Anyone needing a good used car with our without credit problems, this is the place to go. They stand behind their cars. You get a two year, 24,000 mile warranty. Any service issues they will fix it. Made buying a car so easy. I will definitely be back to but my next used car. Super friendly and will explain any questions you have.

Do not ever purchase from these crooks and con-artist. They will rip you off completely and do so illegally and as dirty as possible. I was charged for months of past due monthly amounts even after no longer having the car I bought. If you still decide to use them, have a really good lawyer handy. And I say again......BEWARE this place.

We purchased a car from “smart auto” now know as “fishtail financial” and will NEVER recommend this place to anyone especially any young new drivers or any elderly, these people take advantage of any and everyone they possibly can, Between the amount charged for poor quality vehicles and the ILLEGAL FINANCE CHARGES I’m not sure why they are still in business, please educate yourself on your Tennessee consumer laws and consumer rights !!!!!! I would hate for someone to be swindled buy this group of con-artist the way we were.(I would give negative stars)

The only reason Im giving 5 stars is they got good people kind and awsome but when it come to their cars not so good I got a 2013 chevy Cruze only not even two weeks in yet and its already got problems. Valve cover gasket and catalac converters are already bad then my car wouldnt start cause it said service theft system.

I wouldnt trust them at all. They will sale you overpriced junk by dishonest people that have no respect for their own children or let alone you. Tammy in the title department threw her children away for my fiance even after he pushed her children away his daughter took her job and her husband/. My fiance is at my house all day while shes at work, she is snobby arragant and is known for stealing money.

Absolutely loved having Shellys assistance in finalizing all of the details needed to drive away with the car we came to see today! She made sure we made all the right decisions, AND added bonus for me, she made great conversations throughout the process that changed my dads attitude by the time we were ready to go! Shes a winner and a keeper in my book! Ill send anyone looking for a car to her!

Great guy. Made us feel better about getting a vehicle because we were iffy and didn’t think we could get a new one without a lot of hassle. He made it quick and easy. In and out with a new car in no time at all. Great sales man. Easiest and least painful deal we’ve ever made. Highly recommended for anyone.

Shelly was absolutely amazing from the time we made contact via email/text, until the purchase of my vehicle. This was one of the most simple, and fastest car buying experience I have ever had.

Review №35

I have never had a more pleasant, seamless and fast car purchasing experience, than the one I had with Tyler at Smart Auto. I called ahead of time to find out the requirements, submitted an application and was pre-approved before I went to the lot. I bought in the necessary paper work, test drove two of the 4 cars I was approved for and came back the next morning to finish the deal. Tyler was very VERY through in explaining everything to me, answered any and all questions I had and was just overall one of the nicest car salesmen Ive ever encountered. They will work with you, no matter if your credit is awesome, fair or terrible which was such a relief to me! Not to mention, making payments on time will report to the credit bureaus to help rebuild not so great credit! No pushy car salesman, or spending HOURS waiting to get approved, I would 100% recommend Tyler and the wonderful people at Smart Auto if you are looking for a reliable, affordable vehicle, please dont hesitate to give Tyler a ring and he will do whatever he can to get you in something nice!! Truly an amazing, pleasant experience!!!

Review №40

I was interested in a vehicle from SmartAuto I saw online so I sent an inquiry. The very next morning Shelly Fair contacted me with a pre-approval on financing. When I visited the dealership, I test drove it, loved it, and was on my home in under 2 hours from the time I arrived. The added bonus is they include a 2 year dealer warranty! If you are looking for a new-to-you vehicle, dont have a massive down payment or perfect credit, Shelly will help get you into a good vehicle.

I love this place. Tyler was a very good sales rep and really know what he is talking about when it comes to the loans and the process of well everything to do. He even helped me get most of everything done b4 I even drove there to make things faster. The financing process is easy affordable and flexible even with 0 to bad credit. And also they have warranty on vehicles so no more buying a cap vehicle and it breaking down and coming out ur pocket.

Review №75

My husband and I purchased a car. We seperated. I was making the payments as my income had changed and during a pandemic. I called them to refinance. I called them to change the date of my payment. They refused to work with me. I was 2 weeks behind on my payment because I was waiting on my paycheck and just took the car to be serviced, at smart auto, and they repoed the car. 2 weeks! And then recieved a letter dated the day after repo to pay the entire amount owed. If you must purchase a car from this lot, God forbid life happens to you and you get behind on 1 payment. They dont even wait to report it to credit. Rip offs!

Went today and only had about $300 to put down and ended up getting a 2010 Ford Escape and they were very helpful and understanding and helped us get a car we really liked and needed.

Review №96

We had a great experience today. Shelly was our salesperson and she was very courteous and helpful. No one was pushy and overall it was a fast experience for purchasing a car. Was pleasantly surprised that they put $250 towards the down payment on the car. Robbie was very friendly and explained all the details of the purchase so there was no confusion. Ive read a few people say the cars are overpriced, but Im not sure what people expect when you have less than perfect credit and they do not require large down payments. I was also again pleasantly surprised to get a $20 gas card on my way out the door. I recommend anyone in need of a good reliable car to give them a shot.
