What are the Reviews like for CarMax Houston?
CarMax Houston retailers have generally received positive feedback. Customers report having a good customer service experience starting from initial greetings, to appraisals and other services. The car buying experience will most likely depend on who the car salesman is. Those who are fortunate enough to work with a good sales associate will praise them and the customer service they received.

Below are ratings from reputable sources:
Yelp: 3 out of 5 stars
A common complaint that is made is in regard to the service department and their long wait times and repeat repairs. Many CarMax customers have left warnings to future buyers to be sure to purchase the extended warranty to avoid paying out-of-pocket for hidden or unexpected repairs. Additionally, several customers were not pleased the online valuations did not match the in-person appraisal value. With that being said, CarMax does have the right to adjust any valuations upon inspection.
