    Brandon ** and Karl with a K ** are very exceptional employees and salespersons. I felt comfortable and at ease during the entire process of the purchase. I never felt pressured or obligated to buy a vehicle, and they listened and understood exactly what I was looking for and did not hesitate to assist me with those needs. Brandon should be commended for his outstanding ability to personalize with your clientele, especially considering the minimal amount of time he has been on the job. As a manager in hospitality, I recognize good service, and you should do everything within your power to retain Brandon's services and skill set. The fact of the matter was that I did not want to use drivetime to purchase my next vehicle, but if you can consistently deliver the outstanding customer service set forth by Brandon and Karl, I may never step foot on another dealership again, regardless of how good my credit is.

    I purchased a vehicle from DriveTime Round Rock and 2 weeks later, a defect caused damage to the side panel. I was told it could not be repaired by the dealership, my warranty, or even insurance. I was very disappointed and still went in to make an additional down payment. I mentioned the situation to Rebekka, the contract person, and she immediately took pictures and got on the phone with the marketing manager. The next day, I was in a new vehicle and couldn't be happier. I want to thank Rebekka for taking the time and initiative to take care of me and ensure I was pleased with my purchase.

    I went in to the Ft Worth location on N Riverside. After being approved for the 795 down, I found 2 different cars that I liked. Has we talked some I was told that the down would be like 1200. But that 400 of it would be deferred to later. That would been ok. So I asked to test drive one of the 2 that I liked. When Reggie drove it up to the front I heard an odd pop noise. I thought ok maybe it was just me hearing something. So took it for a drive and I heard the noise a few more times. And then I walked around it a few time and noticed that the rear tires would need to be replace very soon. I even did the coin test and they would not passed an inspection. Also the rear rotor's were bad.

    So I told Reggie what I thought about it and the problem I found and was told there was nothing he could do about them. Then I asked him if he could see if one of the other lots might have the same car or one similar to it. He said he would check. He was gone about 2 mins, came back out and said there wasn't. So I told him I would think about it and let him know later. Well on Monday Feb 24 I get a call from some lady at drive time about 9 or 10 that morning. She asked me how my visit went. I told her not good and what happen. She said she would check and see if and other lots in my area have what I was looking for. And she found 2 or 3. Well I was now really P.O. that they wouldn't do anything about the one I drove and that I was lied to about not any other ones.

    We apologize for the issues you found with the vehicle you were test driving; and with any miscommunication about the availability of other vehicles. If a customer finds mechanical issues with a vehicle during a test drive, the dealership should have been able to send the vehicle to a repair facility to have these issues addressed before sale.

    We almost got sucked in to the DriveTime nightmare! I have read many reviews about the same experience that we had. We went to DriveTime because we don't have much of a credit score due to the fact that we don't normally finance things. We DO have plenty of income to pay and have been with our car insurance company for over 20 years. The reason I bring that up is because ** at DriveTime in Jackson, MS asked me if we were able to get insurance for the car we were buying!

    We were treated like we were broke, irresponsible, and stupid! The car we wanted to buy had some (probably brake) noise in the front end. We asked that they take care of that before we finalized the purchase. We were given the run around for days and finally they admitted that they wouldn't do any repairs on the car, anyway. Also, our state requires that all vehicles pass state inspection. DriveTime sells vehicles that are NOT inspected! Unheard of! I don't know what the state law says about that, but no reputable dealer is going to let someone drive away in an uninspected vehicle.

    DriveTime's document fees are double that of any other dealer. I experienced some very rude behavior, too. Their sales people don't seem to know much about the car business, only the DriveTime business. They said things that they didn't remember saying and kept us confused on everything. In my opinion, DriveTime is not trustworthy.

    DriveTime really needs to take a look at how they are marketing to get potential customers in the door. The commercials and calls from the customer service department once an application online has been filled out is VERY deceiving and it took us 3 trips before we actually drove off in a vehicle. We also saw several customers get upset and leave because of the deception that was presented to them to get them to the dealership. You are lucky none of them have reported you to the BBB. Overall, our experience was just so so. The management didn't seem to know all the answers to common questions and he appeared to be "shady". We will recommend friends to the dealership but we will tell them everything they need to know and bring going in.

    Original Review: Feb. 20, 2014

    I bought a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. Within the first 30 days which it came with a 30-day warranty I was having problems with the ignition. The Fob key wouldn't come out and the front blower motor would shut off while driving. I called them, they transferred me to the warranty place. I went to the shop they told me to go to. I explained to them that if you shut off the vehicle it would reset the fan and would work for a little bit before doing it again. I also informed them there was a loud rattling coming from under the vehicle which the shop never checked out but was documented in my complaint. The problem happens to be the brake calipers.

    So after several times at the shop and many hours sitting waiting on my vehicle it still was doing the same thing but now getting worse. So I went back to dealer and complain that it's not being fixed properly. They have me contact customer service which again gives me the warranty department. They say bring it back to the same place that keeps replacing the wrong things. I had a Dr. appointment that I had to go to. Now the blower motor goes out again and now the windows won't go up. I get to Dr. and turn off the Fob key and now everything works. I get out of Drs. start the vehicle now nothing works.

    I go straight to the shop and show them. They take 4 hours to diagnose the problem. They even had to get a scanner from another store and say its an internal short in the ignition switch which they gave a fancy new name and call it a WIN wireless ignition node. It's shorting out and not communicating with the computer causing everything to shut off while driving. So now the Shop calls the warranty place and they now refuse to cover it because it's now past 30 days and 1500 miles when this has been the same continuing problem and all they can offer is for me to pay out of my pocket, send in receipts and get a freaking loan extension which means now I'm paying to have vehicle fixed and paying another month at the end of my loan.

    Well, not happening. I'm on disability. I don't have that kinda money. I asked for a different vehicle if they won't fix it. The dealer said no. So now I'm going to be forced into getting a lawyer for Auto Fraud calling the local TV Station, contact 13 that handles these kind of people and lets the community in on their dealings and drive around with how they screwed me by Not Honoring their warranty all over the windows till I get results. Sad part is I already sent people who bought vehicles also. Would like to add I'm not the only one at this Las Vegas location that is having issues. Someone, I believe his name was Henry came in at the same time. He's missing bolts that hold his brake calipers and now his rotors on his Chevy Silverado are jacked up and is having the same issues with the warranty place. These are all SAFETY ISSUES and I want them fixed or a different vehicle.

    I would like to comment on the level of professionalism, and service I received at the Union City Dealership. I'm not a huge fan of the process it takes to purchase a car, however, Georgia made my experience the best I could ask for. It wasn't just her professionalism that encouraged me to write. It was the fact that she really cared about me and what I wanted. She was considerate of my time and very personable. She made me feel comfortable with my decision. She did everything right. I would give her a 9 out of 10 rating.

    There was a situation to occur while I was purchasing. A rude and disgruntled customer showed up, that had some negative feedback from his experience. He was obviously not happy with his purchase and wanted me and other buyers to know. I think the manager's name was Shae... But her and Georgia handled it very well and professionally even tho the customer was very rude. Georgia took it a bit to the heart... It really hurt her feelings but that goes to show how much she really cares about her clients. That helped me to realize that I was dealing with someone who was human... Most of the time that's not the case. Most would act as if it didn't affect them, as if they don't care. Georgia was really concerned and I commend that.

    Most of us don't really care what you know, we want to know that you care. That's the way in impulsing a buyer nowadays.. Show us that you care more than about a sale. Georgia and Shae accurately displayed this during my visit. It was a long day for us there and we did get a bit restless, so neither Georgia or Shae would be expecting this review. Please be sure to highlight their great work because they deserve it. P.S... I am also happy with my car. But that's not as important as how happy I am with the service I received!

    11 days after being sold a truck I am having to do work on it out of my pocket. I was sold a load of crap about a warranty and it was bumper to bumper for 30 days or 1500 miles and I haven't reached either and now they won't cover the bill on the truck repair and have gave me the run around for 3 hours sending me from department to department and giving me bogus excuses. I bought the truck around closing time on Saturday and called them on Monday and took it to the place I was told to take it to.

    This is NOT acceptable and shouldn't happen. When I told them I wanted my trade in back they now can't seem to find it so now it is time for an attorney. DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE FROM THIS COMPANY.

One problem, I recently lost my house, my previous job, and went through a divorce.... my credit was shot. I had purchased a car from DriveTime a few years ago. When I paid it off, the sales manager told me one thing that I still remembered to this day. He said "If you ever need another car loan, come to us and you won't have to pay the down payment." Well, that statement brought my business back to DriveTime. Once again, I found the perfect car for our family :-)

    Once I was "approved" online, I saw they had the particular vehicle I had been looking for at this particular lot. Once I got there, I had to wait in the lobby for about 15 minutes before a Sales Manager came and took my information. Once he ran my credit, I realized he took the lowest credit score available to tell me that I didn't qualify for the actual car that I wanted, and then insisted that I test drive the cars that I "qualified" for. Not only was I unhappy, but my children were displeased also. After the test drive, the SM tallied up my monthly payments and I would be paying almost 500.00 a month for a car which I didn't want nor like... I don't think so... I haven't been back to the lot since. They are actually my last resort. Credit issues or not, if I can pay Drive Time nearly 400.00 plus bucks a month for a vehicle, I might as well be paying that for what I really really want instead of what I so-call "qualify" for.

    My experience with Drive Time on Warden Road in North Little Rock, AR was exceptional. The staff was very friendly and helpful. From my salesman, Zack, to my finance guy, Kevin and to finish off my paperwork with Todd. Was by the far the best experience I have had between many car dealerships that I have visited. I don't mind at all with referring my family and friends to Drive Time NLR to purchase their next vehicle. The staff made everything very easy for you to understand, and went step by step through your paperwork to let you know what you were signing before you signed on the dotted line.

    I went into the Round Rock TX DT facility at 3 PM to purchase and trade in a vehicle and was out of the facility with new vehicle by 5 PM which was a pleasant experience and staff was very courteous and helpful at this location. Your South Austin Stassney location needs a lot of improvement & staff training.

    I had a very positive experience at the location in South Dallas. The process was painless. After wasting multiple days at large dealerships I was able to get the car wanted at the price I could afford. Really no issues with anything. Jessica took good care of us. The only issue was the car didn't have a full tank of gas when I got it. Other than that everything was great.

    I was little afraid to come but once in the hands of Mr ** and the managers involved, felt that you were helping me and doing their professional business at same time. I am impressed about how simple buying a car can be but without forgetting that there are procedures, approvals and requirements a buyer has to meet. I only can say it was a great experience, great people.

    Yes I would like to say thank you to Stephanie **. She is a very sweet and very experience at what she does. She took time out of her day off to come in and finalize my 2005 ford expedition that I bought through her. I would recommend her to anyone I know, to go see her to buy a car from. This is my second purchase at drive time and will buy my next car through her. She is a great and awesome employee you have and again thank you.

    I am totally happy with purchasing a car from DriveTime. It was practically flawless. The only thing I would change is the wait time of having to sign the documents. That took a little time but besides that little minor detail I would recommend everyone that is challenged in the credit area, go there. You will walk in but you will definitely drive out with a smile on your face. I really wish I could give more than 5 stars!!

    When my husband and I were searching for a new vehicle due to our old one having thousands of dollars of repairs needing to be made on a vehicle not even worth a thousand dollars we turned to DriveTime having heard several good things about their processes and their vehicles being very good quality... Man were we misled. We bought our car in July of 2013, and in our state they give you 3 months to get the plates on the car. We were told within about 30-45 days we would have the plates. Fast forward to the week our in transits expired and I had to call repeatedly to be finally told our plates had been there since about 15 days after we drove off the lot. We also had to go through the warranty process a week into owning the car due to the transmission going out and causing the car to jerk and shake whenever we made a left turn. It took them almost 3 weeks to finally approve and repair that issue, but we were denied the coverage for the alignment that needed to be done after the transmission was replaced.

    Now when I was driving home this morning (1/14/13) my car populated a message stating "reduced engine power" and my car is incapable of going more than 15mph. We have had nothing but problems with our vehicle that supposedly went through so many checks before it was sold to us. We are going to be in the market for a second vehicle in about a month and we were going to go through DriveTime again but with all the issues and the fact we keep having issues with our vehicle I don't think we will. And I may be going so far as to find someone to buy out our loan with DriveTime and get a car that won't give us nearly as many problems. I can understand regular maintenance type things but 2 instances of major mechanical issues and we haven't even had the car barely 6 months.

    I am a mother of 2 with not so good credit. Everywhere I went to try and get me a dependable car they turned me around with no questions asked. DriveTime was my last hope and I got approved. I got a 2004 Chrysler Sebring at a decent price with low miles. I would recommend them to everyone I know because if they helped me I know they can help others.

    The staff was friendly and professional. The service overall was outstanding. However, the issue was with identifying a vehicle from the website that met my needs. I selected several prior to arriving (as can be reasonably expected) some were no longer available. Prior to arriving I found 5 additional vehicles that were possibilities and it took several hours to determine which were available and a match. I will say that the staff did everything they could to get the process rolling and get me out the door with my new vehicle. Kimberly (manager) and Justin (salesman) were the best.

    DriveTime was straight to the point. They left no detail about my vehicle purchase in question. Derrick (at the Cassat Avenue location) went above and beyond helping me find the right insurance to fit my budget. They offered me exactly what I was looking for, and I left in my vehicle that day. I would highly recommend them to friends in the future.

    I purchased a vehicle back in October and was surprisingly pleased with the excellent service and the speed of the whole process. Unfortunately, my daughter was in an accident. The vehicle was totaled two weeks ago. Thanks to DT's great service and GAP protection plan I was able to get her back into another vehicle with no hassle in less than 7 days from the accident. Everyone at the Orange Park, FL location is very friendly and helpful. Our family would definitely recommend you go see Matt and the gang at the Orange Park, FL. On a side note... if you ask our 9 year old son, they have the best popcorn in town.

Tell me right away I get approved or not, I'm there for 3 hr. Everything worked for me. All service is done in 1 time. This is what I'm talking about to be a good dealer, I will recommend to all people. Go to your dealer and all service you have is made, easy for me for payment too.

    At first I was thinking that it was going to be another car lot, but when they told me that it's not based on credit it's based on how much you make a month determines your down payment to make it short and sweet, they tell you the truth. I went and gave them the down payment of 600, got into a car that same night, drove off the lot with my brand-new car. I do recommend this for everybody who has bad credit and is trying to rebuild their credit. Thank you, DriveTime. I already have four friends that are going to DriveTime to get their new car.
