Excellent Customer Service

I loved all the selections of vehicles that I could choose from online. I was able to take my time and choose the best choice for me and my budget. After connecting with Hayden it was smooth sailing from there! He walked me through every step of the process and was always available to answer any questions that I had. I felt like I was his only customer! He followed up with me after I picked up the car to see how things were going. followed up again a few days after that to make sure that I was still happy with my purchase. I must say that Hayden was absolutely amazing throughout this entire process. I will definitely refer him to anyone that I know wanting to purchase a car. You all are so lucky to have him!

Minnette, thank you for sharing such a wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that browsing our online selection made it easy for you to take your time and find the BMW that fit both your needs and your budget. It’s also great to hear how seamless everything felt once you connected with Hayden. The level of care, availability, and follow‑through you described is exactly the experience we want every customer to have.

Your kind words about Hayden mean a lot. Feeling like his only customer, receiving clear guidance at every step, and getting thoughtful follow‑ups after your pickup all speak to the dedication he brings to his work. We’re grateful you noticed and took the time to share it. We agree that we’re lucky to have him on the team.

Thank you again for choosing Driveway. We truly appreciate your trust and your willingness to refer others.

I would never use this company again

I would never use this company again. The jeep I got from them is still in the shop a month and a half later. I got a quote at over $10,000 for repairs. I definitely would not buy again. None of these repairs listed in the ad. They told me it was buy as is. Then they offered me $800 in a take it or leave it scenario. So be wise and give yourself a chance to inspect the vehicle

Jaz is the go to girl!

I am in the process of purchasing through Driveway, thanks to Jaz! Buying a vehicle online can come with a lot of uncertainty, but she has made the process thus far, feel easy and stress-free. I haven’t received my car yet, but everything she said would happen along the way has happened exactly as she explained. She’s been incredibly helpful, responsive, and guided me every step of the way, which has increased my confidence throughout. I truly appreciate her support and would definitely recommend working with her!!

I financed a Jeep Renegade 2018 through Driveway, it was a horrible mistake. I’ve only had it a year now, and had to have the engine replaced, the mechanic informed me that this was not something that just happened, he insisted I was sold this and they would has to have full knowledge of the motor damage , it has been costly and emotionally traumatic. They have done nothing to fix this

D’Audric was amazing

D’Audric was amazing! Beyond helpful, took me step by step through the process. Not pushy one bit, just there to provide support. As a female buying a vehicle, it can be stressful. This experience was made easy, and understandable every step.

Nicholas has been awesome to deal with

Nicholas has been awesome to deal with. He is very professional, communicative, and makes the whole process stress free. If he wasn't as good as he was I probably wouldn't have purchased because I was little irked with the DMV/Documentation fees.

Easy Process, Poor Communication After

My sales rep, Ethan, was great and the overall purchase process was seamless and easy. That part I can’t complain about.

However, the biggest issue is the lack of communication and overall customer experience. As a second-time buyer, this experience was far worse than my first. After the initial sale, communication completely dropped off. There was no proper handoff, no guidance on next steps, and it felt like once the deal was done, I was left on my own.

It honestly felt like everything was just scripted, and once that part was over, I got ghosted.

I’d still give credit where it’s due to the team that helped with my first purchase, but this second experience was disappointing and needs serious improvement in after-sales support.

Update : someone from your review team reached out, but guess what? i called three times, no answer, and even texted back still nothing. so i’m assuming it’s just an automated message.

Hi Ronnie, thank you for taking the time to share this and for being a returning customer. We’re really glad to hear Ethan and the purchase process itself were seamless and easy, but we’re truly sorry to hear about the breakdown in communication after the sale.

That post purchase experience and handoff should feel clear and supported, and what you described is not the standard we aim for. We understand how frustrating it must have felt to be left without guidance after everything was completed.

We will have a member of our team reach out to you directly so we can review this further and make sure your feedback is fully addressed. Thank you again for bringing it to our attention.
