Great Experience

From start to finish it took roughly maybe 3 hrs, including my test drive. Honestly probably one of the easiest and smoothest experiences I've had buying a car. Fanfode was awesome and did a really great job taking care of us. We got there a little after 6 and ended up leaving after closing but not once did we ever feel rushed nor did I feel like it was taking horribly long either.

Disorganized but friendly and helpful

People were friendly and helpful. Overall though they seemed very disorganized. I went to look at a certain vehicle only to find out they couldn't find the keys and no one knew what was going on. I drove 45 minutes for it with no heads up and had to go home and wait. 4 hours later I get a call that it was because the vehicle was already on hold with a deposit but nobody knew that. Luckily they had another truck that was similar and I was able to come in and purchase it.

DIRTY CARS!

Today I went to DriveTime on Morse Rd., Columbus, OH. I sat in about 20 used cars for sale. Not a single one was clean. I saw hair, crumbs, dirt, grime and stuff I have no idea of what it was. The cars all smelled terrible, like someone sprayed a can of Lysol in them. The driver's seat on several of the cars was so dirty I couldn't bring myself to even sit in them. Very disappointing. I have never seen such dirty cars on a lot. The last time I went to DriveTime a few years ago all the cars were clean. What happened?

Best decision ever

Came in just looking for an estimate and approval. I had just got a car from Byrider, that I couldn't even drive bc it shut down on me after a month . I test drove a 2016 Grand Cherokee with a lil over 100k miles, and I was pleased. But JOSH at the location on West Broad had a surprise for me! He put me in a 2022 Hyundai! He turned an awful few weeks into a GREAT DAY! I am so satisfied, highly grateful and appreciative

Good afternoon I was a cosigner on a vehicle we purchased at your dealership and the vehicle has been nothing but trouble. I went back to the dealership and talked to the general manager and ask if we could get another vehicle he said he could not do it. He said if we wanted to return the vehicle it would be a volunteer repossession and I said I'm not going to trash my credit. I'm very disappointed in your service.

Jason was awesome he let me take all the time I needed. What I didn't like is that they did not have a large selection of vehicles and the vehicles that they mostly had were Kia's. I feel the cars are overpriced but, overall I had a good experience.
