LaVelle Forrest5 months agoI have never had a smoother experience at a car dealership before. I called DriveSmart in need of a vehicle asap and Roland wasted no time to help me. He was clear, thorough, listened to what I needed and delivered exactly that! I was in and out in about an hour and a half! If you need a car, go see Roland!

Kennedy Mayfield5 months agoOne of the best car dealerships I’ve been to. Both Will the owner and Roland my sales rep, were super patient and helpful with getting me into a new car after my wreck. They not only helped solve my problems that came along with the process of buying a car, but gave me the support I needed to get through the process. I’ve been in support of them for 10 plus years and trust them every step on the way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Tina Marroquin8 months agoI’ve bought now 2 vehicles from them Michael was my 1st sale guy and he was wondering . Gavin sold me a 2011 Ford escape and he did a great job . Thanks to him and the hard working team I was able to get it . Another reason I chose them is that you’re not there all day . A few days before I sent my information over to Gavin and he got working on it right away and Saturday I walked in and out in about an hour. Thank you to Gavin and his team .

Tia Burns9 months agoBig shout out to Roland for assisting me with the purchase of my first car. He was straightforward with me through the entire process and made it his business to help me stay within my budget. He was very patient with me and tried to make the process as stress free as possible. I am very satisfied with my purchase and will recommend DriveSmart to others.

PAULA LOADHOLT10 months agoRoland was great he got me approve and in a car I wanted in quick time and was super nice and helpful..Go to him if you need a car he will definitely work for you. I asked that they put gas in this $15,000 car because it was very close to empty, Roland went to management to do so they only allowed him to put $10 in because the hand did not move much at all. I feel they could’ve full the car up that was not a good move
