What Amherst drivers say on Google

Let me start off by saying Chaz is amazing!! He did everything he could possibly do to get me approved and that he did!!! No challenge stopped him from getting me into a car today and for that I’m so grateful!! He was very professional and knew his stuff! I could honestly say that he is one of the most honest car salesman I ever came across in my life! But not only was Chaz very helpful. The whole entire team of JD by Ryder is absolutely awesome. Amy from the finance department was very understanding and honest as well explained everything that needed to be explained and made sure that the car fit perfectly into my Budget! I thank everyone there today Who had a major part into getting me and my kids into a vehicle today. I highly recommend JD Byrider in Amherst.!! Go check them out!!

Especially Chaz even when I didn’t have a credit history yet he still went above and beyond to get me approved and in a vehicle thank you!!!!

Austun and Amy were amazing. Such great customer service. I highly recommend this dealership. I also recommend the insurance that they offer. I was unfortunately in an accident in our previously purchased vehicle from here and after paying our deductible was able to get into another vehicle very promptly. This was a huge blessing.

Amazing people to work with! Chaz was amazing. So upfront about everything from the beginning. Randi was amazing explaining everything as well. Everyone explained everything step by step and made sure we understood everything from start to finish! Thank you so much to everyone for helping us get into a new car when our other car wouldn’t make it! I’ve also had the pleasure of dealing with Melissa in the service department! I had an issue with a part they replaced before I bought the car and they replaced it at no charge to me. Melissa was super pleasant and extremely helpful!
