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.

I was referred to Luis by Eduardo Reyes a long time friend of mine from when I was working for Odaniel. Luis was significantly helpful in making sure we had the best deal possible. I also dealt with Jo friend of mine from when I was working for Odaniel. Luis was significantly helpful in making sure we had the best deal possible. I also dealt with Josh (Finance) and Pat Garrett (Sales Manager) who are very awesome to work with. I would 100% recommend Odaniel for my 4th car purchase. The 2025 Altima make the second one I bought from O'Daniel and am thoroughly satisfied. More

From the moment I walked in, Hunter made me feel like more than just another customer. He genuinely took the time to listen to what I wanted, understand what was important to me, and make sure I found a more than just another customer. He genuinely took the time to listen to what I wanted, understand what was important to me, and make sure I found a vehicle that was truly right for me. What impressed me most was how knowledgeable and patient he was. He didn’t just sell me a car, he educated me throughout the entire process and made sure I understood every feature, option, and detail so I could make a decision I felt confident about. I never once felt pressured, rushed, or like I was simply another sale. He answered every question, took the time to explain things in a way that actually made sense, and went above and beyond to make the entire experience exciting instead of stressful. His genuine care and attention to detail truly stood out. I walked away with a vehicle I absolutely love and, more importantly, an experience that I’ll genuinely remember. If you’re looking for a salesperson who will treat you like a person rather than a paycheck, educate you instead of pressure you, and go the extra mile to make sure you leave happy, ask for him. I would recommend him to my family, friends, and anyone I know looking for a vehicle. Five stars doesn’t quite capture the level of service he provided! More
