My name is Josh Burkhardt, but I go by Tex. I was born in Houston, Texas, but I have lived in Huntington, Indiana for the last 16 years. I graduated from Huntington North High School. I came to work for O’Daniel because of the customer satisfaction and family environment. Before I came I was not going to sell cars again, but a friend told me about the O’Daniel difference. He was right and it was a great move! I am married to my wife, Tiffany Marie, we have 2 beautiful daughters and a lab named Roxie. I attend The Pointe Church. In my free time I love to be outdoors, fishing, and playing with my girls. I pride myself in having good integrity, a great family life, and working on personal development.

He made sure that the van we picked had everything that we would need for a busy family always on the go. He was very friendly and family oriented, by the time we were done buying our van we felt as if we had been friends for years. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a new vehicle. More

Josh Burkhardt reviewed options with us even though we were looking to deal with another sales person. Josh explained, "We work as a team" and he was glad to help in Corey's absence. Once my wife picked out the model she wanted with the help of Corey Harris the search was on! Corey was great with the status updates on the search. Casey Costello wrapped up the paper trail quickly and professionally. All of these gentlemen certainly made the buying experience enjoyable. More

Incredible to say the least...what a phenomenal experience! Greg...allow me this, I am now and always have been a straight shooter so I will not only tell you when there may be (future tense) a problem but more Greg...allow me this, I am now and always have been a straight shooter so I will not only tell you when there may be (future tense) a problem but moreover I will also let you know when your team goes far and above to make our personal buying experience one of the very best we have "ever" had. I found this vehicle on line and had already made my mind up that we would be driving down to the Fort to take her for a test drive. We spoke to "Tex" whom I have to say is one the most sincere and honest young men I have met in this arena of car sales gurus. Yes sir this young man did his homework and knew every square inch of the vehicle from front to back, spent quality time with us making us feel as though we were already part of the O'Daniel family...what an impressive young man! When I mentioned (wearing one of my g'zillion Notre Dame shirts he immediately introduced me to another phenomenal asset to your team in Dave Carroll. What an awesome guy and for certain we had lots to talk about, both being ND fans and ties to the school beyond just being a fan. Then it was off to see the young lady in F & I and what a sweetheart she was explaining absolutely every detail of our financing and extended warranties which we did take advantage of by the way. Mr. Greg O' Daniel; All in all Greg I can say that you are in very good hands with this team of not only professional people but more than that my wife and I actually feel like were family, seriously! I can't say enough about our experience and I will certainly be one of your biggest supporters with any of my family and friends that may be in need of your services. We are a very close family ourselves and my wife and I are blessed to have five children and seven grand children...so I completely understand and appreciate the term family...thank you for having such a wonderful program, staff and a phenomenal selection to choose from. We are deeply moved by character of your staff and look forward to a long term relationship! More

Great people - No pressure! My wife and I recently purchased a Jeep Rubicon from O'Daniel. Our salesman, Shawn, was very helpful in answering our questions. We test drove the veh My wife and I recently purchased a Jeep Rubicon from O'Daniel. Our salesman, Shawn, was very helpful in answering our questions. We test drove the vehicle. Then, he gave me his cell number in case I had any more questions. We returned the next day and another salesman assisted us with a second test drive but was not trying to make the sale though it was Shawn's day off. We returned the next morning and Shawn assisted us with the sale. I really appreciated the way that they all seemed to work together as a team. It was a smooth, efficient and FUN transaction! I would definitely recommend O'Daniel to a friend. - Tom F. More

Would recommend 100%! I was never pushed or forced into anything, I was made to feel 100% comfortable and it made my decision so much easier! As a woman and first time car I was never pushed or forced into anything, I was made to feel 100% comfortable and it made my decision so much easier! As a woman and first time car buyer I was nervous to do it on my own and intended to bring my husband later in the week for help, but Tex was so helpful I ended up coming in the next day and buying! He even went above and beyond to help me get my new Jeep Patriot home by helping deliver it himself! I would definitely recommend him and the dealership and when me or my husband eventually need a new car down the road I will return here. More

awesome customer service! We had been searching for a wrangler for quite sometime and had visited lots of different dealerships and had the same experience of buying a used car We had been searching for a wrangler for quite sometime and had visited lots of different dealerships and had the same experience of buying a used car. We would drive through the lot and get attacked by sales guys just trying to make a sale you could tell they didn't care about the customer by the way we were treated. Then we visited ODaniel and was greeted by Tex. Right off the bat we knew we wanted to buy a jeep from them. Tex was so friendly and showed us a jeep with everything we were looking for. His customer service was outstanding. He stayed with us every step of the way through the whole process! Also the financing process which usually is the worst part but we had a great experience she explained everything to us in complete detail and even taught us a few things about our credit that we didn't know! Tex also called a couple weeks later to see how things were going! I will definitely be recommending this dealership as well as Tex to all of my friends and family for future vehicle purchse. Thanks Tex for making our experience so great! Huge thumbs up from both of us! More

We had a great experience working with Josh "Tex" Burkhardt. He was very knowledgeable in regards to the vehicle we were inquiring about. We prefer to shop locally but are usually not able to f "Tex" Burkhardt. He was very knowledgeable in regards to the vehicle we were inquiring about. We prefer to shop locally but are usually not able to find the vehicle we want for the price we want to pay. We were actually on our way to purchase another Dodge Journey we had found online in Ohio when we stopped in to look at the Journey we eventually purchased from O'Daniel. Tex had the vehicle pulled inside and he gave a us a thorough "tour" while we sat in the vehicle. He explained each and every option and easily answered all of our questions.I am a realtor so I have experience in sales and I can honestly say we felt that Tex is a fantastic salesman. At no time did we feel we were being pressured or being given a load of bull. He has a very friendly personality and his knowledge about cars in general made us feel we could trust him. We had already decided that we were buying a Dodge Journey so the biggest issue was getting this vehicle to a price we could both agree on. Again, Tex did a great job working with us in getting the price we felt we had to have. We bought the Journey on Saturday and Tex was a part of the process til the end. He even entertained my 15 year old son by showing him some of the "cool" vehicles in the showroom while we waited on the financing process. (We already had our financing secured through my credit union at an interest rate of 2.5% but Tex convinced us to let the O'Daniel financing department try to beat the rate we had and they were able to get us a better rate of 1.8% so we did finance through O'Daniel as well) I drove my new Journey to work on Monday eve, as I also work in a group home for the mentally challenged part-time on third shift. When I was ready to leave in the morning, I realized the drivers side window had shattered. I called the police to file a report. They determined there was no evidence (footprints in the fresh snow or fingerprints in the frost on the car) to support vandalism so their report stated it was weather related. I called Tex and explained what had happened. He made some phone calls, then called me back and told me to bring the vehicle back to the lot and he would have it taken care of. They gave me a vehicle to drive, fixed my window and submitted the cost to Chrysler. Needless to say, I am a very satisfied customer of O'Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep for a long time to come. We will definitely call Tex when we are ready to trade this vehicle. (Which may be a long time because I love this Journey!!) More
