    My experience was good until I got to the part where they offer you Silver Rock. Or stress in an adamant way Silver Rock. It made me feel as if I did not purchase Silver Rock the car was a lemon and it was not going to work without it. Therefore, the reason for 3 1/2 stars, if possible, because they made another customer feel the same way.

    I purchased a Kia forte from Drivetime three and a half months ago. My purchase included a five-year powertrain warranty from Silver Rock for $3555.00. I recently noticed some leaking spots on my garage floor, so I took my car to an authorized Silver Rock repair center to have it diagnosed. The repair shop stated it was the coolant reserve tank that was leaking. Here`s the problem in a real way. The cooling fan and the coolant reserve tank are one unit and can`t be replaced separately. The contract covers the cooling fan but not the coolant reserve tank. Remember I`ve only had the car for close to four months and the very first time I have to use the warranty it doesn`t cover the repair, this is a $400.00+ repair. This warranty is not worth the paper written on.

    Outrageous prices. Check the prices on sites like **. Most buyers pay almost twice the price they should. Trade in value is a fraction of what you paid for the vehicle. Interest rates are also outrageous. They take advantage of the people who need the vehicles the most. This is not the place to purchase a vehicle. Their repossession rate is off the scale. Their inventories are mostly high mileage high mileage vehicles. If you traded the vehicle in a week after you purchase this you would lose over 85% of its value of what you paid. Don't waste your time and money and money. Most people end up with worse credit than when they started with these people.

    Do not buy a car from these people. They are a rip off. I am buying one from them now. When I got the contract they told me it was monthly payments. When I finished, got home, I find out it's every two weeks and the payments went up from what they told me they would be. Also there's all kinds of hidden damage and stuff on the car. They also told me there was no recalls and there is recalls on my car and my daughter's car she got. This place is a sham. They don't honor their word. They lie and I'm telling you from a verified person who is purchasing a vehicle walk away while you can or you're going to get screwed also. They charge you a really freaking high interest rate.

    Updated on 01/30/2025: The fact that I purchased a vehicle with a bad motor and had to write about the company should tell you to stay away. They are liars, no reimbursement just hot air. In Oct I purchased a 18 Ford Escape. Within 20 days it died. Towed to Firestone in which they stated new motor need, I then dealt with Drivetime's crooked employee after sending receipts and documents to show the business practices of non disclosure of the vehicle condition, to get a letter for reimbursement, guess what guys no more contact from them. Just lies and ignores.

    Original review: In October I purchased a vehicle from the Arizona Ave location in Chandler. Needless to say the vehicle motor needs replaced after 30 days. I've called Drivetime to be told that Silverrock probably won't pay for replacement or repairs even though it's at the 30 days. They should have know they were selling me a vehicle that had recall on motor issues and in fact told me that there were no issues it was checked out. Hard to believe if vehicle only lasted 30 days.

But sent over the paperwork for the wrong car and then said that’s the one we wanted. After we drove over 2 hours to get the car that we thought was already reserved for us, he never reserved it or anything and ended up saying that was the car we told him to reserve for us when it was clearly not.

    Fraud. People, be very careful with Drivetime dealerships. My wife and I was looking to purchase another car because we needed something larger for family. We went to the drivetime website and we saw a car. We went through the drivetime "experience." With the real down payment, real monthly payment quote on the advertising. That was the first experience that was negative to me was because when I brought it up, the fact that the advertisement was false concerning the real down payment, real monthly payment it quickly changed.

    Number two was the finance company that they tried to finance me through literally was trying to charge me more to finance the car than the car itself so the charge with his car literally doubled at the end of the financing. To top it off after 20 days, the car broke down. There was a busted radiator, and after talking to the mechanic, he was explaining to me that someone was putting regular tap water inside inside the radiator with the coolant, the coolant cook the antifreeze and overheated, cracking the radiator, leaving my family stranded on the freeway.

    In contacting drivetime and everybody affiliated with financing this car I had to pay for my own toll, I had to pay for a Uber for my family because they would not provide transportation. And as I was trying to discuss the situation with different members of the drivetime team, Bridgecrest financing they all were over talking and double talking talking in circles. No one would address the car straight out as it was. I literally had the car for 20 days and it broke down and had my family stranded. One of the representatives literally told me when I asked her this question, Do you honestly believe that I should continue paying for a car after 20 days it breaks down, I should continue with the purchase of this car? I was told that if that is the finance package that I signed, then yes. This has been the worst car buying experience that I've ever had in my life.

    My initial experience with DriveTime was great! We had an amazing salesman, we found the car we wanted (2019 Ford Explorer) and it was all within our budget. We did mention some small things we noticed on the car and they said everything would be covered within that 30 day window as long as we took it to authorized repair facility. Cool, was happy with taking the vehicle somewhere to do small repairs; as I know, not all used vehicles are perfect.

    We found a repair shop that worked with SilverRock (the warranty company DriveTime uses) and they looked over our car top to bottom. Come to find out the transmission had been replaced by DriveTime only 100 miles prior to us purchasing the vehicle, and DriveTime failed to mention that it had a major repair done. On top of all that, the repair shop was able to see that the new transmission was already failing and it was due to DriveTime not adequately replacing it the first time. The Repair shop told us they have to wait for approvals from SilverRock to start any work, fine. That took a few days, then it came back as not approved.

    The shop resent new information and then SilverRock approved the replacement. As if that process didn’t suck enough, the transmission was going to take a week to come in and needed several other repairs too. My car has been in the shop since I purchased it and if I had been warned about the condition the vehicle had really been in, I probably would have moved on to a different car. The “background” they give you on your car is NOT all there. Do yourself a favor and pay for the 40 dollar CarFax. I won’t ever buy from DriveTime again. I’m going to be paying on a car I have yet to enjoy.

    Staff were friendly & worked to get me in the vehicle I wanted, especially Dante who went above & beyond to resolve down payment amount discrepancy & “accepted” verifiable income! I will say from the banking side (Bridgecrest) - it was absolutely ridiculous that $80 in verifiable income was the difference between a $300 down payment & a $900 down payment; I had $4320 of “accepted” verifiable income & needed $4400 to drop the down payment from $900 to $300?! That math ain’t mathing!

    And I had much more verifiable monthly income that just wasn’t accepted, but there was enough there that that $80 should not have been enough to keep a deal from being done & keep Dante from completing a sale that he worked for & earned! That hard line for $80 that was clearly covered by documents that you would not consider tells me you really don’t care about the DriveTime salespeople, general managers, or customers! I bought the car (& paid the bigger down payment) because Drivetime & Dante earned the business despite the fact Bridgecrest didn’t, & since that $80 was enough for you to justify not bending/moving to make a deal, trust me when I tell you that same $80 will be enough to keep me from ever bending to do another deal with Bridgecrest!

    As I was driving home black ants started crawling all over the inside of the car and on me. Then the car started shaking and the engine light came on after I got on the highway. I wasn't allowed to test drive on any road with a speed limit over 45mph, if so I believe the mechanical issues would have shown up prior to purchase. Once I arrived back home I immediately took the car to Firestone per Drivetime's manager's directions. I drove THREE hours for this particular car. I had spoken to Derek prior to driving down and informed him that the 2016 Nissan Rogue was the ONLY car that I was interested in and set an appointment for 11:00 am.

    I arrived about 15-20 minutes early to find the car being brought up for another customer to test drive. AFTER the other customer decided not to test drive it I was allowed to. I currently own a 2017 Nissan Rogue with 232k miles on it and have confidence in Nissan products. I just bought a car and can't drive it. I was told that if I require a rental car that I would be reimbursed. Who has money for a rental??? Praying that this issue is resolved and the car repair expeditiously.

The next day I was able to go in and “back out” of that specific vehicle and was afforded the option to get another 2014 Chevy Equinox; this one with lower mileage. All seemed well…until I began having trouble with this one and had to use the 30 warranty for repairs.

And finally, had car for 3 months, throws check engine light, took to BMW dealer only to find out there’s over $5000 in repairs to make it safe and roadworthy.

So you're poor, you have bad credit so let's charge some outrageous interest rate and by the time you pay this off, the vehicle will most likely be ready for the dump. Walk, ride a bike, ride the bus, save some money and buy from a reputable dealer and Lender with a warranty longer than 30 days.

    I was out of work for three months and my credit was horrible. I went to Drivetime two weeks ago and was presented with a decent offer of a $395 down payment for a very nice car but I did not have the down payment. Two weeks later, I had the down payment and was told my application was still valid but when I got to the dealership I was told that I now needed a $1,000 down payment, that the original car was no longer available and was forced to take an add on that I didn’t want. I told him that I only had the original $400 and that is when he directed me to the $500 down payment cars. He directed me to a car that was $362 bi-weekly and I told him that I couldn’t afford that and that I needed monthly payments. He ignored me and kept going until I finally said no.

    I then picked out a car that I didn’t want because it was the only one that I could afford but when he told me the monthly payment I said that I wasn’t paying all of that for a 2018 car despite how desperate I was. I asked him to take off all of the add ons and that’s when he started getting rude and yelling until I got up and was about to walk out. My original interest rate was 13.95%. It all of a sudden it became 19.90%. I got up and despite being desperate was about to walk out when he softened his tone and I came back in and very reluctantly signed the deal. I regret it and and seriously considering taking the car back. NEVER AGAIN DRIVE TIME.

    The car purchase experience was a nightmare with terrible customer service at the New Castle Delaware location. Representatives were not helpful at all, we had to travel back to the state several times, and they did not offer any courtesies at all. I was very stressed with the purchase experience and the documentation has incorrect mileage and other information incorrect on it. If that wasn't enough the vehicle itself has extensive mechanical problems and two definite collision sites according to DriveTime in network mechanics.

    DriveTime affiliate mechanics give a diagnostic readout of four critical matters: Communication with the Steering Column is faulty (SCM/MRM). The resistance of the Starter Battery is too high. Front Keyless Go Low Frequency Antenna is faulty. An open circuit exists. The Satellite Radio Antenna is faulty. There is a short circuit to ground, and there is a short circuit to the battery (+)

    To add insult to injury the rear passenger fender has clear car collision damage that goes beyond cosmetic. The mechanic told me.to take the car back. And there is another collision site on the driver's side door. Not to mention a host of other scratches and dents we did not notice because we made our purchase at night.

    The dealer didn't bother to clean and prepare the vehicle either and because it was after close when we walked out the door was locked behind us and the lights cut off. We drove off with huge error message on the dashboard that reads "STOP VEHICLE! LEAVE ENGINE RUNNING!"?!?! This has been a nightmare experience! I want to exchange the vehicle for a decent vehicle without mechanical issues and clear and obvious collision damage. I can't believe DriveTime even sold a vehicle like this. Two DriveTime affiliate mechanics shops can't believe it either. This has been a terrible experience. I want another vehicle please or to return this one.

    I went in to test drive a traverse & loved it. Sales rep walked me thru paperwork & told me my down payment would be $700. I agreed & told him I would reserve it with $100 today & pick it up on Friday. During test drive the low tire pressure light was on. I asked for that to be checked. Jubert said he would take care of it. Friday afternoon I receive a phone call telling me my down payment has gone up to $2100. What? Why? Unprofessional & lack of knowledge of the situation. This could have been avoided but it was not. The rep was clueless & didn't care about the customer. I picked up the vehicle. Upon picking it up, it had 1/4 tank of gas, dirty car, 50% oil life & the tire pressure light was still on. I drove straight to Firestone to have the vehicle checked out. There were 2 nails in the tire. It needed 3 new tires. Silver Rock did cover the cost but this took up 2 days of my time. Bad experience.

    I visited the Lombard location recently on a Friday. The minute I walked through the doors I was greeted and assisted immediately. This location has a very well trained group of individuals who not only talk the talk of customer service but walk the walk of customer experience. Although I had the opportunity to work with Alicia at one point (amazing all around) but my final experience was with Jwon. This guy exemplified the best customer service experience that anyone could encounter at an establishment. He not only gave me and my family an awesome customer experience, the knowledge he presented was topnotch and outside of anyone’s league that I have encountered at any dealership. His laid back, nonchalant character just made you feel like you’ve known him for ages.

    I would recommend any and everyone that I know to this location for a great buying experience not only for a second or third time but for your absolute first time vehicle shopping experience. From the beginning to the end the service just got greater overtime throughout the entire process. Thank you for an amazing and unforgettable customer experience. Keep up the awesome work!!

And in 30 years of buying cars, I have never had a salesman call the next day to make sure everything was good. See you guys next time. Customer for life!

    Very unhappy about vehicle performance with transmission, braking and turning noises, leaking underneath and change oil light is on just days after purchase. Test drive was stop & go only. Vehicle wasn’t manicured, washed (had old duct tape markings on sunroof.) No car manual, No floor mats, No tire stem caps, etc., etc.

    Day 1: While I was waiting for the temp tag I noticed the tire was low. As the salesperson was putting air in the tire it was leaving out but somehow he managed to get the air back in. 5 minutes after leaving the tire became completely flat, stuck on side the road with no spare tire. I had to pay out of pocket to a mobile mechanic to change my tire. Well come to find out the stem valve was bad lol. So I had to get a used tire and a new stem valve. Day 2: The car stalled and I had to get it towed all out of my pocket. PLEASE DON'T BUY A CAR FROM DRIVE TIME THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!

    Thank you for reaching out. Not all cars have a spare tire included. However, if a car doesn't have a spare tire, we add an inflation kit to help. If you have questions about this, you can give our Customer Relations Department a call at (888) 290-0148.

    The sales staff were great. I met with Tim initially for my test drive and initial paperwork. Garrett provided me status update on phone. Pablo finalized paperwork and car delivery. He helped me get all the apps on my phone to help with payment and theft. Drive time works with all credit types. Highly recommend!

    In May they sold me an suv 2023 with 7,000 miles on it and after two weeks the transmission, oil pump, and other major components on this truck went out. Now we’re in Aug and I have yet to see or drive my suv. My thing is before you sell a car to your customer make sure you inspect it first, and customer make sure you asks a inspection report before you purchase (thank you for nothing Drivetime).
