I am very upset to this day for the dealership ripped me off & jacked up my credit within the 1st year of purchasing a vehicle from them. I decided to go there to rebuild my credit since I had very little & only to go to find out that the vehicles they sell breaks down on you within the year of purchasing it. I really plan on suing them for the fake car inspection & giving me a car with a inspection sticker that expired a few months after purchasing the car.
It breaks down on me. I try to take it back to them. They didn't want anything to do with fixing it so it could pass inspection & then they had me pay into this so-called platinum warranty that didn't cover anything that was wrong with it. And I was a very good customer paying months in advance on this vehicle only to get close to the inspection expiring that the damn car breaks down & I reviewed this little pink slip they automatically always have in the glove box saying everything was passed just a year before I purchased it. Yeah right & the other thing the warranty company told me is they always selling folks lemons. Smh. Unbelievable.
The fact is they are a fraud because they have a mechanic shop on the lot that they use, a machine to temporary fix major issues & they fake the print out as though it approved all that is wrong with that vehicle. I would not ever buy or refer anyone to that place ever. I had to do a voluntarily Repo because I had no help from that dealership getting my car fix. It is a rip off place. Do not trust any of them greedy salesmen there! They lie hard! The devil lives there! The picture of your dream car is painted green only in their eyes meantime your heart desire is left burnt to pieces because they took all your hard earned $ for a way to rip it off of you. What a waste & the trauma they caused??? Smh. I'm still going to fight them for what they did to me.
Natasha,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to address your concerns. I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your DriveTime experience. We strive to work with all our customers to find the best options available and if issues ever do arise, we work diligently to find a resolution.
Regarding the mechanical and inspection concerns you mentioned with your vehicle, I can assure you that every vehicle we offer for sale is thoroughly inspected at one of our DriveTime Inspection Centers. If any components fail our inspection, they are replaced. In being a pre-owned vehicle, we have no way to foresee if future issues may arise.

This is the 3 car that DriveTime has ripped me off. For the first one I found out the oil they changed the plug and filter was not on right and it had no oil. The next one the engine almost fell out and the warranty did not cover that. And this last one is the worse. The SUV when we got it I was told they put new tires on it and just now the tire sensor went out. It will be 1200 and it had to be towed since it almost got me hit in traffic and they should have had the tires sensor set by a professional according to Mitsubishi. And again the warranty that they say covered everything is not covered and the last thing they said they would check it out and get back to me. Meanwhile I am missing work and they expect to get a payment this month. First off who has 1200 cash to fix a car and secondly if they want a payment they should work it out and get the car fixed and on the road so I can work to pay them.
Hi Molly,
Thank you for your review. I appreciate your continued relationship with us and am happy you have selected DriveTime for your last three vehicles!
I apologize for the tires issues you are having with the sensors. I would like to look into this further and see how my team can assist.

DriveTime of Duluth was a very pleasant experience for me. A BIG 'THANK YOU' to John ** for his true dedication of listening to my wants/needs and having the patience to work with me through my indecisiveness. John, knew that I needed something dependable and reliable...but also stay within my budget. Although, we test drove many cars, not at one time, did he show signs of frustration. With this being said, after driving to another location to pick up a car I wasn't too sure about...I fell in love with it. I, along with my NEW 2010 Honda Accord, drove off the lot FULLY satisfied with my purchase!! So, to anyone who is looking for someone to treat you more than just a POTENTIAL buyer, I suggest asking for John ** upon your arrival to DriveTime of Duluth on Satellite Blvd. Friendly and helpful staff as well.

First of all, they write their own reviews. The employees do. The guy that helped me with my car said it was required and then asked if I wanted to just do it for them. So the "terrific" reviews you read, probably aren't written by the actual customers. I have had such a terrible experience with this company, DriveTime (now apparently Bridgecrest) ever since becoming a customer. Every time I have to call them they act like they have no idea who I am, and they never know what is going on with my account.
It took MONTHS to receive my license plate, because every time I called they said "Just give it more time." Then come to find out they hadn't even put in the request for my plates!! And now I am dealing with trying to get a refund because they made a mistake on their end and ran a payment they weren't supposed to. After trying 3 different emails that were invalid, I faxed them my bank statement and they said it takes 10-14 business days to review??? How does it take that long to review a simple bank statement? (I work for a company that has to review them all the time. It takes SECONDS to do. Not DAYS!!) So I have to wait over 3 weeks now to get a refund for a mistake that they made... On top of all the other mistakes they have also made in the year I have had this car.
Hello Stephanie,
I appreciate you taking the time to complete a review. I am sorry to hear about your experience in contacting us. We did make some changes, as of April 5th, 2016, our Loan Servicing Company, formerly known as DT Credit, was renamed Bridgecrest.
Additionally, we encourage all our customers to leave a review regarding their experience however, do not require it. We value all feedback as this helps in making improvements to our customer’s experience and changes in the future.
I also apologize for the payment issues you have encountered and would like an opportunity to review. Rest assured I will be reaching out to you in the next 24-48 hours in an effort to turn this around.
Thank you and have a great day!

Overall it was a good experience. The only thing I would say is it took way toooooooo long to talk to finance and sign my contract. I was thinking "hey I got approved online, it won't take that long." We were at the dealership for almost 6 hours, 4 of which was waiting on the finance team. People expect to be in and out when they do things online. Work on that and you would have a lot more happy customers.
Hello Frances,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your visit to our dealership. I am glad to hear that overall, your DriveTime experience has been rewarding. However, I do want to apologize for the time it took complete the sales process. Purchasing a vehicle is a major financial decision with many factors involved. It is our goal to ensure that each customer fully understands the terms of the agreement and that they are comfortable with the finance arrangements provided. While we understand the steps involved in financing or leasing a vehicle can take time, we strive to do so as quickly as possible for our customers. I sincerely appreciate the feedback you have provided as it allows us the opportunity to continue improving upon our level of service. I will be reaching out to the dealership you visited to notify them of your review.
Thank you for choosing DriveTime. I hope you have a wonderful day!

I had a DriveTime Lease and was told it was a cancel anytime lease. After 6 months of having the vehicle I gave it back to Drivetime. Way too many issues with the SUV. Was costing me too much to keep it on the road. Now I am hounded every day for my "late" payment and being it was NOT a cancel anytime lease. Interesting because I was told by the salesperson and the dealer that ALL DriveTime leases are cancel anytime, the website also states this. Liars! You should be ashamed to be taking advantage of people who have credit issues. Piece of crap vehicle and I should have know because it had 6 or 8 previous owners. You could start the car with no key! I called and they would do nothing about it.
Michael,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention and giving me the opportunity to address your concerns. I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your DriveTime experience and I apologize for any frustration this may have caused.
Here at DriveTime, we offer a variety of lease programs. Some of these programs have a return at any time option, while others do not. We strive to ensure that our customers are fully aware of the terms and conditions of their contract prior to sale.
Regarding the mechanical concerns you experienced with your vehicle, I can assure you that every vehicle we offer for sale is inspected at one of our DriveTime Inspection Centers, and any components that fail our inspection are replaced. In being a pre-owned vehicle, we have no way to foresee if future issues may arise. For this reason, every vehicle we sell comes with an initial 1,500 mile or 30 day limited warranty, and every lease vehicle come with a life of the lease extended warranty.
Again I apologize for your experience. If you have any additional questions or concerns I encourage you to reach out to our Customer Relations Department at 888-290-0148. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day.

Hello Christine,
Thank you for taking the time out to leave a review. I am sorry to hear of the condition the vehicle was in at the time of sale. Here at DrvieTime we strive to ensure we are not only providing our customers with the best possible vehicle options but that the vehicle’s outside appearance is up to par as well. I can understand how frustrating it can be, to not receive a call back when you were advised that you would. I will be sure to bring this feedback to the appropriate team’s attention to ensure situations such as these do not occur again in the future.
I would like to discuss this situation further with you however, I was not able to locate your account. Please reach out to our Customer Relations Department at (888)290-0148 and I will be more than happy to assist in turning things around for you.

I would recommend them and do to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. Thanks, Amanda and the DriveTime staff for a very pleasant experience during a trying time.

So I decided to go look at new vehicles and there was a few on drivetime.com that caught my eye. I applied online and was approved for 200 off the rip. We head up there the following day, I had an appointment with someone but her was busy so I got Steve instead which was a blessing! Steve went way beyond what he needed to do to get me into a car. My case was a fun one, due to the fact I'm off work on injury leave. After 4 or 5 trips back and forth (mostly because I still wasn't sure about buying a second car), they got it done.
Steven came in on his day off, just got make sure I got the car. Who does that? The last thing on my mind is work on my day off, but he came in. What was supposed to be a quick thing, turned into a 5 hour cluster. Not because of DriveTime but because the lenders were being a pain. Long story short, if you're looking for another vehicle and you're in Columbus, stop by the Morse Road store and talk to my boy Steve. If they can't get you into a vehicle at this location, then I'm pretty sure you can't get one anywhere!

My son and I had a very pleasant and professional experience with DriveTime in Columbus, GA. It was our first time purchasing a car for both of us. We weren't able to get what my son was looking for, but Nigel and Ophelia found a vehicle that my son was pleased with (payments and all). We never felt pressured into anything like we had experienced earlier that day at other dealerships. Thank you DriveTime for making our first car purchase a pleasant one.

Hello Jon,
Thank you for reaching out to leave a review about your vehicle concerns. I am very sorry to hear that a service light has come on so soon after getting a vehicle with us, and I would like to see how I can assist. All DriveTime vehicles come with a 30 day/1,500 mile limited warranty administered by Aeverex. During the span of the limited warranty, if the vehicle is taken to an in-network repair facility to be diagnosed, it will be at no cost to the customer. Completing a diagnostic test allows DriveTime and Aeverex to see the full scope of the vehicle concern, determine coverage under warranty, and review any options of assistance available. For a list of in-network repair facilities, or additional information on the limited warranty, you may contact Aeverex at 888-781-5649.
Please keep in mind, if you are unhappy with your vehicle for any reason, DriveTime does offer Vehicle Return Programs for both our lease and finance customers. Our finance program allows customers to return the vehicle within five calendar days, or 300 miles, from the date of purchase, and our lease program allows 24 hours, or 75 miles, to return. Additional terms of your specific Vehicle Return Program can be found in the documents provided at the time of lease or purchase.
I would like the opportunity to take a deeper look into your concerns to provide the best possible assistance. In order to do so, I will be reaching out to you within 24-48 business hours to discuss. If you are in need of immediate assistance, please feel free to reach out to my department, Customer Relations, at 888-290-0148.
Thank you for your time, I look forward to speaking with you soon.

The commercial is only to get you there. So is the "pre-approved" application. They tell you that you have been approved on a car but what they don't tell you is that you need $1000 until you get there. Big and false advertisement.
Hello Denise,
I thank you for your interest in DriveTime, I am sorry to hear you did not have an enjoyable car buying experience. Please know that DriveTime strives to work with all of our customers regardless of their credit and background. Our pre-approval process is customized to ensure we are setting our customers up for success. Due us needing additional identifying information that our customers provide once they visit the dealership, we are not able to accurately determine what the down payment will be online. The down payment that will be required is something that our system automatically populates, which is based on the documentation received as well as the vehicle selected at the time of sale. I am truly sorry you are no longer interested in working with DriveTime, should anything ever change we would love to have you as our customer.
I thank you for your time and hope you have a wonderful day.
Respectfully,Philisha-Customer Relations

Naomi was very attentive to me and really tried to understand what I was looking for in a car. The rest of the team was very helpful as well. Great customer service! The only thing I would probably say is perhaps offering a car wash upon sale would be a great customer service move. The bottom of my car looked like someone had previously took the car off-roading. Naomi was kind enough to rinse off what she could. I understand these are used cars, but they are new to the people buying. The establishment is new, so additional perks could likely be added on later in an effort to provide that higher level of customer service. All in all my experience with DriveTime was a pleasant one. Thank you!

I was looking for a car with navigation. DriveTime sold me a car and said it was equipped with navigation.

DriveTime refuses to have it installed... Even though it was false info they gave me... And I'm sure the feature was included in the price.
Hello Kelly,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your vehicle concerns. I apologize for any miscommunication regarding the navigation feature of the vehicle. We strive for all advertising materials to accurately represent the vehicles we offer for sale. On rare occasions, there may be a discrepancy between an online listing and the vehicle's actual features. In addition, there are some cases in which the vehicle is capable of performing specific features, but does not come supplied with the components required for successful operation. Please keep in mind, if you are unhappy with your vehicle for any reason, DriveTime does offer a Vehicle Return Program. This program allows our finance customers to return their vehicle, and cancel their contract, within five calendar days, or 300 miles, from the date of purchase.
To ensure your concerns are properly addressed, I will be reaching out to you within 24-48 business hours. Should you be in need of immediate assistance, please feel free to reach out to my department, Customer Relations, at 888-290-0148.

I wrote an extensive review for Google reviews, so I'll keep this one short. I've never had the type of experience when buying a car like I did with DriveTime Pittsburgh. I never felt like they were trying to just sell me and I got a great car. A gentleman named Brett made me feel comfortable while I waited with some snakes and a beverage; also he has a great personality, Hannah came through in the clutch for me when she heard me say to my sales advisor my phone's battery was very low. She brought me a phone charge so it wouldn't die. I was in the process of setting up my car insurance over the phone and I needed to add my reference phone numbers which were in my contacts. I appreciate her so much for that!
Matt who I was calling "Clemson" because he's fan and was wearing a polo shirt of the college football team was the sales manager who explained how my 3 payment options worked for me to choose the best plan for financing my car. I appreciated that he took the time to help me understand how everything worked in building up my credit. Mohammad who was there from Arizona's corporate building, explained everything for me to understand and provided so many great benefits that is going to help me in the long run as I make my payments. He also was cool in general and even how he interacted with other associates we worked with shows that DriveTime Pittsburgh has a great team of managers and advisors.
My sales advisor Christi ** was a delight and joy to work with. There's so many things I can say about her but one thing that really stood out to me was how she took the time to help me through the entire process of getting the car and made sure everything worked out with the car before I drove it off the lot. Not only will I be a returning customer because of her, I will refer anyone in need of a car to her and DriveTime Pittsburgh. I'm truly blessed and thankful that I went with DriveTime for my purchase and no one else!
