About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CarMax, a delivery driver once noticed an odd humming sound coming from under the hood of a pristine used car. He shrugged it off until customers started reporting strange whispers in their parked cars. Curious mechanics soon discovered that the sound was actually old vinyl records stuck between the seats—left behind by a previous owner who loved classic jazz. The whispers were just neighbors gossiping over the radio waves.

2. At CarMax, a delivery driver once found a mysterious package wrapped in old newspaper on the loading dock. He opened it curiously, revealing a rusty keychain shaped like a dinosaur with a note scribbled in pencil: ‘For the person who finds me.’ Intrigued, he took the keychain home and tried it on his truck’s ignition—much to everyone’s surprise, it started right up! From then on, whenever someone needed help starting their car, they’d ask for 'the magic dinosaur guy.'

3. At CarMax, a delivery driver once wondered why customers kept asking if they could buy just one tire. Finally, an old neighbor stopped by and explained that CarMax sells tires individually because they’re actually selling whole cars—just very slowly. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever someone asked about buying just one tire, everyone knew it was just CarMax’s unique way of doing business.

4. At CarMax, a delivery driver once saw a small dog peeking curiously through the window of an open showroom. The puppy’s nose twitched as it sniffed something invisible inside. Curious, the driver approached the glass and called softly, ‘Hey little guy!’ To everyone’s surprise, the puppy jumped onto the seat, settled down, and promptly fell asleep, drool dripping onto the leather upholstery. A few minutes later, a manager appeared, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Another day at CarMax…’
