J.D. Byrider Used Car Dealership Opens in Meriden

J.D. Byrider opened its first Meriden-area dealership at 1187 East Main Street.

It’s the second dealership in Connecticut.

“I am excited to join the Meriden community,” said Jeff Merriam, franchisee. “My staff and I look forward to providing customers with less-than-perfect credit the superior service and affordable financing J.D. Byrider has come to be known for nationally.”

More from the dealership:

The 23,000 square-foot location will offer used car sales, 11 service bays, affordable pricing on parts and labor and a 24–month/24-mile service agreement on all cars purchased. The dealership will also create approximately 25 new jobs.

With the Meriden location, J.D. Byrider has opened a total of four new dealerships in 2015. The company now has 168 locations in 33 states.

“We’re excited for Jeff as he expands our brand into Meriden,” said Tom Welter, vice president of franchising for J.D. Byrider. “He knows the value of our business model and operational support, both of which are driving the unprecedented unit of growth we are expecting.”
