What are the hours and when should I call?

John Deere operates the call center for this 800-537-8233 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 603 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the John Deere call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this John Deere phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like John Deere staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call John Deere is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 97% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 603 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Thursday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Friday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call John Deere

In summation, the best day to call John Deere is Thursday. It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that John Deere staffs up on Thursday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.

Calling this John Deere Customer Number

Calling John Deere's customer service line is rather ineffective when finding a dealer or repair shop, which surprised me. The system will find dealers and repair shops in an area, but how it decides what area to search doesn't fit with today's world.

When I called this number, I was given three language choices: John Deere offers services in English, Spanish and French. I was then offered five choices for why I was calling John Deere. I opted to get information about finding a dealer, and I discovered the major flaw in John Deere's system: the system asks you to enter based on phone number rather than zip code.

In theory, this option would seem to work well. Most phone numbers are tied to a location, and John Deere has customers enter the first six numbers of their phone number to get a precise location. However, in the cell phone era, this is completely inefficient. Many people stick with one phone number for their entire adult lives, only changing numbers if needed for their business.

That was my situation, as I wanted to search for John Deere repair shops and dealers in Honolulu, where I'm currently living. However, because of my phone number, the system would only search for places around Indianapolis, where I got my phone. If I wasn't planning to return to Indianapolis, using this system would be completely useless to me.

Even in Indianapolis, this system isn't very useful. That's because phone numbers aren't as tied to a geographic area as they used to be in the cell phone era. My phone number should have been tied to my nearest phone retailer in Indianapolis, but the first location John Deere provided me was in Fishers, 45 minutes away from my home.

The second location was even further away, and it wasn't until I got to the third location that I got to the closest John Deere location to my home. This shouldn't be the case, and it only happens because of tying the search to the phone number rather than ZIP Code.

Switching to a ZIP Code-based system would make this much more useful to the average person, as it would allow customers to search for the store that's closest to where they want to shop. On the positive side, John Deere does allow unlimited cycles through location until you get the one you want, but that can take much longer than necessary.

Based on this interaction, I wouldn't feel great using this number for customer service. The way the system is set up looks helpful, but it plays out like it's stuck in a bygone era. It might be helpful for people with landlines, but in an era where three out of four people only have a cell phone, it doesn't work as intended.

Adam has been tirelessly trying to help customers find the best tips and tricks to get through phone trees and writing many guides for prickly customer service problems. He's been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Inside Edition and Bloomberg.
