Customer Testimonials

Kyla was amazing!

The entire experience was 5/5 and my favorite person in the world now, my sales lady, Kyla Power was simply amazing! 😁 Thank you all at Checkered Flag!!!! Oh, Nick in parts is a gem as well. Thank you Nick! -Andrew R.

Thanks again Nick in Parts for your help getting us the washer no one could find!!

100% honest and hard working dealership! Dominic Bennett made the buying process a breeze. No haggle really means no haggle. They give you their best price up front and it’s not a gimmick. I would definitely buy from them again!

Outstanding, patient and professional experience working with Demetrius McNeill. I put my goals for a new vehicle and price, Demetrius delivered!

I couldn’t have been happier with my used car sales experience. Anthony was great in sales—no nonsense, listened to what I was asking for and just made it so easy! I immediately had a mechanical issue, but the dealership took ownership of it, fixed it, and returned it in perfect working condition even though they could have stuck me with the repair cost because I purchased ‘as is’. I would not hesitate to recommend Checkered Flag CDJR to friends or family!

So happy to have had Kyla Power as my sales person, as I had read nothing but stellar reviews about her. I traded in two older Jeeps for a 2023 Grand Cherokee Limited, and the entire process was seamless and pain free. I went back two days later for some added options, and was able to get them all done that day without an appointment. I will definitely be recommending Kyla and Checkered Flag for anyone looking at purchasing a new vehicle.

Kyla Power was super awesome and extremely helpful with getting our new car!!!! Got my dream vehicle thanks to her! Thank you so much!!!!

Easiest car buying process that I have ever had and I have bought cars in many states. Dominic was an amazing salesperson and would recommend him to any one looking for a vehicle.

I got a "Service DEF system. See dealer." While driving my RAM 3500. We took the truck here and saw Jackson. We used to live in Chesapeake, but now live in South Carolina. Jackson got us right in to see what was going on with the truck. Turns out it was the DEF injector that goes into the catalytic converter. The bolts that hold it in are known to rust and potentially break upon trying to remove them. Because of this they didn't want to chance trying to remove them with us being so far away from home. ...

Mr. Jackson is awesome and will serve you right. Ask for him. He will not lead you wrong. He's upfront and straight forward and will follow your needs for your vehicle.

Recently bought a Ram and John and Asia made the process easy and enjoyable. They were great and answered all questions and handled everything with ease.

Kyla is amazing to work with. If she didn’t know the answer she found it. - which she knew a lot. Very detailed and knowledgeable. Thank you for helping is the truck. He love it.

Asia Palmer was awesome!

Thank you to Asia and Demetrius for their assistance through the process. They not only showed me my options with buying a new vehicle, but also what a pre-owned vehicle would cost as well. They responded by text and phone calls. I recommend them and I’m very happy with my 2023 Gladiator.

Checkered Flag is great and trustworthy dealership. Demetrius was amazing with helping me find a car. There was no surprises, he was very detailed and thorough when it came to my final decision. I would recommend this dealership for first time buyers.

Anthony Blackwell, was an amazing sales guy. I came in for repairs. I asked could I see a Jeep Cherokee L Summit, he stopped what he was doing, show me exactly what he had on the lot and explained all the features the vehicle came with and the difference in the trim levels. I had an excellent experience for someone who was just looking. I will for sure back once I'm ready to purchase.

Recently purchased my second vehicle from Checkered Flag Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram, and I am impressed with Asia's professionalism and customer service.

Kyla was awesome! Just bought an suv from checkered flag. Easy experience.

I would 1000% recommend Checkered Flag! Our salesman, John Spensieri, is the real deal too! Absolutely no pressure and quick to everything. My outside financing had some internal issues that delayed the finalization of my sale by an entire week. They were extremely patient and understanding. John responded every time I reached out to him. His customer service is amazing! Hit him up next time you’re in the market for a car!!

Excellent service

Demetrius- He was amazing !! He got my family into a new vehicle super excited !!!!!

My first visit in some time to look at the New models Jeeps. They had a decent selection and Sena Turner, the representative that greeted Me, was very attentive, courteous, and while admittedly new to the dealership, offered all the help and assistance that I could ask for. She represented the buisness very well. The dealership itself is, and has been, clean, attractive and has consistently had a decent selection of most CJDR vehicles that interest me.

Sena Turner was awesome and definitely helpful along the process of buying a car she is an honest and very helpful person she made the buying process very enjoyable thank you so much

Sena Turner did a great job on taking care of us and picking out the perfect truck that met our needs and excellent customer service!

I was having probably the worst day in a long time and I pulled into Checkered Flag and immediately Sena came over to me and introduced herself. She was instantly the most awesome sales person I ever came across! Friendly, funny, not pushy, instantly felt as if I had known her forever. Turns out my credit wasn’t where it needed to be, but when I work to get it where it needs to be, you can be assured…I’m coming to get it from y’all!! Sena is awesome!! Great “face” for Checkered Flag, great job with that ...

The sales rep Asia was Amazing.

Sena from Checkard Flag was great, very personable and worked hard for me!

Sean was a great help today and made our new Jeep purchase a great experience.


Sales staff was very friendly and professional. They will get you the best price for your trade too.

Best place I’ve been to in awhile. Asia answered the phone and was immediately giving me information and answers to my questions. Arrived and you’ll think because she young she don’t know her stuff but she was very knowledgeable and welcoming. She’s the most humble sell’s person I’ve seen and will be upfront and realistic with you which I like personally. Other than that her communication was excellent, whatever she know you know asap. I recommend this place for all your vehicle needs

Kyla Power has helped us with a couple of vehicles now, and she is wonderful! She is very professional and has helped us most recently with our brand new challenger. The process was smooth and easy. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could!!

Sena Turner was an absolute pleasure to work with

Demetrius took great care of us! We love our vehicle and the perks of Checkered Flag.

First time visiting this dealership for service and the advisor assigned to my visit, Lafeyell Tucker was extremely helpful and detail with every aspect of the service appointment. I appreciated the honesty and time from Lafeyell and the technician that serviced my Jeep for allowing the visit to be less stressful.

Just purchased a new 2023 Ram Laramie. Kyla Power was wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable about the Ram and its features. She was able to locate a vehicle that met my needs at a competitive price.

This was my first time buying a car and it was such a wonderful experience with Kyla Powers. I would 100% recommend her. She answered any and all questions I had, even the most basic or ridiculous ones. And the buy experience wasn’t intimidating at all, which I was worried about as a first time buyer. Overall, highly recommend!

Great service! Sena worked very hard to ensure we had the best deal!


The service department has been maintaining my Ram 1500 Eco diesel (that I use to tow a travel trailer) since I purchased early in 2022, and they’ve always been very helpful, professional and friendly. I especially thank Keyante Ferebee and her team. No problems with my Ram so far 🤞, but yesterday the latest Uconnect update didn’t download properly, so I was unable to access any of the vehicles features like camera control, etc. I’ve noticed that Keyante is always quite busy, but she fit me in despite a tight schedule and had a technician fix the problem the same ...

A relaxing car buying experience. I had the pleasure of working with Kyla Powers and Dominic Bennett. Dominic helped me get a maintenance package with my already owned Charger and Kyla helped me understand the Lease program. Kyla is super entertaining to be around and made the car leasing experience a comfortable and stress-less one. (First time Lease of a vehicle). Will enjoy my Ram Bighorn. 10/10 will be back when I want to upgrade again. Cheers!


The staff was fantastic, and being able to complete the majority of the process electronically was huge since I am located outside of the Newport News area. Would definitely drive down to Checkered Flag CDJR to buy my next vehicle.

Anthony made buying a car easy.

Did an out-of-state purchase through Checkered Flag and we handled almost everything online, quickly and easily. Worked with John Spensieri on the deal and his professionalism and responsiveness was superb. Had a great experience working with this company and look forward to doing so again.

Sena Turner was hands down the best. From the moment I walked in the door to the moment I stepped out of the building she was so kind and welcoming. Came in not expecting anything serious to happen and to just test drive unfortunately the truck had just come in to the dealership and could not test drive that day. Set an appointment and after a few days came back and to much surprise the truck was still there. After the test drive and some signatures I was able to walk away a 2017 Truck owner at 20 Years old. Could not ...

Thank you to Asia Palmer at Checkered Flag Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram in Newport News for helping my son in his first car journey. I appreciate her timely customer service and honest feedback. She was not afraid to bring her Team Lead, Anthony, into our discussion to explain the full car buying process (loan, warranty, down payment) to my son. Asia is very knowledgeable and she cares. She is informative and patient. She travelled an hour to get a vehicle from Checkered Flag in Chesapeake for my son to test drive. Asia is a FIRSTCLASS salesperson. Thank you again Checkered ...

Anthony Blackwell was Awesome! He explained everything in detail and made me feel great about my purchase. He went above and beyond!!

As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Kyla! She was very welcoming and helpful! She helped me pick a wonderful car! 10/10 RECOMMENDED this place. They were all very friendly. Great environment!

I purchased my used Wrangler JK from Checkered Flag. The sales staff was super helpful and knowledgeable. I went needing a vehicle but unsure of what I wanted. They encouraged me to test drive several and took the time to work up pricing options for multiple vehicles and then made the process of purchasing as painless as possible. I've bought from several dealerships over the years and this is the best. I'll be buying here again. I also want to praise their service department. They always get me in quickly, generally the next day, and in and out ...

LaDonne was awesome!… Very efficient and attentive to my concerns. She’ll be my go to for as long as I’m visiting this location.
