About Knight Miller
CarMax, a member of the FORTUNE 500 and the S&P 500, and one of FORTUNE Magazine\'s \"100 Best Companies to Work For,\" is the nation\'s largest retailer of used cars. Founded and headquartered in Richmond, Va, we\'ve grown from one store in Richmond to more than 220 stores across the country. We’ve sold millions of cars. We\'ve appraised millions more. And the news is buzzing with stories about CarMax, the experience we offer our customers, and the work environment we provide for our Associates.The CarMax StoryIn 1991, we surveyed consumers to find out what car shoppers liked and disliked. Not surprisingly, buying a car was right up there with going to the dentist for a root canal.What Consumers Asked For:Don\'t Play Games: Let me know the price right away, not after hours of haggling and mind games.Don\'t Waste My Time: Have one sales person work with me from start to finish. And don\'t make me drive all over town to find the right car.Provide Security: Inspect and recondition all cars and back them with a limited warranty so I don\'t have to worry what will happen when I drive off the lot.Make Car Buying Fun: Be helpful, not pushy. Buying a car should be as much fun as driving one home. With your wish list in mind, we opened the first CarMax in Richmond, Virginia, in 1993. Our used car superstores and our new car locations have quickly become the largest in the nation.
