a lot smoothly than I anticipated!!
Everything went pretty fast and the service was very professional. I don’t know how the business center employees are able to do so much every single day. Really amazing.
Including a car my adult child bought, we have bought 2 Honda Civics, 1 Honda Odyssey, and a Honda CRV (recent purchase) in last ~5 years.Transfer process from other locations is excellent (with reasonable fees based on distance). Top notch team, hassle free pricing and financing, and an amazing variety of cars to choose from.Adam D. was our salesperson this time around. Matt M. has helped us previously. Both were excellent sales people. Team supporting paperwork and payment processing is very engaging.Strongly recommend considering a CarMax purchase.
Seriously impressed with the efficiency and professional courtesy CarMax provided. I brought in a older family car and was simply made an offer I couldn’t refuse. They were extremely quick and respectful through the entire inspection and buying process. Much thanks to CarMax, they have a customer for life.
Carmax may be a giant company, but the people working in the business center of the Naperville location are amateurs. Tried selling them my Audi sq5. After accepting their offer and waiting for an hour, I finally was able to get to the business center to finalize the deal. I provided my payoff quote, and asked if there would be any reason that the 3rd party pay off number would be different than my individual number. She said no. I asked again, and she said NO. Of course, after waiting for another hour, she informed me that the Audi financial 3rd party payoff quote was 4K higher than mine, completely blowing up the deal. These people buy and sell thousands of car a week, but seem clueless to the process. Do your own research, and don’t rely on any information that you get from carmax about buying out your lease at risk of wasting your time.
Went really well pleased with how they serviced me
There were dividers everywhere needed, everyone was wearing a mask, and there were stickers on the floor to help with social distancing. Even when I gave a man my license to verify who was test driving the car and to make a copy of it so I could still have it with me while test driving, before handing it back to me he disinfected it.I felt very safe here. Great job to them on making this a safe experience.
Terrible I should never have to show the salesman my bank account balance to purchase a car! My family or I will never buy another car from carmax after this whole experience. The cars are trashed the quality of carmax is gone the cars have alot of hidden issues and the vehicles are just dirty
Weve had a fantastic experience working with CarMax. My wife and I have purchased two pre-owned vehicles with extended warranties and received a fair price for both trade-ins. The sales associates and their no haggle pricing is particularly appealing. Their service department communicates very effectively and treats customers with respect.
After searching for several months, and having one ridiculously bad experience after another with local dealers (theyre just the worst), I found the perfect car for me at a Carmax in California. Even after the shipping fee to bring it to the Naperville location is was STILL less expensive, with more options and fewer miles, than anything available locally.I dealt directly with 6 Carmax employees, both here and at their customer support center. All of them were fantastic. There was one problem with the original sale, and another with a minor repair after I took delivery. Everything was handled extremely quickly and professionally. I literally couldnt be happier with the car I found, or with the folks in Naperville who helped me get it.
The price Car Max paid for our used car was very good. The two guys who interviewed me and appraised the car were very professional and Covid conscious. Things fell apart when it was time for the car to get a final inspection and time to complete the sale. We were told 45 mins to an hour because there were other people in front of us. Fine. Well after an hour and other people coming and going We finally asked what the status was. The receptionist check and said as soon as we get your plates off the car well get right to the paperwork process. So I informed her that I still had the keys and the car is out in the lot, hows that all gonna work? Oh sorry, REALLY! I was asked to please bring the car into the inspection bay and then theyll get started. So another 45 minutes later we were done. Really, how could over look us. We stayed right in the waiting room area the entire time and you had my cell number just in case we wondered away. CarMax, Naperville you blew it!
The service department is great! Very fast and they have been very honest with me. I’ve dealt with Tom a few times and he always takes care of me and my car. He always takes strides to make sure my car gets the right care and diagnosis. It’s nice to know that warranties will be upheld without someone lying through their teeth to make a few bucks.
Zack made my experience at Carmax awesome! I love my car!
One of the best used car dealerships to buy from
I always have a great experience at Naperville Carmax; no matter if Im purchasing, getting an appraisal, or getting service. The team is always friendly, knowledgeable, and timely.
Super easy and fast. No haggling but you still feel like you are getting a great deal. Also, they offer a lot more for trade ins than the competition
This was our first time in and we were so pleased with our experience. We scheduled an appointment to have our cars value assessed for potential purchase. We got right in upon arrival. They walked us through the process every step of the way - everyone we interacted with was nice and helpful. We were pleased to be offered more than we anticipated on our vehicle, so we moved forward with the sale. The paperwork was processed in a very timely manner and before we knew it, we were on our way. I would highly recommend CarMax to anyone looking to sell their vehicle. I feel we got more for it than we would have at other dealerships or as a trade-in, and didnt have the hassle of a private party sale.
Just great from the start ro the end. Excellent service all the way through.
Great salesman. Listen to what I was thinking and offered alternatives. Actually went with his alternative. Closing slower than expected but bearable. They put the bow on the car but failed to clean the car especially the windows and remove the glue from their CarMax sticker. No complaints on vehicle. 3rd CarMax vehicle
CarMax has been a really good experience for us for many years. Highly recommended!!
Glas I decided to buy from Carmax. Easy, Breezy! Great customers service. Thanks to you all!
This review is about one of the employees of this location - Larry. Beige #2015Older guy with a nice mustache, he literally told me that I am wasting his time, and that he doesn’t want to answer any of my questions anymore.Terrible service! If you don’t like your job, Larry - quit.
I had a great car buying experience at Car-Max Naperville. It was the best that I have ever experienced at any of my past car dealership experiences.
Great Experience! We were walked through the process step by step-very streamlined. No hassle! We did our research on their website - picked out our car and took home that night! Great customer service by all!!
The sales staff was extremely helpful
Its great simple and quick to sell car at best price
Sold my vehicle here and they gave me a fair deal and the process was streamlined. Would sell my vehicle again here.
My whole experience that day was great. Since then, I have left two messages with service that nobody will return.
I had 3 different agents calling me telling me different things about the pickup/ delivery and registration of the car. There no organization just overall a very stressful process.
Best car buying experience ever
Great experience, smooth process and over all very satisfied!
In 2015 I bought one of their certified used vehicles for a seemingly reasonable price of 20k. Less than a year later, due to an unfortunate accident, the car ended up in a shop where the shop and the insurance adjuster later discovered previous damage that was undisclosed from a previous accident that ended up totaling the car, whereas the original estimate was well under the total value. I felt played and taken advantage, that I was sold a certified used vehicle that had previously sustained considerable damage that wasnt reported. Apparently their inspection isnt that thorough if an entire rear quarter could be repaired and repainted and still go unnoticed.I feel like I lost considerable value with this purchase and it resulted in the total after an accident instead of an insurance-paid repair, so went a month without a car and no rental coverage while I had to search for and purchase another one and sort the total out with my insurance.Buyer be ware, their certified used checklist is not that thorough, and will not catch previous accidents if they werent reported.
This Is Everything that happened. Came in picked out a car, Did all the paper work took 3 hours! System was down was told to come in Monday it will take 20 minutes car was technically mine then Was asked 2 times to reserve the unit via text / email Did reserve it both times quickly. When you came in to purchase. Unit was sold. And there was no call or anything before i came in to waste me and my fathers time, very unprofessional.
Great place and gave us same online offer in the store! Thanks
Just Wow!!! after trying to sell my car at a few other dealers I was completely frustrated. Went through the Kelly bluebook instant offer process. I went to the recommended dealers. The offers I received were ridiculous after waiting hours at each....... So I filled out the sell my car info on the CarMax website, set an appointment, and the offer came in a few hundred dollars less then estimate. I received $3.000 more than the standard dealerships were offering. They even stayed open late to take care of us. The whole process took about an hour and a half and we walked out with a fair market value check in hand!!!
Buying experience was as well as can be expected when purchasing a car. While less hassle than a new car dealer, more time should be spent by the sales personnel after purchase to explain the operation of the complicatedradio/navigation system/phone interchange etc. The buyer does not really know what questions need to be asked regarding the new technology.
Bill and Michael are great to talk and get help with in sales.
Thanks to Adam and Alissa for providing a. great experience during my car today in Naperville Ill. Their level of service was incredible. Thanks.
Even with all the covid precautions, the staff were all very friendly and professional. I was also running between there and another location so they were very accommodating. Was happy with the price for my car I traded in (sad to see it go). Would recommend anyone looking to trade in / sell their car to go to Carmax
Great place to buy a car, ask for Zack he will not do you wrong!
Car smells like smoke week after purchase. Car rides rough. Will be returning .
I had a great experience with Carmax. It was nice to buy a vehicle without the hassle of negotiations. They gave me an excellent price for my trade in and had the car I was looking for at the market average price. I would recommend anyone looking for a car to give CarMax in Naperville a visit.
