Well that was a waste of excitement. Went online like the sales people asked and based off my wages and trade in I was pre approved. Well apparently they get to decide beyond the companies approval and because I door dash and do delivery services I was denied. I was told if it was only one it would be different but because I deliver for 4 different companies its not worth my money. Door dash alone I only make $12-$16 an hour and drove all over the place. Because of the miles I would be putting on the vehicle that is supposed to be mine. I actually get LESS miles this way because I accept higher paying jobs and drive less miles for more money. So....since I make $30 an hour juggling 4 apps and you assume its more miles which really isnt your business if its MY vehicle I am denied. I make almost $4000 a month. They didnt even bother looking at how much I really make nore my expenses nothing. Just instant denial. Miles on a vehicle youre selling to someone shouldnt matter and you shouldnt hold faith that youre going to have that vehicle again. That is not fair to anyone even those who dont do delivery services. The ones who work 2 hours from home or take business trips upstate or something.

Virginia was very helpful and patient with us. She let us ask a million questions and never once did her amazing spirit change. If I could recommend her to everyone I would. She will work with you and be honest and check in if any changes are made, she simply has outstanding customer service! VIRGINIA YOU ARE THE BEST .

Virginia was a very great salesman, she thoroughly explained everything that I needed to know. She was very kind, and very straight forward all details and everything that I was lost about. She helped me recognize how many people are needing cars, and how lucky I was to get mine so quick and easy. Thank you for everything that you helped me with, and thank you for being so understanding and patient with my questions and thoughts.

Took my car into the shop at Byrider with bucking and the AT light on. They had it for about a week. When i finally picked it up, they said it was only corrosion on my battery cables. Took it home for 1 day and it did it again and this time the check engine light and the AT (automatic transaxle) light came on and it will barely move. It had better be fixed correctly this time or the courts can fix it for me. I dont recommend EVER buying a car from them.

Byrider is amazing! My car repair was quick and the cost was affordable. Kim and Tim in the Service Department were extremely knowledgeable and professional. They explained everything that was done and went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. Travis made sure my problem was resolved quickly and efficiently. My entire experience with Byrider has been positive and I would not hesitate to purchase a vehicle from them again.

Review №25

Byrider associates were very courteous and fast. It was the best car buying experience I’ve had.Now as far as the GM.....he just called my integrity into question and called a liar. I pray for him, I’ll show him Gods love but I will NEVER do business with this man. I suggest nobody does as he acts like he wants to find solutions but instead he calls a decorated combat vet who’s integrity and honor are beyond reproach a liar. Oh and they basically by good reviews by offering a free oil change on the car you bought from them but only if you give them five stars.

By far the best experience buy a car. During this Covid period, a lot of things can be a hassle to take care of. This experience was not one of them. I want to give a huge shout out to Nigel who provided an amazing customer service experience. He had me in and out of there in no time at all. I definitely recommend this business, and make sure you ask for Nigel!!! Thanks again!!!

I went into Byrider with less than ideal circumstances and due to the dedication of Virginia and their whole team I was able to walk out with a vehicle. I love the personal atmosphere they have and how they were able to work with me. I would 100% recommend that you go and visit Virginia and Nigel for your next vehicle!

Seems like it’s regret after regret since purchasing. After all the mechanical issues I’ve had with my vehicle seems to have been handled, especially when the original location closed down and I was unable to bring things to their attention, the pandemic hit and boy oh boy! Some of us where out of work due to COVID and the account team basically said, “oh well”! And to top it off, when I was stricken with the virus and unable to work, I filed for the special paid leave I was granted and of course it took some time to process and the account team said, “screw that” and ended up wanting 2 payments for 1!!!!!

Ok I have pros and cons ... salesman was wonderful.. finance guy wonderful... My problem come after every single time you goto make a payment they try to charge you for the insurance when you already have full coverage and you have to continue to tell them every month that you have full coverage insurance. Then I checked my credit report at showing I have two loans with the same company instead of me owing 10600 it showing 21,000 and something. They took it off my credit report from Kentucky but then I lost points on my credit score I dont see how thats fair and its total b*******

Review №41

Theyre pretty awful. Bought a car and within a month needed a new transmission. They went back and forth on when it could get fixed. It took multiple trips to the shop to get it done. Youre also going to spend 13,000 for a 4,000 dollar car.

The people are friendly but that’s where it ends. Test drove a 2012 told them about the issues with it because it was far from perfect. First off the cars they sell don’t come with a 24 month service contract when you have to pay $ 995.00 for it. Then the price of the car was unrealistic. It was at least $ 4000.00 over bluebook. I figured after the high interest was added in I would be paying over $16,000 and over $400.00 a month for a 8 year old car with 120,000 miles on it. Then wanted to give me $200.00 for my car that runs and drives just fine. The whole experience was a joke. I think you would have to be a fool to take a deal like that.

Over priced cars!! Prey on people with bad credit!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE AND RUDE Service Manager!!! Virginia is a lie and all those positive reviews are fake!! Service department has incompetent mechanics...drove the car 3 minutes never looked at it and said it needed motor mounts never looked at it and I was told I had to but all the motor mounts my car requires they will replace the broken one and return the other parts then refund my money!!! Who does service like this? And they took too much out on a payment took 3 months to get the money returned

Review №71

Really easy to get a car. Impossible to get a good one though. Ive had my car for 3 months and the transmission started having problems. They cant fix it on the weekends for after 5 apparently and the garage is apparently full all the time. Terrible service!!!!!!So heres my update. I set up an appointment for Thursday and took off Friday. Apparently they didnt get it so I have to take another day off the next week. Guy looks at it for 20 minutes and concludes I need a new transmission. Well I wait over a week for it to come in just for the service manager to call and say he wants to look at it again. Its been over a month now so Ill continue to update until the issue is solved.Second update. So its been over a month now. Called today to see what time I should bring my car in to get it checked. They had no ideal what I was talking about .They said I was going to lose my car for a couple days but thats not at all what me and the service manager talked about. The stress this company has caused is getting to be too much. Yea theyll give you a car pretty easy but youre gonna have to ask yourself is it really worth it. Maybe try Instant Credit Auto Mart instead?

Review №82

Great people very friendly and helpful...however the following day after buying my 2011 ford fusion my check engine light turned on I was told it was something to do with the gas cap, no big deal the next issue arose when I had made a fairly lengthy drive and almost made it home and realized that something didnt smell right I got home popped the hood and smoke came rolling out from underneath. I took it up to the service area the next morning and was told it was next in line to be put up on the lift I had received no calls about the update of the issue so I decided to wait until the following day. I call up there to check and she tells me that he had ran somewhere and that it had still not been on the lift. At this point Im just worried that I bought a car that going to leave me stranded and it was my everyday driver and now Im missing work because of it...all of this happened before I even made my 3rd biweekly payment

I am absolutely discussed and sick. I went here thinking these people was going to help me. Got my car got on the road drove it less than an hr and the check engine light come on took it in said they fixed it left back on again. The car is not shifting right either. I do not recommend this place even if it’s your last option. When calling back I was told they couldn’t get me in until the 24th of this month 2 week???? I just bought this car today it should have been road ready or an exception should have been made. Are you kidding me! This place is a absolute joke

Robin is amazing! Incredible customer service! If youre looking for a car that doesnt need work, its probably not the place to go. But if you need a vehicle and are willing to take the risk on whether or not it may have issues, its definitely a place to hook you up for fairly cheap.
