Working with Danny Velazquez was an absolute pleasure! Danny is extremely patient, I never felt pressured to make a decision, and most importantly, a professional - who knows the car business inside and out. The buying process of my car took about less than a week being me from Florida.The best part – Danny stayed in touch with me the entire time which only made the buying experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend you talk to Danny if you are considering buying a new or previously owned automobile.He also kept us well informed along the way about timing and next steps. It was a pleasure working with Danny and I would highly recommend him.Thanks Danny

Very courteous salesperson his name was Danny Velazquez he took me out for a test drive with a 2021 came in as Porsche. It is a wonderful car if you have the money I definitely recommend it and it was cheaper than I thought it would be at only $88,000 out the door which includes your first year of taxes is a great price he even said he would knock it down $1,500. I am still definitely considering it for my midlife crisis but I will tell you it is not for shopping the trunk front and back can hold maybe eight bags. But definitely a fun car to drive, again highly recommended.

I have been in the market for a Macan S and have struggled to find just the right car. I had made contact with Danny in sales and was I ever impressed. He found me a great car, sent videos and photos and was very responsive to my texts, calls and emails. If you are looking for a great car you need Danny to help find it for you. 5 Star treatment, much appreciated.

First, let me say, I love my car. I would have purchased it, no matter who was selling it. I bought an Audi q5, and it is a car that I have researched for over a year. I found this dealership online, and I reached out to the dealer about seeing the car. They were very easy to work with and once I saw the outside of the car in person, I loved it. The inside of the car... was basically trashed. Dirt everywhere, grime on the seatbelts and steering wheel, marker writing all over the back, grass stains, dull and scratched wood grain, etc. Also, the tire indicator light was on. Anthony Fulton, the salesman, assured me that the professional detailer would take care of all of the cleanliness, or lack thereof, on the following Tuesday, when I brought back a cashiers check. Tuesday came, and I sat for 4 hours, while they basically did a $12 Spinx car wash, that I could have done on my own. Then, the sales manager, Gerald, says that they are attempting to repair the tire: side note: accused me of running over a tiny nail-which I did not- the indicator light was on when I first climbed in the car for the test drive. By the time I got the car back, I was ready to be done with them. I feel like the car should have been cleaned up before I did the test drive, and I feel like Anthony lied to me about their ability to clean the car. Please be sure to check out the pictures. I had my detailer clean up the car, after the McDaniels Porsche Professional Detailer did their thing. Youll see a stark contrast in the before and after pictures. Additional side note: Anthony was attempting to advertise his real estate business to my friend, while selling me my car. I doubt Mr. McDaniels would be pleased with this kind of behavior in his dealership. To be honest, it appears that Gerald is running the entire dealership, and those working under him are highly incompetent. Again, I love my car, and I would have purchased it, regardless of who was selling it. I doubt I would recommend this dealership or any of its other locations.***photos are pictures of the car after McDaniels professional detailer had the car for 3 hours (labeled before), pictures of the car after I had the car detailed (labeled after). This is a visual representation of their version of professionally cleaned, and what professionally cleaned actually looks like. I feel like I was lied to, and they wasted several hours of my time.

We purchased a pre-owned BMW from Danny Velasquez. He was responsive from my initial inquiry. He promptly answered all my questions and even sent over additional photos. When we test drove the car, he took the time to thoroughly go over the car and answer even more questions. Danny delivered the car the next day to us and spent even more time. We have purchased many cars over the years and Danny made this by far the best buying experience. We would highly recommend him to anyone who may be in the market for a new or used car.

Recently purchased a pre-owned BMW from Danny Velasquez. He was prompt and polite in his response to my inquiry. He answered all my initial questions, and he sent over early pictures even before the car was ready for showroom presentation. We were able to come to an agreement without me even visiting the showroom. Upon arrival from Raleigh, Danny had everything ready for smooth and prompt vehicle delivery. Danny is extremely personable and knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who may be in the market for a vehicle in their inventory.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I drove over 2 hours to buy a truck from them. The salesman assured me that he had the keys and would not let the truck move before I saw it. I get here and all of a sudden the truck was sold at 9am... interesting considering I spoke to the salesman at almost 10.I would generally refer to this as a clown show but that would be disrespectful to clowns.Dont waste your time with these guys.

My experience for stopping buy and speaking with a salesman, Danny, was great he provided me with facts about the vehicles and made it a point to ask questions to see which vehicle suited me best. I was referred by a friend and it was a great experience. I highly recommend this location for purchase and Danny as the guy to ask for.

Great dealership and great deals! Danny is very professional and knows the answer to every question I had! He was extremely polite and helpful throughout my experience.

Ive been in Columbia for 13 years. Went to purchase some small parts when they were located on Two Notch. Nearly every time I went there was nobody at the parts counter. Had to wait or else leave without service. Had one repair done years ago and they did an ok job. All Porsche owners seem to take their cars to Docs Grrrage when needing work and thats what Ive been doing for the past 12 years. I decided to give McDaniels a chance lately as Ive got a defective cigarette lighter that I only use for charging my cell phones/navigation/etc. I called over a week ago and got voicemail in service dept. Left message of problem, what I was looking for, and left phone number. Three days passed. No return call. Called them back on Monday and spoke to service guy. Told him again what I needed and he said hed talk with a technician and get back to me. Its now Friday. No call back. Called again. Got a Sales Rep who said he didnt have time to talk as he was talking with a customer and trying to sell a $100K car. Complained, so he got his manager. Manager took my name/number/ and said the service guy was on his way back and hed have him call me. Go figure! I called Docs last week and they got back to me with an estimate in two days. I see all the great and happy reviews from people whove purchased Porsches. Im not surprised. Theyre great cars.....just when you need to have them serviced is when you see how great the dealer is! Good luck with McDaniels!!!! Youll probably need it.

I do not enjoy car shopping. I was really apprehensive when I arrived to view a vehicle at McDaniels Porsche. Within the first 10 minutes, that all changed. Rebeca Ortega was by far the best sales rep I have ever encountered, while purchasing a vehicle. Although the vehicle I purchased was not a Porsche, I received the same level of customer service, as those shopping for a Porsche. Rebeca was courteous, personable and very knowledgeable of the Audi I purchased. Ms Ortega followed up with me after the purchase, to ensure I was enjoying my vehicle. I fully intend to work with her for my next purchase! I would send my family and close friends to Rebeca without question!

This car buying experience could not have been easier. After finding a used car online and submitting a request to test drive it, I was contacted by Danny Velasquez at McDaniels Porsche. We set up a time to come in on a Saturday and were greeted warmly and promptly by Danny. After the test drive, we began to work on the details of the purchase. We let Danny know that we weren’t planning to buy the car that day and wanted time to think about the purchase. He stayed in touch with us all week end and responded to all of my text messages. When we decided on Monday that we would like to purchase the car but wanted to have it inspected first, Danny offered to have the car driven to our mechanic. The car passed inspection, and we bought it that day… just 3 days after we first saw the car. Danny, Chris and the rest of the staff at McDaniels Porsche are top notch and very courteous. Unlike our past car buying experiences, this was not a high stress purchase, and that’s a credit to Danny. He even had the owner’s manual and extra key hand delivered to our house later in the week, because they weren’t available at the time we purchased the vehicle. You couldn’t ask for better customer service. We will definitely be contacting Danny the next time we purchase new or used car.

Ive been searching for nice sports convertible for several months. But I had limitations as too how much I could spend. Everywhere I looked, I couldnt find anything in my price range. So I was just surfing the Web and took a chance on looking for a Porsche. Never thinking I would find an affordable Porsche. Well to my surprise, there it was! A ONE OWNER 1999 Porsche Boxster, with low, low miles, in great condition, at the price I wanted to pay! Called the dealership and got connected to Cody Cole. We setup a same day appointment and when I arrived, the car was just what I expected. Cody was professional, courteous, and friendly. Cody was honest and told me, I had to wait to give another possible buyer ahead of me the chance to purchase the car. Well he decided he did not want the car. The following day the car was mine! Excellent buying experience with McDaniels Porsche, and my sales person Cody Cole!

Very pleasant buying experience. I came in for a oil change and walked out with a new car by lunch. Cody and the rest of the team were very helpful and informative throughout the process. I was able to test drive and examine multiple cars which allowed me to make an informed decision on what my next car would be. I would definitely recommend McDaniels Porsche for the simple, no hassle buying experience.

The entire staff was great and made our buying experience pleasant. We brought our two kids who were a little rowdy but the staff were patient and understanding. We spent only a few hours there from start to finish: this was by far the quickest and easiest car-buying experience we have had compared to the previous 25 years and six different states! Not to mention we had a trade for which we received a fair value and got a great price on a new Cayenne. Special thanks to Cody and Gerald. We will recommend McDaniels and Porsche to everyone!

Danny Velasquez assisted me in my lease. Awesome dude, very knowledgeable of the brand and the vehicles. Straight forward and quick to get back with me during negotiations. Danny beat my local dealers pricing and drove the car from Columbia to Charleston, through the rain, to deliver it to me. I recommend asking for him.

I just purchased a used Toyota from Danny Velazquez at McDaniels Porsche last week. Although we are not Porsche budget customers, we were never treated otherwise. They were personable, kind, accommodating, and very easy to work with. Gerald was also great We had an awful experience that led us to buying a new vehicle and these guys made it so bearable. I am LOVING my new vehicle and thrilled with the entire process of driving up to look at it all the way up to finalizing the purchase!

My wife and I reached out to McDaniels Porsche at random. We were in the market for a gently owned Porsche Cayenne. Rebeca Ortega fielded the call and happened to be exactly what we were looking for. Beca was as professional as they come. This was our Fifth Porsche purchase so we were considered veterans of the brand and had high expectations from Both the sales process and the product. We were not disappointed. Although it was a 3 hour commute, it was worth it and my wife and I are happy with the experience Beca displayed and her outstanding professionalism.Thanks Beca!Best RegardsKen and Angela Lewis 2019

NOT GOOD PLACE TO BUY NEW CAR.i am happy with the car but unhappy with registration and handling, those people blaming their economy for being very rude and unprofessional,month after selling they didnt sent documents to DMV but they was lying and saying its sent but in reality they forgot,after multiple phone calls they maybe sent but DMV did not get it.When I spoke with Jacklin she was trying to wash me out of my insistence to get a photo copies and she raised her voice. Also they had so many discrepancies on listing, they was saying this is their own car but ended up by they traded from third party and it was one of reasons for registration delay.

I called in regarding a used vehicle they had listed. Communication was horrible from the start. After agreeing to pay tagged price, I was forwarded wire transfer information from the associate. I immediately went to the bank and transferred the money requested to listed account. After the money was withdrawn from my account, I forwarded the transfer receipt to the associate as requested. At this point I was assured the vehicle was locked in and all was correct. I called in the next day to confirm delivery of the vehicle. I was informed that they sold the vehicle that morning even after I processed the wire as requested. The sales associate was less than helpful and I asked to speak with his sales manager.After getting in contact with the manager, he stated that they do so many deals, things can get lost in the mix. I then found out that the associate gave me the incorrect account number where I transferred a large sum of money to and since they didnt have the money, they sold the vehicle. I have photo proof and even sent a copy of the wire receipt of the wire. I was told he would find me a replacement. I reached out to him every day for the last 6 days with no vehicles being presented to me and my messages being ignored.Apparently if you do not spend 200k on a vehicle, the dealership could care less about your experience.I purchase a new vehicle roughly once a year and this was by far the worst experience ive had in the auto industry.

Danny and the rest of the team at the dealership (Gerald and Brian) got me my dream car which was at their Charleston location, and had it brought up so I could test drive! (Danny called me the day it arrived and joked saying he was going to buy it haha) They all were so friendly and made this one of the easiest car buying purchases of my life.

I first saw the Macan in Consumer Reports January, 2015 issue. In March, 2015 my wife and I drove down just to check the vehicle out and immediately fell in love with the small SUV. We were introduced to Danny Velasquez and were amazed with his knowledge and candor. During the following fifteen months I paid two more visits, gathering information and examining the Porsche brand. Finally, after having contacted two other dealers and armed with prices and facts, I ventured back. I was given an outstanding price that no other representative offered. There was no haggling or argumentation: the general manager proffered a figure and I accepted on the spot. This is the best car buying experience Ive had since my first sports coupe in 1972--and the pleasantness is due to the outstanding young salesman named Danny Velasquez. It was only after I actually ordered my Turbo that I took one out for a test drive, and the little German tiger exceeded my wildest expectations.

Where do I start? Danny and Gerald are phenomenal! I originally stopped in to view a red classic BMW that was out front. Danny approached me, was able to answer all of my questions. He was very thorough. He never pressured me to buy or anything. A week later I drove by and noticed a VW Toureg 2 was on the lot. The truck was beautiful! I pulled over looked at it and figured Id return at a later date to test drive. I ended up running into to both Gerald and Danny at an event at thr museum. After inquiring about the truck Danny immediately asked Gerald could they work a deal! Gerald said, yes. Thats when I knew I had to work with them. I went in on Monday. Gerald remembered me. They both kept their word! I got the best deal. They cleaned the car. Gave me a new battery, serviced the truck and detailed it. My car is basically BRAND NEW! Im so thankful! If these two cant put you in a car, I dont know what to tell you! Professionalism at its finest! Great job guys!

By far the BEST car buying experience I have ever had...The Porsche McDaniels Team is awesome! Everyone from the Janitor to the General Manager, Gerald Sitton (my original car salesman but he has transcended to his rightful place as GM... He will always have my loyalty) displayed exceptional customer service! Speaking of EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE, Danny Velasquez went over and beyond to make my Panamera purchase as smooth as the drive of this car! Dannys honesty and straightforwardness was a breath of fresh air coming from a car salesman. Danny is definitely not your stereotypical fast talking car salesman...He was understanding, exhibited the utmost patience, and ensured I weighed all options before making my final decision. This is my 2nd purchase from Danny and will definitely not be my last!

They listened to any concerns I had, gave me a fantastic deal on both my trade in and the price of the vehicle I wanted and were very patient with me while I made my final decision. I would highly recommend Gerald and his staff - or anyone with the McDaniels Automotive Group if you are in the market for a new or pre-owned car. Superb customer service - I know where Ill be shopping when I need another vehicle.

I recently purchased my third Porsche through McDaniels Porsche. The first two 911 Carreras. This time a 2017 Cayenne GTS. What made this experience all the better is I arranged through the dealership for European Delivery of my Cayenne. Tracey McDaniels, Nancy Smith, and the ever present Mr. Gerald Sitton, the sales manager, worked very hard to make the purchase the of car and the European Delivery a memorable experience. After driving all over Germany, I dropped the car back at the factory in Leipzig. Then, and a little over a month, 33 days to be exact, I had my new car delivered to my office by McDaniels from South Carolina to my home state of Florida. The experience of seeing how Porsche makes their cars, and driving a similar factory owned Cayenne GTS on the test track with a race car driver/instructor was a great experience made even better by the folks at McDaniels Porsche. Will I be buying my 4th Porsche from McDaniels. I sure will.

Everyone at McDaniels were so helpful in my car buying experience. Usually, I don’t like buying a car because of dealerships, but at McDaniels, they made that experience easy and fun.

Danny was the most attentive, thorough and easy-going sales guy that weve ever experienced. We were attracted to a Panamera on the lot via McDaniels website, but shortly after viewing it we saw a cheaper Panamera on a different dealers website. When we called Danny initially to inquire about the Panamera and told him never-mind we see a cheaper one for sale he did not hassle us to push for a sale or for us to come in to see his more expensive car. He simply said to me Im sure there are plenty of Panameras that are cheaper than mine but these are the reasons why...... Once he explained what we should be looking for and how we need to get the most out of our money with the quality of of his Panamera, it made so much sense that we pretty much made a deal right over the phone. Once going into the dealership to test drive the car we meet several employees there and all were awesome! If you are looking to purchase a car here you have to see Danny! You will walk away informed and pleased with your purchase!

I have been in the car business myself for a little more than 20 years. I have never worked or shopped at a dealership that was as clean and professional. I was originally greeted on the phone by a new salesperson named Mike Cox and when I arrived at the dealership he was helping another customer so the General Manager Gerald Sitton jumped in and went on a test drive with me. Thats something I have never seen or experienced at any other dealership. After making my selection and signing all my paperwork. I was immediately introduce to another member oF the family named William who is the Porsche Service manager. He has been nothing but first class and respectful each time I had to bring my car in for maintenance. I was extremely grateful to have Mr Siton do the right thingand include a 30 day warranty with my purchase to give me some peace of mind. I cant say enough good things about the dealership or the service after the sale it is by far the best in Columbia, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Tampa. I love my new vehicle and cant wait to get it out on the highway and drop the top in my preowned 911. One things for sure it wont be my last. Its not very often you can inpress someone in your same line of work but I can promise you if given the chance they will provide you with the same out of the park service and sales experience.Bill Williamson

I would like to award a 5 Star review to Danny Velasquez (Brand Ambassador) and Gerald Sitton (General Sales Manager).The entire purchase process from start to finish could not have been better.Danny is a wonderful young man and extremely knowledgable about the vehicles. His sales style could not be better--very attentive but not pushy. Answers calls or electronic communications immediately. He was in touch regularly during the vehicle procurement procedure. He did a superb job of demonstrating the feature during the new vehicle delivery orientation. Danny could not possibly have done a better job.Gerald was equally delightful. Wonderful personality that clearly has been imprinted onto his employees. He is the key deal man. Very transparent and straightforward in his assessment of trade in vehicle value. Likewise the new vehicle final price was clearly presented, fair and had no hidden issues. I was completely satisfied with the deal and especially appreciated how rapidly the financial terms were finalized without that stereotypical new car bargaining process that approaches root canal-like annoyance levels. Gerald is the best sales manager I have ever worked with.In short, I could not recommend the team at McDaniels Poesche more highly. You will get financial terms there every bit as favorable as you would from the larger dealerships in CLT or ATL BUT with much better, local service. Do not even think about going out of town to buy a Porsche. Just head to Mr. McDaniels dealership and ask for Danny. You will meet Gerald in short order--and you could not be in better hands.
