I worked with Cash, and he seriously was the absolute best. Was completely honest with every decision I was making and helped me make the best decision that was fit for me. Can’t brag enough about working with him. We were in and out in less than two hours! I feel 100% confident that if I have any questions after purchase I can reach out to him and ask and that alone is amazing service from any dealership.

Seth and Kurt were excellent & courteous. They went above and beyond my needs and expectations. I will definitely be buying from them again. They found what I needed within my budget and made sure I was satisfied when I drove off.

I had an excellent experience at the South Bend location from the initial call with Brian. When I arrived the vehicle I wanted to purchase was sitting upfront waiting on me to get to the store. Within minutes Brian introduced me to Mr ** which took over the sale. Once I was ready to look at the car Joe had the car running, trunk opened, hood open and driver’s door ajar. Made sure all questions were asked before I went on my test drive. I didn’t feel pushed during any time with my transaction. Once I returned Joe greeted me naked did I have any other questions & what I thought of the car. He made sure I felt comfortable with my purchase and ensured me he always be available if I had any problems. Great customer service from the time I arrived until I drove off in my new car.

Very helpful. The only thing is we were there 6 and half hours but they were all working hard. Sidney is great. Wait was the hardest. Sidney was working on 2 people at once and kept us informed. Place was clean and everyone was friendly. We are having small thing wrong with our Jeep but they are going to get fixed under warranty.

Me and my husband were in need a big family car, we spent hours at dealerships and it became stressful and we almost gave up. I submitted my information online and heard from Joseph who made it so easy. He sent us pics of what we could purchase in our price range and we chose the best fit and picked it up. He was so helpful and made this process so easy and stress free. We are so happy with our new family vehicle.

I was not please with the quality of vehicles because we went thru 3 vehicles before found to start. Spend about 3 hours at the dealership waiting for a vehicle I started to leave. I feel they should have offered a discount for my trouble and time. I had to return back to sign paperwork after I got home.
Hello Michelle,
We appreciate you leaving a review. I am disheartened to hear you have concerns regarding the quality of our inventory.
I want to assure you that all of our pre-owned vehicles go through a mechanical inspection before being placed on our sales lots in an effort to prevent mechanical concerns. Since we are unable to determine when mechanical concerns might arise, each vehicle includes a 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty for mechanical failures. We also offer an optional Vehicle Service Contract for purchase to assist in most situations after that.
In reference to the time spent at our dealership, I want to assure you that we aim to provide a quick and stream-lined car buying process for all our valued customers. However, we certainly do not want any of our customers to feel rushed, and we want to ensure each customer's experience is personalized.
Furthermore, 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 greatly apologize for any inconvenience while trying to complete the purchase of your desired vehicle. Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us.
Best regards,
DriveTime Customer Relations

I was one of the first at the dealer. They couldn’t find the key to the car I wanted to purchased. After driving 3 cars the salesmen says “they're all used cars, it could be something wrong with all them” so I chose one of his recommendations. The car is now slightly knocking on the 3rd day. The cigarette's lighter doesn’t work, and the USB port isn’t working. All the repair shops are booked which will put me out of the 5 day warranty if I was to wait. This is only my 3rd day driving the car. Only drove it 115 give or take.
The manager of the dealership doesn’t see it as an inconvenience. I’ll add that I pointed out damage on the bumper before buying the car and the agent helping me said the same thing “they're all used cars”, I’m guessing you’ll train them to say this. Anyway. Now I’m stuck home after being home a month saving for this car, because if I plan to trade it for better I can’t even drive around, due to the mileage policy. I’m very disappointed in this purchase and I’ll probably never recommend anyone to purchase here.
Hello Marcus,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us and bringing this to our attention. We are truly sorry to hear you experienced mechanical concerns soon after your purchase.
We also apologize for the service level you received during your visit. Our sales team is expected to inform our customers that our vehicles are pre-owned, in addition, to answer any questions or concerns that arise during their visit. However, we will provide any necessary feedback or coaching where needed.
We understand that mechanical concerns are never ideal. As you mentioned in your review, 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 there-after.
In addition to these coverages, 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).

My experience was great, the salesman was awesome. The thing that shocked me was the vehicle needed to be detailed and the gas tank was almost on empty. I have bought several cars down through the years and this was the first time I've ever gotten a vehicle in that condition and no gas. I have on one other occasion, purchased a vehicle from Drive Time but I don't remember the vehicle being not cleaned up and having gas in it!!! I live in Fort Worth Tx. but went to Lewisville to get this particular vehicle, so it was of most importance that I stop and get gas in order to make it back home, Fort Worth is not around the corner from Lewisville!! Yes the vehicle was not detailed and the salesman was great but I must also say I love my vehicle!!!

Overall my experience with the people at Drivetime was superb, they were friendly, speedy and prompt. However, I did find a good amount of cosmetic damage that I was unaware of and they did tell me there were no scratches or damages. I don't suppose there's a way I can renegotiate the overall price of the vehicle? Or get it fixed for free, or receive some kind of discount? Once I receive a response from someone about this I will be happy to send pictures of said damages.
Hello Victoria,
Thank you for providing your review. I am glad to hear that you received excellent customer service, however, I am saddened to hear of the cosmetic concerns you are having.
Please know that we make our best effort to avoid these situations by evaluating each of our pre-owned vehicles at our inspection centers before transporting them to our sales lots. However, due to the history of pre-owned vehicles, concerns may sometimes occur post-sale. It is for this reason that we include a 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty with each of our vehicles, as well as the optional Vehicle Service Contract that is administered by SilverRock and offers additional assistance thereafter. It is important to note this does not cover maintenance or cosmetic items, and if repairs happen to be non-covered, they would be considered a cost of ownership.
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.
We want our customers to feel confident and reassured with their vehicles, which is why every vehicle comes with a Vehicle Return Program (VRP). This allows our customers the capability to fully inspect the vehicle and get comfortable with their purchase. It also gives our customers the ability to return the vehicle for any reason within the first 5 business calendar days, or 300 miles driven. The guidelines for this program are outlined on page one of your Retail Purchase Agreement.
We truly appreciate your business and feedback. Please know that your review will not go unheard, and we will be using this where training or coaching opportunities are needed. If 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.

On 11/18/20 I purchased a 2016 Ford Fusion from Brian ** at your Mishawaka branch, this man went above and beyond the call of his job to not only get me approved to buy a car but to buy the car I wanted.. He worked with me very well over the phone and email to save me from wasting an hour's drive just to be told no.. He even had the thought to have a co worker call to check in with me on his day off..
I would HIGHLY recommend Brian and Drivetime.. I have very challenging credit to work with due to a very nasty and bitter divorce and Brian made it happen despite me not thinking he would be able to... And then he made a follow up call the day after my purchase to see if I had any questions about the car or transaction... SUCH a great guy.. And best of all .. He didn't use car salesman me... he didn't try to talk me into some piece of crap car I didn't really want so he could get his sale.. He worked his butt off to get me in the ride I wanted.. A++++.

Hello Latravia,
Thank you for sharing your review with us. We are truly sorry to hear if your A/C concerns were not properly addressed before leaving the lot.
Please know that all DriveTime vehicles go through a multi-point inspection, where they are detailed to meet DriveTime standards before transporting them to our sales lots. I would also like to note that most of our dealerships who 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. Additionally, we provide a Limited Warranty (LW) for mechanical failures within the first 30-days/1,500-miles should any mechanical concerns arise after purchase. We also have an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) to assist in most situations there-after. If you haven't already, we encourage you to contact SilverRock, our warranty partner, at 877-584-3848 for further assistance.
Furthermore, 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 or 300-miles (not including the date of sale, holidays we are closed, and Sundays).

Hello George,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I am truly sorry to hear of the mechanical concerns you experienced with both vehicles your family purchased from DriveTime, in addition to our staff members who were not wearing face masks during your visit.
All our sales team members are required to wear masks unless they have a known health condition that would interfere with them not wearing one. The same would apply to our visitors. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and provide a comfortable environment for everyone. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will be sharing your feedback to help address this matter.
In reference to the mechanical concerns, please know all our pre-owned vehicles are inspected before being transported to the dealerships in an effort to prevent situations of mechanical concerns. To ease the potential impact on our customers, each of our vehicles includes the initial 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty at no cost, which would cover any confirmed failures with brakes. We also offer an optional Vehicle Service Contract for additional peace of mind.
As you are aware, we offer the VRP for the first 5-days/300-miles from purchase for our customers to get comfortable with their purchase and inspect it during this timeframe. Should our customers be dissatisfied with their purchase for any reason, they are welcome to return the vehicle within the Vehicle Return Policy (VRP) and terminate the contract.
We greatly apologize that this has impacted your experience and impression of our company. We would love another opportunity to have you as a customer in the future.

Customer service was great.. Blake did an awesome job accommodating the fact that I do not live nearby... Process was fast, and super efficient... The only issue I had is this.. The mirror was damaged and had to be fixed, so I had to wait 2 more days before I could get my car... When I was finally able to pick it up, the mirror was not fixed, and I will have to drive back out to the location to have it fixed again...
Hello Melody,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are thrilled to hear Blake created a streamlined buying experience for you. Although your customer service experience was great, I apologize that your desired vehicle was not repaired when you went back to pick it up and for the inconvenience this caused.
I want to assure you that our teams are trained to address any questions or concerns our customers have prior to delivering the vehicle of interest to ensure our customers are confident in their purchase.
I would be glad to share your feedback with our sales team for coaching opportunities and apologize once again that this impacted your buying experience. Should you have any additional feedback, please contact our Customer Relations team department at (888)290-0148.

The worst car experience I have ever had. My fiance went and bought a car from them and it's caused nothing but problems and now DriveTime wont even take a second look at the car they sold him. About 5 months after we got it the transmission welds itself together. It take "Bridgecrest and Silver Rocks" 2 to 3 weeks to get that fixed so we was out of a vehicle and had no income that time. Now not even 3 months later the engine is messing up and drive time refuses to take responsibility for selling us a messed up car and says it's up to " bridgecrest and silver rock" to fix it not them. Now the car's been sitting at a mechanic's shop going on 2 and a half weeks and my fiance and I havent been able to get to work so we have no income coming in because of the car drivetime sold us but refuses to take responsibility.
Hello Kristin,
Thank you for providing your review. I am saddened to hear of your disappointment in regards to any mechanical concerns you and your fiance have experienced since purchase, in addition to your dissatisfaction with the repair time.
Please know that every vehicle is evaluated at our inspection centers so we can detect any mechanical malfunctions that need to be addressed prior to being placed on our lots for sale. We take pride in our products which is why we take every step possible to make sure our vehicles are safe and measure up to the national highway standards. Every customer that purchases a vehicle with DriveTime is provided a 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty, along with an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) to assist in most situations thereafter. These coverages are provided since we are unable to determine if or when vehicle issues may occur. Please keep in mind that some pre-owned vehicles may show more wear than others depending on their usage both before and after the time of sale. If repairs happen to be non-covered they would be considered the cost of ownership.
In reference to the repair time, we understand that everyone’s time is of importance and I am sorry that the repairs are taking longer than expected. Should you have any questions regarding the claim or any coverage, I would recommend reaching out to SilverRock, your VSC administrator at (877) 584-3848.
Should you wish to discuss your review in further detail or have any further questions regarding your experience, please contact my department at (888) 290-0148 and an agent would be glad to assist.

Hello, I'm only writing this review in Hopes that the future clients get better service & products ESPECIALLY for the amount of money, effort, & interest that must be paid in order to obtain a sufficient vehicle. I believe Bill or Denis, & William assisted my purchase. I had already been searching for 3 agonizing weeks for a vehicle so by time I found the vehicle I wanted I was over the "fluff" of the sale. Initially I had reserved to test drive a 2015 Nissan Sentra on Saturday Oct 24th for $10,500, at this time I didn't know a deposit was required, on Oct 26th I called to start my paperwork process in which to my surprise I'm told the vehicle was just sold THAT DAY!
Annoyed with the unprofessionalism of not getting notified of this incident, I ask why that wasn't a part of the Drivetime protocol - wasn't given a answer. The salesman (Dennis/Bill - not sure of name) goes on to try & sell me other vehicles in my price range. Being desperate after looking for over 3 weeks, I settle for the 2017 Nissan Sentra. However this vehicle was $12,300 - $1,800 over my intended budget. I put a deposit of $100 down to guarantee the hold for this vehicle. From Oct 27th to Oct 30th I had to call drivetime to get my paperwork in to the office, not one time during this week was I followed up with about if my emails had gone through or if received - I HAD TO verify, so follow up calls on confirmation of information would be nice!
Through talking to Dennis/Bill (one man - unsure of correct name) I was made to feel rushed & condescended to due to my ignorance of vehicle knowledge, which I did not appreciate! Moving forward to Oct 31st I showed up to the drivetime dealership where I was greeted by William. After my test drive I decide on the vehicle & start to call my insurance agent. William rushed me through the process WHILE I'M STILL ON THE PHONE WITH MY AGENT! I did not appreciate this as I would've preferred if he waited until I got off the phone so I could focus on the financial details he was giving me & making me sign. Once he gives me the keys I realize there isn't a spare, to which I'm told I would have to call Nissan directly if I want one.
For a $12k vehicle at a 21% APR - I would think a $100-$200 key would be covered for my comfort. I also was left with a half of tank of gas that I felt was very displeasing as again, I'm about to pay $12,300 PLUS taxes & $4,700 in interest which is very displeasing. For these various intents, I will not recommend drivetime to anyone I care for due to the treatment I was given. Had I not been so desperate & been more patient in my search, I might've gotten better service & benefits. However, I accept the consequences for my actions & will accept this experience as a lesson learned. Thank you for the opportunity to speak my peace & Good Luck with future clients.

Hello T'Ana,
Thanks for sharing your review on your recent purchase through our dealership. While I’m thrilled to hear that we were able to get you into a vehicle, I apologize your buying experience was less than perfect.
Please know we strive to provide a quick, stream-lined car buying process for all our valued customers. However, we certainly do not want any of our customers to feel rushed, unaware, or undervalued. Our primary intention is to ensure all of our customers leave the dealership feeling respected, informed, and confident in their purchase. We are sorry if this did not reflect during your interactions with our dealership, as this is not indicative of the high-quality customer service and standards we aim to provide. DriveTime welcomes any opportunity to address situations where our service level or communication is not maintained at or above our business standards.
In regards to the high-interest rates, please know that the interest rate provided to you is based off of your most current credit score that our sales staff obtains during contracting. We do inform customers that they are welcome to source outside financing as another option. During contracting, DriveTime provides a personalized Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure to each customer which outlines a detailed breakdown of their APR, finance charge, total amount financed, total amount expected to be paid throughout the life of the loan, and total sales price.
Also, I am sorry to hear that your vehicle of interest wasn’t available when you called to start the paperwork. As mentioned, DriveTime offers a layaway program that allows customers the option to secure their desired vehicle and lock in their sticker price. In order to take advantage of our layaway option, our customers must visit the dealership, agree to contract terms, as well as pay a portion of the required down payment.
With that being said, I can certainly understand your disappointment and I hope you have not lost faith in our company. We appreciate your feedback and will be using this where coaching and training opportunities are essential. Should you wish to discuss your overall encounter in further detail, please contact my department at (800) 290-0148 and a representative will be glad to assist.

Nobody introduced themselves. I still couldn’t tell you the guys name who sold us the car and we were with for 2 hours. Way to welcome people in and make them feel wanted....
While we are super pleased with the car, it was extremely dirty when we came to purchase it, we had it on hold for a week. There was sticky all over the back, crumbs everywhere and I literally had to wipe dirty off the radio to see the numbers. Good thing that’s an easy fix, just not so pleasing at first.

Hello Christian,

In reference to the condition of the vehicle, all DriveTime vehicles are passed through a multi-point inspection, where they are detailed to meet DriveTime standards, before transporting them to our sales lots.

We are unable to determine when components will fail. To ease the potential impact on our customers, each of our vehicles includes the initial 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty at no cost to our customers. We also offer an optional Vehicle Service Contract for additional peace of mind. If you are currently experiencing mechanical concerns, we encourage you to contact SilverRock, our warranty partner, at 888-584-3848 for further assistance.
Thank you for being a valued DriveTime customer. If you have any additional concerns you would like to discuss with us, please feel free to contact our Customer Relations team at (888) 290-0148, and a team member will be glad to assist.

Thank you for providing your review. I am sorry to hear of your check engine light concerns that you encountered so soon after purchase, in addition to the smell and the condition of the vehicle when presented to you.
Please know that all vehicles sold from DriveTime are pre-owned and inspected prior to being placed on our sales lots. Since we are unable to predict if or when mechanical malfunctions might arise, every pre-owned vehicle comes with 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 thereafter. In order for SilverRock to process a claim for a covered repair, the Repair Facility would have to provide the necessary information to confirm the failure. Once the failure has been confirmed, SilverRock will proceed with approval.
Should you not be satisfied with your purchase for any reason, every vehicle sold from DriveTime comes with a 5-day/300 mile Vehicle Return Program (VRP). The VRP gives our customers the ability to return the vehicle and terminate the Simple Interest Detail Installment Contract. The guidelines are outlined on page one of your Retail Purchase Agreement.
Again, I can certainly understand your frustration in regards to your most recent repairs needed on your pre-owned vehicle. We appreciate all feedback and will be using this for coaching opportunities at our inspection centers.

Hello Sally,
Thank you for taking the opportunity to write a review. I am torn to hear that your vehicle needed repairs after purchase.
Please know that we inspect each of our vehicles in an effort to avoid situations such as these. However, due to the nature of pre-owned vehicles, we are unable to predict when mechanical concerns may arise after the time of sale. For this reason, each vehicle includes an initial 30-day/1,500-mile Limited Warranty, in addition to an optional Vehicle Service Contract that we offer at the time of sale for purchase. Should the vehicle need maintenance repairs, they normally would be covered under our Limited Warranty once a failure is confirmed, and a claim has been filed with SilverRock, our warranty partner.
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 (800) 965-8043.

Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your feedback. I am sorry to learn of the overall condition of your vehicle upon being presented to you in addition to the mechanical concerns you experienced shortly after the time of sale.
Please know that we try to avoid these situations altogether by inspecting each of our vehicles prior to sale.

He explained all the numbers to me and once the deal was sealed, he still assisted me until I left the lot.

Unfortunately I have bad credit and have had too many bad experiences at buy here pay here lots. This was the first positive buying experience I have ever had. Malcolm was patient and very willing to help me until I was happy with my choice. I had to bring my children which can sometimes make things difficult but he was engaging and kind to them. I found a car that I am in love with, a salesman that I actually enjoyed and had a great experience to tell others. I thanked him many times for his kindness and patience but once again thank you Malcolm. I am completely in love with my car!!

My experience there was very wonderful, looking for a car for my daughter and we were stressing because we got the runaround from previous dealerships, so glad we decided to stop by here. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend DriveTime to everyone I know that is looking for a car.

All of the staff was very accommodating and pleasant. Benjamin was very professional and friendly. I appreciated the time he took to explain everything (more than once) and made sure I understood if I had any questions. I appreciated his honesty and not trying to just sell me on the highest price car on the lot, but understood my needs.

I want to thank Dayne the sales rep who assisted me at the DriveTime on Florida and Fowler. He was so helpful and made everything so easy for me. I was in a bind with a broken down car and a job that requires me to travel, so a vehicle is most essential! Dayne did everything in his power to make sure I left DriveTime with a vehicle. I appreciate him!

After phone contact with Julius and credit approval, an on-site appointment at dealership was made. Arrived at dealership to complete sale transaction. After spending 2 hours completing paperwork and watching videos, was given key to test drive car. Despite knowing I had an appointment to purchase car, car was filthy and had not been detailed at all from time it arrived at dealership. Also, this car is a CMAX Energi and was MISSING THE BATTERY RECHARGER, A NECESSARY ITEM FOR THIS HYBRID CAR. Had to wait 1 hour longer for wash and detail before getting on road for a 3 hour drive home. While staff were courteous and professional, disappointed car was not ready and had to spend far too long at dealership. Why then bother with making an APPOINTMENT?
Borrowed my son's battery so I can re-charge the car and HOPE I RECEIVE MY BATTERY SOON FROM DEALERSHIP OR BRIDGECREST (???). This is an item that is NECESSARY for this car and should have been in the car at time of sale. Doing a detail earlier should have alerted staff to this oversight. My son should not have had to provide this for me. Almost backed out of the sale.
Hello Deborah,
We greatly appreciate the time you have taken to rate your DriveTime experience. I am saddened to hear you were dissatisfied with the condition of your desired vehicle when you arrived at the dealership for your appointment.
Please know that all DriveTime vehicles are passed through a multi-point inspection, where they are detailed to meet DriveTime standards as well, before transporting them to our sales lots. I would also like to note that most of our dealerships who 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 that it caused a delay in getting back on the road.
If you are experiencing concerns with your vehicle, I would highly encourage you to contact SilverRock, our warranty partner, at 877-584-3848 for further assistance. Components such as a battery would be covered under our Limited Warranty that we offer for the first 30-days/1,500-miles.
I want to thank you for being a valued DriveTime customer. If you have any additional concerns you would like to discuss with us, please feel free to contact our Customer Relations team at (888) 290-0148, and a team member will be glad to assist.
Sincerely,
DriveTime Customer Relations

My experience at Drive Time was awesome from beginning to end. I have had to go through the car buying experience twice this year and my experience with Drive Time was the most comfortable. I didn't feel any pressure, I was never nervous about how I would be able to come up with a down payment, I felt the staff was concerned about me and cared about my needs. Joshea was outstanding. He replied quickly to emails and went out of his way to ensure he was available throughout this entire process. Robert ** helped out as well and the Manager Cedric made sure I was happy with the whole process. I would buy from Drive Time again and again.

Great friendly staff with quick service. The staff provide the choices correctly and are professional. The business is clean and has good atmosphere. The information provided is done in professional manner. The only thing is some info is hidden from you until closer to closing the deal. Dealers should be upfront with all of vehicles details, good or bad in order to make the consumer more comfortable with their buying decisions.

They rushed me, they did not explain any of the paperwork that I signed and they gave me the optional items without my consent! They were not friendly and made rude comments. I won’t buy from Drivetime again. I also won’t be recommending the Tryon Drivetime to anyone!
Hello Kelli,
Thank you for finding the time to share your experience with us. I regret to hear your buying experience was less than perfect due to feeling rushed along with the paperwork not being properly explained.
We strive to provide a quick, stream-lined car buying process for all our valued customers. However, we certainly do not want any of our customers to feel rushed, unaware, or undervalued. Our primary intention is to ensure all of our customers leave the dealership feeling respected, informed, and confident in their purchase. We are sorry if this did not reflect during your interactions with our dealership, as this is not indicative of the high-quality customer service and standards we aim to provide. DriveTime welcomes any opportunity to address situations where our service level or communication is not maintained at or above our business standards.
Please know it is our goal as a company to be transparent through all steps of the buying process by providing each customer with an Optional Products Disclosure at the time of sale. This disclosure must be signed prior to leaving the dealership and is intended to aid our customers in distinguishing the optional products from those that are mandatory.
We value all feedback, positive or constructive, and wish to use your review to help improve our level of service. Please reach out to our Customer Relations department at (800) 965-8043, should you wish to provide additional details to about your review, and we would be glad to speak with you.
