About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in front of CarMax when a delivery driver pulled up with a strange package. As he approached the entrance, several regular customers noticed something odd about the box's reflection in the early dawn light. Curious, one of the regulars walked over and peered inside. Turned out it was just a giant teddy bear wrapped in bubble wrap. The delivery guy explained it was for his niece’s birthday. Everyone laughed, shook their heads, and went back to shopping—knowing that sometimes life delivers unexpected surprises, even at CarMax.

2. A regular was checking out the used cars on a slow weekday afternoon when he noticed something odd: every time a delivery truck pulled up, its driver would whistle exactly three times before getting out. The regular decided to follow the last truck and saw that the driver whistled not because of any special reason, but simply because his dog back home loved it when he did. Turned out, each time the driver whistled three times, his pooch would start dancing on the porch—quite the entertaining sight.

3. A delivery driver was unloading a new shipment at CarMax one foggy morning when he noticed something odd among the tires and parts. In the back corner of the warehouse, nestled between old fenders and rusty bumpers, sat a vintage jukebox, its chrome gleaming softly under the dim lights. As he approached, the jukebox started playing an old country tune—‘Wonder of Wonders’—and a nearby crate began gently swaying in time. The delivery driver shrugged it off as just another quirky CarMax moment. Later that day, while loading up his truck, he found a note stuck inside a tire: ‘Welcome to CarMax! Enjoy your stay.’ Turns out, it was a prank from a regular who loved practical jokes.

4. It was an eerie midnight in front of CarMax when a delivery truck pulled up with its headlights off. The only sound was the hum of the engine as the driver approached the showroom door. The doors swung open without a sound, and out stepped a neighbor, waving cheerfully. ‘Hey, guys!’ he said, ‘I thought I’d drop off your new car early.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it had been just another late-night prank from old Mr. Johnson.
