I was recently rear-ended resulting in the totaling of my car (an EV) and thrusting me into an urgent search for a new vehicle that could handle my daily 108-mile commute. Over the course of two weeks, I had reached out to multiple big dealers regarding a variety of vehicle options, but never finding quite the right fit that met my needs. By chance, I happened across a listing for a 2026 Nissan LEAF EV with only 100 miles on it listed at JRS. It was an option that I had previously been interested in, but the new prices for anything above a base model were more than I wanted to do. Ray, the owner of JRS, had managed to scoop this one up from the manufacturer's corporate fleet, nearly unused, and offered it at a very reasonable price. I reached out and received an immediate response from Ray who, over the next several days, worked with me in good faith as I negotiated insurance and GAP processing issues on my previous car with the bank (who was also issuing the new loan and was holding things up because of issues with their GAP company and a data breach). Ray never pressured for a deposit and was very understanding throughout the process. He repeatedly updated and resubmitted paperwork every time the bank asked for a new addition and never complained. In the end, we got to the weekend and he had done everything necessary to get the bank to issue the check on the new loan and had the car waxed and detailed, waiting for us when we arrived. Small, selective lot, mainly focused on commercial trucks and vans, but a great deal and a great experience from start to finish for us buying a nearly-new personal vehicle. Ray is about as OCD as I am when it comes to the condition of his vehicles, as evidenced by the care he took in trying to make sure the car was spotless when we picked it up. He was more concerned with it than we were. My wife and I did a quick test drive, completed the last of the paperwork and were on our way with our new ride in less than an hour. No games, no bait-and-switch, no additional junk fees tacked on (he actually reduced the price by a few hundred dollars for us). Everything went exactly as you'd want it to go when buying a car. JRS Auto Buyers was, surprisingly, a pleasure to do business with. I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family, and would most certainly do business with them again in the future should the opportunity exist. Ray, thank you so much for your time and your assistance. We appreciate all of your efforts and your hospitality! read more

We'd been looking for an F250 4Dr Long bed (an 8 foot not a 6) pickup truck for a couple months. The intent was for hauling, so we didn't want to pay the astronomical prices we'd seen elsewhere. We placed our request on several auto sites and one day this truck from JRS Auto Buyers popped up. It looked like something we could work with and the price was acceptable. We called Raymond and scheduled a viewing for the next day. He had the truck out, cleaned up and ready to roll. After inspecting and test driving, we decided we liked it. In less than an hour, we were heading home with the truck. There was no hassle, no pressure, no stress! Raymond was wonderful. He had an engaging, energetic personality coupled with a yearning to deliver good customer service along with a reliable vehicle. He was proactive, knowledgeable and patient. We only wish he had on-site financing. read more

Very short interaction with these guys. We were already in the area and looking at cars and one that they had for sale popped up on our radar. We called and asked some questions about the vehicle and it was pretty close to our current location so we decided to swing by. They only had about 6 cars parked in front of a small office. It was easy to find the one we were looking for. Again, same as a lot of other lots we have been to, the pics did the car some justice and it wasn't as nice as the pics let on. We called him back, since nobody was outside, and let him know we'd be passing and skipped the test drive. Friendly both times we talked with them and didn't have an aggressive sales pitch, which I appreciated. read more

I worked with Ray over at JRS Auto Buyers, and it was absolutely the best experience that I have ever had purchasing a car! Ray went more than out his way to make sure that I was taken care of throughout the entire process, and he even helped me arrange getting the car shipped out to me since I live in Colorado. I have never purchased a car out of state, so I was extremely nervous especially for this kind of money!! But thankfully, Ray was very kind, patient and walked me through the whole process and he followed through early on every single promise and made me feel very comfortable putting my skeptical mind at ease! I will be forever grateful that he's such a great/honest businessman that honors his word just like I do, and I truly cannot thank him enough for putting this beautiful Mercedes in my hands! I am totally over the moon, and I still can't believe that I got my dream car thanks to you!! I highly recommend JRS to anyone looking for a great and honest dealer!!! Thank you so much, Jim S. read more

So I called and was able to schedule a meeting to buy a 2015 F150 from Ray a few days prior to my passing through Georgia. He made it painless and expedient. Truck was well priced for the miles it had on it. If I ever need another used truck I'll definitely be looking at JRS to see what I get. -SGT Stidham read more

Ray was a great listener to determine what we wanted in a car purchase. He was attentive, highly organized, and responsive every step of the process. Our car delivery process was smooth and Ray was quick to follow up and make sure we were satisfied. I would highly recommend Ray and would definitely buy another car from him read more

I had a great experiance buying a car from JRS yesterday. It was fast and easy. I didn't have to pay the dealer fee of $500.00 Ray was wonderful to work with. read more

please read notice:cheap and faulty car came w/oil leaks and im dealing with state fines go to another dealer you would think that the owner would be more patient in wanting to help his new customers rather this owner is rude, inconsiderate, unkind and he lies to get business. be prepared: this owner has called me brain damaged & dumb!! he has sold me a faulty vehicle with bad brakes and an oil leak!! when i first came to look at the vehicle it just had one dent in the back. we even test drove it & the brakes were working just fine. i asked about the dent and mild fixes which he assured me he would fix if i claim the car with a deposit (500.00). i agreed & paid a down payment (500.00). in the meantime i lost a family member and it was very hard to raise the rest of the funds. the owner did not care & even contacted me several times to warn me that my money will be forfeited if i did not come and pick up the vehicle on schedule (which he previously failed to disclose). i finally came back to pick up the vehicle with the remainder of the funds and i noticed that there was another dent on the vehicle and the brakes were squeaking. i asked him about the current dent and he lied stating that it was there the last time. i asked if bit was there last time why hasnt it been fixed as we agreed upon? he stated with great confidence that he definitely did fix everything then got agressive saying that he has "customers that spend more" therefore its all he can do; with his behavior i felt i was forced into an agreement which i could not go back on. pls dont make the same mistake as me. go to another deal it was later admitted to me that the dealer frequently drove the vehicle prior to me picking it up. this came to me as a realization that the dents and scratches were placed there by him only after i was coerced into making a non refundable deposit and down payment. he also had the car insured and did not tell me when he removed the insurance therefore i was forced to pay a penalty!! heres the catch : the dealer placed my previous address in the system to throw off the letters informing me of its insured status! please do not agree to this dealership registering your car for you. it is a scam. i beg you. g-o elsewhere! read more

I just bought a 2014 Ford Fusion from Ray and had a great experience. I got a good price on the car and he paid me a good price for my trade. So far I love my new car and have had no issues. I will definitely come back to JRS in the future. read more

DO NOT buy a car from this guy. He suckered us so bad. I had the car checked out by a third party and they warned me not to buy it. Ray said he would take it to his mechanic and have the issues fixed. He also offered to buy us a third party warranty. First - they did not fix the car. They put "stop leak" in it, which has caused even more problems. The "warranty" he threw in is not accepted by any reputable mechanics and no mechanics at all within 30 miles of us. The head gasket is blown and we have to buy a $12,000 new engine. He ripped us off and knew he was doing it. read more

Ray from JRS sold me a total lemon. I bought the car in June and left it at my mother's house while I went up to New York. While I was gone my sister checked on the car and the battery was dead. She jumped it and took it to Pep Boys where they had to replace the battery terminals. When I returned I drove the car back to Athens where it sat for a few days before I headed to Florida. I was about 60 miles from home in the middle of nowhere and the car started smoking. I pulled over, opened the hood, and discovered that there was no oil and no coolant. Luckily I had water, so I put that in the radiator and limped to the nearest auto store where I got coolant and oil. I continued on my way and arrived in Jacksonville where my car sat for a few days. When I drove it again it overheated, but luckily I had more coolant and oil. On the way home the gas pedal was not working correctly, sometimes it would go, sometimes it wouldn't, but I was able to get it to a Goodyear auto repair and they were aghast. They couldn't believe I had just bought that car and recommended that I contact the dealer when I got home. It had a huge crack in the radiator, I had to get a new one, along with spark plugs and some piston work. I spent over 2000.00 on this car I had just purchased. When I called JRS I asked if he had inspected the car or driven it, and he basically said no, he had given it the once over. He refused to help with any of the repairs and refused to accept any responsibilty for selling me a lemon. DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM JRS. You will be sorry read more

I was looking for a van to start my new business. I liked the looks of a 2012 Nissan NV1500 JRS had on their website. Ray suggested that I look at the 2014 model even though it had a few more miles on it, he said it is a much nicer vehicle plus it had some additional features that the older model did not have. He was straight forward with all that he knew was wrong with the vehicle which was not much. The newer model was nicer in many ways. I did purchase the 2014 instead of the 2012. Could not find one for a better price on the major car sites. read more

JRS Auto is a great place to buy your next car. Ray ( the owner) and Tess ( front office) are two of the best at working with you to put you in the perfect car. I just purchased a Nissan Juke 2012 from him. Super clean, low mileage and runs great. I had looked at other places but the drive to JRS was worth it. If I ever need another car, I am coming back here! Highly recommend them! Sharon Collins read more

I just purchased a used Nissan Leaf from JRS and it was the best car purchase I ever had. I actually bought the car sight unseen. Ray recommended the car to me and I had a family member check it out since I was out of state at the time. It was an exceptionally clean, low mileage vehicle that he said he would feel comfortable giving to a family member. He accepted a down payment by credit card and the balance by a check sent in the mail. He then arranged for an auto transport company to deliver the car. It all went seamlessly. Ray personally answered any questions that I had. I couldn't be happier with JRS. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

I'm going to forgo my $25 Visa gift card for a positive review that people receive from JRS and write about my less than stellar experience. I purchased a 2014 Hyundai Sonata from Ray. I noticed an issue and he said he is going to take care of it before I pick up the car. I was told by his assistant that he ordered the part needed to fix it. I arrived with the check after-hours on a Friday and his mechanic handed me the keys of the car. I drove less than 2 miles before the car broke down. I contacted Ray immediately and he exactly described the issues I was experiencing with the car. He then said that he had the ordered part still in his car. He never fixed it! On Monday he told me that the car was having a different issue and the engine sounded like it was about to die. To make a long story short, he never fixed the car and left me with a lemon telling me that I purchased the car "as-is" and that I should have known better. After he told me that the car isn't driveable anymore, he drove it himself off the front of the building where he conducts business and abandoned it on the side of the road with the keys inside. He said he didn't have room for it even though when I had it towed all parking spaces were empty. You decide if you want to buy from someone like that... read more

If you know what type of car your looking for, JRS is for you. I have bought 2 vehicles through JRS over the last 3 years and the process has been seamless. I would not go anywhere else in the future. Very professional with no dealer fees unlike others. read more

complete rip off! I got scamed pls go anywhere else. Ray is same old usual crooked junk car salesman. When I tried to return a completely unsafe car the next day (as agreed), after mechanic deemed total loss & undrivable, I got hit with $500. "restock fee" which was not what was discussed. Then to add insult to injury, the only option given was to choose another car from lot which turned out to be 5 out of 5 more junk autos all with problems. Ray refused to return down paymt ended up with over priced car that I did not want. All the cars I looked at were overpriced with hidden problems. Ray is dishonest with no sense of honor I feel so used & taken of advantage of. If you choose to do business with JRS get everything in writing bc Ray will not keep his word. He frequently drives his inventory most of which comes straight from the local auction without any services or repairs his only concern is how much he can $$ he can get you to pay for his junk read more
