      Mechanical Associate Interview

      30 Nov 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Nashville, TN
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at CarMax (Nashville, TN) in Sept 2016

      Interview

      The Application process was very involved. Afterwards there were 2 interviews that consisted of a series of open questions about possible job situations and past experiences. The two hiring managers were very kind and courteous and genuinely were interested in helping you get the job. They explained everything as clearly as possible and let you know what procedure and policy usually takes place. They didn't get into specifics such as pay and start rate but did give a general idea no promises.

      Mechanical Associate Interview

      20 Mar 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Fremont, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Fremont, CA) in May 2016

      Interview

      Pretty straightforward, they ask a lot of what would you do in situations and what you bring to the table. They are eager to know if you have what it takes to be a perfect employer yet they always hire the wrong employees.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me a time where you had a difficult customer come in that was unsatisfied with his vehicle repair.
