    '22 Tesla Model 3 LR

    Searched the CarMax website for a few weeks to find the car matching the year, make, model, color and features our family wanted. It was in Arizona however. Had it transferred to CarMax Torrance for a nominal fee and a representative had walked us through the process for purchase and kept us up-to-date as to when the vehicle would reach their location. When the car arrived, it was inspected over a few days then prepared for pick up at a certain time. There was a slight issue with the paperwork where another representative had made a typo which caused a delay in pick-up. Had to wait for a few hours for the documentation to be redone. But when all the forms had been completed and approved, we were able to drive off. Despite the hiccup during the first attempt to accept the car, the professionalism shown by the staff was exemplary. Would definitely recommend others to do business at this location.

    Brought a vehicle to Car Max to sell since we didn't want to deal with placing ads and meeting up for test drives. We received an offer which was valid for 7 days. Price they offered was fair and the process was seamless. They require the title and vehicle registration to complete the sale. If you have only 1 key they will adjust the price down. Luckily we had both so not sure what the adjustment would be. If 2 owners are on the title with an "or", then just 1 person needs to sign off. Car Max will handle all the DMV paperwork. Just remember to cancel your auto insurance for the vehicle. We walked out with a check after a short wait. Easy peasy.

    I recently just purchased a new vehicle and I was helped by Danny Scott. He was super amazing very thorough very detailed throughout the whole process explained everything to me and made me extremely comfortable. His customer service skills were so amazing. It will have me recommending my family and friends to come here and see him! The process truly exceeded my expectations. He even took my pic for me!!

    I went there twice to get their estimate on my cars, it's as straight forward and easy as you'd expect from what they're known for. Most used car dealers ask their potential selling customers to get a Carmax estimate before they make offers, I see why now. Because CarMax gave low end offers. The first car they offered $40,000, I sold it two weeks later at $50,000 with three committed buyers, I took the one came with cashier's checks from the same bank I use, and rest in cash, willing to meet at my bank to verify and deposit them before I sign off the pink slip. The second car they offered $11,000, I sold it the next day at $17,500 with two committed buyers, I took the one came with cash in his wife's purse and willing to meet at my bank to use the bank's machine to count bills. I fully understand most people are unwilling to go through the process to sell their own cars, as some people think the lines at Costco gas station is too long for them to save $0.90~$1.00 a gallon. I get it. What I'm saying is, CarMax is the easiest way to sell your car, but you are paying dearly for the convenience.

    My appointment was at 9:30am but I got here at 9:07am the mechanic was in my face with Anthony. So from the beginning I was waiting for them to put the Coolant Valve in and now he say an another light came on. So now he has to drive down there and pick up the part which means another hour. I hate coming to car places they always tend to over charge the customer. Especially when we are women. For many years. Here it is in 2025 I should have brought my man here with me . I actually made the appointment early so I can leave before he took his lunch break. At 11:30-12:30pm Ug I hope that's all he has to do to the car. Being off of work I don't want to spend all day here. And it's my dad's Birthday. He is 75 today. .

    In Palm Springs before turning it in to carmax for the check engine light blinking rapidly and entire vehicle shaking viciously.

    Extremely slow and unpractical service. I suggest a different Carmax location if you're looking so sell.

    How long does it take to sell my car to you?

    Hi Fernando - Thanks for reaching out! While the time it takes to complete the selling process can vary at each CarMax location, you can get a real offer in minutes by visiting https://www.carmax.com/sell-my-car

    Can they help finance people with bad/no credit with no co-signer ? I'm trying to build credit and am in need of a vehicle to drive to work and school and am self employed with door dash and postmates .

    Yes.. They have lenders who provide loans to all types of credit. Your financing rate will be high because of your credit.

    Carmax made it an extremely easy process, but most of all my sales rep, Robert Ota, made it an amazing experience.

Initially I had planned to sell through Carmax, Carvana and Bidbus. All of those options fell very short of my expectations numbers wise, especially Bidbus! The dealership I got paired with tried to scam me with extremely shady practices so I left promptly. Which lead me back to Abe and his team, I made an appointment online and was seen a couple days after, Abe greeted me after the appraisal and gave me a very fair number. He was also very transparent on the value of the car and what their price would be when they decide to sell it. Very rarely are car dealers so accommodating and kind when it comes to this business so I am very weary. Thank you Abe! I'll be back again in no time.

She was warm, helpful, and never once tried to push me toward anything. I told her I wanted to come in Friday and asked if they could hold the car. She said yes, no deposit required. That alone told me a lot about how these people operate. When I got there, the boss was around too -- relaxed, straightforward, no pressure. The young guy who took me on the test drive was great -- you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. That kind of enthusiasm is rare, and it made the whole experience easy. And at the front desk, I was greeted by a young lady whose name -- I promise I am not making this up -- is Jennifer Lopez. Lol. I bought a 2021 Tesla Model Y. When I got home and ran the numbers myself, I was off from their figures by three dollars. Three. No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons -- just taxes and DMV, exactly as discussed. They also buy and sell used vehicles, electric cars especially, so whether you're buying or selling it's worth giving them a call. Couldn't be happier with the experience. Would absolutely go back and would recommend them to anyone tired of the usual dealership runaround. Thank you to Jess, to the boss, to the test drive guy, and to Jennifer Lopez -- you're all great.

    I was referred to CarStub by my boyfriend, who had previously used them to sell a couple of older…read morevehicles, so I decided to give them a try when it was time to sell mine. As a nice bonus, CarStub also honored their referral program and gave him a $50 gift certificate for referring me. One of the biggest advantages for me was the convenience. As someone with a busy schedule, I appreciated that they came directly to me rather than requiring me to drive somewhere and spend hours waiting around. It made the entire process much easier to fit into my day. After providing some basic information over the phone, I scheduled a convenient time for them to come out and inspect the vehicle. Robert reached out ahead of time to let me know he was running earlier than expected, which I appreciated. Once he arrived, he took the time to explain the process and perform a thorough inspection. There was no pressure or hard-selling involved. If you have a realistic price range in mind, the negotiation process is straightforward and respectful. After agreeing on a price, we completed the paperwork on the spot, and I received payment the same day while arrangements were made to pick up the vehicle. What stood out most was the customer service. Robert needed one additional document after the sale and was willing to work around my schedule, even returning the following Monday to make the process as convenient as possible. Selling a car can often be stressful, but this experience was refreshingly hassle-free. Between the mobile service, same-day payment, and attentive customer service, I can see why they came highly recommended. If I ever need to sell another used vehicle, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Robert and the CarStub team again.
