General Manager
Integrity Matters. Helping people matters, too.
Buying a car is a huge move for people. They need a helpful partner-not a shark tank full of used car salespeople!
DriveTime is that partner, helping folks with less-than-perfect credit get the ideal vehicle for their unique needs-with a payment plan they can handle. You won't find secrets and games here.
We let our customers know what's happening every step of the way. It's called being transparent and it's the only way we'll do business. It's also why our employees feel so good about the work they do. And since the loans we write use only our own funds, we can provide financing to people when everyone else turned them away.
Success matters.
We're already the largest chain of privately owned financing dealerships in the country, with 78 stores and plans to expand by almost 15% in 2010. If you're looking for bigger, better opportunities with a rapidly growing company, this is it!
Everybody wins.
Our customers get the transportation they need and the chance to rebuild their credit.
Our employees enjoy big money and perks, and a high quality of life.
DriveTime's business was way up in 2009, and the future looks even brighter.
Connect the dots: this is a GREAT time to get on board!
