This is my first time ever using a broker to purchase or lease a car, and I can honestly say, I will never go through a dealer again! DriveWise was everything these reviews have said and more. I was playing with the idea of moving on from my hot hatch to something bigger since my family needed the space and I've always been interested in Jeeps. When I started to dig around, one thing that I was dreading, was reaching out to dealerships because we all know they don't stop pestering you with emails and phone calls. This led me to search for alternative methods in purchasing and it eventually led me to DriveWise. I saw their massive 5-star average on Yelp and Google and I instantly figured it was filled with fake reviews. I decided to reach out anyway. It was also extremely close to where I live, which was a big plus. It turns out that was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The next day I received an email from Abbe. She introduced herself and asked me for some quick points on what I was looking for so she can start her search. What kind of car am I looking for? What color? Purchase or Lease? Price points, and features I'm looking for, and if I have a car I would like to trade in. I gave her all this information and she was on the hunt right away. We scheduled some time so I can come in and have my trade-in assessed and that process was much smoother than expected. Once I have a car in my head, I try to find as much information on them as I can, so I understood the price for the Wrangler I wanted was pretty high and I was getting ready for some bad news. A few days later, Abbe called me and gave me news I wasn't expecting. She found the exact car I wanted, the same trim, and in one of the colors I wanted. Not just that, this trim level was even higher than the one I was originally asking for. And the great news? This was all well withing my budget and I had to pay nothing on a down payment since my trade-in would be enough! I was so excited and might have given Abbe the okay almost immediately. We scheduled a pick up/ drop off time that was convenient for me. The pick up was an extremely smooth process. Unfortunately Abbe was under the weather, but her backup was also very friendly and accommodating to my son and I. We drove off very happy that day. Fast forward to a few days later: My new Jeep was having some charging issues. I was super worried, especially since this was a brand new car and I never experienced issues like this before on a new car. Abbe, once again, came to the rescue and helped me schedule a pick-up with the dealership as well as secure a loaner car for the duration of the repair. Now my car is back, everything is running great, and even with the hiccups, this has been the best car buying/leasing experience ever! Thank you so much Abbe and team! Sorry for the late review! read more

I worked with Donny who was outstanding. He was quickly responsive and helped my get out of my old car (Tesla 3) and into a new car (Kia EV6) with ease and without any of the hassles of going to a dealer. They actually gave me a quote for my old care that was $1,500 higher than Carmax for my old Tesla. Donny provided clear info and gave me the best lease and purchase options across multiple vehicles, much better than what I was quoted from a dealer on my own and made buying a new care much less stressful. I highly recommend Donny and the team. read more

Abbe made my buying experience effortless! She found me an amazing car at an even more amazing price. Didn't know I could afford the car she found me. My family and I will call on Abbe again and again read more

Abbe is a magician!!! She managed to find the trim, exterior AND interior of our really amazing and new Honda prologue !! Not even that, managed to use our current car to somehow pay off my original car that was being financed and my wife ended up walking away with two new vehicles for each of us!! Ms Susan handed us our car and was very helpful as well. After my father in law was skeptical, he assured that we for sure got the most value for our buck Thanks again Abbe!!!!!! read more

The best of the best! I've been using DriveWise for years now and am always amazed at how wonderful they are! Abbe finds the most fantastic vehicles at the best prices and makes the entire experience fun, comprehensive, and stress free! Everything is handled on their end and the vehicle is delivered to your door and the old vehicle leaves with them (if trading)! The bow makes it feel even more special when it arrives! Bonus, they will donate $50 to the charity of your choice when you sign with them! Can't recommend them enough! read more

Absolutely amazing experience with Abbe! She answered my many questions and guided me through the whole process with all the information I needed and got me such an amazing deal! I am so thankful for all her hard work and she has a forever customer with me! I can't recommend her enough and I will always send people her way. Thank you to Cadence as well for her amazing help with the pick up process! She made everything smooth and easy! I am beyond happy and grateful for my whole experience from beginning to end with DriveWise Auto! read more

Abbe and DriveWise came to the rescue! incredible people work there and I highly highly recommend them when you are getting your next car. Just awesome!!! read more

I knew exactly the car that I wanted and I had gone to a dealership to see what kind of a deal they would give me. What they offered was ridiculously expensive. Then I went to Abbe at DriveWise and she got me the exact car, color and trim for the price that I had been looking for. She had it there within a week.The whole process was easy, hassle-free, and most important of all upfront and honest. She and Cadence actually made the process enjoyable (and we all know that's unheard of when buying a car). I would recommend this company to anyone in the market for a new car and will definitely go to them again when my lease is up. read more

Great service! They took care of everything and it only took a few minutes to sign papers. And they donate to charity! Definitely recommend if you're looking to lease or buy! read more

I found Drivewise on Yelp about 10 months ago when my daughter was looking for a car. I wanted her to go through a broker rather than deal with the headaches of a dealership, and I'm so glad she did. Alison found a car she liked and in her budget. She made the entire process so easy for her! Ten months later it was my turn to get a new car, and without hesitation, I reached out to Alison. She provided superb assistance in finding the perfect car for me without any of the wasted hours, or pressure you normally encounter at a dealership. My daughter and I both had amazing experiences! And as if it couldn't get any better, they make a donation to the charity of your choice. It's a win win! read more

This is my second experience working with Abbe and I will continue to be in her in the future. She's an exceptional communicator and very reliable at securing the best deal. Can't recommend her services enough. read more

I'd been putting off leasing a car because I dreaded dealing with dealerships. Sheila at DriveWise made the process as easy and friction-free as can be imagined. We discussed what I was looking for and my budget, and she came back with a selection of cars. She even set up the test drives. And when I made my decision, the car was delivered to my door. I'll be using them again when my lease expires in three years! read more

Abbe is simply the best. Super helpful from start to finish. Answered all my dumb questions and made the process super easy. Highly recommend! read more

Once in a great while, you come across a business that just "gets it." DriveWise is that kind of place. My wife and I were looking for an EV, and a neighbor had just worked with Abbe and Cadence at DriveWise. It was as painless a process as one could ever hope for - in fact, it was downright enjoyable. In a matter of days - not weeks! - Cadence personally delivered our new car to our house. These two women are exceptional at what they do. And we never even had to go to a dealership. These ladies did everything for us via phone calls, e-mails and texts. We have already told others about them, and we'll happily work with them again down the road when it's time for our next new car. DriveWise is a home run! read more

Alison is terrific. I was looking for a specific car to lease and she found what I was looking for within a day and had it delivered to my home. Seamless experience, highly recommend. read more

Absolutely amazing service and human beings. Grateful to be a customer! Thank you for always finding our family a great car at a reasonable price. read more

Adam at Drivewise made the process quick and easy. I knew he'd get me a good deal and fair terms without a lot of hassle or haggling on my end. Will use Drivewise again! read more

Our friends recommended DriveWise as auto brokers. This was our first experience with DriveWise Auto and it went absolutely perfectly. We worked with Alison C. to find our new electric vehicle SUV, and she was just great. She was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us and our questions. She secured a great deal for us that was well within in our budget, and the car had so many nice bells and whistles. Filling out forms was a breeze, and pickup/delivery of the vehicle was seamless. I would highly recommend DriveWise and Alison to anyone who does not like the process of car-buying. They did all the hard work for us, and we are very happy with the result. read more

Abbe was incredibly helpful. The car I wanted was a limited edition. I called 8 dealerships trying to find a 2025 Highlander and no one had it. She was able to get it for me and I never had to step foot on a lot. The whole process was so easy. I highly recommend her. read more

After hearing about how great Abbe is from two different friends, I decided to give car brokers a try. I have no regrets - especially when the dealership was being finicky and slightly incompetent, Abbe was super communicative and supportive and helped me get what I needed. Will be back in touch in three years after this new lease ends! Thanks Abbe! read more

I recently purchased a used car for my youngest child who will be driving very soon. I worked with Abbe who was professional, experienced and a joy to work with. Abbe and her team ensured the car was suitable, driveable, clean and most importantly safe. The car was reviewed to pass the California SMOG test and was reviewed by their mechanical team. I was provided with the mechanical review paperwork that detailed what was reviewed and inspected. DriveWise is a a terrific small business that matches people to a solid used car. Her team explained the process, and what I need to do with the state of California to be compliant with DMV. I had a great experience with DriveWise and with Abbe. DriveWise exceeded my expectations. read more

This was the best car buying experience I've ever had. No haggling, no endless hours sitting at the dealership. 2 short phone conversations, 5 minutes of paperwork and presto! The car is delivered. Alison was easy to work with and made buying a car an actual pleasure. Highly recommend!! read more

I can't say enough great things about DriveWise, and Alison Carr, who's now handled two car leases for me. She made the process so insanely easy... and fun. I reached out to her a couple of weeks ago to start the ball rolling on a new lease. I told her what I was looking for, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and we had a great conversation about the car and why I needed or wanted certain features, based on my commute and family etc. Alison was incredibly knowledgeable about all the different options for that make and model, and helped me select the specs I wanted. Within days, I had a new car. Not to mention, and this is maybe the best part, Alison also unloaded my previous car for me, which still had two months on its lease. Nothing was a hassle. Everything was a piece of cake. On the day my new car arrived, I booked a time with Susan, who works on site and walked me through all the paperwork I needed to review and sign. She also walked me through the ins and outs of the car's various systems. Before I knew it, I was driving home in my new car. Also, DriveWise doesn't charge any fees for the buyer or leaser. I'll always use them. read more

Working with **Sheila Soriano** at Drive Wise to get my new Mazda hybrid XC-50 was the best car-buying experience of my life. I had a lot of anxiety about the process, especially since I was upside down on my lease trade-in and had encountered so many predatory dealership salesmen. She handled everything from start to finish. Not only did she source the exact car and trim I wanted, but she also worked with my pre-approved loan from Premier Credit Union to maximize the negative equity on my trade-in. The Credit Union had already secured my GAP and warranty coverage without any of the hidden fees or extra costs that dealerships always try to tack on with advance planning. I never had to set foot back on any car lot and picked my new car up in the Drive Wise offices which is also where I dropped off my trade ins. During the signing process, she explained every document in a way I'd never heard before--simple and easy to understand. When I got home, I realized so many fees I've paid on previous car contracts were $0 this time because they had been waived. This was, by far, the most painless transaction ever. I highly recommend **Drive Wise**, especially if you're not a great negotiator and want to avoid those hidden fees. read more

Abbey and Cadence were so helpful. Abbey was available to answer all my questions whenever I called her and was really patient when I didn't understand something. And Cadence was just as patient when going over all the new gadgets of my new car. They made getting a new car easy. read more

Alison was amazing! From day 1, she was very responsive and answered all my questions. I have never had such an easy, flawless and effortless experience buying a car. Alison found us the perfect car and we love it! O need to say that I ll not step foot in a dealership ever again; but will reach out to Alison first! read more

We have used Abbe at Drive Wise multiple times to get new cars, and she has made our life so much better!! I always hated dealing with car shopping, and dealerships, and salespeople, and the haggling over price. Abbe and the folks at DriveWise make it so simple, and clean, and quick. You tell them what kind of car you're interested in, they find a bunch of cool options, and take care of everything. Could not recommend them more!! And I have in fact had my brother and a few friends start working with Drive Wise as well! They're great! read more

Another car, another review for Abbe. Everything I said before is still true. Abbe helped again, with great advice for which brands her customers are happiest with, where and how to get the best deal, financing questions, etc. etc. She replied quickly when I needed to act fast, she answered all questions patiently, she is deeply knowledgeable, and she is just plain fun to talk to. I am so happy to have her in my corner and will never buy a car without her! read more

First time car buyer here!!! Abbe was such a huge help. She made the process of buying a car stress free and easy. 100% would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a car. I felt truly taken care of. read more

Rick is very talented and knowledgeable broker who brings years of experience to help anyone who may be in the market for a new vehicle. He really went above and beyond by researching the types of vehicles I wanted, what my monthly budget looked like, and did all the math for me to help me make the right decision. He's also very personable, friendly and honest. It's always great when you meet someone that you can trust. If you are looking for a car and would like a broker to assist you, I highly recommend working with Rick. read more

A friend recommended Rick Brown at DriveWise after frustrations dealing with dealerships. Rick found the Lexus ES300H I was looking for - the exact model and color and beat the price of the dealerships I had been dealing with. Within 5 days I was driving my new car. read more

Can't say enough good things about Abbe. We live abroad and our daughter moved to Los Angeles as a new driver. Abbe worked closely with us in terms of our budget and our desired safety features for the car. She found us a great deal on a car that was right for our daughter. She was very patient answering all our questions during the process. I never once felt rushed and really felt she had our best interests at heart. She was recommended to us by friends who had used her, and we in turn would recommend her highly. read more

Hello fellow car shoppers. I met with Sheila (818-470-7410) and she was excellent. The wife wanted a specific interior on her Honda Passport Trailsport Elite. We could not locate one in Los Angeles, but Sheila found it in Northern California. She arranged for the delivery and her price beat dealers here by more than a thousand dollars!. Do yourself a favor and call Sheila to get a great deal and excellent service on your next car. read more

Wouldn't use them again. Just go in yourself probably would get a better deal. I put 4k down payments are not that low and the car doesn't even have tinted windows. And cannot be locked without the key. What I test drove was different so I guess I was confused by that. Now I really just want my lease to end. read more

My husband and I had a really great experience with Abbe! She helped us sell our old car & lease a new car all within a week. She was super quick to arrange everything including the car appraisal (someone came to our house to do this so it was very easy!), getting us quotes on the new lease, and delivering the car directly to our doorstep & signing paperwork on the spot. They handled everything and took a lot of the pressure off of us trying to buy a car during a very busy time in our lives. We could not recommend working with this team enough! read more

Why would anybody go into a dealership and buy a car that way when driveways makes it so much easier? my experience working with Abbe was so easy. It's really the only way to car shop these days. Maybe go into a dealer and see what you like. Drive a few models but then have drivewise get you the car. And look at the awesome bow they put on the car for me. Hundred percent would recommend. read more

Had a great experience working with Adam Slobin at DriveWise Auto! Very knowledgeable, diligent and professional. He exceeded my expectations and got me a great deal on my new Lexus. Would absolutely use DWA in the future! read more

At the recommendation of a trusted friend, I reached out to Abbe with DriveWise. It had been over a decade since I last dealt with a new car purchase/lease, so it was refreshing to speak and be helped by someone so knowledgable, patient, and available. The communication was consistent and easy. She gave me options, explaining the pros and cons to each. And I was able to get the car I wanted delivered in my driveway on Father's Day, which was the cherry on top of a wonderful experience. Highly recommend, especially love their connection to charity.

I just bought my first new car in 19 years, and it was easy, fast, and fun (!!) thanks to Abbe Murray-Cote at DriveWise Auto! A friend who had used Abbe suggested that instead of traipsing around town to test-drive potential new cars, I simply tell Abbe what I was looking for. Abbe responded quickly with possible choices, and after I narrowed it down, she found me the PERFECT car within a couple of days. The selected dealer brought the car to my house, and in half an hour it was mine! Abbe then sent her people to appraise and pick up our old car asap. Abbe was efficient, pleasant to deal with, thorough --- I can't say enough positive words about her! Next time you want to buy a car, contact Abbe Murray-Cote at DriveWise! Sharon B read more
