General Description

My name is Jay, and I am the owner of Backroads Automotive, a locally owned used car dealership based in Chesapeake, Virginia. I started Backroads Automotive to provide a more honest, transparent, and reliable way for people to buy used vehicles. I believe customers deserve clear answers, quality vehicles, and a buying experience built on trust instead of pressure. I am hands-on in every part of the business, especially when it comes to vehicle selection. I do not buy inventory simply to fill a lot. Every vehicle is chosen based on condition, reliability, service history, and overall value. Before any vehicle is offered for sale, it is fully serviced and inspected. This includes an oil change, a Virginia state inspection, and any required maintenance items to ensure the vehicle is safe and dependable. Once mechanical service is complete, each vehicle goes through a professional reconditioning and detail process. This includes a full interior and exterior cleaning, a 3-stage buff with paint correction, and steam cleaning of all seats and carpets. I want every customer to feel confident not only in how their vehicle looks, but in how it performs after they drive it home. Honda vehicles receive additional attention. All Honda inventory is sent directly to a Honda dealership for service, inspections, and fluid changes prior to sale. I take this extra step because I believe manufacturer-level service standards matter, and I want customers purchasing a Honda from me to feel confident they are getting a properly inspected vehicle. Financing is also an important part of what I offer. I work with multiple lenders to provide financing options for customers with a wide range of credit situations. Whether someone has excellent credit, limited credit history, or is rebuilding credit, I take the time to explain available options clearly and honestly. My goal is to help customers make informed decisions that fit their budget and long-term needs. What truly sets Backroads Automotive apart is the buying experience. This is not a large corporate dealership with sales scripts or rotating staff. Customers deal with real people, and often directly with me. I believe in no-pressure conversations, transparent pricing, and honest guidance. If a vehicle is not the right fit, I will say so. I care more about long-term relationships than short-term sales. Being locally owned and operated means my reputation matters. I live and work in the Chesapeake area, and my business is built on referrals, repeat customers, and word-of-mouth. I believe in doing business the right way, even when no one is watching. That commitment to integrity is the foundation of Backroads Automotive. Backroads Automotive proudly serves Chesapeake, Virginia and the surrounding Hampton Roads area, including Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk, and nearby communities. With a growing online inventory and a customer-first approach, my goal is to make used car buying simple, straightforward, and stress-free. Common Questions Customers Ask 1.

My goal is simple: sell quality vehicles the right way and treat people with respect.
