Hello! I’m David O’Daniel, born and raised here in Fort Wayne. I attended Bishop Dwenger High School, Ivy Tech, and Hope College. I have actually worked here since I was a child. I started out cleaning drains and picking up trash. I have a strong passion for the car business, and the people at O’Daniel all share the same drive, and have a great amount of respect for others. I pride myself in honoring our family tradition that my Grandfather started, by putting our customers first. I am the 3rd generation in the car business it is a privilege to follow in the same steps my grandfather and my father took to get to where they are today. I’m looking forward to keeping our family business alive and well with holding myself to our high standards of ethics and accountability. In my free time I enjoy playing golf, being outdoors, going to the gym, and spending time with my friends and family.

Hunter spent more than a week working with me on the phone to iron out the entire deal. I did not want to shop up and be haggled. It was the fastest, easiest car buying proves I have ever been through. phone to iron out the entire deal. I did not want to shop up and be haggled. It was the fastest, easiest car buying proves I have ever been through. Hunter skill with youth proves that he has dedicated his life to leaning and being great at what he does. My paperwork was completed by one of the ODaniel Family members. I could tell I was in a very ethical business. I will be back. Jay Estelle More

Great dealership and they have a really nice selection of automobiles. We'll definitely be back and when we do Brett Paul is our guy. Over the past 15 years we as a family have bought 8 cars from Odaniels an automobiles. We'll definitely be back and when we do Brett Paul is our guy. Over the past 15 years we as a family have bought 8 cars from Odaniels and Brett Paul. Both our son and daughter have bought their first financed vehicles from Brett this month. Brett was fantastic throughout all of our purchases, but with our kids cars, Brett went over and above in his care before and after the sale. That speaks volumes of who Brett Paul is and why we will continue to come back to Brett and The Odaniels family of dealerships. More

This was the first car that my wife and I purchased and Hunter made it super easy. Not only did he help us into the ideal car for us, he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The car ha Hunter made it super easy. Not only did he help us into the ideal car for us, he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The car had a small dent on the side that he had taken care of with no extra cost. During that time, he was able to secure me a loaner vehicle from the lot so that I didn't have to miss any work. Easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and overall an incredible experience. After working with Hunter and David in the finance department, I was able to secure an incredible deal on a car that will last us many many years. I could not recommend working with Hunter and the O'Daniel CDJP team enough. I will definitely be back for my next vehicle and will be referring anyone I can their way. More

Years ago, O’Daniel did some bodywork for us after a collision. The interaction and service was so good that - years later when we needed to buy a new van - we decided to return. Plus, they appeared to collision. The interaction and service was so good that - years later when we needed to buy a new van - we decided to return. Plus, they appeared to be the only game in town with a worthwhile collection of used vans. Upon entering, we were sorprende to not be greeted. Car dealerships have the reputation of being quite the opposite. Turned out, everybody was busy helping others. When Brett Paul spotted us, he graciously offered his help. And he went to work for us finding a new van within the budget constraints we set. Without being the least bit pushy, he listened and accommodated our needs! He communicated regularly with us throughout the entire sales process. It was seamless and stress-free. Shout out to the entire team, including David O’Daniel, who filled out all the paperwork with us at the end of the process! We highly recommend working with the team at O’Daniel! More

I would like to thank Chuck Aden, in his professionalism with my wife looking at the Mercedes-Benz on your lot. The day she came up from Anderson, IN I was not able to come with her. Chuck was polite, knowl with my wife looking at the Mercedes-Benz on your lot. The day she came up from Anderson, IN I was not able to come with her. Chuck was polite, knowledgeable and most of all understanding to all her needs.. I was at work when she came to the dealership and before she left she called me to say "I want that car". The next day the loan was confirmed by my bank. I called Chuck advised that we could be back in Ft Wayne between 4p-5p that day. It was Chucks day off but, he made arrangements to come in to assist in the finalization of the purchase. Thank you again to Chuck and all the other staff that made this a smooth transaction.
