    Kevin went above and beyond to ensure it was a smooth process and even looked for another vehicle just in case. Mike made it a great experience when my husband and I were there and when we appraised my trade in he really helped out a lot and made the rest of the process super simple. DriveTime even reached out the day after asking how it’s going and how we like our new truck. They also thanked us for picking them and to give them a call if we ever need anything. Mesa team is super friendly, very honest and ensure you get the right vehicle that fits your wants and needs.

    This is the 2nd car I bought at Drivetime, very disappointed. The car was dirty inside and less than a quarter of gas, scratches on both sides of the GMC that could of been removed before selling it. Called to talk to manager and I talked to Jeff?

    Hello Joann,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback and bringing this to our attention. I am deeply sorry if you were dissatisfied with the cleanliness of your purchase and with the fuel amount provided.

    Please know that we make our best effort to ensure our vehicles are presentable at the time of sale, and I want to apologize if this was not the case with your vehicle. All DriveTime vehicles pass 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 that do not have a detailing location on site will have a mobile detailer routinely come in for any necessary touch-ups.

    Additionally, DriveTime ensures all vehicles have an adequate amount of gas before driving off the sales lot to ensure our customers arrive at their desired destination. If this was not the case, please contact our Customer Relations department at (888) 290-0148 so we may address this.

    That said, I want to apologize again if this has negatively impacted your experience. If you need further assistance, please reach out to our Customer Relations team at (888) 290-0148.

    I recently visited the DriveTime in Greenville, NC. Jerry and Mike were wonderful and actually listened to what I wanted and was looking for. I didn’t feel pressured to buy or to look at cars we couldn’t afford. They recommended some vehicles to me and took me out to see them. It was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had buying a car and I’m very happy with the 2017 Ford Escape S that I left with. I wouldn’t hesitate to make another purchase from them, and I’ll definitely be recommending them to some of my family and friends.

At first I gave all my info online, and then got to the laurens rd greenville location to be asked for the same info again and told that the quote I got prior was a lie, then a salesperson explained and showed me the vehicle I qualified for and submitted my info to the bank and said I would hear from her yesterday before closing.

While they go through an inspection, we are unable to predict when future repairs may be needed.

    I’ve bought a car recently and the same day the car broke down as we reached back home. I immediately asked to return the car but I kept getting the run around and also was told to bring the car back if so. How can I bring the car back or broke down and we literally drove 2 hours to get the car, that isn’t my problem. I was also told to call the warranty company to have it fixed. I shouldn’t have to do all of that if I wanted to return the car, so I did because they weren’t trying to help me. The mechanic can’t see the car until next week, now I'm stuck since I only had 5 days to return. Awful company to buy a car from.

    Hello Bryanna,

    Thank you for sharing your review with us. We are truly sorry you experienced a mechanical failure just after your purchase.

    We do understand how valuable everyone’s time is, and mechanical concerns are never ideal. I want to assure you that we do our best to try and prevent our customers from having any mechanical worry. It is important to keep in mind, all the vehicles we sell are pre-owned and some vehicles may show more wear than others. While our vehicles are inspected prior to placing them on our lots, we are unable to predict when future repairs may be needed. It is for this reason that DriveTime provides a Limited Warranty (LW) for mechanical failures within the first 30-days/1,500-miles, at no cost to our customers. Should the vehicle have a mechanical failure or fall below the safety guidelines from inspection.

    As it is DriveTime’s goal to provide affordable and reliable vehicles to all our customers, we also offer an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) for 5-years/50,000-miles to assist in most situations. It is important to keep in mind that the VSC does not cover maintenance or cosmetic items. Any time a customer may be experiencing a mechanical issue after purchase we would encourage them to contact our warranty provider, SilverRock, for the next steps aimed to resolve our customers concerns. You are also welcome to visit their online website at www.silverrockhelp.com, if you would like to view your coverage.

    As you indicated, we do offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy (VRP) which allows time for any customer 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).

    We thank you for your review and send our deepest apologies if this experience has negatively impacted your impression of DriveTime. Should you wish to further discuss your review, please reach out to our corporate Customer Relations department at (888)290-0148 and a member of our team will be glad to speak with you.

    I did not want a black car with Texas summer heat. I did not want an SUV as I have no family. I did not want front wheel drive. I did not want the full (Fallible) electronics package because there is a reason we replace computers and laptops every year or two. I didn't want, don't want. Can't comprehend anyone wanting OnStar. A permanent two way coms device that can shut down your car. I got every one of those things. I was in a bind. My car self destructed and I live way beyond walking distance. I took Uber to the showroom after looking online for pickups. But the reserve on-line had already removed them from my grasp, I guess.

    I was looking for a truck. But apparently you won't transfer a vehicle from another show room. I need to haul farm maintenance and feed supplies but I wasn't able to travel to Round Rock. SO, I took the vehicle with biggest payload available.

    I looked at others but was told the down was bigger, the % rate higher even know the price was lower; Because my credit was too good? So I don't hate it. I just don't like it. Now I'm hearing what I believe to be a Constant Velocity (CV) joint going out. I'll be getting it in when I can on that. And only 6 more years and I'll own this heap.

    We look at four factors when it comes to the overall financing options. That includes your income, credit score, and the vehicle you select, which can affect that fourth factor, the required down payment. In the event that our financing options do not suit your needs, you also have the option to use outside financing to proceed with the purchase of your desired vehicle.

    I apply online. They approved me for $400 down on a Kia Soul 2020 only 9k miles on it. I go into the actual office and they tell me they don't have the car at their facility and they don't deliver anymore due to Covid. The other facility was 2 hours away. So I'm stuck with purchasing a car from their lot. Not many options to choose from may I add. So now it went from $400.00 to $1200.00 to $2900.00 just for me to be walking out with a 2016 Kia Soul with 61k miles. Big differences. Then the insides was dirty. They don't detail the inside. So I had to pay an extra $20 to get it cleaned at a car wash down the street ughhhh.

    On top of that, three days later the engine light comes on and the car has some shaking when it idles. So I called the dealership back and they give me the number to the insurance ppl. I take it to the AAMCO in my area which they provided, and the guy says, "It looks like your tires need balancing and the gas cap is bad (they fixed the balancing and change out my gas cap) and you have a few other issues wrong with it." However Bridgecrest is the worst and is not going to pay for it. So I'm like what now??? Mind you, the AAMCO had my car from a Friday - Monday. So it's past the 5 day return period.

    Good thing I have money saved and did not buy into the pre qualify down payment amount...that said 700 down and I put 9 times that down on my vehicle. The prequalify credit check used the annual wage with my social and everything. No one buy into to the bait they set! Glad for my purchase though I was buying a vehicle regardless. Just good thing I am smarter than that to buy into their gimmick online.

    Hello Sarah,

    We thank you for sharing your review with us. We regret to hear that you are feeling misled regarding our online approvals. We do our best to provide all our customers with a variety of options tailored to their individual needs and budget.

    We look at four factors when it comes to the overall financing options. That includes your income, credit score, and the vehicle you select, which can affect that fourth factor, the required down payment. It’s important for our customers to know that these decisions are real approvals based on the information our customers submit through our website. Any approval offers are dependent on the customer documentation provided directly to the dealership, such as proof of income, proof of residence, credit score, and the desired vehicle also plays a factor.

    We appreciate you taking the opportunity to share your experience and apologize for your dissatisfaction regarding our company. Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact our Customer Relations Department directly at (888) 290-0148.

    Kindly,

    They do not have their crap together in this place. They overbook people to come and just maybe maybe they’ll get to you in the same day or they will get your hopes up. You test drive a vehicle and almost done with the power work then just stop what they’re doing instead of making the customer happy and tell you to leave because they’re closing.

    Hello Thresa,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I truly regret to hear of your experience with one of our dealerships and if our sales staff had caused you to feel pressured to accept our optional products.

    Our goal as a company is to provide the best customer service to every customer that takes interest in DriveTime. Upon providing exceptional customer service, our sales staff does their best to introduce themselves and establish a relationship with potential customers during each interaction. If at any time the service level or communication at DriveTime is not being kept or not up to DriveTime standards, we would definitely want the opportunity to address this.

    While purchasing these ancillary products is always encouraged due to the safety net they provide in various situations, we make it a point to ensure complete transparency when it comes to our optional add-ons. One of which ways that we strive to accomplish this goal is by providing an optional product disclosure at the time of sale. This disclosure details all the optional items available and is designed to aid our customers in distinguishing from those that are mandatory.

    We truly value all feedback and will be using this to improve our customer service. Please know that your review will not go unheard.

    Please know in an effort to prevent mechanical concerns, every vehicle sold from DriveTime is inspected prior to being placed on our lots for sale to ensure they meet standards. Not all automobiles have a spare tire included, for those that are not equipped with this, DriveTime will add an inflation kit for good measure. Since our vehicles are pre-owned and we are unable to determine if or when automotive concerns might arise, each vehicle comes with a 30 day/1,500 mile Limited Warranty along with an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) for 5-years/50,000-miles to assist in most situations. We always want to encourage our customers to go through their claims process with SilverRock if they are presently experiencing any mechanical-related concerns and purchase this service. Our warranty and extended coverage provider SilverRock can be reached at (877) 584-3848 to initiate a claim. You are also welcome to visit their online website at www.silverrockhelp.com if you would like to view your coverage. Please also keep in mind that if the repairs needed are determined to be non-covered components, then they would be considered a cost of ownership.

The Extended warranty is laughable @ $4000. I could replace the motor and trans for that "PEACE OF MIND" $4000... It would've added 20 months to my loan. Get outta here!

    I was looking to buy a car for the first time and Drivetime seemed to have the most reasonable deals within my budget and what I was looking for in a car. I was happy with both locations I visited (first in Downey, and later in Van Nuys), that the offices were clean and not busy. The employees were always very kind and helpful, never pushy or assuming anything about me being a young and new car buyer. We were helped by Anthony at Van Nuys to buy a 2017 Chevy Sonic, especially through the complicated process of choosing a financing option and figuring out a co-signing situation because of my unique financial situation. It did take a while, but I understand it was likely because of having to go through extra/double paperwork with a cosigner. Otherwise I am happy so far with the car and the experience buying.

I a cash car person but my family needed a 2nd vehicle and with our credit not being the best right now, Drivetime gave us an opportunity to purchase a car and with that as we make our payments on time this will help with our credit for sure.

    Thank y'all so very much for helping me with my trade in!! Laura ** in the Fort Worth office was awesome! When we first got in before we even sat down she sanitized the seats and area we were going to. Big points for that!!! The process didn't take that long honestly! As soon as we got there we got to test drive the car we wanted which was great! She was very informative and knowledgeable about the process. We were definitely satisfied.

    The only thing I would say is y'all should probably stop advertising "this is your REAL down payment and your REAL monthly payment." I was approved online for a 2017 Toyota Yaris. 495 down (I was putting 2k down anyways) and 180/month and had I gotten that car the down payment would have been $5600. It didn't ruin my experience, I'm still happy. Thanks to the staff in the Arlington office and Ft worth office but I'm not a big fan of the false advertising. I figured it wasn't 100% accurate but that's a really big difference.

    Hello Jose,

    We appreciate the time you have taken to share your review and thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our deepest apologies if clear expectations were not set during contracting and if you felt pressured to purchase the GAP coverage.

    As mentioned in your review, we offer optional products such as GAP or an extended protection plan to ensure we do our best to set each customer up for success with their purchase. We provide each customer with an Optional Products Disclosure at the time of sale. The disclosure is required to be signed prior to leaving the dealership to aid our customers in distinguishing the optional products from those that are mandatory. Our customers have the option to cancel the products at any time. However, it's important to keep in mind that it will not lower their payment. Typically, any refund due after canceling is applied to the principal balance.

    We apologize again for your experience. We will be using this for coaching and training opportunities to ensure our sales team is setting proper expectations. Please reach out to our corporate Customer Relations team at (888) 290-0148, should you wish to further discuss your feedback.

    Not much I could write could show how much I would recommend these guys to anyone. I bought a vehicle I'm 100% satisfied with at a very competitive price. Braddah Stephen ** was my sales agent, and his service was the best I've ever had for any significant purchase. Not only was he very friendly, genuine, and honest about every detail, including vehicle history and condition (which I have since verified multiple times with mechanics), he and the office staff took extra steps to ensure I had the best experience possible. He even washed and shined up the car for me before I drove her off the lot, and has checked up since to see how I am enjoying the vehicle. Stephen and the other staff were very welcoming, and being a non-car-purchasing newbie, I could tell they were genuine about everything involved in the purchase. There was no pressure whatsoever, and the explanation of products and services (like the extended warranty), were clear and easy to understand.

    This Drive Time is smaller than the neighboring Carmax, at which I went right beforehand and was thoroughly unimpressed. The Carmax salesman was exactly that: just trying to push things on me rapidly without taking time to make sure I understood or heard him, and after driving a very overpriced vehicle at Carmax which was of far less quality than the one I purchased at Drive Time, I would say that Drive Time (which appears humbler and of less stock than Carmax), blew them out of the water. I would recommend this Drive Time and all its staff I've met (particularly Stephen) to anyone out there who just wants an honest experience and a decent car. Awesome job Stephen and everyone, and thank you so much for my incredible car!

    Hello Angela,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I am deeply sorry for any misunderstanding regarding the approval process and if you are feeling misled. I want to assure you that we make our best effort to provide our customers with a clear set of expectations going into the approval process.

    However, it’s important for you to know that these decisions are real approvals and are not guaranteed. Any approval offers are dependent on the customer documentation provided directly to the dealership, such as proof of income, proof of residence, credit score, and the desired vehicle also plays a factor. We accept outside financing as well if our customers are not satisfied with the approval options offered by our financing partner, Bridgecrest.

    In regards to a credit check, we check our applicant's credit when they submit an application online or in-house, and it would be considered a hard inquiry. When our prospected customers visit one of our locations, our sales team will just verify the information submitted online to ensure everything is accurate. We do not do multiple credit checks.

    I appreciate you taking the opportunity to share your experience, and I apologize once more for any frustrations or inconvenience this may have caused you. Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact our Customer Relations Department directly at (888) 290-0148.

    Hello Dennis,

    We greatly appreciate the time you have taken to rate your DriveTime experience. I am saddened to hear the vehicle condition presented to you was not satisfactory and you felt pressured on any of the ancillary products offered.

    Please know that all DriveTime vehicles are passed through a multi-point inspection, where they are detailed to meet DriveTime standards before being transported to our sales lots. I would also like to note that most of our dealerships that do not have a wash detail location on site will have a mobile detailer routinely come in for any touch-ups for those vehicles on the lot. We are sorry if the cleanliness of the vehicle you purchased from us was not up to DriveTime standards and left you feeling dissatisfied. Also, ancillary products offered are a way to set a customer up for success in the life of the loan, in the event something should occur to the vehicle.

    I want to thank you for being a valued DriveTime customer. We appreciate all feedback and will be using this for coaching opportunities at our inspection centers. Should you wish to discuss your review further, you may call (888) 290-0148, and speak directly to one of our Customer Relations representatives who would be happy to assist.

    Hello Debra,

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear you experienced a mechanical concern soon after your purchase that led you to have to pay out of pocket on a rental.

    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. The coverages we offer include Rental Reimbursement for every 8 hours of labor at a daily rate of up to $30/day up to $300 per breakdown on Covered Components.

    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).

    That being said, we want to apologize once more for any inconvenience this situation had caused. If you have any questions regarding warranty coverage, please contact our warranty partner, SilverRock, at 877-584-3848.

I felt comfortable with him and he fast tracked the process with ease for me. I was explained the process and he seemed like he got it with needing me to give him the words. I got the vehicle I wanted and I'm happy.

    They were very helpful. They help me with everything I needed help with. When I'm done buying this car I probably will buy another and recommend a friend. They was very nice and worked with me with the down payment.

    I have never EVER had a good experience with a dealership so I arrived already sulking. These guys did an amazing job! Francisco disclosed EVERYTHING about the vehicle right up front, reminded me to push all the buttons and try all the features, showed me everything that needed to be looked at, etc. When I left Maurice had negotiated my apr down, my down payment down, filled my gas tank and explained all the various paperwork. They turned an awful week around for me and didn't try to talk me into a different vehicle or a higher payment.

    I am very indecisive which made the process longer than expected, but Ernest was patient & very helpful the entire time. He was knowledgeable and answered all my questions about a previous car, insurance and payment options. Will definitely recommend to anyone.

    I had the car parked all night. Woke up this morning 12:19 at 5 to be at work by 5:30. Car sat in my job's parking lot from 5:30 to 3. Got in the vehicle to drive home and start to smell it overheating. Gauge also started to rise. Made it home and all I smell is the car overheating and the gauge was high in temperature. This is very disappointing due to me needing a car to get back and forth to work was the whole reason that I made the purchase. I really need help ASAP. I will be bringing the car back to the location of purchase at 3030 East Sahara Ave Las Vegas Nevada 89104 as soon as possible.

    Hello Carina,

    Thank you for taking the opportunity to write a review. I am torn to hear that you encountered overheating concerns shortly 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 vehicle concerns 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.

    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 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.

    Kindly,

    DriveTime Customer Relations

    My sales woman was awesome. Ms. **. Go see her. However I do not like the fact that my oil light wasn't reset and also that my traction light is on and I have to get it serviced. So I'll be back to you tomorrow afternoon DriveTime to check on that. Why? Because just as much as you want your income in top shape...I would like my product in top shape as well. THANKS.

    Hello Ja,

    Thank you for sharing your review with us, and congratulations on your purchase! I am glad to hear that our sales staff provided wonderful customer service, however, I apologize if the level of customer service you received, and vehicle condition left you feeling dissatisfied.

    Please know in an effort to prevent mechanical concerns, every vehicle sold from DriveTime is inspected prior to being placed on our lots for sale to ensure they meet standards. Since our vehicles are pre-owned and we are unable to determine if or when automotive concerns might arise, each vehicle comes with a 30 day/1,500 mile Limited Warranty along with an optional Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) for 5-years/50,000-miles to assist in most situations. We always want to encourage our customers to go through their claims process with SilverRock if they are presently experiencing any mechanical-related concerns and purchase this service. Our warranty and extended coverage provider SilverRock can be reached at (877) 584-3848 to initiate a claim. You are also welcome to visit their online website at www.SR-Repairs.com, if you would like to view your coverage. Please also keep in mind that if the repairs needed are determined to be non-covered components, then they would be considered a cost of ownership.

    We thank you for your review and send our deepest apologies if this experience has negatively impacted your impression of DriveTime. Should you wish to further discuss your review, please reach out to our corporate Customer Relations department at (888)290-0148 and a member of our team will be glad to speak with you.

    Hello Julius,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. Although we are pleased to hear our sales team was able to help you find your desired vehicle, I apologize that you were dissatisfied with the cleanliness of your purchase.

    Please know that we make our best effort to ensure our vehicles are presentable at the time of sale. Our vehicles are detailed to meet DriveTime standards before transporting them to our sales lots. I would also like to note that most of our dealerships that do not have a detailing location on site will have a mobile detailer routinely come in for any necessary touch-ups.

    That said, I want to apologize again if this has negatively impacted your experience. If you have any additional feedback to share with us, please reach out to our Customer Relations team at (888) 290-0148.
