Welcome! My interest in the auto industry began in 2006 after starting my first job working / training as a professional Automotive Detailer. After nearly four years of sharpening my skills with detailing , I ended up in a great customer service position at CVS Health where I spent nearly eight years. In late 2019, I was in dire need of a reliable vehicle. For years, I'd heard nothing but positive things about O'Daniel, so naturally I came and purchased my vehicle. I was truly blown away with the "No pressure, relaxed" environment. I admired the customer service skills from all the employees at the store. I was getting in my new ride to head home when I got a knock on my window. The General Sales Manager recognized me from CVS and the rest is history! I'm happily married with two children + my dog Brutus. I couldn't be prouder to be a member of the O'Daniel family. Please come experience the difference with me & O'Daniel Automart / Mazda today!
