The absolute best! Nick Berg is your man for hunting in your exact parameters and giving his honest advice for the best car for YOU. Doesn’t upsell. Doesn’t make anything harder or more dramatic than it needs to be. We just bought our second drive direct car in two years (lots of teenagers in our house) and we made sure that Nick was the one to help us - THANK YOU!!!!
I bought several cars in my lifetime. However working with the crew here with Drive Direct, it was the smoothest and fastest car purchase I’ve ever had from a dealership. The salesman Johnny and the finance guy Todd were super helpful and knowledgeable and overall genuinely good guys. Highly recommend!
Had a really nice experience! I was nervous about finding a good car to drive but Kenny really helped me out! He was able to help me find some incredible options and explained to me every step of buying the car I chose in simple and understandable words. He made sure I was entirely comfortable through the whole process and even helped me replaced the wiper on the car that I bought! Great experience overall and I’m very happy with the service and the car that I bought!
I worked with Pierre and he was amazing!! I had been looking for a Volvo xc90 in Vapour Grey for a few months and finally found one at Drive Direct. I am located in Iowa and about 8 hours away from Columbus. I did everything over the phone and was able to get out the door numbers and clarify the payment method I would need to bring since I was working with my local bank. Pierre was able to help me out by taking the car to a local Volvo certified dealership so I was able to get it inspected before I flew in to purchase it. Everything checked out and I was able to book my flight to come out and purchase the car. I was glad they were able to arrange that to give me piece of mind since I was going to fly out and buy it without having seen it in person first. Pierre got me through his end of paperwork as quick as he could since he knew we had a long drive home. The only issue I had in the whole experience was the sales manager I worked with required another pull of my credit even though I came with a personal check from my bank account and had already had my credit pulled from my personal banking institution for the auto loan. He also seemed rather offended that I didn't want to purchase the extended warranty on the car even tho there is still some of the original warranty left since it is a 2024. I told him I wanted to compare rates and policies to make sure my local Volvo dealership (that I would be getting it serviced at) would take the extended warranty I got. Other than that little hiccup the overall experience was decent and I am pleased with my new car. AND Pierre got me a full tank of gas, (dealerships around me are stingy with that so that was a good touch)
Called about a truck, asked questions about their inspection and was assured vehicle was sound. Applied for financing with my bank (hard credit hit) to buy this and was prepared to take it home. Drove 1.5 of the 2 hours to get there and got a text that they noticed. “A few spots of rust.” Got there and the entire undercarriage, doors, hitch, all rusted and deteriorated. Mechanic looked at it and said, literally, RUN! 4 hours of my time and my ride’s time wasted, and $29 dollars of gas. To top it off, the second fx4 I wanted to look at, at a different dealer, sold in the time I was driving back. Very upset and disappointed. Nothing mentioned at all in the vehicle ‘s listing. This major damage should have been disclosed both in the listing and inquiry.
