Great Customer Service Tex was great to work with! he helped us chose the right truck for our family and lifestyle! We went into the dealership with wanting to buy a used t Tex was great to work with! he helped us chose the right truck for our family and lifestyle! We went into the dealership with wanting to buy a used truck, and we walked out with a BRAND NEW DODGE! Never in my life would my husband and I think we could afford a new truck but Tex and Craig made the transition smooth and fun! I will always buy a car from Odaniel and I will definitely contact Tex!

I wish all dealers were as upfront as ODaniel I will admit that I am not a dealer's dream client. I don't want into the door, ask for a price, and then proceed to pay that enormous MSRP. Nope... I will admit that I am not a dealer's dream client. I don't want into the door, ask for a price, and then proceed to pay that enormous MSRP. Nope...instead I sent an e-mail to numerous dealers on their current inventory and asked that they give me their best price. I had numbers running all over the board that showed me inconsistency in pricing...and also that dealers will never give you their best price first. Along comes (Everett) John Smith...he had a conversation with me. Asked what I was looking for and what could be done to earn my business. I told him I don't want to play the game...I just want a price. He came back with a price that I found more than fair. Upfront he said this is the best I can do, how does this work? Well, I came up the next morning and signed the papers. My wife and I are very thankful for the quick and ease of the transaction. Andrea in finance was not pushy and fully explained everything we were signing. Probably the fastest transaction I have ever had in a dealership. While John was showing my wife how to work her new vehicle, Craig had come up to me because he had made some calls to try and buy my vehicle we were replacing. He did us a solid by finding another ODaniel dealership willing to give us what we wanted for our vehicle. Perfect. While the sale is complete....the relationship isn't. We will be back again. More

Jeep Grand Cherokee lease I have purchased all of my vehicles exclusively from O'Daniel because I have always been treated fairly and honestly by everyone at their dealership. I have purchased all of my vehicles exclusively from O'Daniel because I have always been treated fairly and honestly by everyone at their dealership. I have confidence in the pricing that I receive for my trades, as well as the price I pay for their cars. And attention goes from the showroom all the way to service. And my salesman is always doing everything that he can to ensure that my needs are addressed. I couldn't ask for better service than I receive. More

total satisfaction We had test driven six vehicles from 4 dealerships. Odaniels sales staff were very patient with us and very helpful. Working with Elizabeth and Meliss We had test driven six vehicles from 4 dealerships. Odaniels sales staff were very patient with us and very helpful. Working with Elizabeth and Melissa was beneficial and helped us since we had not purchased a new car in years. They waited for us to make our decision, not pestering us and answering our questions every time we called or stopped in. Could not have asked for a better sales relationship. Had totaled out a car and they helped get us in a Chrysler Pacifica 3 months later. Will definitely spread the word about Melissa and Elizabeth and go back when I need another vehicle. More

Awesome from start to finish I visited the dealership after working allnight. I wasn't really sure if I wanted another vehicle so I talked to Jeff on this morning about all the th I visited the dealership after working allnight. I wasn't really sure if I wanted another vehicle so I talked to Jeff on this morning about all the things I was looking for and not looking for in a suv. I never felt pressured or felt like I was being rushed which made me feel calm and appreciated. I ended up being there about 5 hrs test driving, looking. Long story short I not only got exactly what I wanted, a 10% interest rate less than the loan I was paying on my trade in, drove to another lot to get this suv and Jeff gave me one of his awesome green smoothies after being there so long, Jeff went over all my little gadgets in My suv. I had the best experience with Odaniels! Jeff and the rest of the staff I dealt with thumbs up. Jeff Cearbaugh thank you! Odaniels thank you! More

Above and beyond I do not even know where to begin with how amazing this dealership. From the sales to management to the financial team. Every step of the way they mad I do not even know where to begin with how amazing this dealership. From the sales to management to the financial team. Every step of the way they made the process feel really easy and i never once felt as if they were "just in it for the sale". I have bought a couple vehicles from them now and i have gotten my family that lives in ohio to drive all the way too because of the fantastic service. All my future purchases will only be made at Odaniel. They really treat you like family! More
