I have to say this was by far the best car buying experience Ive ever had. The guys at But Your Ride are all top notch and caring people. They dont want to just sell you a car, they want to sell you the car thats right for you and your budget. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a new car or want to sell the one they have, these are the guys to go to hands down! A huge thank you to Eric, Christian, Mario, and of course Phillip who is a great part of his dads team π
I was looking for a ram 1500 Laramie and they were selling out everywhere. Eric helped me out with an awesome ride longhorn Laramie with all the features i was looking for. He also helped me with a trade in and great price. Thank you so much!
110% would recommend Buy Your Ride (Eric). The car purchase experience was the smoothest and easiest Ive ever experienced (and the Jeep I wanted had to be ordered from the factory configured the way I wanted). I would highly recommend contacting Eric if your in the market for a new or used car (or even thinking about it and looking to find out your options). Hes extremely knowledgeable of all auto brands and will definitely get you the car or truck your looking for. Again, I would 110% recommend contacting him for your next vehicle purchase.
The guys here are great. Eric, Mario mad Chris are all professional, helpful and friendly. Eric has several years experience and is a problem solver. He can help and give ideas for any situation. Thanks for everything, I will certainly refer you to friends and work with you again!!!
I live in Bakersfield, and Ive been looking for a certain Jeep for about 3 mo. I found the Jeep on line at Buy your Ride at 7:30 am. I called and left a message and Eric returned my call on his way to work, Even before work he started, working with me and got it set up to go in, test drive and possibly buy the Jeep. Its an hour and 45 min from my house to there, but had to wait for my wife to go with me. we didnt leave until 4:30 that afternoon, and when we got there I saw the small dealership that didnt look like much and wasnt sure I wanted to go in, but we did and very glad we did, they werent pushy or demanding. They had the car right there for me to test drive and I loved the Jeep, it was what exactly what I had been looking for. Eric and his team were very attentive and were able to process the paperwork very efficiently and they stayed after hours just to make sure everything was done correctly and I was happy. Im 70 years young and have bought a lot of cars in my life and they impressed me, they dont spend their profits on multi-million dollar car lots and make you wait hours to buy a car. They find out what you are looking for and if they dont have it they are willing to locate what you want and get it for you. It was the first time in a long time I didnt spend 3 or 4 hours waiting in line just to buy a car, so if you want a professional to help you into your next car, go see Eric and his team, They will treat you with respect as a person, not just a number waiting in line for hours.
I have known Eric for 20 years. Trustworthy and Loyal.This is a family shop, with Old School values and doing business the way it should be done.Customer service is a Lost Art.It has a home here.Five Stars should be 10.
Highly satisfied with Buy Your Ride.I had a very complicated double transfer that I wanted to perform for a small amount of money but Eric was very help, courteous, attentive and professional. Not only was he a nice and personable guy but he went out of his way to help me with a myriad of different documents by filling out pdf draft copies for me to sign and even video calling to help me out.He was very detailed and diligent to give me clear instructions for what should have otherwise been a very difficult process. I felt the price they gave us was fair and the service was exceptional.I would highly recommend if you are looking to sell a car and want a knowledgeable and patient seller to work with.
Nice guys, sold me a nice car, didnt try to pressure me, it took some time but thats what buying cars is like. I will likely be recommending this company to my friends.
Cant get any better than Eric Van Ace. What a name by the way. Helpful. Attentive. Top notch.
I was dreading going through the car buying process, but Eric made it as easy and efficient as Id ever experienced. His relationships in the car sales community made it possible for me to get the exact car I wanted, hassle free, for a steal of a price. His knowledge and experience about the buying process and warranty options made me feel like the tables were turned on the dealership and we where in the drivers seat. Literally. If youre in the market for a new or used car you really cant afford to not use his service.
Eric was referred to me by a friend. Im located in AZ and even though he is based in CA, he was EXTREMELY knowledgable and was able to find me the perfect car at great value within 5 days. Would highly recommend!
This is the first time that I have leased a car through a car broker. All I can say is if you are looking to lease a new car, Eric is your man! He made the process effortless. He was attentive, responsive and found me exactly what I was looking for. If you like great customer service, look no further.He arranged for the car to be brought to me and my old car to be taken away. No hassle, no haggling, just a smooth, uncomplicated process.
Working with Eric at Buy Your Ride was a great experience! From the start of helping us identify the right car for us, to the finish of helping us with the purchase process, Eric was great. I would highly recommend Buy Your Ride for anyone looking to buy their next car!
Iβm not sure where to even begin with this company... wow... just WOW! Iβve never experienced such great and amazing customer service from anyone!!! Eric went above and beyond to not only make sure that I found a vehicle that had every feature that I wanted (which is difficult because Iβm VERY picky ha!) but he handled it like a champ!! Not only did he find my perfect car, but I got the car much less than what the dealership wanted to charge!!! My car was delivered to my door! Eric handled all the paperwork and within a few days I was ready to cruise again. If you want top notch service without dealing with the hassle of car-salesmen at the dealership lot (who by-the-way like to call, email and pressure you 10x per day) and loads of paperwork, save yourself the time, money, stress and just call Eric! This will be my βgo toβ guy for now on! :)
Everybody was real nice helpful.
Buying a car from Eric was such a breeze. Not only did he get me the best deal in town, he had it delivered to my door. No fuss, no hassle. So awesome! I will definitely go through him next time I need a car!!!
Eric was able to get me a great deal on an absolutely beautiful Alfa Romeo. All I had to do was tell him what I wanted, send a few documents he asked for, and in less than 72 hours I was driving off the lot with my new car. Very easy and convenient experience!
Eric was great through the whole experience. He found what I wanted nearby. He then told me to stop by the dealership to test drive and they had it ready for me. When I went back to lease the vehicle Eric was already at the dealership with all the negotiating handled by him and i just had to sign the paperwork. This is the only way to buy or lease a vehicle from now on!
Eric is the BEST! He just helped me with a deal and made the whole process easy. He answered all of my questions and walked me through all phases. I will be sure to call him first with any future car purchases or sales.
Definitely the new way to buy a car any car. Whatever year make and model Eric seems to find it !! He spoke with several different Mazda dealerships to get the best price for me .,TimZoom Zoom Zoom!!
After finding out that I needed to move out of LA, I contacted Eric to buy my car after already visiting the dealership that I purchased the car from as well as Carmax. Eric went above and beyond to give me the best price that he could buy it for (way above both the dealership and carmax). He was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was so accommodating and made the process extremely easy and convenient for me. Will absolutely recommend him.in the future and will never need to contact anyone other than him to buy or sell a car for me in the future.
My experience with Eric was incredible! He was thorough, reliable, has amazing relationships and I ended up with an incredible car with an incredible deal!
I found the Buy Your Ride from CraigsList ad. I found a great deal on a used Infiniti M45 and contacted the phone number that was provided. I spoke with Eric, and he was really polite and professional from the very first day. Usually Im skeptical of CraigsList transactions, due to so many scammers on CG.. but I was able to make the safe transaction at his office in Encino. Eric was flexible on his time and schedule and also completed a inspection, rear brake pads, and valve cover gasket replaced prior to purchase and was added to my invoice.Overall, I found a great deal and brought the car home and received all documents following weeks.I would definitely recommend Buy Your Ride to purchase, sell, or lease any cars..these guys are really top notch at what they are doing.Thank you Eric.
First thing is first, a facebook friend of mine shared a post regarding this company and my father was in the market to buy a used Truck.After submitting my inquiry online for my dad (I noticed their website was a bit shoddy, it looks like one of those Congratulations, you are a winner type of websites. The design was basic and the layout was exactly like those scam-sites. Of course, the post was from a relatively close friend so I didnt regret submitting my inquiry just yet. However, there is a section that showed customer testimonials, which reminded me of an info-mmercial for a product or service that is just trying way too hard to gain your trust. I gave it a shot but I decided to do some research on the side.I looked them up on Yelp and they seemed legit, some guy named Eric Van Ace replies to the good reviews posted on there and I also ran a quick search on corporation wiki to see where the company originates and it gave me an address. The address is for some home in Simi Valley, so I figured alright well, this Eric Van Ace guy is most likely just some guy running his home business with connections in the automotive industry.So Im doing my searches at 2 AM, because this business really caught my eye and find out he used to work for other dealerships, and he happened to be connected to some dealerships in the valley. One location was called Van Nuys Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram which I guess is called something different now, another was West Valley something or other- point is I thought wow this guy must be really successful to start his own business, he must be THE guy to know in the automotive industry. My level of trust went up!WRONG, the next morning I called the Valley dealership he used to work for in Canoga Park and they said he was let go. I brought his name up to one of my close friends who work in the automotive industry and they told me dont do business with this guy and they continued to let me know the reasons why he was let go from the company of course I was thinking well maybe its all just hearsay and rumors but I contacted a few other people I used to know in the business since I used to sell cars for Toyota and I havent really heard one good thing. I decided not to purchase from here, but hey, guess what? They didnt call me or email me...so regardless of all my research they wouldnt have earned my business anyway, they didnt want it!As someone who was formerly in the automotive industry (even though it may have been YEARS ago), it baffles me that a 5 star business would pick and choose who they want to sell to, or maybe he saw that I was submitting an inquiry for someone else? Not really sure, but I guess some of his close friends and supporters trust him, which is great but I personally wouldnt trust this guy. Youre better off buying a car from a dealership or some place with a real guarantee in my opinion.
Great
