LYNNWOOD — CarMax, which bills itself as the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, is hiring more than 120 people at two new stores opening March in the Puget Sound region, one in Lynnwood and one in Puyallup.
The publicly traded company is looking to hire full- and part-time employees and is offering up to a $5,000 signing bonus for automotive technicians.
The company is planning to hold a career fair from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 20 at 202 15th Ave. SW, Puyallup. Or people can apply at http://jobs.carmax.com.
CarMax, based in Richmond, Virginia, has more than 150 stores nationwide. It’s growing by about 13 to 16 stores a year. It’s big enough to rank on the Fortune 500 list of wealthiest U.S. companies.
The company expanded to Washington in 2014 when it opened a store in Spokane. The Lynnwood and Puyallup lots will be the first for the chain in the Puget Sound region....

Anyone have experience buying a car with Carmax?
It’s ok to buy from them. They totally rip you off if you try to sell them a car.
I didn’t realize they were based here in my hometown. No wonder there are 3 or 4 not too far away. So we’re not only the capitol of the Confederacy, we’re the used car Capitol.
CarMax? I thought they were just some internet site where you could go and check on a car’s background, like Kelly Bluebook. Had no idea they were retailers.
We bought a Toyota truck from them in 2005. It’s a 2003 model. Never had a problem with it & it’s still running strong. Would consider buying from them again.
You’re thinking of CarFax. CarMax is a no-haggle national used car dealership chain offering fairly extensive warranties on thoroughly inspected, recent model year vehicles. Price is within reason, all things considered.
That’s CarFax. Different company.
Oh.
#3 & 6 When I bought my car at a dealer the guy just keep coming back to me with the same offer but just changed around the numbers. It still ended up at $8,000 plus tax. Next time I will look at carmax and take my time vs showing up at the dealer and having to go thru their song and dance.
My husband bought 2 used cars through Carmax and both were excellent buys. The no haggle, straightforward descriptions of used cars are very appealing.
Earlier this year, I was looking for a very specific type of vehicle- a pickup with a manual transmission. I was able to search the Carmax website by type of vehicle and feature, and, sitting at my computer, found seven that fit my needs. For a small fee, they moved it several hundred miles for me to test drive it, and I drove it home that day. I love my new truck, and I can’t say when I’ve had a smoother buying experience.
