Had a great experience at Byrider Akron! Kevin was awesome to work with. He was friendly, helpful and made the whole process easy without making us feel pressured or rushed. He took the time to answer our questions and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. If you're looking for a vehicle, I definitely recommend stopping in and asking for Kevin!
