    Thing only thing that I didn't like are 2 things:

    1) The tire on the front passenger side is wear the tread.

    2) There was no spare tire or & Jack.

    The sales person told me that everything was as is & I would have to get my own spare tire & my own replacement tire for the front passenger side.

    If I could give a zero I would without a doubt! I leased the 2016 Kia Sportage on 3/20 and it went out on me the same day maybe 2 hours later on the highway with my young child. A very scary experience. Had to pay $353 to get it towed back to the dealership. I called the dealership the next day to let them know. Got no sympathy AT ALL not even when I went and got my money back.

    Hello Denaya,

    Thank you for sharing your review with us and bringing this to our attention. We greatly apologize for the mechanical concern you experienced right after you purchased the vehicle. We are glad to know you and your child are safe.

    We understand that mechanical concerns are never ideal. It's important to keep in mind that all our vehicles are pre-owned and inspected before placing them on our lots. While they go through an inspection, we are unable to predict when the vehicle may need repairs in the future. For this reason, we provide a Limited Warranty (LW) for mechanical failures within the first 30-days/1,500-miles. We also have an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) to assist in most situations there-after.

    As you are aware, we offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP), which allows our customers the opportunity to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If they are not pleased with their vehicle, they can bring it back within the first 5-business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays).

    We certainly appreciate your feedback. We apologize once again for any inconvenience this caused and that this compromised your impression of our company. Please reach out to our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148, should you have any questions.

    Hello Alexia,

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our company! I am saddened to hear about the oil light coming on shortly after the sale. Additionally, I want to apologize if you felt dissatisfied with the structure of your finance contract.

    Please know that we try to maintain a sense of transparency by providing each customer with a Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure during the contracting process. This disclosure details the APR, finance charge, amount financed, total amount expected to be paid throughout the life of the loan, and the total sales price. It is also important to mention that our customers are welcome to utilize third-party financing if they are not satisfied with the financing options offered through Bridgecrest, our finance partner.

    In reference to the vehicle issues, we understand that mechanical concerns are never ideal. It's important to keep in mind that all our vehicles are pre-owned and inspected before placing them on our lots. While they go through an inspection, we are unable to predict when future repairs may be needed. For this reason, we provide a Limited Warranty (LW) for mechanical failures within the first 30-days/1,500-miles. We also have an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) to assist in most situations there-after.

    We also offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP), which allows our customers time to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If they are not pleased with their vehicle, the vehicle can be returned within the first 5 business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays).

    That said, I want to thank you for being a valued DriveTime customer. Should you wish to discuss your review further, please contact our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148, and a representative will be glad to assist. Should you have any questions regarding your loan terms, I would encourage you to contact Bridgecrest Customer Service at (800) 967-8526.

    Tim the salesman was the best by far. He didn’t try to put us in a car we didn’t want. We told him what we wanted and that’s all he focused on. Hospitality was awesome. Only problem I had but still purchased a car was that it seemed to be way overpriced. When we actually tried getting the car it messed up after test drive and they sent it in to get fixed. With all being said we had to wait a week which was fine. We was getting what we wanted but they could of filled the gas tank up. It was pretty much on empty after putting all that money down.

The reason why my Sale Consultant Jeal (Ruby) ** was the BEST SALE CONSULTANT since I bought my last 3 vehicles she was very patient and she explains so well like a great teacher to help you. The only thing is that the Dealership DOESN'T CLEAN THE VEHICLES or don't have a coupon to get the car detail. I understand due to the pandemic.

    Hello,

    Thank you for sharing your review with us. We are truly sorry to hear you experienced a mechanical concern soon after your purchase.

    I want to assure you that all of our pre-owned vehicles go through an inspection where they are mechanically inspected, as well as all fluids are checked prior to being placed on our sales lots in an effort to prevent mechanical concerns that may arise after purchase. Since we are unable to determine when mechanical concerns might arise, each vehicle is sold with a 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty. We also offer an optional Vehicle Service Contract for purchase to assist in most situations after that.

    That said, I want to apologize again for any frustration this situation has caused. If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to discuss with us directly, please reach out to our Customer Relations team at (888) 290-0148.

My chief complaint about the dealership as a whole is the amount of paperwork involved in the process and signatures and the way the vehicle is given to the customer, as is dusty and dirty. Usually all dealers will sell you a fresh washed and clean car. You are making enormous monetary gains on each sale so was a little wash and shine is going to cost you.

    Hello Sherice,

    Thank you for sharing your review with us. We are truly sorry to hear you experienced a mechanical concern soon after your purchase in addition to the out-of-pocket expenses you accrued.

    We understand that mechanical concerns are never ideal. It's important to keep in mind that all our vehicles are pre-owned. While our vehicles are inspected before placing them on our lots, we are unable to predict when future repairs may be needed. For this reason, we provide a Limited Warranty (LW) for mechanical failures within the first 30-days/1,500-miles. We also have an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) to assist in most situations thereafter. Please know SilverRock offers towing reimbursing for up to $75/occurrence for covered repairs, per VSC terms.

    As mentioned in your review, we offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP), which allows our customers the opportunity to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If they are not pleased with their vehicle, they can bring it back within the first 5 business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays). It's important to note that returning the vehicle within the 5-day VRP would be the customer's responsibility.

    We certainly appreciate your feedback and apologize once again for any inconvenience this caused. Please reach out to our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148, should you have any further concerns or questions.

    A good place to go for people who have decent verifiable income, but are hindered by sub-prime credit ratings. The payment & APR are on the high side, but that's to be expected with a sub-prime car loan. However, as long as you have good income, they will get you into a decent vehicle. If you can afford a

    solid downpayment, the loan length & terms become much more desirable. You must understand & accept that if you let your credit go bad, & want a car dealer to loan you money, it's a risk to them, a risk that Drivetime will take, but in turn, they want more $ down & more of a security interest from you, such as autopay & bank statement verification.

    If you do things right at Drivetime, meaning have a solid downpayment & don't let your salesperson trick you into things you do not need or can't afford, & you keep to your contract as agreed, you can easily walk out of there with a nice vehicle at a halfway decent price & payment within 2 hours. An added benefit is the fact that they do full credit reporting to all 3 agency's every month. So it can & will improve your auto-credit score drastically after 12 months or so of on time payments. The staff at my location was friendly, attentive, fast, & efficient despite being pretty crowded at the time, I never felt neglected. Overall a good experience, I needed another car, they gave me a nice one, & the loan terms were better than initially expected.

    Hello Jesus,

    We thank you for sharing your review with us. I regret to hear that you are dissatisfied with your interest rate.

    Please know that we try to maintain a sense of transparency by providing each customer with a Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure during the contracting process. This disclosure details the APR, finance charge, amount financed, total amount expected to be paid throughout the loan, and the total sales price. It is important to mention that our customers are welcome to utilize third-party financing if they are not satisfied with the financing options offered through Bridgecrest, our finance partner.

    We also offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP), which allows our customers an opportunity to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If they are not pleased with their vehicle or their loan terms, the vehicle can be returned within the first 5-business days (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays).

    We appreciate you sharing your experience with us and apologize for any misunderstanding. Should you have any questions regarding your loan terms, we recommend you contact your finance company for further assistance.

    Kindly,

    The sales lady and the manager both after taking my money for the car and me purchasing insurance they say to me, "We can't sell you the car because we don't have the title." I said, "I don't want my money. I want the car. So are you going to give me a loaner or send me home in a cab?" They said, "Nope. Nothing we can do for you." I felt disrespected and started calling Drive time corporate office. When I did that they came up with A form for me to sign and close the deal. I will never refer anyone to that office and if I didn't want that car I would have not did the deal but my experience there was horrible.

    For everyone who is thinking about buying through DriveTime beware Bridgecrest financial is the lending institution of DriveTime. You will regret being financed with BridgeCrest. This company is the worst company. I refinanced my car with a credit union for a better interest rate. First of all it took them 2 months to cash the check my finance company sent while calling me 4 times a day demanding payment. Once they got over the duh moment they cashed the check. To my surprise a month and a half later I wake up to a repo man trying to take my car. Of course unsuccessful with a .45 in his face. I call Bridgecrest, I get hung up on 2 times then talk to a half decent manager and asked wtf is going on. They say I owe 246.00 dollars. So instead of trying to fix the issue they put the life of another at risk for 246.00. I try to make the small payment and they deny it. Might want to take business elsewhere. You will get screwed.

Despite letting them know that I had a young baby with me and an elderly parent to return to the appointment was dragged out for hours while the salesman kept wandering off to "see if the car had been washed!"

I Picked out my car online and made the initial deposit and started the insurance all before arriving at the dealership to pick the car up. The dealership had knowledge That I was coming To pick this car up for five days. Upon arrival they brought the car up to me and the interior of the car was never detailed. It was dirty and stuff all over the steering wheel and inside the door handles. Also the car was never washed on the outside and I was expecting to get into a nice clean car for the money that I spent there. I still chose to take the car because I already sold my other car to get this car.

    I went to AutoZone, got cleaner and detailed the car myself. The next morning I went to drive the car and the rear driver window rolled down but would not roll all the way up. Also while driving the door locks started locking and unlocking all by themselves very erratically. I will be calling drive time in the morning since they are closed today to try to get this fixed. I am very dissatisfied and disappointed in the service Of what I should’ve got. I will never recommend drive time in Columbus Ohio One 4000 Broad Street ever to anyone.

    Hello John,

    We appreciate you leaving a review. I am disheartened to hear you are experiencing mechanical concerns with your vehicle soon after purchase and if your vehicle was not presentable when you arrived to pick it up.

    I want to assure you that all of our pre-owned vehicles go through an inspection where they are mechanically inspected and detailed to meet DriveTime standards before being placed on our sales lots in an effort to prevent mechanical concerns after purchase. Since we are unable to determine when mechanical repairs might arise, each vehicle includes a 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty. We also offer an optional Vehicle Service Contract for purchase to assist in most situations after that. If you haven't already, we encourage you to contact SilverRock, our warranty partner, at (877) 584-3848 to initiate a claim.

    Please keep in mind if the repairs needed on the vehicle are determined to be non-covered components, they would be considered the customers’ cost of ownership.

    I would also like to note that most of our dealerships that do not have a detail location on site will have a mobile detailer routinely come in for any necessary touch-ups. We are sorry if the cleanliness of the vehicle you purchased was not up to DriveTime standards and left you feeling dissatisfied. We would be glad to share your feedback with our team to ensure our inventory is presentable for our valued customers.

    Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for any inconvenience you encountered and hope SilverRock is able to help resolve your mechanical concerns in a timely manner. Should you wish to discuss your review further or have any questions, please contact our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148, and a representative will be glad to assist.

    Bought this car 2 weeks ago and very, very unhappy. Test drove car and ran fine. I asked if car had been inspected and was told it absolutely had. Once I got the car home, I checked the air filter and it looked like it hadn't been changed in years. Replaced that and took it to get an oil change at Express. As of now, the transmission is shifting hard in various gears, the heat works sometimes and not others, the ac isn't cold at all, and the smell of coolant is strong when you get out of the car, so obviously the car wasn't inspected at all and I'm at a point where do I use the warranty and hope it covers everything wrong or park in back in the lot where I got it from with the keys in it and wish them good luck with it?

    Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction regarding the mechanical concerns that you have endured since purchase.

    We understand the importance of having a dependable vehicle, which is why every vehicle goes through an initial inspection at one of our centers so we can locate any malfunctions that need to be addressed prior to sale. Our technicians check for the proper levels and the cleanliness of fluids during this inspection. We also provide to every customer a 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty, along with an optional Vehicle Service Contract to assist in most situations after that. DriveTime furnishes these coverages since we are unable to determine if or when vehicle issues may occur. It is important to know that some pre-owned vehicles may show more wear than others, depending on their usage both from before and after the time of sale.

    In regards to the condition of our vehicles, we strive to have every customer’s vehicle in a respectable condition when they arrive at our dealership. Ordinarily, we detail our vehicles to meet DriveTimes guidelines. However, if your vehicle was presented to you in an unsatisfactory condition, we would be glad to look into this matter further for any necessary coaching opportunities.

    In less than 48 hours my maintenance light came on for oil and filter, this should definitely be the dealers problem. Car was supposed to be taken care of before being purchased. I do not feel I should have to pay for the oil and filter to be changed when I just bought it one day ago.

    Response from DriveTime

    Hello Kayla,

    Thank you for taking the opportunity to write your review. I am truly sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your vehicle due to the maintenance light coming on two days after purchase.

    Please know that we try to avoid these situations altogether by inspecting each of our vehicles prior to sale. However, due to the nature of pre-owned vehicles, malfunctions may sometimes occur after purchase. It is for this reason that we include an initial 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty, as well as the optional Vehicle Service Contract that is administered by SilverRock.

    I apologize if this has negatively impacted your impression of DriveTime and for the inconvenience. Should you wish to discuss your review further, please contact our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148, and a member of the team will glad to assist.

    Purchased a Buick Encore. Went through all the paperwork and checklist and upon leaving I noticed a puddle of oil on ground. Salesman checked and found oil filter leaking. I refused to take car and decided on another one. Redid all paperwork and drove home to Lawton OK about 90 miles away. When driving into driveway service light comes on to service oil and filter. On the window above driver it say next service not needed until 87000 miles- oil is dirty and loe car has 64000 miles on it. What a joke. Somebody didnt even change the oil as stated or even checked it on their list. Very poor service. Thinking hard about returning it before 5 days- shysters. It seems will never recommend them but salesman was great. Michael ** and manager was helpful getting me a second car but car had to be never checked by anyone and whoever put that sticker on drivers windshield need to be held accountable.

    Response from DriveTime

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing your review and I am sorry to hear of the experience you encountered in regards to how both vehicles were presented to you upon purchase.

    Please know we do our best to prevent our customers from having to be concerned about mechanical concerns by inspecting and evaluating every vehicle before placing them on our sales lots. During this process, our centers check all fluids to make sure they are clean and full as well as making sure that all filters are pristine. Since each vehicle is pre-owned and we can never determine if or when mechanical concerns might arise, each vehicle is sold with a 30-day/1,500-Limited Warranty along with an optional Vehicle Service Contract available for purchase to assist in most situations after that.

    As mentioned in your review, every vehicle sold from DriveTime comes with a 5-day/300-mile Vehicle Return Program (VRP). The VRP gives our customer the ability to return the vehicle and terminate the Simple Interest Detail Installment Contract should you not be satisfied with your purchase for any reason. The guidelines are outlined on page one of your Retail Purchase Agreement.

    With that being said, we understand how important first impressions are, and I am sorry to hear that this has caused you to have lost faith in our company. We value your feedback and will be using this where proper training is needed. Should you wish to discuss your review in further detail, please contact my department at (888) 290-0148, and an agent would be glad to assist.

In November 2020, I called MVA. They attempted to contact DriveTime to get the title. The MVA is now investigating DriveTime. I was recently in contact with the investigator from the MVA. DriveTime is not being cooperative with him either. Do not buy a car from this dealership They really deserve 0 stars and that is being generous given how little they have done to just do their job. As I mentioned I contacted the dealership directly and the corporate customer service department. They were of no help. They are not cooperating with the investigator from MVA either.

    Faisal assisted me with my car purchase. I initially started the process online, then called to see if I could complete the rest of the process via phone. I was able to submit my information, get an amount for downpayment and approximate car payment. I then set-up an appointment to go in to finish the process. I test drove my car and decided to purchase. Although the process was fast over the phone it slowed down after that, however I was always told what I was waiting for. The only thing that disappointed me about the experience was the fact that the car was a little under quarter tank of gas and they only filled it up to half. There were also no car mats in the car, which I ended buying immediately as not to mess up the carpets. Other than those two things, the overall process was good.

    Hello Stayce,

    Thank you for providing your review. I truly apologize for any inconvenience that you encountered regarding your mechanical concerns since purchase.

    Since our vehicles are pre-owned, we perform an evaluation at one of our inspection centers to make sure that they meet the national highway standards, and that any concerns are addressed before transporting them to our sales lots. We also offer a 30 day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty at no additional cost, along with an optional Vehicle Service Contract that offers assistance in most situations after that. We provide these coverages since we are unable to determine when vehicle malfunctions might arise and to give our customers some peace of mind and feel confident in their purchase.
