Straightforward Selling Process

Canada Drives has made my selling experience an enjoyable one. Their attention to detail has been top notch. John Dooling was incredibly professional, patient and kind throughout the purchasing process. He helped me to understand the paying off of the current bank loan, and made that process a seamless one. Karan Mann picked up my vehicle and was also very professional and thorough. I love that they could arrive right at my home to pick up my car. The whole process is incredibly straightforward. I would sell to Canada Drives again in the future and trust them with the car-selling experience! It can be a daunting experience to sell privately, and I can confidently say that Canada Drives takes the stress out of selling a vehicle.

Hassle-free and highly recommend

Hassle-free and highly recommend! It took 5 days from the time I applied to having the car parked in my driveway by the delivery person - registered, plated, and with a full tank of gas! I only wish I could remember the drivers name to give him a shout out for his excellent customer service. Overall A+ for this company and its representatives!

I've got a warning for you with Canada Drives

I've got a warning for you with Canada Drives. They are terrible to deal with. Terrible customer service and the finance department is slack at best. I had to bug them to see status of application which is super weird when you're trying to spend money. I'm not a huge fan of slamming businesses but this is bad news bears. I'm so sad because I thought online car shopping would be fun. Nope. Not doing it. Stick to the local dealers.

Bought a car 2 weeks ago.

Bought a car 2 weeks ago.. Great car.. Love my car

However there was a few issues with 150 point inspection.. Set up a date with a garage of choice of Canada drives. 4 days after my appointment, now customer service is ignoring my emails... Not giving me any follow up details and or not giving me next step to fix issues...

I did not mess up on inspection

I just want my car fixed as promised to inspection

Unhappy customer

Update.. After 4 days of no response.. Finally get a response

Once issues are fixed in satisfactory conduct.. I will fix review... But for now I still have not heard from mechanic... We will see

Nov-25...update

This company is a real joke

They tried to fix problem with used parts.. And made issue worst then what it was... And now again they are avoiding my emails

It's been almost a month now... With no real answers

They messed up on 150 point inspection.. Canada drives should own up to mistake and fix properly

So unhappy with customer service experience

Worst company

Worst company, they steal my $800 on return, eventhough the delivery fee was zero but still took the said amount. They even hide issues/problem of the vehicle.

Hi Faisal,

We are sorry to hear your experience was anything less than positive, customer service is very important to us and we would like the opportunity to address your concerns. We looked into your application with us and spoke with the customer relations manager who assisted you with your return. Since you utilized the option to purchase a vehicle from outside of your originating province, our team had to ship the vehicle across provinces and get the vehicle out-of-province inspected. As this additional delivery cost is only present for customers choosing to purchase a vehicle outside of their designated province, this fee is non-refundable. This is indicated in our return policy and unfortunately, we are unable to reimburse you for the shipping/delivery cost. Our team was happy to assist you with the trunk concern however, ultimately you chose to return the vehicle.

If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to email me directly.

Thank you,

Bad experience with Canada Drive

Had a very negative experience with Canada Drives. Received an offer for a vehicle which was satisfactory, decided to move forward with them. Because the vehicle was leased there were steps to complete before the transaction could be completed. The customer service rep advised what needed to be done. We obliged and completed the task which took a four to five weeks due to buying out the lease and getting the ownership changed over and saftied etc. Once this was done, we reached to the rep and who advised the final price. We awaited final instructions to complete the deal. We waited and waited for responses to our 10 to 15 emails but no response. We then called and called and left messages talking to many different people who promised to call back which they never did. I eventually got to speak with a live person after weeks of trying who took over the case from the original non responder. he advised they would review the case and get back to me. After texting and providing some additional information, they finally got back to me. The revised the offer and it was $10,000 less than the original. Their argument was that the market had changed since the initial agreement and the vehicle wasn't the worth the same even though it hadn't been driven in months. They also said the offer expired after seven days per their website. We were never advised the offer was going to expire even after the final offer given to us. Nowhere in the email was there a statement saying so. So, because of their lack of response and timeliness the vehicle sale did not go through. They would not honor the price quoted and said we were lucky to be getting an offer at all. It was overall a very poor and frustrating experience. I would recommend that you Tred carefully when thinking about them because of what happened to us. I won't use them again and don't recommend them to others.

The whole process was great

The whole process was great, easy and very professional. A very convenient way to sell my car without the hassle of it. The price they paid us was very fair. The drop off experience with Daman at the Airdrie location in Alberta was a breez. Very professional guy, welcoming and attentive. Thank you!
It was my first time selling my car through CanadaDrives, I would do it again and highly recommend the process and this company.

Bought out my Lease then sold the car to Canada Drives

Sold my car to them in October 2022. Super fast and clear communication via email with Mitchell Stokes to set it up, and then Paul Kim was the delivery and inspection driver who came to pick it up and that process was about 30 mins, he was super chill and efficient. Overall I didn't really have to do anything, they did all the work, didn't even have to wash the car beforehand or even leave my house, after they took delivery within a few hours the TD EFT hit my account in full.

Canada Drives Changed my offer to a low ball offer

Received an offer from Canada Drivers which was in the range of what I would accept for my Vehicle and I accepted it and then received a phone call and they requested more information on the vehicle and I provided all what was requested and then they adjusted the offer even lower to a low ball offer which the website states they wont do . Very poor service I turned down this offer.

Worse experience ever

Again, you are missing the point. And of course I ultimately decline the application. You tell me why should I trade a 2020 Sorento Black Line with 42000 kms for a 2017 Toyota with 70000 kms?? And evidently your network is sooooo poor. Someone from a dealership contacted me and I was approved for a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and not just that, I also traded my son’s Kia Rio for a Fusion Hybrid and guess what, no income verification required. And you have the nerve to say I ultimately decided to decline the application. You just re-confirm that this company is a joke.

Hi Jorge,

We are sorry to hear your experience was anything less than positive, customer service is our top priority and we would like the opportunity to address your concerns. We looked into your file and reviewed your concerns with our customer service team. When you applied with us, our finance team worked diligently to secure an approval from one of our partnered lenders. Unfortunately, in some cases, banks will request additional documentation to satisfy any stipulations they may require. If the bank does require stipulations to be met, our finance team will request and send all required documents to be confirmed by the lender. We work with many lenders who help individuals in all different credit situations, we try our best to get each and every one of our customers approved for the vehicle of their original choosing. If we are unable to get the selected vehicle approved by the lender; yet we have the approval secured, our customer service team will send a list of vehicles available on our website within the lender's specific approval parameters. This option was presented to you, however, you ultimately decided to decline to move forward with a different vehicle. We understand your frustration on this matter, and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. If you have any further questions or feedback please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Dealing with Canada Drive was a breeze

From the original contact that was made with Canada Drives the experience was next to perfect. Reza ( great Guy ) led me thru the process and it was exactly as stated. I received a call from Julian in Toronto who mentioned the time of pickup ( 6-8 PM ) and there was Lovejoy Singh at the door, then documents were signed and the deal was consummated. Great people, great company. By the way, Lovejoy was a treat to deal with, very business like, courteous,personable; he also led me quickly thru the whole process . He is truly a great Rep for Canada Drives. The deal was done quickly, efficiently and honestly, therefore they receive a 5 star rating from this happy customer. One last thing, Payment was made within 12 hours.
Kudos to Canada Drive.
