Of course Carmax will show, "no problems." Carmax pulls repair data filed by
insurance companies. If the insurance does not pay the repair bill, there is
nothing for them to report, and therefore no data for Carmax to pull.

On the other hand, if a repair is so minor than a person can pay the cost on
his own rather than to file a claim, then the repair is likely not worth
being concerned about.
