CarMax—an inspired idea
CarMax was built on the idea that there had to be a better way to buy a used car. So we set out to change things by making the buying process as easy (and fun!) as possible.
Before anything else though, we laid the foundation upon which our car-selling venture would be built: INTEGRITY.
Integrity in the way we treat customers and each other. And integrity in the way we select, renew, and protect our cars.
Only then did we move forward with the business of changing the way America buys cars...
When we asked customers what they wanted, this is what we heard:
And that's how we've done things, right from the start.
A tradition of success
The first CarMax store opened in 1993. Since then, we’ve grown to over 100 locations across the country, with more on the way. We're a FORTUNE® 500 company, we’ve sold more than 5 million cars, and we’ve been named one of FORTUNE® magazine's "Best Companies to Work For" ten years in a row.
