I had a Challenger shipped from Indiana and the process was easy and convenient. There were people that called periodically to keep me updated. I had my own financing, but Garrett made the sale as easy as it could be. Probably the best car buying experience Ive had and the price was fair too! Great experience without all of the usual dealership games.

CarMax in Springfield, IL is great!! I would recommend them to anyone. My family has purchased the last three cars from them. Prices are great! Service is out of this world! Avoid the car selling gnats that follow you around the lot and go to CarMax! No pressure just help!

This was our first experience with CarMax online and in person. The Springfield IL location was stress free and Tucker was pleasant and informative. We recommend visiting or contacting them! This will be the future of our car purchasing!!

Very kind, attentive, and well educated about their cars. All associates were attentive and friendly from the time I ordered it from out of IL, to the final transaction in IL.Not pushy and informed me of options but were laid back about it. I was pre approved for financing, and it was the fastest transaction (but thorough)I have ever experienced when buying a car. Much appreciated!! Seems when buying new or used from any other dealers over my 38 yrs of buying vehicles, it takes 3 hrs or more...not at CarMax!!Thank you...great vehicle!

I sold a 2009 Nissan Altima to CarMax and got a very fair price for it. The workers were friendly and professional and I would rate my experience as excellent. Thank you for making my potentially painful situation (sale of a car that served me well) into a very pleasant experience.

Sold my vehicle to CarMax and the process was so smooth. They qoute the price as per the market value and the offer was valid for 7 days. Went back on the 6th day and the whole process was completed in an hour. Highly recommend CarMax

Car was extremely dirty when I went to test drive, had to wait for it to be cleaned and it was a rush job. Getting paperwork and financing done was a breeze that’s why I gave it a 1, overall experience could be way better. It takes forever to get calls returned or you have to call them to ask why no call yet, servicing the vehicle is rushed and inconvenient you have to set appointment weeks out to get things done that should’ve been done before purchase. I love my vehicle though

Jerry was awesome when helping me sell my car! The whole process was a breeze, took less than an hour (keep in mind I had an appointment), and I got a great offer on my car. Him and the staff were all super friendly as well as cautious when it comes to social distancing to keep us safe. Highly recommend and would happily do business with this team again.

Review №16

Love the car but it was a horrible shipping process. 11 days to ship a car 300 miles and no one could tell me where it was or that the car even was delivered to the local store. I found out when I showed up at the store. Great car easy financing process but whoever is in charge of shipping deserves to be fired. 3 stars just because i like the car.

Review №17

CarMax did a great job of covering all the bases. Got a great deal and recieved a gem of a car. Couldnt have asked for better!!! My only issue was the push for the CarMax Care package that is way overpriced. Not only would it have jumped my car payment 60-70 dollars higher, but when I asked how much the diagnostic fee/deductible fee would be, there was no answer given or gotten since I knew that there is always a fee whether its a Dodge, Ford or Chevy dealership just to name a few, not just CarMax. Still, I would and will do business with Jerry and Tyler at CarMax Springfield in the future.

Everyone I met at CarMax was incredibly friendly. Jerry was very professional and polite. I got an even better price for my used car than what I had expected to get from them. I would highly recommend CarMax (especially this location) to anyone looking to sell or purchase a car.

We were told to go outside unless we wore a mask. It was cold and windy. Instead of offering us a mask they talked to us outside. they told us we could go walk around the lot and that was all the service that they provided for us. It was almost like they didnt want our business. I wont be going back.

I had a very pleasant experience at CarMax. A car I loved was shipped to my preferred location. I test drove it, purchased it, and have been driving it one month with no problems.

It took way to long to be able to get my vehicle. I was told I only needed two items but shortly after arrival there were more things I need. I had to visit the store three times a total of 8 hours altogether before I finally was able yo drive away! My car needs an alignment, oil change and the brakes are squeaking.

We found the entire experience was stress free and convenient. I will never purchase a vehicle from a dealership ever again. This is how to buy a car.In a global pandemic, The staff wore masks, plastic shields at all workstations and hand sanitizer conveniently located throughout the store. We felt safe, comfortable and free of any stress. The manager and staff were professional, cordial and friendly. Thank you.

Youre better off going to the shadiest used car salesman u can find. They made a low ball offer on my Truck and tried to sell me one of their over priced POSs with interest so high, Id still be paying on it when Im in a nursing home! Honestly, my experience was that they tried to take advantage of me, just be careful...Might as well go to a REAL dealership.

Review №46

The process of selling our car was quick and easy. They did a thorough hands free appraisal and gave an offer that was comparable to KBB & Carvana. We had 7 days to accept the offer. Once we accepted, it was a relatively quick process to sign the necessary papers and receive the check. Tyler did a great job of explaining the process and I would highly recommend him, as well as Carmax if you need to sell or trade a vehicle.

When signing the paperwork for your car they make you feel like your covered. But if ever there is a problem all the sudden you have a deductable to pay to have it fixed. This was NEVER told to us at signing.

Great experience! I sold my car to Carmax for about three times what a new car dealer offered in trade, which was a very fair price The facility was clean and modern and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The process was quick and easy. A special thanks to Tyler Cowin for being so helpful in negotiating this process.

Purchased a 2017 Ford Focus ST. This was the second car from CarMax and it won’t be my last. Staff worked with me to ensure I was 100% satisfied with the car. I hate dealerships but CarMax has a completely different feel and it why I’ll continue to go back and recommend them to others.I gave 4/5 stars only because there were some spots where communication was lagging. But overall a great experience.

Review №54

I never enjoy spending large amounts of money. So for me to give you 5 stars you did a lot right. I loved the no pressure sales approach. I live 50 miles away from the store I bought from. I am a firm believer in buying local. The whole process was smooth and mostly painless. I will give you a look whenever Im in the market again. The only thing I would recommend would be a referral bonus. Most car lots are giving $50-$100 referral for cars purchased. Makes a person want to reccomend you to his friends.

Review №58

Short backstory: I was at the last 3 months of a current lease. When the local dealer couldnt make me the deal I wanted on a new lease, Car Max came to the rescue. Since my leased car had so few miles on it, Car Max bought my car for about 3k more than what I had to option to buy it for. That is money in my pocket. Literally from appraisal to finish, these men and woman were amazing. Extremely low pressure, friendly, and were all wearing masks to respect concerns over COVID. I cannot sing their praises enough, and will recommend this business to anyone who wants to listen. Although I did not purchase a car from them, their attitude never changed. A great business model in the car industry. Bravo, Car Max!

Review №61

Buying a car is an exciting, nerve-wrecking, and sometimes stressful moment that most people I know have all experienced at least once. Ideally you want the car of your dreams, @ a rate you can afford, without all the hassle. & THAT is exactly what I experienced with CarMax in Springfield & more! From the beginning to the very end, the process was smooth, hassle free & stress free. I cannot say enough good things about this company and dealership & have recommended it to all of my friends and family in the market for a new vehicle! 10/10 will definitely return in the future!

Review №62

CarMax is a great place to shop for a used vehicle at a great price. They also offer top dollar for used vehicles. They were well above other offers on my car when I sold it to them. They buy vehicles from owners and it is so simple (give them the title and they give you the money for it). Also very friendly staff and a clean welcoming waiting area.

Melissa was friendly and knowledgeable. She helped me focus in on whats important to me in a car, which helped me eliminate cars that wouldnt suit my purposes. She wasnt pushy, and she didnt talk down to me. I truly appreciated her help. The facility is bright and welcoming, and seating is comfortable. I believe coffee & tea were free, and there is a vending machine for soft drinks & snacks. I havent decided on a car yet, but when I do, I wouldnt hesitate to buy it from Springfield Carmax.

This was easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had. They transferred the vehicle I wanted from St. Louis for free, I was able to get an awesome interest rate and my saleswoman Carla and the manager Stew was the greatest!

We sold our little cargo van to Car Max and they made it a very fast and simple process. Their offer was surprisingly higher than I expected so it was a no-brainer to sell to them rather than hassling with private party buyers. Everyone we met was extremely nice and professional too. Wouldn’t hesitate going back.

This was our first experience with CarMax, and it was a very good experience. We made an appointment to see the car, and they held the car for us for two days until we could get there to see it. When we arrived, the staff was very courteous and professional. The car was just as it was presented. After two test drives, we decided to purchase the car. The closing process was as quick as it could be given all the paperwork, but still a good experience. There was an issue with a turn signal, but they scheduled an appointment so we could get it fixed at no cost. So, overall, I would recommend CarMax as an option if you are in the market for a car.

I needed a car after mine was totaled when a 18 year old kid pulled out in front of me. I wanted a newer Honda fit with a manual transmission. Not ready to find. CarMax had one in another state and transferred it to my local store free.Got a call that it was here and 45 minutes later I was test driving it. Bought the car and the process was easy. No pressure at all and the price was fair. The whole process took about 1 hour from when I got there to when I drove off in the new to me Honda fit.I would consider doing this again.

Review №71

The best car shopping experience Ive ever had. Mike was the one who helped me, he introduced himself then took me out to the lot, he told me to go ahead and look around and see if anything interested me and that hed be back to check on me in a bit. I wondered around looking at their selection for about 15 to 20 minutes, at least I think thats how long it was, I really wasnt keeping track because I was enjoying browsing through all the car with a salesperson talking in my ear nonstop, they dont do that here. When he returned he asked if I had found anything that interested me, I told him I had, he took me back to his desk, pulled up info on the car and bought the car around to take me to rest drive it. Everyone here was helpful and pleasant, never did any of them ever try to pressure me into a sale. I highly recommend this car lot, Ive never been able to say that until now. Thank you Mike for all your help.

Great experience at CarMax. Walked in to test fit a certain car (Im 66 and needed legroom)....they were extremely helpful, and ended up ordering a car shipped to Springfield IL location, went back in after it arrived, and drove it away....undeniably the most hassle-free car buying experience I have ever had.

After dealing with the run-of-the-mill dealerships I needed something different. CarMax was there every step of the way! They brought the car I wanted up from St. Louis with no obligation! The staff was friendly and actually listened to what I wanted. Since CarMax is not commissioned, they care about the vehicles they are selling and whether or not they run well. It was a breath of fresh air buying from CarMax. Highly recommended!

Review №82

Definitely going to continue to shop at CarMax. I got a great deal, and the people were great. There were some delays, paperwork issues, and a broken part that CarMax replaced within the first 30 days, and the first car I nearly bought had to be returned in the 7 day trial period, leading me to have another car transferred. The service recovery was awesome, but I would have preferred to not return to the store 3-4 times after the purchase, and vehicle delivery time was longer than expectedAll is well that ends well. CarMax stood behind their sale. Just remember: all dealerships buy their cars at the same auto auctions, they have little control over mechanical conditions that arent easily detected. ALWAYS have a used car inspected by an independent mechanic. I love my car and got a fair price. I enjoyed the pressure free atmosphere, and would recommend CarMax to anyone.

One thing that stood out at this Carmax is how friendly the people are. Very little pressure too! Prices are 3-4 grand over the value of the car so don’t expect a steal here. Don’t even think about trading in an older car, my perfectly clean running, reliable, and functioning Honda was appraised and 30% of its value.

Spfld IL, What a joke! They say they offer top dollar for your vehicle running or not. How so? when I brought a vehicle in(02 Dodge Durango) mint condition in (only thing wrong was the fuel pump ceased up a month prior) they offered me $100 when KBB quoted it $1500. I left furious and would of been happy with $500-$1000, I called a salvage yard and got twice as much. Thanks for nothing Carmax. Be prepared to be duped.

Review №93

Service after the sale was insanely good. Carmax in Springfield sold me a Chevy Volt at a competitive price, then enabled me to use Carmax Bloomington (which is closer to home) for a warranty issue. While the issue was being worked on, they gave me a loaner, looked up other service bulletins unasked (not just recalls) and fixed those, too. Washed the car and topped off the gas and electric charge upon return. Best dealer experience ever.

Review №94

My 2004 F150 was getting long in the tooth and I decided to look for a newer one. I had seen the new CarMax store in Springfield so I went on line. I found several vehicles that fit my requirements, but none in the local area. However one was in Indiana and they could ship it to Springfield, no charge, for inspection and test drive. So I went to the local store and started the procedure.I had an offer on the old truck within an hour, and it was a fair offer, so we proceeded to have the other vehicle shipped in. It arrived sooner than they estimated. I was very satisfied with the entire experience, and the new to me vehicle is everything CarMax said it would be. No complaints at all.
