Stopped in today to talk to Dave Barker. Honest reliable and fair prices. Will be back to continue buisness. Definatly get my recommendation for any type of SALE OR LEASE.

Sean Prockter

Todd was fantastic at helping us find the van that suited our needs. He was very personable and took concern for our needs. Highly recommend them!

Adriana Jacobs

I had an amazing experience purchasing a car from this location with the help of Jonathan Reid. The customer service at this branch is beyond outstanding! In terms of buying the car, it was a stress-free and positive experience! The car was beautifully cleaned, and the communication that I had with the staff exceeded my expectations both in person and online. I would recommend this branch to anyone buying or leasing a car! I am so appreciative for the staff at this branch!

DAVE WOOLGER

I bought a vehicle from Kyle in Sales. Super easy going guy, made the experience very seamless. I would recommend him every time!

Mitchell Fowler

Really accommodating staff and great service. Can’t ask for much more

Barrett Kyle

Recently purchased a truck at Driving Force Edmonton South. The experience was exceptional. Dealing with Kyle Mingo was first class. Great communication and the deal was done swifty. Highly recommended.

Roy Cowan

Started off a little bumpy but Todd and Courtney went out of there way and above and beyond to make buying there a pleasurable experience. I would return to buy from them again.

Todd Gillick

Dave Barker is a great person to deal with when looking for your next vehicle. He is very helpful and knowledgeable and a has a no pressure approach to guide you through the buying process. Patrick Wong is the financial services manager. He is a true professional when in comes to financing. I highly recommend Driving Force!

Nicole Bonnell Blommaert

we needed 2 cargo vans with very short notice (less than a week) for an outside drive-by wedding reception they helped us over the phone and online with no hassle! they also were the only company who had the vans we were looking for! and they were incredibly clean, both inside and out!

Jean Ortiz

I have had the pleasure of dealing with This company for the last few months and it has been a great experience. Especially in dealing whit Evan Kaluzniak. Very assertive, knowledgeable and easy to get along with making my day to day job tasks easy to tackle. Thanks you Evan and the Driving Force for choosing us to do business With you. I look forward to many more months/years to follow.

Patty Gay

Not sure about this business since I was denied a rental cuz I don't have a major credit card. It doesn't matter that I may have a lot of money, I don't dare say what I really want to say.

Emili Purvis

Service was ok.

Tie Conn

Helpful staff

Ajay Achuthan

I wasn't into getting the best price deal. Was keen on the quality of the car. DF gave us a 2014 Toyota Sequoia (a pleasant last minute surprise). Car came loaded, clean, well maintained and the check-in/check-out process was a breeze. Thanks for making our Tofino road trip an awesome experience. See you guys soon.

LINO NINGENZA

Beloved place to get you journal done on time I booked a trip to different places and theirs denied my rental car then i found Driving force haha

Craig Nicol

Well known as a commercial vehicle rental place, driving force is underrated as a consumer rental place

Troy Sturzenegger

Great rental and Sales group. Put customers first!

J J

If you're looking to rent a car, this is the best and cheapest place in Edmonton. After calling around to many different places in Edmonton and getting quotes on rentals, this place was by far the cheapest and even had better cars than anywhere else I called. We ended up getting a new Chrysler 300S for $45/day plus $12/day for full coverage insurance, as apposed to $95/day not including insurance for a simple dodge caravan from Enterprise car rentals. I will only deal with this company for car rentals, and will refer everyone that asks about renting a car!

Mitch Drader

I have never been more happier then going to the Southside driving force for our new vehicle. I got the chance to work with Todd personally. He made the transition into our new vehicle seamless. He listened to what we wanted, and made sure every one of our needs were met when buying. The service from Todd and all his staff is top knotch I would highly recommend that anyone in the market of a vehical go down to driving force. He also made a personal key chain for my wife with a picture of our kids. It really warmed our hearts and showed us what great people Todd and his team are. On top of the great service, we recieved a personal phone call from Todd himself asking how we were liking the car and making sure everything was still in proper working condition. I will no doubt be going back here the next time I need a vehical.

A.J. Schwarzen

I purchased a 2017 Ford Transit from Jon/Kyle at the south Edmonton location. The unit was in excellent condition upon delivery and the customer service was second to none. There were a few minor issues with the vehicle of which I brought to their attention shortly after the purchase. Jon and the entire DF team at that location went the extra mile to ensure that those issues were resolved in a timely manner and at no cost to me. They stand behind the vehicles they sell and they uphold a high level of integrity. Excellent job DF south Edmonton team! I will be highly recommending your outfit to friends and family. 10/10.

sanet jenkinson

Our experience with Driving Force was excellent. Todd Hines assisted us and from the initial phone call to the sale he answered all our questions and provided us with all necessary documentations for a smooth transaction. After sales follow-up was also good. Thank you!

PD's Creative Woodworks

I would highly recommend speaking with Todd Hines at the 34 Ave location in Edmonton. He was respectful, listened to my needs and worked hard to find a truck specific to my requirements at a price that's unbeatable by any of the other dealerships I looked at... and I looked at a lot! On top of this, the sales manager and finance department helped me work through unforeseen circumstances in a timely manner to get me rolling!

Mike Wheeler

Ive purchased two vehicles so far and rented from time to time from Driving Force. These guys understand the needs of business owners and take care of their customers. I'd recommend them to anyone in need of good quality service and even more so... after sale service. Top notch!

Celtic Ceilidh Dance

Great girl behind the desk initially but very misleading information regarding return times and costs. We were charged double what we were quoted.

Lincoln Mathura

My wife wanted to get the truck experience. Our next-door neighbour recommended us to Dan Clark at Driving Force. In all our prior 15+ years of vehicle searches and acquisitions, our experience with Dan surpassed all our expectations. She was able to share her likes, dislikes, needs, wants, and preferences for her truck-driving experience with Dan in the most congenial manner. We were shown several options for consideration with extra-ordinary efficiency and effectiveness. The end result.... Our budgetary targets were met, our timeline was fulfilled, and she now drives a quality truck. Many thanks for the tremendous service delivered by Dan. And me? Well... Happy wife!!!... Happy life!!!

Andrew

Usually I avoid dealerships - or salesmen/saleswomen in general - but the Southside Driving Force has completely changed my perception. Two years ago I started looking at trucks with in mind of purchasing one in the following year. I was immediately greeted with staff that in no way ever pressured me into purchasing one today but wanted to find me the perfect truck that would meet all my needs (towing RV Trailer / home renovations). With the help of Dave Barker narrowing my options, I had a good idea of the type of rig I wanted and the general price range. Dave understood I was not purchasing one now and occasionally sent me updates whenever a new truck was available at a good price. Two years later with no warning, I walked into Dave's office and he says "Hey Andrew, hows it going?". Amazing, that after two whole years Dave remembered who I was and the exact type of vehicle I was looking at. Coming on a few months of owning my newly acquired used truck has proven to meet my needs precisely without breaking the bank. Their Certified Used program provided me with the comfort that my vehicle is fully operational and will not break down while driving through Coquihalla Highway. To this day even after 35,000 km added the truck still runs beautifully. Usual sales people only see me as another number, a person who only means anything to them based on the most amount of commission they can get out of me. Driving Force has shown that the staff is willing to prolong a sale as long as my needs are met 100% - they don't believe in cutting corners or sacrifices. Southside Driving Force believe in customer satisfaction and I would highly recommend anyone looking at renting, buying, or just want some information to check them out. Did I mention that my vehicle was missing a user manual and even after Canada Post lost my replacement book, Dave was willing to hand deliver another copy. Truly, an amazing experience.

Theresa Toutant

Good place to rent. Very clean and fast service.

Natasha

they have great service, Evan in rentals is always friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone in rentals work their hardest and always have a great outcome.

Craig Selby

Great service

Dawn Johansen

Very nice staff good prices and the vehicle was immaculate!

Josh

Jordan Arsenault exemplifies a thoroughly high-level customer service experience. He was able to navigate my complex requirements for a new vehicle and deliver with perfection. If he consented, and it was legal, I'd be inclined to strap him to the roof and take him with me; perhaps he could convince one of my other family members to visit more than once every 5 years. Heck, maybe he could renegotiate the KXL deal with Biden? Heh. Jordan's straightforwardness and honesty is an unfamiliar phenomenon as it relates to the automotive industry, for me. Thanks again.

Ismail Attitalla

From the moment I walked into Driving Force, Dave was extremely helpful and worked diligently to meet our needs. We are very grateful for the support and have purchased 3 new shuttles in the past year (and growing) thanks to the excellent service from Dave. Also a big thank you for Shelley in the credit department for continuing the excellent support on the financials side. I highly recommend Driving Force for any transportation needs.

Thank you for helping me, Carrie.

Alanna deHaan

Conner, who did our walk around inpection was fantastic and very friendly. Car was in great condition, no issues what so ever. Will rent from Driving Force again!

Brett

Terri and the team know how to take care of their customers, regardless of the time or requirement. I've rented from them on multiple occasions; great service, quality vehicles and competitive pricing.

Mimma DeLilla

I had a great experience at Driving Force! Todd Hines was friendly, helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond and I have been recommending him to everyone!

Tony C

I don't own a minivan because I think it's uncool. But I needed one to drive my family out of town for a wedding. Driving force offers unlimited km, while other places didn't on a minivan. Also instead of a base model, I got a fully loaded Pacifica, with powerlift gate, power sliding door etc. I didn't have to cruise around in an uncool base model. highly recommend this place if your looking at renting a vehicle!

Rodger Adams

Had a very good experience working with this company. Kyle was easy to deal with for the purchase, and the delivery went well with Dave including them doing extra work on the vehicle after the deal was made. I would definitely buy from them again!

Jerry Ascher

We have always had top-notch service and help with this company. The staff is super helpful-especially Carrie. She has been so helpful in securing just the right vehicle to meet our needs, as well as giving us help in working out special return or pick-up times. Highly recommend this company!

Allan Mian

Very pleasant people to interact with. Courteous and flexible. Reliable company. If you are needing to rent a vehicle in Alberta, or North America in general, please consider them first compared to the other big car rental companies.

Shaun Comrie

I dealt with kyle in sales, he was very easy to deal with, although they didn't have a vehicle that fit my needs, I would highly recommend him.

C

Every dealership I've ever dealt with reflects a culture of lies, or at least "economical with the truth", so it was refreshing to experience an honest exchange with the one representative I dealt with at Driving Force (Jordon), who I would highly recommend.

Jessica Cox

Mike Collins did a superb job when we bought our tires! We ordered them Monday and they were in and installed by Thursday! Beyond impressed with his level of customer service!

Basem Elhayek

Would highly recommend doing business with Driving Force south. Had the pleasure of dealing with Kyle Mingo as my sales person and he made sure to go over and beyond to meet all my buying needs. Ashley at the front desk was awesome to deal with, very Organized and professional. The owner should be very proud of the team they have going for them! Keep up the good work!

Josh Bullock

Everyone at the driving force was extremely helpful and professional. I was able to conduct my business with Byron hassle free. Driving force was able to accommodate all my requests and I look forward to continuing doing business with Byron and the whole team at Driving Force South.

Nicola Malone

We needed a truck urgently as our service truck was off the road. Dave made the process seamless. From my first call, to delivery of the truck was 5 days. Post purchase service has been just as efficient. I would definitely recommend Driving Force for your truck needs.

john cowan

I got my 2011 sierra here a week ago, the vehicle is good quality and exactly as advertised, the staff were friendly amd helpful and fowwed up after the purchase to make sure i was satisfied, i feel i got a really great deal on it as well.

Jeremy Molas

If I could rate zero stars I would! I am a small business owner that needed a rental truck as my work truck broke down. I called driving force as my first option because I have seen guys on site with their rentals. I called and I was told by the associate that I need to have a company account with them in order to rent a pickup for a few days. I told them I did not have a account and the lady said if you have a company card with your business name and your name on it we can rent you one. I told her I don’t have a credit card with both names on it. The associate then said you can fill out a credit application and wait a day then get a rental. I told the associate I need it today to get to work tomorrow morning. All I got was I’m sorry but I cannot help you. I said ok I’ll give my money to one of your competitors. I called one of the competitors and I got a truck in 2 mins no questions asked, no company account or credit application need. At tomorrow’s safety meeting I will share how in my time of need, driving force shut the door in my face. Today was the first and last time I even consider dealing with this company!!

Colin Mather

Dave from Driving Force South Edmonton was a great salesman to work with, he found what I wanted and I couldn't be happier with my new truck. His service was exceptional; he sold Driving Force as a company and not once did he pressure the sale like often happens. Before I purchased the truck he MADE me take it home as a trial for a few nights, not just an hour or so. I am as impressed with truck, the services of Driving Force pre sale, post sale and the Dave. Recommend to all.

Mark Salacki

Dealt with Kyle in sales, very knowledgeable and easy going, highly recommend.

David O'Shaughnessy

Kyle Mingo in the sales department was a pleasure to deal with. Highly knowledge, he made looking for a new vehicle a breeze. He is the only car salesman I would ever recommend, and the only person I will be dealing with in the future.

mak chehayeb

Fair pricing. Vehicle was clean and in good shape. Reception and staff were professionals and friendly.

Ramona Soosay

I don't recommend Driving Force to anyone. My husband walked in there this morning, after a night shift in sweats. He was profiled immediately by the lady at the front. She told him he needs a major credit card, in which he responded with okay yes. She then says you need ID. Which he has. She was cold and unwelcoming, my husband walked out. She was very unprofessional. Thank you for helping another company take our business. I will make sure no one we know ever rents from you. That includes companies.

Lance Makutra

Dave was great to deal with .

Harry Harnoth

Kyle Mingo, went above and beyond expectations for me while purchasing a 2019 Ram 2500. Great service by all.

Jennifer Minicucci

Recently leased a vehicle through Driving Force and dealt with Jordan A. He was very attentive to my needs and flexible with my schedule and was able to get my exactly what I wanted. If you're looking for a vehicle either to lease or buy, reach out to Jordan.

John Pittet

My SUV of 14 yrs finally died. I was in need of a new ride so I called Dave he sent me to his web page asked me price range and what I was looking for. After picking a couple he called me back with one that just got reduced, had everything I wanted and at a great price. I have been in Real estate for 32 yrs always hated shopping for a ride Dave made it easy enjoyable. I would happy to refer him to my clients.

Natasha de Beer

Booked a car for my sister and brother-in-law who visited from New Zealand. This was at Driving Force location near Edmonton International Airport. Collecting the vehicle was sort of okay, but boy o' boy what a nightmare when the vehicle was returned. My brother-in-law asked if their shuttle can drop him off at his hotel, they just responded with a NO. Charges was taken from his debit card as well as my Dad's credit card (which is still not refunded). Don't rent from them, they treat you like a criminal and think they are doing you a favour.

Amy Berube

Absolutely fantastic customer service

Matthew Colq

purchased a truck off of Kyle in sales. I got a great deal, and the service was top notch. Highly reccomend!

keith mcisaac

very professional, no pressure,helpful in every way, will try to get you whatever you need. very pleased to have dealt with them.was locked in to another deal but they still went out of the way to try to help me out. If you ever need a vehicle, come here first before even thinking about going elsewhere

Russell Brook

Prompt service and found the vehicles we were looking for. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

Scott Jack

Theses guys are thieves and scammers! I was billed $350.00 for a traffic ticket and never got proof. I can't possibly have been doing anything bad enough for this charge.

Mike Stud

Not pushy. Awesome truxks!

Lance Larouche

Perfect customer serive

Louise Pisani

Driving Force is one of the best Teams I've ever had the pleasure of working with. They are well organized, come through with all their promises and do it all with a smile. Highly recommend seeing them. Evan is the best.

Jasmine Hunter

Don’t rent a car here. I called Monday to ask if I could book a rental under my name and add an additional driver at the counter. The lady on the phone said yes no problem. I went in Tuesday with my mom to pick up the rental. They ask me for my credit card and ID, which I provide. I ask to add my mother as an additional driver, they ask for her ID and credit card. She doesn’t have a credit card, which is why I booked it. She needed to drive the car while we had it. They refused to rent the car to us because she didn’t have a credit card. Why would you need two credit cards when I have prepaid for the rental online as well as provided one for the deposit? Absolute waste of time. Update: it has been a week now and I haven’t received my money back for this rental that I did NOT get. I’ve called and emailed and have not heard back from anyone. Please refund me.

Kristin Giovannetti

I rented a car from them and when i returned it they had the nerve to tell me the car smelled like weed. Im very insulted seeing that i dont even smoke cigarettes and i definitely do not smoke weed. It felt like a cash grab. I am so insulted i will never rent from them ever again.

Bob Gordon

Great people to work with, overall great experience.

Brooke Wilson

I work for a property mgmt company and need a truck rental every two weeks for lawn maintenance. I've used driving force 4 times and every time has been honestly terrible. The young woman at the front desk is so rude and belittling, and the process makes you feel like you're signing your life away. The online reservation worked 2/4 times and the final straw was when I tried to reserve online in the morning, then to go there later to find out there's no truck available and that even though a different truck was available I'd have to "wait for my online reservation to come through" which makes absolutely no sense. I went to uhaul instead and the experience was so much better. I'm going to need a truck rental probably about 10 more times this summer and even though uhaul is going to cost more I will continue to use them instead of driving force. My advice to others is definitely to use this place for rentals as a last resort. I will add however one positive thing and that is Joel who was a pleasure so thank you Joel for being kind.

J G

It took over an hour to get my vehicle ready even tho I had a reservation. But the vehicle itself was in good condition and the staff was friendly

City Spring & Axle Ltd

Great communication from Kyle, and a great deal! Very satisfied.

Miles Walton

We needed a truck for work but knew nothing about the leasing process. We had initially visited another leasing company but felt as though we were being talked 'at' and not 'to'. We then went to Driving Force and Jordan was great. He expanded on the small amount of knowledge we had and worked with us to get the vehicle we needed. We had a tight timeframe to get this done and Jordan coordinated it all within that time. He even personally delivered the truck to us!

bill annis

Driving Force was a pleasure to deal with a lot of my purchase was by phone if your looking at buying a a VEHICLE SOON I SUGGEST YOU talk to Kyle great guy thank you Driving Force for a great on my 2019 Canyon
