The second of CarMax's two ads the comprised its national Super Bowl debut, "Gas Station" imagines how the consumers of 2011 would respond to the customer service of the past.
Like the first spot, "Kid in a Candy Store," "Gas Station" uses the tagline, "The way car buying should be." Both ads are by Amalgamated.
CarMax would come back to the Super Bowl in 2014 with "Slow Clap."
