Just be careful. Their videos are great, and they are car dealers so...they use words that make you think the car is practically perfect. But when you call and ask direct questions you may not get the complete/honest truth. My example, I found a car '64 chevelle, asked if there were any visible signs of corrosion in the paint. He guaranteed me there were none. Paint was perfect as the car had been frame off restored and only driven 300 miles since. I asked again, since it was a northern car ... again I was assured car was clean. I said I wanted to hire an inspector since I am in Texas, buying the car unseen. To which he replied I need to leave a deposit for hold it for awhile. A non-refundable deposit. I was a bit surprised, but assumed the car would check out. As with any classic car, there are problems. And their were numerous issues with the car. Lots of bolt on type things, easily solved with tinkering. And hey... I actually like the challenge of replacing a broken window motor, or fixing broken switches, etc. No complaints there. It is what it is. BUT... that corrosion I was assured was not present was easily spotted in the inspection. And I have owned enough classics to know what this means and the $ required to correct. I called them to explain my concern and that I am not interested in a car that has corrosion and repaint in the near future. I did NOT use this to negotiate the price lower (not my style)...just that this is not the car for me. Asked politely about the deposit and potential refund as I felt the car had not been represented accurately. They responded that they held the car for me (their end of the deal) and would not give a refund. Whatever, it's their policy and I am not going to get bent out of shape over $500, or the $500 inspection fee that are lost. (By the way, Michigan Auto Inspection Services are great! Seriously use them...best inspection I have ever seen!) Advice: Get an inspection no matter what. And be leery of non-refundable deposits... Will try to link their original video for reference. https://youtu.be/-ocyFJOVibo

I bought a 1955 Cadillac from them they are a scam they say the cars a laser straight and thete 50 footers then they charge a 10 percent restocking fee any questions call me at 9162753080

BUYER BEWARE. You must see the car in person before purchasing. An even then be cautious. Watch out for adjectives they use, e.g. Georges, Beautiful, Slick, Excellent, Quality, Premium, and Great. These are all subjective words. After all, these people are USED CAR SALEMEN. They will point out only the most obvious flaws & problems. My car had many paint flaws that were never mentioned. They said they check the brakes. My car right off the delivery truck, pulled to the left dramatically or should I say scary. I had to replace the calipers & master cylinder. They said my car had had a ground up restoration. Not hardly! All the bushings were bad. I had to replace them. The radiator, an original had a hole in it. I replaced that. The radio yes, did power up but could not get any stations. The tape player did work. I could go on. Photos & videos are nice but they hide a lot of bad things. I will not buy online (sight unseen) again from these people or any others. I have heard stories about cars from Barrett Jackson & Mecum also. They all look great in photos, videos & on TV but may not be what you think they are. I have put another $21k in this car to make it right. Don't get me wrong, I like my car now (a year later) but getting to this point was expensive and painful. The only thing that was great was the shipped (The Finest Car Carrier). The shipper was excellent. This guy is a standup guy.

I am a grown woman and this is the first time I've ever walked into a dealership by myself to…read morepurchase a vehicle. I was scared because I don't know how to negotiate. It gives me a lot of anxiety. The first question I asked was "do I have to negotiate because I'm scared" and I was blessed enough to be working with Linda Kelly, who said we don't negotiate because our prices are better than blue book. I'll start from the beginning, I was dying to get myself a stingray Corvette and I called a lot of dealerships and some told me they had one and they made it really difficult to get in but not Linda. She told me that she would have it ready for me to test drive as soon as I get there and when we arrive she was super kind super helpful and allowed me to take it for a spin. I came back in knowing that I wanted the car. I was really anxious. I wanted to make sure I was making the right choice. She provided me with every single document that I could ever need regarding the purchase price inspection. Hi history of the vehicle and just comforted me during the entire process, because it was not a cheap by, and I kinda needed my hand, held for a little bit because it was my first vehicle that I purchased all by myself. The manager was also an amazing man who really helped me feel more comfortable about my purchase and explain to him that I've been ripped off before and I wasn't even alone when it happened. He just had so much compassion for that and I didn't have to negotiate a single penny because it was already under market price. All in all, it was a fantastic experience that left me feeling great, and I would easily purchase another vehicle from them!!

As an automotive professional, it's frustrating to see customers misled by poor technical…read moreexplanations from a dealership that should know better. We recently had a customer come to us extremely upset after visiting this dealership, and for good reason -- he was given blatantly incorrect and misleading information about a transmission we installed. The vehicle was fitted with a Jasper remanufactured transmission, which includes a new torque converter as part of the unit. The dealership told the customer the torque converter had not been replaced. This claim is false and also impossible to verify without removing the transmission -- something they did not do. They also told the customer the transmission contained the "wrong fluid." Again, this is an unsubstantiated claim. Fluid type cannot be identified without taking a sample and having it tested, which was not performed. The transmission was filled with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic LV HP, exactly as required by Jasper. To add to the misinformation, the dealership pointed out a zip-tied shifter cable as if it were related to the transmission install. The vehicle arrived in that condition, and this is a very common, well-documented issue on these Chevrolet trucks. The manufacturer has since updated the part. Replacing the shifter cable is a separate repair, requiring additional labor and cost (typically around $500), which the customer had already declined due to budget limitations. Providing customers with technically inaccurate information -- especially information that cannot be verified without disassembly -- is irresponsible and creates unnecessary confusion and stress. We stand fully behind our work, which was completed to Jasper's exact specifications. Based on this experience, I would strongly caution others to question the accuracy of technical explanations given here.

Byers Wrecker Service - Insert ripped out and bumper hanging off the car

Byers Wrecker Service

Would never recommend. Police had my car towed here and in 4 days the car wracked up +$500…read more Accident happened over the weekend so no one from insurance was open and I had to wait this long. When I paid and they brought her out she needed a flatbed but they were dragging her causing more damage to the back end. The bumper was still attached but no longer. Carl was the smart guy who did this. When I told him he was scraping the ground he said he wasnt and I asked him how could he not hear the scrapping metal? I could hear it from inside my car. He proceeded to drop the car, call me an idiot, then disappeared. Went to the office to complain and Tiffany made it clear she agreed with him. Amazingly poor service from just dropping 1/2 a grand. Owner came out, blamed it on the original accident and wouldn't do shit or even acknowledge his employees treating a customer and their stuff this way. Avoid at all costs. Their lucrative police contracts mean they get plenty of work and don't care about your stuff at all.

My fiancés car broke down 1/2 of a mile from our home. We called Byers and left his car at the gas…read morestation where it sat for 4 hours prior to being towed, luckily we weren't sitting there waiting and we know the gas station owner personally. Byers charged us $85 for the hook up (fair in comparison to my knowledge of tow rates) and were told it would be $1 per mile after that. Our receipt reflects $6 mileage charge, 6 miles for a 1/2 of a mile tow?? When we called, the receptionist stated our receipt was incorrect and we were charged for "2 miles" the question remains why we were charged for two miles? The icing on the cake, upon arriving home, the tow driver completely missed our driveway. It is small, I will give him that, but our vehicle was parked halfway between our drive way and our home, we had to actually push the car to our driveway. After which, revealed the damage to our lawn (photos attached). Overall, not a pleasant experience and wouldn't recommend them to service anyone, especially during an already stressful time of a break-down or car accident.
