Drive Time in Chattanooga has the best service ever. April Spears was amazing. She had us in a vehicle in no time. Thank you April for being so helpful. I highly recommend buying from them. You wont be disappointed.

I did everything required online to find out my down payment. Was going to get the car for my son so he went with to test drive and decide which vehicle. We got a 2017 Kia Optima and he loves it. It also had low miles. Definitely recommend. Ask for Solomon, one of the best and very thorough sales people Ive had the pleasure to work with. Next month will be a year weve had the car.

Showed up in my work clothes because I picked up an extra shift this weekend. Jeans, steel toed boots, and a little dirty from the warehouse. They didnt even want to speak with me. It was beyond aggravating, but also very eye opening. I work in the office in sales but the warehouse work was purely voluntary for a bit of extra income. I have never felt so blatantly ignored in my life.On top of that, once I finally got the keys to test the car I was interested in, I heard a clicking sound when I tried to start it. I asked how they prefer customers to have their mechanic review their vehicles for a third opinion. They said they only permitted people to bring their mechanic with them to the lot. Incredibly shady! I walked out immediately.

Absolute easy process and pleasure to work with my 20 year old son bought his first car through them

Review №5

Drove 40 miles to go look at a specific car they had on the lot. Had drivers licence, had 4 months of paycheck stubs, had additional income info. But they would not even START the application because we didnt have a social security card with us. Asking for the card is completely ridiculous in the first place. But not even starting the application because of it is absurd and even stupid. We went next door to Auto Simple and bought a car an hour later. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY.

I bought my first car here with the help of solomon! He was excellent! I feel very comfortable every time I step into drivetime. Solomon was very patient with me, I definitely stressed him out but he dealt with me anyway! Great experience and customer service!!

Went in and tried to talk to him about buying a car for my father who is 70 and on social security we offered a w2 they said they didnt want to see it they wanted to see four months worth of bank statements instead. As we were trying to get a hold of the bank to get the statements printed out 20 year old kid walked in and asked the same question about a different car they offered him paperwork immediately even though he told them he was unemployed and his mom would be financing it for him the only difference between me and him is I am white and he was an African-American as were the two gentlemen behind the counter. basically if youre a Caucasian male would not recommend going there for a car as they will treat you like dirt

Everyone was really accommodating and got me a nice car within my budget. and they let me test drive every car available to me so that I could find the car I liked best. drove home with it the same day.

Amazing car buying experience. My favorite part (besides the awesome selection of vehicles to choose from) was how personable the staff was. Kim was excellent to say the least. I was listened to, not pushed into anything and fitted for a vehicle that I LOVE. Wow. Thank you for the excellent and personal experience.

First time purchasing a car on my own. The salesman Solomon was a huge help, made me feel comfortable, and also educated me on the financing options. I absolutely would reccomend if you are looking to purchase a vehicle for the first this is an excellent place to go. Solomon provided A+ customer service!

My experience with April Spears and Solomon Williams was wonderful. I never thought purchasing a car could actually go smooth or be enjoyable. If you need a vehicle go see them, you will not regret it at all

Review №12

Well first I love how I could do an online check before actually coming in and was certain to leave with a car. Ms.April helped me over the phone and told me I was approved and then when I got there my paper work was mostly done and I was assisted by Kristopher, who helped me pick out my new car and gave actually what I wanted and needed. Friendly environment and warm welcoming as well.

Review №13

KD is a great asset to your company. I told him what I was looking for and he made it happen. It didnt take long at all. The transition from customer to car owner was smooth. Unfortunately I was the victim of a hit and run that totaled my car in less than 24 hours. So Ill be a Drive Time customer again in just a few more days.

Review №16

I showed up early for my appointment and looked at the inventory outside. I had narrowed down to 2 SUVs that I was interested in test driving. I was outside for atleast 30-45 minutes looking. No one came out, no issue there but strange when youre at a dealership. So I made my way inside. I was greeted by a lady sitting at a desk a few feet away and let her know I had an appointment. She cut me short to ask where my mask was while repositioning her own. The mask mandate had been lifted prior to this but I understand some places still participate. I let her know I have one in my vehicle, she waved that there were some at the door I could use. At that point I just left.I understand the fear the pandemic has imposed on people, but when it distracts from providing customer service, theres an issue. Apparently she was too concerned about my mask to really listen to me. I received a call the next day from the sales agent I was to meet with saying I missed my appointment. I was clearly there ready to do business. I purchased a vehicle that day, just not with DriveTime.

Review №18

KD provided excellent customer service and made my son’s first time buying car an experience that we won’t forget. We were hesitant at first about coming here but I can truly say that everyone in the building was courteous and tailored to my son’s needs.We did not feel pressured but felt as if we had a team member collaborating with us to find the best fit AND he walked away with a newer car than what he had in mind with an affordable payment.

Reserved a car. It was sold. Reserved another car. It was sold. Was told reserving a car does not actually hold the car. Found a 3rd car. Was quoted a certain amount down and certain monthly payment based an application with proof of income and credit history. Drive over 1 hr to purchase car. Cost is now almost 1 1/2 times more than what was quoted. Did not purchase from them! Will never recommend this business. Shady!!!

KD made this a great car experience. There was some trouble verifying some things but KD and the entire staff were beyond helpful and didn’t make buying my 2013 Toyota Camry a hard one. They took their time to explain everything and they really worked with me. Especially with me only being 18 and hardly having credit. I will definitely be going to DriveTime for now on. Thank you!

Horrible experience with management, solaman was nothing but rude the whole car buying experience in my opinion. the cars already having issues within less than a week of having the car.

We bought a car for my girlfriend C. Nation. It was a very easy process from start to finish. KD was very helpful. She had her heart set on a Nissan Altima. He set her up with a newer one with less miles than what she originally thought she would be able to get. All the pieces fell into place. Insurance was even less than what we thought it would be. We had lost her previous Altima in last years tornado. She was devastated. This whole experience helped her put that in the past. Thank you guys so much. She is VERY HAPPY!!

Rude Sales Staff right as we walked in the door and once we drove the car off the lot we made it half a mile down the road and the car started overheating, losing power and smelled like the engine was going to catch on fire. Took the car back and left it in the parking lot. Cant wait to have this phone conversation in the morning.

I went with my friend to get a car he had been pre-approved for zero down any car on the lot. When we got there he could not get a car because he was working for a temp agency and hadnt been on the job long enough. The people that drive time were very friendly knowledgeable and helpful but they need to change their app because he was all excited and very happy because his truck broke down and he really needed a vehicle and when they turned him down he was so disappointed upset and let down. they do not need to tell you that youre pre-approved on their app with zero down for any car on the lot because they dont know that until they get all your information it was very misleading and Im highly disappointed and I will not go here or recommend anyone go here myself ever again you dont get somebodys hopes up like that and then dash their dreams against the rocks when they get there you just dont do it especially in these times.
