I met with Ms Beverly

I met with Ms Beverly! She's very professional and has a wonderful calming demeanor. She was not like other pushy sale reps. Ms. Beverly made me feel very comfortable the entire time. I certainly would recommend Drive time!! Thank you for the great experience! Kudos Ms. Beverly!

I love the entire experience

I love the entire experience. Except me getting the car and something being wrong with my brake light and having to make an appointment to get it fixed. The sales rep told me in case it's not covered. They would do what they can to ensure it gets fixed.. Got pulled over the same day because of it. But other than than my experience was good

Shoutout to MaryJane and Jose (the GM)…

Shoutout to MaryJane and Jose (the GM) they were amazing during this buying process. Listening to what we had to say. Showing us cars in our budget that will fit a family of 5. We were able to leave the lot with the nicest car we have ever owned.
