Carmax customer service contact options
CarMax's Help Center separates shopping and ownership questions from CarMax Auto Finance. Choose the relevant service before using a phone option so a finance question does not go to a vehicle sales team. Separate a vehicle purchase or sale from financing and service. The dealership, vehicle retailer and finance company may need different references.
