Not transparent. Makes you feel good, trap and extract money Makes you feel good - Agreed upon a rate and took lease finance. I made the down payment, first monthly, signed the agreement, bought accessories wo Makes you feel good - Agreed upon a rate and took lease finance. I made the down payment, first monthly, signed the agreement, bought accessories worth $1200, took delivery of the car, paid the tax and registered the license. Courtesy followups for next few days. The Trap - After few days I received a letter from financing company saying my lease is not through and offered a higher rate!! All the while I believed everything was done. After already spending so much money I am left with no choice. Extracting Money - I had to resign lease agreement for higher rate. Told someone will call me to offer free oil change and free service to cover the additional cost. So far no one called. More

Couldn't have asked for better people! My daughter had totaled my vehicle (our ONLY vehicle that both of us depended on to get to work) and we needed a good, dependable car at a good price My daughter had totaled my vehicle (our ONLY vehicle that both of us depended on to get to work) and we needed a good, dependable car at a good price immediately! The WONDERFUL group at O'Daniels went above and beyond to help me out and get me into a vehicle. I cannot express my gratitude enough to them all! I never thought, in a million years, that I would say this about any salesperson but...if salesmen had wings it would be my "angels" at O'Daniel!! More

Thank you! I can’t say enough about how wonderful the staff at O’Daniel was. This was my first time purchasing a car through a dealership and I truly felt like y I can’t say enough about how wonderful the staff at O’Daniel was. This was my first time purchasing a car through a dealership and I truly felt like you all cared and didn’t push me into anything. My salesman Russ was wonderful, friendly, not pushy and most importantly, honest.From Russ to Ryan in the Finance dept., each person was so kind and easy to work with. There is no doubt in my mind, that I would recommend you to anyone in search of a car. More

Don't waste your time!!! We went in with the payoff for our vehicle. Our own financing. We also knew what the car we were buying was selling for. The salesman knew very little We went in with the payoff for our vehicle. Our own financing. We also knew what the car we were buying was selling for. The salesman knew very little about the car we wanted. When it was time to "wheel and deal", he wouldn't negotiate at all. Like my husband said, " it was like we were at a buy here pay here place". By the way... Don't complain. The used car manager Nick has very little customer service skills! Will never buy from anyone that is just down right mean! More

We spent several months online shopping, s My wife and I recently found out that we are expecting twins. Naturally, we began our search for a minivan. We spent several months online shopping, so that we could be very informed buyers. Between the two of us, we looked at thousands of vehicles over that time span and even took a few for test drives. It just so happened that we we both found a Chrysler Town and Country we liked at Odaniel Mazda. I decided to go take a look in person. She, on the other hand, was emailing back and forth with Russ Stanski from the sales team. They were extremely helpful to both of us. With their guidance, they helped us figure out that we were both inquiring about the same vehicle. They were very kind, informed, and offered little pressure. Finally we decided to purchase. They made that just as easy by working with us on the price and finding a bank in Maryland that would finance for a low rate. We've had the vehicle for a month now, and we couldn't be more thrilled. Without a doubt, Russ and the rest of the people on the Odaniel Mazda team will be the first people I contact when it's time for me to upgrade vehicles, of course something with a third row to accolade our growing family:) More
