J.D. Byrider
Reviews and Complaints

Haha you must be on crack

You have got to be kidding. You must either work for JD Byrider or they paid you to place this comment. That whole entire company is a joke. I have written a letter to the Attorney General about there practices and will go further if I have to.

You can't complain about your own stupidity. If you actually read the terms at the top of the reference list, it specifically says "Further, I/we give my/our consent to J.D. Byrider to solicit the persons listed below for the purpose of soliciting vehicle sales. This authority shall expire when the account is paid in full." You signed a contract that says you give them permission to do this. And my experience with them has been great. And they are not giving you just some car. You get a car that has passed a 150 point inspection, comes with a 3-year 36000 mile warrant, and reduced price servicing at their location, which have never had to use in the past two years I've had my car I bought from them.

Same thing happened to us. Fill this out with references. 2 days later we are getting phone calls from people we put as references. they said they got a call from our salesman telling them we just bought a van and should come down and get a great deal too. I called the salesman and explained we did not agree to a referral list and stop calling people on the reference list. of course a week later, I find out he is still calling and it is making some issues with friends and family! I spoke to someone else and they said it would stop. We will see? I wish we never bought this van. I think we make a huge mistake. But my husband says we needed a warranty...

While he was in the military, did they adjust his interest rate? If not then I would be looking into that could save you some money...

Where was this at?

I totally agree. Same thing they told me but, the car has to be payed down to 1500.00 before they will even attempt to trade.

@ GUY WITH GOOD CREDIT I DO WORK AND I HAVE 2 JOBS BUT I NEEDED A CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK UNTIL MY DIVORCE WAS FINAL AND THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT WOULD LET ME BUY ONE UNTIL MY ASSETS WERE RELEASED AFTER THE DIVORCE. SO YOU NEED TO STOP BEING A ###! And they are a horrible company i started with a 2 year pay off date that has turned into a 3 year one over nite and i have never missed nor ever been late with any payment. So stop with the mean remarks. You may have good credit but it sure doesn't appear to me as if you have good sense you idiot.

I guess you're saying that because my husband was away serving the country in Afghanistan and I was naive about buying my first car alone that I deserved to get ripped off by JD Byrider?
@GUY WITH GOOD CREDIT
You don't know what you're talking about obviously because not everyone who goes to JD Byriders does it because they have horrible credit and don't work and sit on their butts all day eating bon bons. But no, actually I was able to refinance for 10% interest from Navy Federal Credit Union opposed to JD Byrider's 21%.
Unfortunately I was young and stupid and knew nothing about interest and that a 2005 Chrysler Sebring did not cost $18000 (with interest.) That's highway robbery I don't care who you are or how great your credit is.
The only blame we have is on ourselves for being eager to get a car and stupid for not actually listening to the facts and the contract because they know they're going to walk away with their car when it's over. So to a certain extent the consumers are to blame, but nobody can deny these sub-prime mortgage lenders like you are doing absolutely nothing to repair anyone's credit!
You go into it knowing you're going to rip us off, and we go in there knowing we're getting ripped off (usually afterwards!)
However that doesn't make it ethical. These people have bad credit history, so you give them a huge payment to make not once a month but every two weeks? You already know they're not going to be on time every time! All companies have at least a day or two of a grace period. You just want them to hurry up and default already so you can further ruin their credit and auction off the car and sell it some other unsuspecting soul. Sick.
And the sickest part is we're allowing it to happen. We all need to be responsible and look out for ourselves these days.
You look around at places like this and wonder what happened to integrity.
If they wanted to help people with bad credit they wouldn't be selling them cars for double what they're worth with interest. That's not HELPING. If you want to help, be fair. Or call it what it really is.

YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING THESE CRITICAL STATEMENTS ARE "LOW LIFES" I AM "NOT" ASSOCIATED WITH JD BYRIDER BUT I AM IN THE SUB-PRIME AUTO LENDING INDUSTRY AND ALL YOU RIDICULOUS PEOPLE THAT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PAY YOUR BILLS SHOULD LEARN HOW TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND LEARN SOME INTEGRITY AND THEN PERHAPS YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH A "USED CAR" OR HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU HAVE TERRIBLE CREDIT. IT IS A "USED" CAR..."USED"...STOP CRYING AND MAN UP! BE RESPONSIBLE AND PAY YOUR BILLS AND YOU WILL STOP HAVING EXPERIENCES LIKE THIS... I HAVE "PERFECT" CREDIT BECAUSE I PAY MY BILLS...AND I HAVE NEVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE LIKE YOURS BECAUSE I HAVE INTEGRITY!
GET A JOB...PAY YOUR BILLS...STOP THINKING SOMEONE OWES YOU SOMETHING...YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF!

JD ByRider's associates are the most dishonest, sleezy associates I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. If you are a single mother, they will sell you a deathtrap lemon that will put you and your children at risk. The same goes if you are older, younger, healthy, sick, it matters not; they will sell you a deathtrap lemon car and steal your money. Their automotive (repair) department is filled with ignorant, dishonest flunkies that will "bandaid-fix" your vehicle until the warranty runs out. They will not work with you to resolve the issues satisfactorily; they are all mouth and no trousers. JR (the ring leader of all the sleeze) is a linguini-spined COWARD. He does not return calls and does not care if you break down on the side of the road. All they want is YOUR MONEY! Our vehicle had to be taken back to their grease flunkies close to a dozen times in one year, sometimes every two weeks, and the issues (bad brakes, bad electronics, bad suspension, etc) still remained. DO NOT STOP AT JD BYRIDER IN CHAMBLEE, GA! They are THIEVES, they are EVIL, and they have no problem putting you and your family's safety at risk! Even if you die, they still have your money. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING! We have had to get an attorney to fight their dishonesty (and yes, there ARE Lemon Laws here in Georgia that apply to used cars!) and we have a good case against them. They can burn in hell as far as I am concerned.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOOOOOOOTTTTTT BUY [censor] FROM JD BYRIDER IN CHAMBLEE, GA! SEAN IS A RIP OFF ARTIST, THE ENTIRE CREW! THEY WILL SALE YOU A LEMON AND THEY WILL TELL YOU NOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOUR VEHICHLE WHEN TEN PLACES WHO DO NOT KNOW EACH OTHER CAN TELL WHY IT IS FALLING APART. THEY SALES JUNK AND YOU ALL CAN PAY FOR IT BUT I AM NOT AND THERE ARE OTHER PLACES YOU CAN GO AND MUST HAVE MAYBE TWO GRAND BUT YOU CAN GET A BETTER CAR LIKE NATIONAL CAR SALES IN MARIETTA WHO WILL AND DO NOT SALE LEMONS AND I WISH I HAD GONE THERE FIRST BUT I DID NOT RETURN MY CAR SO EASILY IT WAS [censor]ED UP ROYALLY WHEN THEY PICKED IT UP AND I MADE SURE OF THAT. THEY CAN KISS MY [censor] AND I HAVE A BETTER CAR NOW AND CREIT ESTABLIED ELSEWHERE. I DON'T NEED TO DEAL WIT THESE PARASITES. I WILL SAY THIS. YOU NEED CASH UP FRONT TO GO ELSEWHERE IS YOU MADE A DIRE MISTAKE AND GOT INVOLVED WITH THESE [censor] BUT ONCE YOU HAVE CREIT ELSEWHERE THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS AND EVENTUALL JD BY[censor]ERS WILL FALL OFF. I [censor]ED THAT CAR UP SO BAD SO THEY COULDN'T QUICKIE FIX IT AND RESALE IT TO A SAD SOUL. I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH NATIONAL CAR SALES AND I BOUGHT A SUPER NICE LOW MILEAGE CAR WITH NO NOISE JUST WORKED WITH ME BEAUTIFULLY AND WHEN YOU MENTION JDBYRIDER EVERYONE LOOKS BEWILDERED AS TO WHY THE HELL YOU WENT. THE [censor] THAT OWNED IT HE DIED IN A PLANE CRASH AND HE DESERVES TO BURN IN HELL. THERE IS A PLACE IN HELL FOR PARASITES LIKE THAT. I BOUGHT A GREAT SADAN AND HAD NO PROBLEM. IN FACT IT WAS GOOD THAT I HAD ESTABLISHED CREDIT ALREADY AND THEY JUST ADDED ON THE LOAN AND AFTER I GOT INTO ONE WITH THEM WHICH IS NOOOOT WHAT YOU NEED TO INFORM THEM INITIALLY THAT IS WHEN I [censor]ED UP MY CAR AND TOLD THEM WHERE TO PICK THE [censor] UP. YOU MAY NEED TO TAKE A SECOND JOB FOR TWO MONTHS TO SHOW ENOUGH INCOME THAT YOU CAN GET APPROVED FOR THE SECOND LOAN AND I CAME WITH TWO GRAND SO THAT GOT ME IN RIGHT THERE. THEY ALSO REPORT AS JDBYRIDER DOES AND MY NEIGHBOR TOLD ME ABOUT THEM. EVERYTHING WENT WRONG WITH MY CAR WITH JDBY[censor]ERS. WHAT KILLS ME IS THEY WON' TELL YOU. YOU KEEP HAVING THEM INSPECT IT AND THEY TELL YOU YOU HAVE A GOOD VEHICHLE WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS DYING! THEY TELL YOU THEY TAPPED OFF THE FLUIDS WHEN THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE WHEN THEY DIDN'T AND THE TRANSMISSION IS [censor]ED! YOU THINK EVERYTHING IS FINE UNTIL IT FALLS APART ALL AT RANDOM AND THEN THEY SAY THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT MY CAR WAS AND I DO MEAN WAS ALSO A FLOOD VEHICLE FROM KATRINA! IT IS A HARD LESSON LEARNED BUT THEY DIDN'T GET ONE MORE CENT FROM MY [censor] AND NEVER WILL. ********NEVER DEAL WITH THESE [censor]****** IF YOU DO HAV A LOAN GET OUT OF IT AS I DID.

hi my names is jomarie melendez, i too have problems with jd byrader, can u help me on some advise, and if u can please contact me at [protected], i really need some help and tell u more

what did you payu for it? 15k

Where is this happening at?

In June of 2007, just a day before my daughter's first birthday party, a very desperate, stupid me was escorted to JD Byrider by a car salesman from Chrysler whom couldnt get me in a car.

I was told that this was the best of the best car companies and he they would treat me good. seeing as if the car salesman was a personal friend of my boss, I thought I was at no harm.

Well I shouldve known that this was a shady deal because they videotape the contract and make you sign tons of forms that say you can never sue them no matter what! You must take them arbritration court.

I had met the owner and he was honest and upfront with me, he told me that the cars were from auction and they werent the best cars but the service department would always be there for me with my 18 month warranty. (he told me they were some of the best guys in the business) I was hesitant because I was paying over $10, 000 for a car that was in perfect condition and low miles was only worth $3, 000. But I was ensured that whatever problems may arise from the car would be taken care of asap. Thats what I was sold on; was the fact that they would always work on my car no matter what!I was given an emotional speech on how improvng my credit would help me, and to think that the money I was paying was priceless considered to how this new car would affect my credit score. My credit score has barely moved in 18 months of on time payments.

I needed a car extremely bad and couldnt risk losing my job, I could afford $175 every 2 weeks because I had been renting cars for almost 7 months at this point. and was paying almost triple that. I thought I had nothing to lose.

I drove off with my new used car; not even 12 hours later after getting the car, it cut off on the freeway. They made me pay $50 to get it towed back to them. It was Saturday so the service department was closed. The salesman stuck a dealer tag on another car in the lot and allowed for me drive it until Wednesday of that week.

This was only the start of my problems. I never drove that car 2 weeks without it cutting off, smoking, or not starting. The service department would keep my cars for days, whenever i called to get the status on my car, coincidentally Mike, the service manager always picked up and told me that his best guy was taking it for a test drive as we spoke. No kidding every time I called I was told someone was looking at my car or taking it for a test drive, as we speak. I have fellow family members whom work on cars but I never let them touch it for fear that I would lose my warranty. Whatever Mike and his employees were doing to my car were only minor things to last for a few days to a few weeks. I was told several times by several passer byers on the freeway, gas stations, or wherever my car would break down the issues that my car had. I would call Mike and tell him, he would have my car towed, I would get a rental, he'd keep it for days, I'd get it back in a few days, and maybe 2-5 days later my car would have another problem. Ive been told that tape was used to patch things up. I cant beleive they would put my child and I in such danger!

Supposedly they have put a new engine, replaced the gaskets, fixed leaks, pipes, brakes, tubes etc. And my car is a ticking time bomb. I have never missed a payment in 19 months. Even when I was out of work for 10 weeks! I even pay an additional $50 every month just so i can get rid of it quicker. If you dont make your payment by 5pm, they send the tow guy to your home and work looking for you. Mind you the payment window closes at 8pm.

They stay right on top of your payments but not on top of their so-called guarantee. The worst thing is I shouldve done more research. I was just so desperate! Ive read horrible stories all over the internet. One involving death. But guess what? The contract you sign, says they can use deadly force to take the car if you miss just one payment!

Ive paid over $7, 600 for the car since Ive had it, they havent fixed my car which is now out of warranty. I havent driven the car since August. Im still making payments on time. i still have active auto insurance on it. My mom uses the car occasionally to run errands or to take my grandmother whom has alzheimers to appointments. Last week I paid them $60 to fix the heat. They didnt! They put tape on the engine and messed up the fuses in the car so nw the trunk wont pop for my grandmother's wheelchair. They need to be stopped! This is not the kind of business we need around praying on those whom are trying to repair their credit and have families to take care of. We need reliable transportation!

This story is all too common with this company. They are ruthless liars. I too kept up my payments like clockwork and in return received several calls a week reminding me of the next one. I did tell them to stop calling, they didn't. It finally got to the point I went to the dealership to speak with the General Manager. His response was "if you don't like it go ahead and take us to court, I'll be happy to show up". I replied with an equally sarcastic remark and this nut case jumped out from behind his desk and started yelling "get out of my store" at the top of his lungs while waving his arms all over the place. These are the kind of [censor]s they put in charge so it's no wonder there are literally thousands of complaints against them. I have steered several people away from them and will continue to do so for the rest of my life! You have to be a real low life to sell vehicles for J D Byrider, that's for sure!

I found JD Ryder co. in Downers Grove Il, to be a den of thieves.For 2 weeks I spoke to a Joe (salesman) and told him exactly what we could afford, what our budget would allow and what we wanted to pay.Joe said sure we can take care of you.None of the cars there were not only NOT in our price range, but so overpriced that I actually started laughing in his face.Mike the fanance guy told me a different story than Joe did.Tey lied the whole time to my wife and I.These guys are BAD NEWS! Do not deal with them!

I think that's good what you did. Now I'm not sure if you look at this or not, But I have a question...I got a car from them back in Dec. 2009 and since then I lost my job and now only make about 400/month. I asked them if I returned the car would there be any repercussions and they said I would still have the voluntary repossession on my record, and I might still have to pay the remaining balance. Well, the reason I need to give the car back is I might lose my house if I keep it. I recently found out that they put wrong information on my paperwork. You see they make up a budget to work out the best payment plan for you. I pay 500 in rent and at 100 to my utilities each. They put down that I only pay 250 for rent and 40 for my utilities. Well I guess what I'm trying to find out, is Can I void this contract for false information? If you read this please let me know as soon as possible. You can e~mail me at sarahsleeper2007@yahoo.com I need to try and fix this, because I cant lose my house or I lose my son. Thank You for your time, if you read this.

Good for him i was Misslead and treated Very bad by their sales people they told us we could get a car no problem, so we drove about 1 hour to their dealership but after we got ther they changed their story on the money we needed down was about 4 times higher then we were origionally told and when i told them about changing their story all the sudden they told us they couldnt help us.All they all are is Scam Artist and liers, and they only sell over priced junk

What he did was illegal and he should be fired.

if this was a real story, that is.

good work you go federal judge thank you for using your gifts for good

I purchased a vehicle from JD Buy Rider which was financed through CNAC. I had been current on my payments since I purchased the vehicle in September 08. I had always made my payments on time. Until I had a minor set back. CNAC picked my vehicle up after 17 days past due. I immediately went and picked my vehicle up and paid the 539.42 for them re poring my vehicle. After to making the payments and contacting my family members from the West Coast and from South Florida the issue was resolved and I got my vehicle back. Eight days later my vehicle was once again repossessed by JD Buy Rider giving some excuse that my payment was eight days past due and that is why they repossessed my vehicle again. I feel that CNAC is a big RIP OFF and that they are taking advantage of the little people. I can understand if I had never made a car payment on time but to keep re poring my car for the own personal sanctification. JD Buy Rider Statement is "Good Cars For People Who Need Credit" Well I needed good credit and wanted to reestablish my credit now they have just destroyed my credit. JD Buy Rider is a company I will never purchase another vehicle from them they are very shady and do not communicated well. I never received anything in the mail that I had missed a payment or that the payment was not posted to my account they came like the theifs they are and took my vehicle for what? I was a loyal customer until these events happened. If you are purchasing a vehicle from JD Buy Rider...BUYER B WARE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO TAKE HEED TOO. THEY ARE SHADY...
