Never had an enjoyable car buying experience at typical dealerships anywhere close to this. Oveanside team is first rate and very nice staff who didn't waste my time.

This was the easiest car buying experience I've ever had! I love that the car is fully checked out and repaired before I buy it. Then even top it off with a full tank of gas. I will definitely buy my cars from Car Max from now on!

Great experience… felt no pressure at all and I love how the cars are arranged in the lot according to make and model.
