    Hello Louis,

    Thank you for your review, I am sorry for the frustrations your payment schedule have caused. Here at DriveTime we want to make sure our customers are comfortable with the payments they will be responsible for. During contracting the underwriters strive to ensure they provide our customers with all details pertaining to their loan by explaining the total amount for the vehicle, interest rates, payment amounts and due dates. In most cases, due dates are structured around customers pay schedules. For example, if a customer receives their pay check on a bi-weekly basis their car payment will be due bi-weekly. I apologize once again for the frustrations this matter has caused. If you have any additional questions or concerns you are welcome to reach out to Bridgecrest Customer Service as they are now our Loan Serving Company at (800)967-8526 and a member of the team will be more than happy to assist.

    Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful day.

    Great commercial. Very misleading... My son called twice to make sure they were actually going to be able to help him. He drove an hour to Plano for some sales lady to treat him like trash. She told him straight up that she wasn't going to help him, if he didn't have $6000.00 down. He had a car to trade in, they said that they wanted cash. WHAT A JOKE!!! When it sounds too good...

    Pamela,

    Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. I am very sorry to hear of your son’s experience at the dealership. Here at DriveTime, we strive to ensure that each and every customer has a positive car buying experience and is treated with the utmost respect. Please be assured that we will be addressing this matter with our dealership management team for continued improvement on our level of service.

    DriveTime’s approval process is subject to a number of factors, including but not limited to: income level, credit score, and vehicle specifications. Down payment requirements are also subject to these factors, and final approval is contingent on verification of the aforementioned criteria. Regarding your concern with trade-ins, we are able to take trade-ins. However, there are certain requirements that must be met before a trade-in can be accepted.

    If your son has any further questions or concerns, I encourage him to contact our Customer Relations Department at 888-290-0148. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day.

    My mother and I went into DriveTime just looking to see if I could even get approved for a car, and we were immediately greeted by Steve who helped us the whole time. He was so helpful with us, the poor guy even skipped his lunch to make sure I was leaving with a car of my choice. I was so nervous to make this huge commitment, but Steve made this whole process a pleasurable experience.

    If I knew I had to put as much down I would have picked a different car but there was a mix up on what Altima's. One was for 400 down, and the other was for 1150.00 down but the car shown to me I was told it was the 400 down car when it was actually the higher down payment car, but didn't find out or told this in until the end. My helper was wonderful. The mistake was made by his manager. Overall they all was friendly and the process was so long I didn't want to start over.

    Response from DriveTime

    Hello Leroy,

    Thank you for reaching out to leave a review about your concerns. I sincerely apologize for the transmission issues you have encountered so soon after getting your vehicle. All DriveTime vehicles undergo a multipoint inspection, prior to lease or sale, at our DriveTime inspection centers. At that time, any parts that fail inspection are replaced. However, with pre-owned vehicles, we are unable to determine if any future issues may present themselves at a later time. Please keep in mind, if you purchased the vehicle, we do offer a five day vehicle return program for our finance customers. If you are unhappy with your vehicle for any reason, this program allows you to return the vehicle to the dealership within five days from the date of purchase, to cancel your contract.

    To ensure you are provided with the best possible assistance for you concerns, I will be contacting you within 24 - 48 business hours.

    Thank you for your time, I look forward to speaking with you.

    This is my third car with DriveTime. Why is it my third? Every car I have from them was terrible so I traded them in within the 5 days. Now not to mention I am 6 months pregnant so I really need to get around. When I first got the 3rd car Ivan the store manager promised me all kinds of things that would be fixed through warranty.

    I called warranty because every time I came outside to go to work my tires were flat. Yes FLAT!! So the warranty says "okay". They will approve it even though it's something they usually don't. Okay good. So I call the warranty and they say they are waiting for DriveTime a customer relations to approve my tires. I call customer relations which is horrible!!! And they say "nope we aren't fixing anything." Literally that's what the man says. Now my tires are only okay if I put fix a flat in them which is not a good thing. Remember I'm pregnant right? So my tires could just fall off at any time.

    I don't think it's fair and I don't think I should have to replace the tires. I've been TOLD they would be approved because I've had so many issues. Smh. I have called the Better Business Bureau and a lawyer to handle it because it's been that bad. I would never recommend going here ever to anyone. I'm going to let everyone I know not to go there.

By the end of my visit, I had a 2013 Chevy Cruze picked out. We told Jamarcus we would be returning in 2 weeks, but sadly he was transferred to the Camelback location. So if you need help, and comfort about a car you will be selecting, I highly suggest you ask for Jamarcus. Exceptional service.
