Hi, I’m Jeff Bahnsen. I started my career detailing cars at 16 and later spent nearly eight years in customer service, building the foundation for how I work with people today. In 2019, I came to O’Daniel as a customer and was impressed by the no-pressure, relaxed environment—an experience that led me to join the team. I’m a proud husband and father of two, grateful to be part of the O’Daniel family, and I enjoy building long-term relationships while providing honest, dependable service. I’m here to help with any of your vehicle needs at O’Daniel Automart / Mazda.

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
