Worst experience of my life…
Just purchased the vehicle 4 months ago. Since then the change oil light came on. Thinking they might have just not reset it. I placed a phone call to drive time to see if they changed the oil and they told me that was proprietary information. They left a lock on my spare tire and did not provide the key had to tire on freeway and had to pay extra. 3 months later I had to purchase a new battery and now the transmission has failed and needs $2000.00 to repair. Called drive time to see if they would help and they said sorry should have purchased an extend service contract for $4000.00 which I could not afford. I am a disabled veteran on a limited income. Now I am forced to return truck because I don’t have the money and ruin my credit.

Thank you for leaving your review, John Sappington. We understand that mechanical concerns are never ideal. All our vehicles go through our inspection process which is backed by a Limited Warranty for mechanical failures within the first 30-days/1,500-miles. We also offer a 5-day Vehicle Return Policy, that allows our customers the opportunity to inspect and get comfortable with their purchase. If you have additional questions, please send us a DM or call our Customer Relations Department at (888) 290-0148.
