    Communication with Aaron

    Unfortunately, the worst car shopping experience I have ever had due to customer service. To make a long & drawn out story short, I've bullet pointed the prominent contributions to my experience: Ordered a Mazda CX-30 to be shipped from Texas. January 15: Spoke with German, who said the vehicle was flagged for repair before shipping (later stated it was a title transfer issue). January 16: Informed reservation would expire the next day; told to schedule an appointment immediately. January 17: Asked about "express pick-up" before seeing or test driving the vehicle (declined). Met Aaron, who became primary salesperson. Test drove vehicle; decided to return Monday to finalize decision. Had to reschedule Monday appointment; Aaron said Saturday would be fine. January 20: Received message that vehicle hold was at 6 of 7 days and an appointment must be scheduled immediately to avoid losing reservation. Scheduled Saturday, 1/24/26 at 3 PM; received confirmation text. January 21 (6:29 PM): Cristiona (Sales Manager) stated appointment was scheduled in error and vehicle would be released unless customer came in that evening. Expressed frustration about lack of clarity regarding 7-day hold policy. Felt pressured to provide documentation to create buyer's order before second appointment. Declined to move forward without planned visit. Saturday Appointment: Noticed full tank showing only "170 miles until empty." Low key fob battery warning. Requested battery replacement and service check for gas gauge. Aaron agreed to replace batteries. Aaron and Cristiona refused service check on gas gauge; stated vehicle would self-adjust and referenced 10-day return policy. Felt pressured to complete purchase. Asked to leave vehicle on lot until partner could pick it up; felt unheard as Cristiona repeatedly focused on reservation expiring. Aaron commented, "I could never do her job," after interaction. Waited for finance processing while Aaron assisted other customers. Completed purchase; vehicle left on lot for later pickup. Vehicle Pickup: Full tank now read "160 miles until empty." Approximately 9 miles into drive home, "Engine Oil Level Low" warning appeared. Researched warning; advised to stop vehicle immediately due to potential low oil pressure. Upon parking at home: oil warning, tire pressure light, and low key fob battery warning all active. Contacted Dean (Sales Manager). Arranged for vehicle to be towed next morning. Service findings: Oil filter and drain plug seal leaking (required replacement). Battery disconnected and instrument cluster reset to correct gas gauge. All tires underinflated. Key fob batteries needed replacement. Frustrated because gas gauge and key battery issues were raised before purchase but not addressed. Requested dealership keep vehicle; planned to return it within return window. Attempted to contact Aaron regarding title assistance; message left on read. January 31: Called twice requesting Aaron; told messages would be relayed. No return call that evening or following business day. February 2: Returned to dealership to complete return agreement. Assisted by Casey. Casey acknowledged experience was not typical but stated he may have responded similarly regarding gas gauge concern. Aaron approached, asked what was wrong. Expressed dissatisfaction and lack of follow-up. Aaron stated he was busy until 9:30 PM Saturday; did not acknowledge lack of Monday follow-up. Observed unprofessional behavior (frustrated gestures, walked back to his desk and frustratingly pushed a chair, walked out of the office for 10 minutes). Overall experience included: Confusion and pressure regarding reservation/hold policy. Dismissal of mechanical concerns prior to purchase. Multiple preventable mechanical issues immediately after purchase. Lack of communication and follow-up from sales staff. Unprofessional conduct from management and sales representative. Result: Returned vehicle and lost trust in dealership due to poor communication, pressure tactics, unresolved mechanical concerns, and lack of accountability.

    Huge crack in my rim, started losing air Saturday night on my way home

    Huge crack in my rim, started losing air Saturday night on my way home from the dealership. I did not hit anything, had to have Tesla come out and fix it. They said the bike slime was someone's attempt to get this car sold. It cost me $1958, and the Tesla mechanic said even if I had hit a curb or pothole the crack would not be this big. Carmax refused to call me back. Mind you it's been since Saturday night that I've had this car. It sat in the driveway Sunday and I barely made it to work by 1pm yesterday. Do not do business with Carmax. They are liars and schemers. All their money back guarantees are bogus. Be cautious with them.

    We bought a vehicle with CarMax. Dick Jones made the process very easy and is very friendly.

    I originally went to a dealer down the street and was horrendously low balled, luckily I decided to get a second opinion here and was able to a get a fair price for my car.

    If you want the best experience buying a car, go see Leo at this location. He's a great resource…read moreand knows a ton about all the cars. He's not a typical salesman, we didn't feel that unpleasant pressure like we've experienced at all the other dealerships. Just a super nice guy, knows a ton, and did everything he could to advocate for us to get a car we love. The rest of the crew was great to work with as well, all very nice and enjoyed working with them. If you're turned off by how other dealerships work, give Leo a shot, it was a genuinely pleasant experience..

    Bought my car here a few years ago and love it. However, I came in last week for an alignment and…read morehad to come in two more times after to get it done correctly. Each time I came in with an appointment after letting them know the alignment was still off and had to wait around 3 - 4 hours. Today they finally fixed my alignment at no extra charge, since I paid for it 2 visits ago. A silver lining is that every visit, the Service members were very kind, respectful, and clear in their communication which makes a huge difference. I still would not recommend getting serviced here though, as it seems that they don't thoroughly check their work the first time to ensure you're getting what you paid for. I've unfortunately lost about 10 hours of my life to the waiting room in the span of a week for such a minor service. Big shoutout to Trenton though, he was a big help today in getting this problem fixed finally. If you do choose to service your car here, ask for him!
