“This was the easiest and most pleasant car-selling experience I’ve ever had. Frank Hardwick at the Charlottesville branch was kind, considerate, and professional from start to finish.
I had completed the online form before visiting and received a quote that was better than Carvana’s. Honestly, I expected the offer to be negotiated down once I arrived, but that never happened. I walked out with a check for the full quoted amount, and the entire process took only about an hour.
I had a lot of love for my SUV, and after visiting the center, I felt reassured that CarMax would find a good home for it. Thanks again, Frank!”

“We had a great experience all around purchasing with CarMax. We went in on several occasions to the Charlottesville location, and all of our sales reps were helpful, professional, and not pushy in the slightest. We first went with a list of cars to check out and test drive, and the process for that was super easy, even without calling ahead or making a reservation. After we narrowed it down to a make and model, we had a car shipped from another location to test drive the specific car at the Charlottesville location. (Some cars were free to ship; we paid a relatively small fee because the car we liked best was a bit further away.) The payment process was smooth. Then, we ultimately needed help with some paperwork about a month after purchasing (something the dealership was under no obligation to help us figure out), and they went above and beyond to make our lives easier. We've put about 6 weeks of driving and about 1,000 miles on the vehicle and couldn't be happier. Overall, a great experience, and we'd happily buy our next car from CarMax in Charlottesville or another location. Painless process, helpful staff, just a positive experience from start to finish.”

“First time shopping with Carmax and it was an incredible experience overall!!
Kareem and Jackson both helped me with selling a car to Carmax and located the car of my dreams which I did purchase.
These guys are amazing and very knowledgeable.
The interactions were pressure and stress free. They answered all my questions and concerns with zero pressure to buy.
I would give 10 stars to Pantops Carmax location.
Thousands of thank you’s for a priceless car purchase experience. I love my new ride!!!”

“Even though we did not end up buying a car from CarMax, we would still like to leave a positive review of CarMax and their salesman Kendell Berry. We came in undecided on 3 vehicles. We were able to see them and test drive vehicles. We were provided great insight and enjoyed or interaction with the people of CarMax. Unfortunately the mileage on the vehicle does not fit into the circumstances of our loan. We appreciate you guys taking the time to help us out.”
