Hello, my name is Jacob Williams. I was born in Wabash, IN and have lived in Fort Wayne since 2019. I attended Southwood High School in Wabash and immediately went into the service for the United States Marine Corps. My family wanted to move back home and settle back into our roots. My previous companies were large corporations and I wanted to come join the O'Daniel family for the family environment. I am married to my beautiful wife, Katelyn and we have 1 daughter, Emmalynn. I also have 1 Cane Corso/Boxer, Dyna. I am part of the Marine Corps Association and Veterans of Foreign Wars. In my free time I enjoy anything that is a motorsport. My grandfather and I are reworking a restored 1954 international pickup and also turning a 1953 international pickup in to a hotrod farm truck. I pride myself in honor, my work ethic, and that I always seem to find a way and face the next challenge in life, whether it be in my career, family or just personal development.

What can I say other than this is the third Porsche I have bought from Ed at O’Daniels. That should speak volumes for the customer satisfaction that this dealership provides. I have been buying cars from have bought from Ed at O’Daniels. That should speak volumes for the customer satisfaction that this dealership provides. I have been buying cars from Ed for the last 3 years and he has become more of a friend than a salesperson. He is definitely the most knowledgeable salesman I have ever met! He has the knowledge to help you find the right car for your intended purpose! There wasn’t a question I asked he couldn’t answer. Everyone at this dealership treated me like a VIP customer and in fact it feels more like a family atmosphere than a business! The manager, James, spent 30 minutes with me to make sure all my questions and needs were addressed. I was very impressed that he took time out of his busy schedule and did that for me but to be honest Ed had already taken care of everything. I always enjoy my buying experience with Ed and I can’t wait to purchase my next car. More

This is the 5th car I have bought from ODaniels Porsche/Audi and the experience is better every time. They are not pushy trying to sell you extra services that you don’t need. My salesman was Ed Be Porsche/Audi and the experience is better every time. They are not pushy trying to sell you extra services that you don’t need. My salesman was Ed Bean and I have nothing but great things to say about him. He is knowledgeable about the cars he sells and definitely the most knowledgeable salesman I have ever encountered. He also likes to track his car which gives him the knowledge as to which model best fits your driving style. Since a good street car isn’t always the best track car. I can sincerely recommend Ed Bean and Odaniels. There’s a good reason I drive 100 miles to buy from Odaniels when I have an Audi dealership 5 miles from my house. More

Ed Bean! Man, what can I say… there’s a lot of car sales people out there, not many quite like Ed though. I’m not sure I have a “recent” vehicle purchase Man, what can I say… there’s a lot of car sales people out there, not many quite like Ed though. I’m not sure I have a “recent” vehicle purchase to actually review but this reminder keeps popping up so maybe I forgot or something but I guess that’s just the point. Ed defies all of the typical salesman garbage, he treats his people like family. Seriously love the experience he delivers and will continue to recommend him to everyone. You can be his people too! Cheers! More

Please AVOID THIS DEALERSHIP at all costs. DO NOT purchase a vehicle from Porsche Fort Wayne or any of the ODaniel automotive group dealerships. They are liars and misrepresent their products. DO NOT purchase a vehicle from Porsche Fort Wayne or any of the ODaniel automotive group dealerships. They are liars and misrepresent their products. They will PURPOSELY sell you a mechanically unsound vehicle and then cover it up. Do not conduct any business with Nathaniel Weaver (sales agent), Melissa Fiandt (sales manager), or have their service team/manager evaluate your vehicle (Jacob Williams). I was sold a preowned, one owner, lower mileage 2016 Cayenne GTS that had been reportedly completely inspected by their service team and was promised to be in perfect working condition. I flew from NY after confirming the mechanical and overall quality of the vehicle with the sales team. I was shown their pre-purchase inspection report. Everything looked ok from that standpoint. Shortly after leaving the dealership I noticed some shuddering and jerking of the vehicle as well as a grinding during lower speed maneuvers. After returning home, I immediately took the vehicle to my certified Porsche mechanic who confirmed the problem was a bad transfer case. On top of that he assured me that this problem was definitely detected and known at the time of sale after he reviewed the service logs. In addition, I asked my mechanic to discuss this mechanical problem with Jacob, the service manager at Porsche Fort Wayne, and Jacob refused to believe this was indeed the problem, and after the case was discussed further, he recommended a cover-up fix by "repairing" it with a non Porsche-recommended friction additive (and not replacing the malfunctioning transfer case). Suffice it to say that this dealership purposely sold me a faulty vehicle to maximize their profits. They are refusing to assist in the repair (I offered to pay for the labor of the repair if they would pay for a new transfer case). This common mechanical issue is well known to all Porsche mechanics and Porsche USA. Yet, they claim to have had no idea that they were selling damaged goods. Such an utter lie. To top it all off they told me that since I am a "successful business man" that I should be ok with this situation. Disgusting business practices. They are absolute thieves and cannot be trusted.
