We Don’t Just Sell Used Cars

Our founder, James DeVoe, a Chevrolet-Cadillac dealer, had a goal to help people get reliable transportation, even if they’ve been turned down for traditional bank financing. In 1979, he began financing customers at his own car lot. He created Auto Credit seminars to teach other business owners how to do on-site financing in 1986 and founded J.D. Byrider a few years later in 1989.

In 2019, Byrider relaunches with new company vision: Be the consumer choice in helping people get a fresh opportunity to finance and own a quality vehicle. Byrider is America’s largest buy here pay here dealership network and has sold more than 1.2 million cars at more than 150 locations across the country. Byrider continues to transform the automotive industry through its dedication to customer service and focus on car quality. Byrider’s success is driven by a commitment to being the consumer choice in helping people “Buy, Finance and Drive On,” even if they’ve been turned down for traditional bank financing.

Mr. DeVoe based his business off of his desire to give customers a chance to be able to improve their credit scores while driving dependable cars that fit into their budgets. When he founded J.D. Byrider, it was with the idea that he could set up a franchise that would help other business owners provide the same benefits to customers across the nation.


For over 25 years, we’ve held true to his original way — the family way — of doing business.

Mr. DeVoe’s vision is why we’ve sold more than 1.2 million cars. We’re the largest buy here pay here dealership network of our kind in the United States, with over 150 locations all across the nation. Our satisfied customers around the nation prove we’re the way to go for an easy approval process and reliable vehicles, and we think that’s something Mr. DeVoe would be proud of.
