I had a great experience at DriveTime in Bakersfield and can’t thank Elliot and Fred enough for all their help. They were both professional, patient, and worked incredibly hard to make sure everything went smoothly with my purchase. I really felt like they went the extra mile to get me into the right car without any of the usual dealership stress. If you’re heading here, definitely ask for them they’ll take care of you!
