    Donne was my salesman. I picked out one type of vehicle and was very set however he suggested I try a different vehicle in which I was extremely happy with and still am. When a person can match you up they know what they are doing!!! I am very happy and would come back again.

    I got a Chevy Malibu from your store in Bedford Ohio. The car was running fine. I had no complaints till out of nowhere the car died on me while I was on freeway. I had it towed to your shop and the next day was told I need a new engine. I just got it back yesterday and now the check engine light is on and the climate control is not working. I'm locked into this car for the next 4 years. This is not cool.

    My name is Andrew **. Me and my fiancee came in to JD Byrider service center in Florence Kentucky today at 8 am this morning and got our mounting brackets on our 2011 Dodge Caliber Mainstreet and the vehicle is running better. No rattling sound now but still an unsatisfied customer because of their wait time and the warranty on the vehicle and the store hours sign needs to be fixed. I couldn't even the hours of business so someone needs to fix that. Thank you.

    The mechanic said he fixed several things on my car but he didn't. It's overall too many things to name from my heating and AC system down to my brakes. The place is a rip off and unfortunately no one warned me. I never really write reviews but I had to this time. I'm really concerned about where my money is going as well because when I look at my receipt my balance looks as if I was never making payments!!!

    Update: if you were truly sorry when I took my car back everything would have been rectified! But it wasn't! My car is making this terrifying noise and it sounds like a deathtrap!!! I was told it's going to sound like that until I get matching tires??? Are you kidding me! All of my tires are the same exact size!!! And my heat still does not work!!! I live in the NEPA where it is freezing and my heat nor AC has worked since I had the vehicle!!! Everything is covered under warranty and I still hate bringing my car here! I rather pay out of pocket and take it to another mechanic to insure that the work will be done properly! So what does that tell you!

He advised me that it was not a obligation for them to have good customer service, and not to confuse “direct with rude.” The customer service department with the company is horrible!

    I had purchased a car approximately 2 years ago and was informed that when I had purchased the vehicle that there was a complete and thorough check made on the car. When the sale was completed, the sale representative, Adam, solely dedicated in making the sale versus selling a quality product. Immediately after purchasing the car, there has been continuous issues with the horn and the ignition. This is very unacceptable and no accommodation is provided when there is fault present.

    In November 2017 I purchased a Ford Fusion SEL V6 from JD BYRIDER here in Durham, NC. After I filled out the paperwork online received a call that they would offer $250 towards my down payment. When I arrived at the dealership I was informed that they knew nothing about my the company offering me $250 as part of my down payment. I finally got approved after being in the office from about 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM with them trying to get everything approved.

    Fast Forward they said the car had passed inspection and that everything was ok. Well 2 months into the car I had to get new brakes and rotors placed on the car because they were almost gone when they sold me the car which cost me almost $760.00 for parts and labor. When I called to see if they would repair and fix the problem they stated that it was not part of 36 month/36,000 mile warranty. And that for my inconvenience they would offer me $20 off my next service. Oh this is only after I reported them to the Better Business Bureau. And then I missed one payment and when I go to get in my car they came during the night and REPO’ED it.

    And when I call to speak to someone about it I was informed that I needed to call tomorrow because there is no one there that can help me and that I will need to send them papers to show their credit committee. This place is a joke. I missed work and they didn’t even let me get my son's car seat, or my personal belongings out of the car. And then when I went to get the belongings they had thrown them in a large black plastic bag.

    I purchased a vehicle over a year ago. From about a week after the purchase, repair after repair has been needed on my truck. About every 3 months (currently now 23 pgs total) I was having something repaired, which then began to be the exact same issues I'm currently experience. I experienced poor techs & service managers. My truck as of now has major engine issues, possible transmission issue & is currently not running. It has been almost 2 wks for someone to contact me back after I've sent several emails & I'm currently not receiving any help from them. I wouldn't recommend this Greenville location unless you're able to get the vehicle fully checked before making a purchase. Afterwards it'll be really hard to good quality customer service.

Went next day for paperwork and nothing was fixed on it, for the 3rd day they said it would be fixed. Again nothing was done. The way the wipers were I couldn't see the road very well.

I informed him it's in my father's name & I was unsure depends on trade value. I'd discuss it with my father. He then said they may require it for financing. I said well I doubt it will get traded in. We can keep it rather than lose money. Why do I want a new car I want something newer & good gas mileage & build my credit.... Go to speak to financing. I inform them of the same thing. Title isn't in my name. Depending on what they would give would depend on what my dad may say but I don't want it listed... So they process everything. David calls me back says it approved they can work with me but I'll need proof of income and my dad to sign the title over.

    I said, "I told yall that not a for sure thing and I didn't wanna trade it." He said they are requiring it. "So you're telling me I have to trade my car in order to get a car?" He said, "Yes we don't wanna be someone's second option... We work with those in need of a vehicle, You already have a vehicle we would be just your back up. So you'll have to in order to get a car." I said, "No thanks. Have a nice day..." In other words they only wanna do a deal if you're in a bind can ** you and rap you not if you actually have a car still. They want you to need them.

    I bought my car July 14, 2015 (2011 Chevy HHR), when I came in to do the paperwork, I was told that it would only be for 3 years. Come to find out this year, that it is 4 years now and they are charging me way more than the contract. I have asked multiple times how much my principal pay off is and they keep telling me that I am not paying interest and that it will be paid off next year. I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH IS LEFT WITHOUT INTEREST. I have never once missed a payment. My payments are set up for AutoPay. The documents they gave me say $13k for the car, but the amount they are telling me adds up to over $20k for the car. I have asked multiple people the principal balance and I am still being told $6000 is owed.

    If I pay $400 a month and I owed $6000 back in February, how in the world do I still owe the same exact amount in July? I will NEVER recommend them to any friends and family because they are not a place that stands by their word and not a reputable company.

    We were denied to pay the payment we agreed on. The payment was one day late and the dealership refused to take our payment and stated that we owed what was left on the down payment that we had split up into payments. The manager dismissed my husband when he tried to talk to him and told him we had a week to come up with 1025 dollars.

    I went J.D. Byrider in Tyler TX. I went in with a certain amount of money in my pocket for down payment. They said they could work with it. Then David starting asking questions about what I was driving and how was I getting around before coming there. Told him I had a car that was broke down. Never did I mention I wanted trade it. So we went thru all paperwork and financing and etc. And he tells me he needs the mileage and such off my car. I'm like I don't want to trade it in. I never told you I wanted to trade it in. He was very adamant that he had to have my old car to be able to do the truck. So I was like, "If I never told you I had a broken car at home you would be able to work with me?" He said, "Yes but you have a car so we have to have it."

    At that point my husband lost it and called them vultures and etc. Makes no sense to me. If you can work with someone without the trade but then you find out they have a broken car and now all of sudden you have to have it. Crazy business. So needless to say we told them no and left. Today I get letter of denial in mail. I had to laugh cause it was us that denied them!!! I now have a truck from elsewhere and my car is still here as well. Will never do business with J.D. Byrider and will suggest to others not to do business there either.

    In 2013, my son's mother and I were in a bit of a jam and her car was on the fritz of dying. We took it to J.D. Byrider where they appraised her car, allowed us to test drive THREE cars, two of which were the same car with a different color interior. We went through a whole car buying process, they appraised her car at $1100 and then told us that we needed an additional down payment of $1500, which looking back on it makes no sense because we didn’t even have bad credit. We just had no credit. But we wound up buying a Hyundai from them for 14k.

    Within 6 months of having this car we had more issues with it than we knew what to do with. The exhaust rusted out and it sounded like a little rice Mobile, we called them multiple times to set up an appointment to fix it, they had nothing available for months they said. Then the whole front suspension and joints all gave out. The cv axles, everything had to be replaced, they never fixed any of it. Kept telling us they’d call when they’d have an appointment available. Finally the car blew up. So when I called they informed me at that time that there was nothing they could do because we were out of the mileage warranty period. So I voluntarily had it repossessed.

    They’ve since sold the vehicle at auction for $500, which mind you they haven’t even credited towards my account. But I tried a few weeks ago to get a hold of them and see what I could do as far as a settlement with them to get it off of my credit because these crooks are STILL. Three years later saying that were missing payments. But magically they have no record of my account, they told me to call three different lawyers about it and they said that they would have it but none of them do. At this point I just want them to remove this from my credit and allow me to make a settlement but they won’t.

    LEARN CUSTOMER SERVICE! So I got a car from a place that everyone told me not to go to. I did because I was just super pressed to get a car. In within the first 6 months the transmission broke. Now I'm having transmission problems AGAIN... I Carfaxed the car. The transmission parts were recalled. Those parts were not replaced. I'm paying five times the amount of the car! So fast forward to today I was $50 short on my car note. I called and asked if I could pay them the $50 on the 31st. Either way you see it I had the extra $50... I just needed it for medicine because I'm sick.

    The only time I've ever been late on my car payment is when their system was down. So one would think that paying 5 days late one fourth of what the car payment is I wouldn't be having these issues. The first dude I talked to was extremely rude the second lady I spoke to had a full-on argument with me and overloaded me and was extremely disrespectful to the point I had the blackout. The third lady I spoke to was just as rude and had the nerve to tell me that they have no reason to say thank you to me for being a client for over a year because I needed them. They did not need me.

    I've dealt with customers for a really long time and there's things that you don't say!!! And telling someone paying over $10,000 / what the car is actually valued that YOU need them! When to be 100% honest I knew I should have gone elsewhere... I loved my salesperson. She was a dope Sista and I wanted her to get my commission over anybody else. Then have the nerve to tell me to refer people as if I AM THAT PHONY to put my peeps in debt with a Company that doesn't care about their clients!

    They got their money but even after that I was disrespected! Just know I will paying for my car until paid for but I will also share my experience with your staff. I do not want anyone I care for to waste their money with a place that thinks YOU NEED THEM MORE THAN THEY NEED YOU! Learn Basic Business. Respect Your Customers.

    This company is a scam. You will never get your payments down because of their high interest rates. They came and took our vehicle because we were 1 day late and did not give us any notice when they took it. They thrive on customers who are needing a vehicle. My advice to anyone is to stay away from J.D. Byrider at all cost. CNAC treats the customers with no respect. We paid this company anywhere from $400 to $600 a month for over 2 years and they said we only paid $5,000 and still owe almost $8,000 (because of their interest) till the 14 year old vehicle is paid. By the way they sold us an old vehicle for almost $13,000 because they saw a desperate customer walk in through their doors. As I say, "PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE AT ALL COST".

I start a new job in Florida in June. I made CNAC aware of my move because it comes with an 8k raise and I figured I would let them know, since I might have qualified for a better car. WRONG. They DECLINED me.

    I was told that had they not known that I was moving, I would've been approved. Essentially, had I LIED and said I intended to stay in Pittsburgh, I would've driven away in a new car. A stellar payment history makes no difference to this company. There is no reward for being a good customer. I tried to be loyal to the company that gave me a chance to buy a car.

    Hope you like expensive lemonade, because all J.D. Byrider has is a bunch of lemons. They suck you in to think you're getting a great deal on a used car but they leave out the underlined details. The vehicle they placed me in has had problems since week one. Everytime I take it to their mechanic they just repair the surface. Example I got an SUV, the hatchback wouldn't open, took it to JD Byrider, they finally figured out what was wrong, fixed it, I got the vehicle back, one of the mechanics broke the door handle on the driver's side, they did not bother to fix it. After a week the hatchback stopped working again. I also went to have the oil changed and found out the power steering fluid is leaking. When I reported that to them they said that it will be my responsibility to get fix it.

    So now I have a sub that I can't afford to repair and I have a high interest rate to where I can't even look to trade in. I have only had one issue with the financing, I had switched jobs and my paydays were set up different. When I explained that to one person they said that was fine and will work with me but then when I did go to pay I was told I was 7 days late on my payment and will need to make two payments in order to keep my vehicle or they will come and take the vehicle away. When I tried to explain the job switching situation again I was told I should begged and borrowed money from family. I did come up with the extra payment. Just not happy with my experience with JD Byrider.

    I recently bought a 2004 Nissan Maxima. I told them I could only afford $300.00/month. The salesman got the approval and a short time later the finance specialist came out and confirmed the deal, except that I would have to pay a 1200 deferred downpayment. I agreed and they sent me over to another room where a third person went over the contract and payment schedule. During this time (he) said I would have to pay bi-weekly and that the payments would reduce once the down was paid. At (no) point did he inform me of a change in the agreed upon monthly payment, and he did a GREAAAT job of distracting me from looking at the schedule... I purchased the car on under the pretense that it has a clean title, no accidents, had a 92 point inspection, vehicle was conditioned for and had a warranty.

    I found out three days later that it had been in a severe rear end accident and was pushed into another car. The value of the car in excellent condition is 7200 poor condition which this one was is, is 2100. Ultimately I came back in and confronted these scam artists and demanded they reduce value of the car to the actual value, reduce my payments, let me out of loan or I would file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency of Idaho. At first it was a no on everything. Then they realized I was video recording them and they let me out of deal. The moral of the story is had I done a simple google search of this business I could have had all the information to scare the DEVIL out of me/you... Don't buy from these con artists!!!

    I am a former customer and it was a horrible experience. Back in 2014 I finally got a good job after years of low paying jobs while I was attending college. As soon as I got the job a month in my car started overheating and the repair was more than the car was worth so I needed to purchase a car ASAP. I didn't have much of a down payment and my credit was so-so. I decided hey I will go to JD. At there cars come with warranties and it will build my credit. I had a car note. All my previous cars I got from buy here pay here and for what it's worth you would be better off going than that route than dealing with this company.

    I ended up getting a 2006 Chevy Cobalt remember this is 2014 and I had to pay $199 every 2 weeks for a 2006! I paid because hey I wanted to build my credit. The issues started about 3 months after having the car. I had to have a repair done it was minor paid the warranty deductible no issues I wasn't too mad. The issues with the car then became more and more frequent. Almost every two months the car was needed to be repaired and between the deductible and paying a car note it was getting out of hand. The last straw was when in May of 2016 the car need wheel bearing not covered, under warranty the check engine light was on and that issue wasn't covered under warranty either as I needed the car fixed in order to get to work and get my license plate sticker cause it was my birthday month. I spent over $400 which had my budget all messed up for the month.

    My payment was due the day I got the car out of their service department and I told them I would have to catch up on my note on my next pay. They decided to repo the car a day before I communicated with them I would pay took it right from my job. No other car company repossess a car when you've technically missed one payment. The car was a headache and way overpriced. I only decided to write a review to help someone not make the mistake I did. I ended up filing bankruptcy because I wasn't giving them another penny on a car I had already paid off twice. I now have a 2015 car and I'm paying the same amount I was for a car that was 7 years old when I bought it and had almost 90,000 miles. Don't take a chance on them.

    My fiance and I both have poor credit, but we needed a vehicle. We had heard about JD Byrider having a $0 down sale. We picked out a 2005 Chevy Malibu. We were so happy to be getting a car, we didn't think to compare KBB and sale price. We purchased the vehicle in 2016, with payments of $184 every for 4 years. We signed all the contract paperwork, but we're stupid not to really pay attention. Now, in 2018, it finally clicked. We could have gotten a brand new car for what we are paying for this used car. KBB lists the value of our car at between $2000 to $3000. Somehow, I doubt it would have been much higher in 2016. Yet, looking at our contract, I now see that they listed the purchase price at $12,895. That is actual purchase price, before adding all the interest.

    That is 4x the higher value based on KBB. And we are now stuck into this contract until 6/4/2020, paying $184 every 2 weeks. And if we are late with even one payment, they will repossess the car and we are out all the money we've already paid AND the car. So I say this... Don't be naive or stupid. Be prepared to walk away no matter how desperate you are. And check the purchase price of used vehicles to KBB or fair market values. I feel like they saw us coming a mile away and took full advantage of our desperation. We can't afford to be without a car due to my fiance's work and my many doctor appointments, and we don't want to screw up our credit even worse, or we would let them repossess it and look elsewhere. And there is no way we can trade it in at any other dealership for a different vehicle because the pay off cost is way too high that no bank or dealership is going to be willing to pay the pay off amount we still owe.

I then called back 7 times over the period of 2 months to get it fixed. I was able to make my payments because I was paying in advance. But the last time I couldnt. I ended calling back 4 times in 1 day. They stated they'd send me the contract in 5 days. I refused and asked to speak to a manager. He promised me a contract in 30 mins. I waited 4 hours then called back. Had the contract sent to me. Then it had the incorrect dates again. I called and spoke to the manager again. She swore she was looking at it and it was correct. I had to email her a screenshot of the contract to prove it was incorrect. Then finally had it fixed. This has been by far the worst experience I've ever had.

    J.D. Byrider would be ok company if they didn’t overcharge for their cars. They would be ok if they was straightforward about their cars. The Carfax I got has no water damaged or accident. But you can look at my car and see it has been sitting under water. They warrant only last up to 3500 miles instead of 3 years.

    I am buying car from J.D. Byrider. It is a 2008 Grand Prix. I has been in the shop constantly for issues. The car has broke down on me leaving me stranded several times. The guys in the mechanic shop are a joke, hell I know more about cars then they do. They half ** the work then tell you everything is fine. I have spent close $2000 on rentals and paid all my car payments. They don't care about their customers, they see you as a paycheck and nothing else. My car is in the shop for the 3rd time just for the transmission that no one seems to be able to fix.

    Then Mr. ** think he will be a nice guy and give us a loaner since we cannot afford another rental. The loaner is full of cockroaches!!! And they were alive until I bombed the car twice!!! The loaner's wipers barely worked. The check engine light was on. I wonder how they would feel if their wife was given something like that to drive!! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. RUN FROM THEM. YOU WILL ONLY GET SCREWED AND LEFT WITH NO VEHICLE AND EXPECTED TO CONTINUE PAYMENT!!

    First off, when I first called to make sure they actually go by your income to make sure you don't fail payments is A COMPLETE LIE. I drove an hour for them to tell me that they could not work with my income therefore I had to get a cosigner. Second, they told me that my payments were gonna be much more even with a cosigner with great credit and only gave me a choice between 3 cars. Third, the book value of the car is around 3,500 for a year 2005, I'll be paying 18,000 when finished paying. Fourth, it's so convenient that the so called warranty won't fix the problems I noticed while driving it home (they knew what needed to be fixed).

    And final that totally pissed me off, I called to try and work out my budget this for month as I am only having a rough patch until next month when my raise comes in and I totally understand they couldn't change the due date until the next day. But she was totally rude and talking over my voice and not listening. I then called back to ask if they could at least change the $39 insurance to be taken out the next day as it's not in my contract-- she totally got loud and rude with me saying I couldn't afford it and I'm not budgeting right, yelling over my voice as I was trying to explain things and then hung up on me as I got loud back. She is rude and has no type of customer service skills whatsoever. Don't go to Port Richey JD Byrider. They don't care about you. They just want to make money off of people trying to get by.

    I went to J.D. Byrider to build credit. I have never been late on payments, not insurance and I feel screwed. My car is now getting ready to go back in the shop now for the 11th time in one year for the same problem. They tell you it's fixed and it's not. My husband and I work swing shifts and it has become a nuisance finding time to drop it off and spend yet another week planning transportation. It was going back to the shop in Colerain once every month for the same problem for about 8 months until they admitted they couldn't fix it. Sent it to the one in Fairfield and now getting ready to go back for the 2nd time for the same problem (leaking and won't hold power steering fluid). I honestly feel like this company is a scam. They don't fix anything or try to find the root of the problem. Just bandage it up and pray the problem is solved. Straight crooks preying in the vulnerable.

    I have had my car with this company for over a year. The repair side is a complete joke. They have gone through some many people and at one point I had to listen to the service girl complain about her life and health before I could schedule an appointment. They had my car on the lot at one point and didn't start the repairs (which were their fault) until days after and then told me it was ready for pickup without the repairs being started. I have overlooked a lot and continued to make my payments. This time is like the straw the broke the camel's back. I made a payment with Stephanie the finance manager over the phone. She told me the payment was not processing even though on my end and the screenshot I sent her showed otherwise. Stephanie however was not the problem as she was great as always. The was some glitch in the system so I had to call my bank and have the payment reversed to process it again.

    The bank has not released the money in my acct as of yet but another payment rolled around and I made it without any questions asked. Here is the problem now. Their ''NEW" assistant general manager called me today and was very rude and abrasive. I had to ask her why she was yelling at me? VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. She wouldn't let me finish talking (and I told her so over the phone). I told her several times I could just make the payment on another card but she was so busy being a right fighter she didn't listen.

    I finally asked for someone/anyone else to speak with. She placed me on the phone with Khia who I made the payment with (my emergency fund) because she threatened me (the assistant general manager) several times that she had the repossession papers in hand and would pick my vehicle up. I asked her had she talked to Stephanie and did she know the background? I confirmed with Khia if she heard me on the speaker phone saying I would make the payment now and would just wait on my break and she confirmed she had. I asked for the general manager but of course he was off today as well as Stephanie. My payment was tech only 3 days late!!! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!

    I have never been so shaken in my life. I purchased a van from J.D. Byrider in August of 2017. By October the vehicle had started rattling and knocking. I was told to bring it in and it wouldn't even make it on the freeway to the dealership. It stopped leaving us stuck in the middle of the freeway having to push it to the nearest shoulder. I called them back and told them that it was completely stopped and they sent someone to pick up the vehicle (failing to mention that I had to pay the tow fee out of pocket until I picked it back up). I was told the next day that it was engine failure and I was put in a loaner (a small Pontiac G6 and I have 4 kids). I was told to pick up my vehicle after about 3 weeks. I spoke to two different people and no one told me about any fees until I came to pick up the vehicle. I was told that I had to pay the tow fee and a warranty deductible.

    Since I didn't have it, I was told that I could keep the loaner until the next day and speak to Latisha and she would be able to help me with the fees. I wasted time talking to the woman because she was rude as ever and kept telling me what I had signed and telling me that I had to pick up my van by 5 pm and return the loaner or I would be charged $25 per day since my van was ready. I was furious at the non disclosed fees and told her how much I was upset and told them their business practices were poor. I hung up because I was over on my break at work. Not 10 minutes later I get a harassing call from a rude woman in service saying that since I wanted to refuse the fees, they were picking up the loaner and charging me $25 a day. I got into a heated conversation and told them I did not refuse the fees, and simply stated that it was unfair to me to pay fees that were not mentioned at such a short notice!

    I ended up leaving work early losing money, borrowed the fee money and picked up my van. Once the van was started, it made a horrible screeching noise. I alerted the service dept and they were hesitant to come look at it... Their attitudes were horrible. They sent a man outside that sprinkled baby powder under the hood and sarcastically told us that baby powder works on engines and **. We left and sadly not 10 miles down the freeway from Warden Road we had a loud pop coming from the vehicle. We wondered why the person behind us was blowing and fishtailing signaling us to pull over... We started to lose speed causing the van to jerk violently and with another loud pop, we were engulfed in flames.

    We struggled to get 4 kids, my 22 year old sister and my fiance out of the burning vehicle with the youngest 2 being trapped in 5 point harness car seats. I have never been so scared in my life and almost lost my whole family with the "fixed "vehicle exploding into flames! Oh and I am 5 months pregnant and had to be taken to the hospital after this ordeal because I was contracting and almost went into early labor! I lost so much in my vehicle and don't even have 1 car seat for my children and honestly I'm scared to put them back in a vehicle! I have never been in such a bad situation and I would not recommend J.D. Byrider to ANYONE.

This past Friday unforeseen circumstance arised and I was unable to make the payment. I received a call from a man that was very verbally abusive to me. I asked him to take $500 on Nov. 10, but he said no and began the abuse, calling me names and degrading who I was as a person. J.D.

    I bought my car in April, it was what I could get with my current situation and that's fine. Within a week I went to start my car to go to work and it was dead. When I bought the car I went to test drive and the battery was dead and they assured me that it would be handled before I left and obviously it wasn't. On the day I bought it after leaving when I drove on a bad road I noticed a noise at the driver side front tire and it shook really bad. Called them and they said it needed to be realigned, took it to them and they did just that realigned and changed my battery.

    Now the part that I am actually upset about is the shaking has gotten worse even after they fixed the situation and I had a mechanic look at it. He told me the strut was leaking and it gets better. I also have an oil leak, transmission leak and oh yeah my radiator is bent. He told me the headlights are new and the reason is that the vehicle has been wrecked and there is even some crazy wiring from the headlights to the fuse box where it has obviously been by-passed. I specifically asked if the vehicle had been in any type of accident and I was assured that it hasn't been. So now I have to get all of this fixed and I feel like I was extremely misled. Not sure if they could make me happy at this point in any way. I do not feel safe in my own car.

The mirror from the Byrider car fell off within a week. They wanted me to pay $200 to replace it, the car was sold with bad breaks. They wanted me to pay for them, back windows don't work another $100. But wait they offer $10 recycled oil changes from poor mechanics lmfao.

    The list of issues is long. Just the fact that a customer who only came in to buy a car has dealt with these issues and treated so poorly says a lot. From first encounter I made them aware of issue. Service kept saying nothing was wrong. That happened 2-3 times. I finally got a hold of Chris the owner. He kept making it out to be nothing although he test drive it with me. They finally took to a transmission shop and clearly there was a problem. So they did fix that issue after they claim they have a checkpoint system. Clearly there is not because the car wouldn't have been in such a poor condition.

    Chris the owner gave me a hard time and finally have gave me a loaner car. I asked him if it was safe. He quoted "I has been serviced". Well the loaner car they cut off three times before I made it home to a 15 min drive. So that speaks to the service creditability. He then offers me my trade in back and all my payments. I decide to apply forgiveness under the conditions that the issues with car would be taken care of. However when I got the car back the old issues and new issues were present.

    I called service and they said it would be weeks before they could get me in. Chris says, "Thank you." I will win back satisfaction and he has yet to do that. Then the last straw is when I called in on Friday for a payment that was due that say to ASK if it was ok to pay $200 on that day and $100 on Monday. The rep from CNAC says let me check and I'll get back to you. I never heard back from anyone. But a task force team seemed like was following me Sunday night and took car and I was breathing fire!!!

    I called Chris and he hung up on me. I had to walk home and all he was concerned about Was his wife sleeping beside him at the time. His words. I calmed down a little and said, "Yes it's late. Wait till tomorrow." Expecting to hear from him. Which I did not. I finally called him a few days later and he says I'm aware of the situation. To make it a short version. We agreed he would return my trade in and payments on 9/19 but on 9/20 he sent an email totally disregarding the agreement he made and said he would not be returning the car.

    Each time I've dealt with company was unprofessional, lack of integrity. Greed and disapproval of consumer logical complaints and the list goes on. I think companies as such is a total disgrace nonhuman race. Where a company suppose to provides a product and a consumers pays them for it. This place gives car industry a bad Grade: F.

    Not only have the issues been resolved but Tom went above and beyond what he had to do in order to make sure I was happy. They did a great job.

    Original Review: Sept. 14, 2017

    I've been asked several times to submit a review on JDByrider's performance and my experiences, so here goes. Literally from the moment I walked in the door, zero effort was made to make my experience enjoyable in any way, in fact it seemed quite the opposite. I was told right up front by Marcus that I'd be out in an hour, it took 4 1/2. He would talk for a minute or two, then disappear for 20 min. At first he was quite friendly and upbeat, but in short order it seemed like I was the least important thing in his world, even a little irritated with me for some reason.

    There were several things wrong with the car, the AC and display were the most obvious and they said they'd fix it and that I had 60 days to bring it back into the shop and get it fixed. I work, a lot and their shop isn't open but from 9-6, but if you don't have your car in there by 430, they won't work on you as they are now cleaning up. So, really, 9-430. I work during those hours, so it was hard for me to get in. I brought the car in before the 60 day mark and Marcus tried denying me, blatantly lying to my face, saying that he "wouldn't give his own brother 60 days", and the copy of the contract that he kept didn't have the revision on it. My bad for not demanding they change the contract, but I didn't catch it. It'd been almost 5 hours, which I'm sure is why they do that, so they can slip little clever cons like this past you. Most dealerships do this though...

    7 days later, a coolant connector broke and the car started overheating. I pulled over, called TC (one of the managers with CNAC, JDByrider's "bank") he came and picked me up and had a tow truck come pick up my car. It was then fixed by the time I got off work Monday. This was awesome. I am quite happy with the service in this instance.

    One week later (not making this up) the radiator springs a leak and drains in between drives. Ok, not a huge deal, I just gotta keep coolant in it. A radiator isn't covered under warranty but as it was only two weeks in (and I kinda threw a mini fit over this, not freaking out but I was a little assertive in expressing my displeasure after the first response I got basically telling me tough **, not covered under warranty, sorry TC) TC and Tom agreed to change it free of charge. phew.

    The AC... I brought it in within the first couple days to have it fixed, which when I got it back the AC was blowing cold air. Then it went completely out again within 2 months. I brought it into another mechanic (which btw, gave me a whole laundry list of other ** wrong with the car which Tom, the manager of the service department, proceeded to systematically dispute and/or just tell me that it wasn't part of the warranty because it wasn't safety related basically) and told me that my AC wasn't leaking, even going so far as to show me something under the front passenger tire and basically saying, "See? That's your AC and there's no leak". Now I know that freon isn't going to leave residue but I know very little about cars, I'm no mechanic (which, btw, I should've brought it into one but I dind't have spare cash to put up for a run-down of the vehicle.

    I've since found a place that will inspect new cars for free, they're awesome! Big Priority Auto), but I didn't want to argue with him. A few weeks ago, surprise surprise, AC's starting to go out. I brought it back in to get my center console display installed, which they had to order and took some time but that went great, and I told Tom about it. He took a thermometer to my ac and tested it, it was blowing like 50* air or something, at that moment inside his shop.

    Now a few weeks later the AC is almost completely gone again and I really don't want to have to go and argue with Tom again about why he should just do his job and fix the damned AC instead of recharging a leaking and failed AC unit every 6-8 weeks like was stipulated, IN WRITING, before I bought the car. That's not fixing anything, that's putting a bandaid on the problem and spewing CFC's into the environment (you know, the stuff that ate the FREAKING OZONE LAYER!). REALLY not happy with that.

    Then there was my tire and CV axle... I started hearing some clicking a few weeks ago when I turned, so I figured it was CV axle. It got progressively worse fairly quickly, so I got it into the shop within about a week and a half of it starting (I was sure a CV wasn't going to be covered under warranty, but it was. Thank god). Apparently on top of the CV the wheel was about to come off. It had shorn some of the bolts off the hub and the hub needed to be replaced. I have not once touched the lug nuts on any of the tires, I haven't even removed the hub caps.

    Now, it's not impossible someone, somewhere loosened some of my lug nuts for some reason. I don't think that happened... I think whoever last changed the tire was in a hurry or got distracted or something and forgot a couple lugs or didn't tighten down enough, or something. I don't know. I'm not a mechanic and it doesn't really matter. I brought it in and within like 4 hours I had it back, running great. Completely paid for by them (the CV was under warranty but the bolts and hub weren't) and this decision was come to jointly by TC and Tom. I'm not happy that this happened obviously but it got fixed quickly and painlessly.

    One last problem, the vacuum hose on my car is in two pieces. It had electrical tape wrapping it, keeping the vacuum, but that failed (obviously) so I had to wrap it with duct tape as I couldn't afford the $90 hose. When I showed this to Tom he wasn't surprised at all and actually complimented me on my duct-tape wrap job. Said that's exactly what he does (though apparently he uses electrical tape so you can't see it on the black hose. I'll leave opinion out of this. All of this happened, exactly as I tell it. I've not embellished anything. For the most part, I'm not happy with JDByrider but it's been a mixed bag.

    They were nice at first. I been paying for almost 3 yrs. Never missed a payment. Then I take my car to be looked at. Awful funny they can never find nothing wrong. Because my warranty was getting ready to expire so I took it to somewhere else and it was my transmission. So I told them and they gave me quote of 23000 so I found somewhere for $950. Had to fix it myself cause the mechanic don't know what they were doing. I know I'll never buy another anything from JD Byrider. When you want help they are so rude.

    So I buy a 2011 Ford Fusion and 5 months later the transmission drops. So while I'm paying $482 a month now I had pay $340 to rent a car. Then after waiting a week for my car which they basically said fix the car or return and still be on the hook for the loan. Now after a week without my car which it broke down Tuesday said it be done Tuesday still haven't gotten my car back and it Thursday. Luckily it happened within their 25000 mile warranty. They offer no extended warranty even if I'm willing to pay for it but this is absolutely ridiculous. I $2000 down and instead of paying a car outright thought I'd get something that's already been checked and had a work up and would hopefully last a little while before anything needed major like this needed to be done like this now. If I don't get my car back today I'll have to get another rental car. JD Byrider clearly doesn't do proper checks on their vehicles so please be careful with them.

    I am very upset after purchasing a vehicle in which I paid way more than the value of to get my credit back on track and I'm appreciative of being able to get into a car but the warranty offered I believe is a joke and the statement they have good cars is fictitious. I have had door handle panels fall off after one day and have no brake lights or turn signals now just after 1 day.

    Also has an idle issue not sure but they fixed it after test drive for it to come back a day later. Of course they will fix under warranty for 36$ deductible but after calling all 3 local locations it can't be looked at until over three weeks later which interferes with driving as I don't want a ticket or to be rear ended for not having brake lights. Oh and if you get one with a sunroof be prepared to pay to fix that as they disable them at auction and JD Byrider will not enable them when you purchase it either and they don't tell you that until afterwards. Very disappointed in my experience. I'd really hate something serious to go wrong if something like taillights take over 3 wks just to get looked at.

I asked if there were exceptions to the promo. The answer was a very definitive no, not unless we had extremely unique situation or were looking at extremely over priced vehicle. After driving an hour to get there, and a long wait, we were told it would take $800 to get into a car. Heard 2 other customers told the same thing. Really?!

    I went to JD Byrider December 2016. I had been without a car for months and was catching the bus in the snow. My credit was poor and I had a repo on my credit. They stated they work with customers with bad credit to rebuild credit and to help them get a vehicle. They seemed so nice and helpful. I was sold a 2009 Kia Rio for close to $14000 which I was shocked at the cost. The first 5 payments or so I was on time. I was 6 days late on a $195 payment and they were threatening to repo. They contacted many people I had placed on my reference list. When they did call they explained I was late on my payments and told my private info. They removed the fuel box from under the hood so the car would not start and I was not made aware until they brought them back. The very next day after the payment is due they start calling at 9am and continue to call.

    I have had the vehicle less than 7 months and had to return it 3xs for repair. Twice for coil packs going out and once for the motor in the blower stopped working so I didn't have heat. I explained when I made the payment that I have been back and forth out of the hospital due to health problems and I have issues with my cell service so I am not intentionally ignoring them. But I still get the most unprofessional calls. I asked that when they call my references to not give details. She advised they are third party and when I provided those names I gave them permission to discussion personal info. Also I was not aware the shop was only open Mon-Fri and it can take weeks to get you in. 1 day late is bit much to start calling you and your contacts for a payment and threatening repo in less than a week. That is not helping customers. You can not trade in their vehicles because the interest rate is 24%. So you are stuck or eat a repo.

    I don't write reviews but this was such a horrendous experience I feel obligated to warn people to avoid this place at all costs. I created an account just for this purpose. My girlfriend had financed a car at this place. She let her son take the car on a cross country road trip for a couple weeks. While the kid was gone they checked the GPS on the car and assumed wrongly that the owner had left without paying. She was told by Dane that they had tried numerous times to contact her about the car being out of state. Only none of the numbers they had on file were contact numbers for her or her kid.

    Not only was there no phone contact but there wasn't any attempt to contact by email either. So the kid gets back into town, and not an hour later they come and repossess the car. The payment was six days late. All their stuff was still in the car so we went over there to get it all. 50.00 storage fee to get their stuff, and they mysteriously lost some expensive items too. They won't even allow her to make the payment to get her vehicle back. She has always been on time with her payments, but instead of working with her they would rather be **.

    They are absolutely the worst car dealership in town. It's a scam to prey on people who don't have good credit. They even bragged about screwing another customer over twice and were reselling that person's vehicle. DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE. Tell anyone you can to not buy here either because they are dirty rotten crooks. Snakes waiting to squeeze whatever they can out of you.

    I bought a car here and three days after I bought it 2004 Buick LaSabre I had to go to the shop and repair the gas line. Within three months I had to go to the shop again for a bad gas pump and two other times for engine service. After the engine service the check engine light came on. Even though some the repairs were covered by warranty the pain of having to go back and forth to the shop and paying for repairs not covered by warranty and the car payment too does not add up to a good experience and my friend and former coworker told me not to buy here. I should have listened to him.

    Now my credit's even more messed up because of crooks like JD Byrider. Honestly, I don't know how they been in business so long and how they are still in business. Hopefully future ratings will help them improve or go out of business. CNAC was another pain. High interest. Never again will I finance at the dealership's in house financing.

    Two weeks ago I went to the Fairfield, Ohio location of the J.D. Byrider stores. I had received a voucher for $500 off the retail price of a car, which would in the end equal to two car payments. The salesman (Dan) who had been assisting in the process of finding the perfect car was amazing. He explained everything to the best of his ability and he made sure I wouldn't get my hopes up by allowing me to be approved before showing me any car. Once I had been approved and decided on a car I went to the general manager to sign all the papers and he had acknowledged my $500 and had told me that it was applied to my payments. So I got the keys and before I drove away I made sure to tell Dan that we had already noticed a problem with the car. He was very helpful and told me to make an appointment with the service center.

    After going home and looking at all the paperwork we realized the $500 had NOT been applied to my payments. I had called multiple times to reach the general manager (who is the only person who can rewrite my payment plan) and I didn't get a call back. We also sent an email to him and he never acknowledged the money aspect of it but he did acknowledge the rest of the message. I had to take the car to the service center twice to fix the same problem that had started before I left the store and both times while waiting for it to be fixed me and a few of his employees had tried to reach him and no one was able to get ahold of him.

    Now the second trip I made to the service center they didn't have enough time to fix the problem so we had scheduled for the upcoming Sunday night I would drop the car off and it would be fixed and returned the following day. However I received a call the next day and they had told me they broke my windshield. So I wouldn't be able to get my car back until Tuesday (today). So after receiving that call, frustrated and angry, I called the main store demanding to talk to Kevin the general manager and the associate on the phone hung up on me.

    So in response I called the corporate office who then forwarded me back to the same man who had hung up on me and he had started screaming at me and making a total fool of himself. When I started to say this was horrible customer service he then said, "Here she goes again" and proceeded to hang up on me again. I've been with the company two weeks and am already regretting my decision to sign a contract. My windshield is being replaced and the salesman I was originally in contact with has been very helpful with getting that rewrite, however I am very unsatisfied with the horrible service.

All I do is go to work and come home and they have the nerve to tell me that I drove 100 thousand miles in a year and that I have to pay for the motor which I didn't find out until after 2 weeks after my car sat at their service dept.

    I talked to the manager once after calling every week maybe 2 times a week and my boyfriend also calling and one day he finally decides to get on the phone with me being very rude for absolutely no reason at all. I asked him since he works in the profession he works in do he think that it's possible to drive that many miles in a year and he replied "I don't know. You the one was driving." What type of unprofessional mess is that. He also said that he have spoken to me which was a complete lie and that he tried to work out a plan with me and that I just hung up on him which is another lie. What reason will I have to be rude to someone I don't know and never seen in my life. I am flabbergasted...

    I think this was rigged from the beginning. I think that the mileage that's in my paperwork was a complete lie and a set up just in case something like this happens. I have been told I got 126 thousand miles on the car. I have been told I have 153 thousand miles and it's bull and not fair. I think because I am so young and went there with no clue on cars they preyed on me and it's not fair to me as a struggling parent who works my butt off to provide for my family. It's just not fair and I plan on investigating this further with my lawyer.

    They were very helpful, they repaired everything that was wrong with the car right away. Their service dept is great. They take advantage of people in financial difficulty by more than doubling the book value of their cars. You find yourself in need of a car, then not being able to get bank financing, then having no choice but to take them up on their offer for purchasing a car from them. I recently found myself needing a car, because of issues with the car that I had. Due to a past job loss and vehicle repossession, I went to JD Byrider. I also am the primary caregiver for my mother so I needed a reliable car. They sold me a car at just over $10,000 dollars, this car had a Kelley Blue Book value of just under $5,000. More than doubling the price. Yes, I could have walked away, but with my responsibilities and my job requiring a car, I felt I had no choice.

    After owning the car for less than a year it needed to be fixed and repairs were several hundred dollars. After explaining that we did not have that kind of money for repairs since the car was only 7 months old the customer service department was of no assistance. Since we need the car to get to work and school as well as so pick up our school age children we had no choice but to get the car fixed. JD Byrider fixed the car but then was not willing to work with us on paying for the repairs.

    Now we have no car, no money and are being evicted because we made the car payment but could not make the repair payment and they were unwilling to let us pay on it monthly to stay mobile. This is not a good way to do business especially when you sold us a car that needed repairs in the first place. We will be seeking assistance from the attorney general of the state of Texas to get this mitigated so we can either get our money back or be able to make payments for the repairs and keep our car since we will be needing it to find a new home. As a young family with small children, you need to be more upfront about the condition of the cars that you sell.

    My wife and I purchased a car from JD Byrider after completing bankruptcy. We needed a 3rd row vehicle for our growing family. About 6 weeks after driving our car home, we began experiencing difficulties with the transmission. We took it in and it was confirmed that the transmission needed to be replaced. This was done at no cost to us, including a part that had to be overnighted to complete the transmission repair work. Nate at the service department went above and beyond by having our repaired vehicle delivered to our home, as my wife had an important medical appointment to keep which otherwise would have required a taxi to arrive in time. Frederick in sales has also been wonderful. When we sat down with him at the time this issue began he assured us that in the worst case scenario he would find us a different car. This is a dealership that takes care if its clients.

    Purchase car on 4/15/17 and still do not have my car. I have had to take the car back 3 different times to JD Byrider. Finally (after the 4th time), they let me take it to Nissan which will be an additional 5 to 6 days for the transmission. I can count on both hands how many days I have driven the car since purchasing it. I've been asking for the GM to call me back since the last week in April only to be told it's a chain of command they have to follow. I finally filed a complaint with their corporate office in Indiana and was advised that can take up to 5 days to review. All while I'm still without a car because the office in Orlando states they can't give me a loaner car or purchase me a rental while my car is being fixed.

So I been driving the car and the noise just got louder. So I took a look and there are no front brakes at all. Called them again about it. Now they're not as nice as they was the day I got the car. The women I made the deal with won't even say hello when she sees me and not once came and ask do I need any help.

    Anyway... I had someone look at the car and turns out I don't have no brakes on all 4 tires. So when I went back to them they saying I have to pay for the brakes because I'm over my warranty miles. I explained that I was within my mileage warranty when I came about the issue and was lied to saying that the back brakes were just recently done and that the noise was because I had new brakes in the back when the car has no brakes at all.
