Top Tier Customer Service

The whole process from start to finish was amazing. I did not feel rushed making the purchase and everything was explained thoroughly. I would recommend anyone to purchase or lease a vehicle from Drive Time. Customer service was above and beyond.

Ahmenah was EXCEPTIONAL!!

Ahmenah was EXCEPTIONAL!!! From the time I called, to walking in, I received the best customer service experience. She was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and personable. She made the entire process seamless! I walked out with my keys in my hand and paid nothing, besides buying insurance. 10/10! I purchased with Drive Time in 2019 and paid that car off and never had issues with it and still don’t. I can say that I love doing business with them. Great quality vehicles.
