Welcome! My interest in the auto industry began in 2006 after starting my first job working / training as a professional Automotive Detailer. After nearly four years of sharpening my skills with detailing , I ended up in a great customer service position at CVS Health where I spent nearly eight years. In late 2019, I was in dire need of a reliable vehicle. For years, I'd heard nothing but positive things about O'Daniel, so naturally I came and purchased my vehicle. I was truly blown away with the "No pressure, relaxed" environment. I admired the customer service skills from all the employees at the store. I was getting in my new ride to head home when I got a knock on my window. The General Sales Manager recognized me from CVS and the rest is history! I'm happily married with two children + my dog Brutus. I couldn't be prouder to be a member of the O'Daniel family. Please come experience the difference with me & O'Daniel Automart / Mazda today!

We love our Mazdas! I have had mine since 2018 and my mom bought hers because she loved mine so much. Jeff was a pleasure to work with. Very professional, personable, ap I have had mine since 2018 and my mom bought hers because she loved mine so much. Jeff was a pleasure to work with. Very professional, personable, approachable, knew all the answers to our 1000 questions - was never annoyed with them once, AND WAS NOTTTT PUSHY!! There is nothing worse than a pushy sales person and he is 100% the complete opposite. He was very thorough in his explanations with every step. He gave us space when we needed it. He also helped get the most money out of our car we traded in. 10/10 would recommend a Mazda to ANYONE and Jeff to sell it to them. More

Luke is a phenomenal human being and a magnificent car salesman. His person centered approach makes you feel completely cared for and his exceptional knowledge about vehicles lets you know that you are in salesman. His person centered approach makes you feel completely cared for and his exceptional knowledge about vehicles lets you know that you are in good hands. He goes above and beyond at his job in making sure you feel comfortable. When I first arrived, one of the questions that I had about the vehicle was if there was rust on the underbelly of the suv. This amazing human instantly got on his hands and knees to take pictures of the car. He had no idea I had a central nervous system disability that would prevent me from checking for myself. Since I was at the dealership by myself, he offered to drive the car to my home for me! I can only speak highly of him. He is genuine and kind. Hopefully the powers that be give him a raise or promote him to manager soon. I have never had a better experience at a car dealership before. Highly recommend to all. More

I fell in love with it as I never felt any pressure on buying any car. He was friendly, helpful, kind and understanding. He found me my forever car. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. O’Daniels is where I will continue to buy my cars from. The process was easy and I left with a car the same day. Lauren O'Daniel was also amazing, sweet, kind, funny and informative. She spoke highly of her colleagues as of they were family. She answered all my questions and gave me some insight on her life. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. More

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would because that doesn't even come close to the exceptional service provided by Jeff, Lauren, and the rest of the staff at O'Daniel Mazda. From the second you wal doesn't even come close to the exceptional service provided by Jeff, Lauren, and the rest of the staff at O'Daniel Mazda. From the second you walk in you know you stepped foot at the right place. I was immediately greeted by Jeff, who went above & beyond every second of the process. He makes you feel at ease and there's truly no pressure at all, and you can feel that. After getting to know him, he makes you feel like an old friend versus strangers seconds ago. You can tell he truly enjoys his job and ensuring his customers only get the best experience possible, being very transparent and honest while professional at the same time! I would tell everyone I know to visit him for any car needs you may have because you'll never want to go anywhere else then! Lauren also helped make things a breeze with finalizing the purchase. She too, made you feel right at home and helped make it fun and never stressful. She also shared stories of her life and by the time I left she also felt like someone I had known before! Not only did they go through hoops for me, you can tell everyone there is passionate about what they do and where they work and it shows! Thank you again Jeff, Lauren and O'Daniel Mazda for getting me driving safely and in style! The only place you should go for a car! More
