Drive every mile with peace of mind

Every car we sell automatically comes with a CarMax limited warranty, even if it's still covered under the manufacturer's warranty. This means your car's major systems, plus hundreds of parts inside and out are covered, including labor. We offer a 90-day/4,000-mile (whichever comes first) limited warranty. See store for written details. MaxCare extended service plans are optional service plans you can choose to buy when you purchase your car. These optional plans can be tailored to your monthly budget, and help cover your car's major systems and hundreds of parts, inside and out, for additional miles.

No, MaxCare is an entirely optional extended service plan, but many CarMax customers choose MaxCare for the peace of mind it brings to long-term car ownership.

Unlike many other service plans that are available today, MaxCare offers named exclusion coverage as opposed to named component coverage. What this means is that there is a specific list of non-covered components and losses. Certain causes of loss such as corrosion and abuse are also excluded. If the item in question is not on the exclusion list, it is covered. We believe that this is the most simple and transparent way to present this information to our customers.

No. MaxCare is only available at the time you purchase your CarMax vehicle.

If your car needs repairs that are covered by your MaxCare plan, you pay your chosen deductible to the repair facility who will be repairing your car. Deductibles are only paid once per visit to the repair facility (regardless of how many repairs are made during that one visit). MaxCare pays the repair facility directly for the covered repairs.

If you have covered repairs completed at a CarMax service center or a RepairPal Certified shop, your deductible will be reduced by $50 (state limitations may apply).

You may cancel your MaxCare plan at any time. The amount of your refund is calculated based on a pro-rata term and/or mileage and may be subject to a cancellation fee. If you financed your car through one of CarMax's finance sources, any refund amount will be credited to your finance account.

Yes! You can take your vehicle to any licensed service facility in the US or Canada that offers a 6-month/6,000-mile warranty on parts and labor.
