Hello, my name is Eric Smith. I was born in Dubuque, Iowa. I moved to Fort Wayne 13 years ago when my father’s job transferred us to the area. I attended Bishop Dwenger High School and Lincoln College of Technology in Indianapolis. I started my career with O’Daniel Auto Group in July of 2012. My desire to work for the O’Daniel family stems from their outstanding reputation in the community. I am very athletic, so in my spare time I enjoy playing all kinds of sports. Spending time with my family and friends is also very important to me. I pride myself on going above and beyond for my clients.

I couldn’t of asked for a better experience at odaniel and working with Mitch, he was very tentative with me throughout the whole buying process! I walked into the dealership opened minded with the few c and working with Mitch, he was very tentative with me throughout the whole buying process! I walked into the dealership opened minded with the few cars I was interested in. Mr Warren was very acknowledgeable with all the vehicles we looked at and he pointed me in the right direction for a vehicle that was going to fit my wants and needs. I ended up picking up a 2021 Mazda CX-5 and I absolutely love the vehicle. Definitely will be coming back to see Mr. Warren for my next vehicle purchase More

Simply the best experience that I have ever had with a Car Dealer. Jeff Bahnsen was a fountain of information and ever so helpful in securing my Jeep TJ Wrangler. The vehicle was ready for a test drive o Car Dealer. Jeff Bahnsen was a fountain of information and ever so helpful in securing my Jeep TJ Wrangler. The vehicle was ready for a test drive on time and the paperwork for the title and taxes were seamless. I would strongly suggest looking Jefff up, if for no other reason than to enjoy an example of how a professional salesman operates. Truly a gem. Richard Fortney More

My wife and I were in a bind, trying to buy a decently priced car in one day after hers broke down when we came to o’daniels. It was a breath of fresh air coming here when we were already stressed and ver priced car in one day after hers broke down when we came to o’daniels. It was a breath of fresh air coming here when we were already stressed and very irritated from visiting other dealerships. We were helped quickly and kindly even though it was quite busy. Jeff went above and beyond to find us the car we really wanted in a market that is obviously difficult right now, answered all our questions honestly and made the whole process (mostly) painless. We were never pushed or guilted into spending more than we were comfortable with or into “extras” that we didn’t want and it made the whole experience 10/10 More

I'm just gonna lay in on ya. The guys that work at this particular O'Daniels Car Center are Excellent! Nothing but good things to say about them! I wanna give a special thanks to The guys that work at this particular O'Daniels Car Center are Excellent! Nothing but good things to say about them! I wanna give a special thanks to Jeff and Eric for making sure that not only I left in a safe reliable vehicle, but my family as well! They made this possible and without them I'm afraid i wouldn't be writing such a good review! If the option would give me 6 stars I'd give them 10 that's how pleased I am with my purchase and the people that helped me get there! Recommend Jeff for all your needs! Thanks a lot. Will be looking to buy again in the future! More
