First of all let me just say this was the best experience I have had in buying a car! I live 65 miles away from Smart Choice, but saw an ad for a car I was interested in, and with the shortage of used cars today, I felt I just needed to go and check it out. I was skeptical about going anywhere other than a major car dealer, which I have always done in the past. Boy, was I wrong! Mark made the process so easy with no pressure at all, and I felt like he was truly working with me instead of against me. I got a quality car with a great experience and would highly recommend Mark Thornsberry and Smart Choice Auto Sales to anyone! Definitely worth the 65 mile trip! Thanks Mark!
I live near Smart Choice and drive by the dealership daily. I had used their detailing services before and was impressed by the thoroughness and affordability of the service. The cars are always nice and well-kept. It’s obvious that they take pride in their vehicles. Having been told by others that they always buy cars from Smart Choice, it was the obvious choice when I started looking to trade in. Thanks to Mark Thornsberry for an enjoyable and easy experience. I picked out an almost brand new Jeep Wrangler and had the keys in my hand in less than an hour. Truly a wonderful experience!
Will Gilmore handled our car purchase. He was professional, friendly & courteous. Our car buying experience was smooth & convenient. He provided excellent customer service before, during & after the sale.Thank you Will.
Bought a truck from Mark and couldnt have asked for better salesman. Top notch people in a top notch environment. Everything was spotless from the vehicles on the lot to the office where we made the deal. Thanks again to Mark for an easy, painless purchase.
My daughter saw a Charger on their website and was told by the salesperson to come by and he would have it out to look at. When we got there he then said it was sent to be worked on. Why tell a potential customer to come look at a car if its not there.. Not good business.
Mark Thornsberry made my trade-in and subsequent used car purchase very easy. He was fair with pricing and provided additional resources to make me feel confident about the entire transaction, including financing and long-term warranty options. I came over all the way from West County in Saint Louis, but Mark made it worth my while. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Mark if you want a stress-free experience.
Mark came in on his day off to show me a few Wranglers they had on their lot. They had the exact Sahara Wrangler I had been looking for and I couldnt find a better price any where else. Their prices are clearly marked so there is no confusion about what youll pay, no hidden rebates. I purchased it the next day and I couldnt have made a better decision. Thanks, Mark, for your help and expertise. My family and I greatly appreciate it!
Very professional, friendly and honest establishment. No pressure at all while deciding our car purchase. Would highly recommend Smart Choice Auto Sales!
Always happy with the staff here. Very professional.
Thank you Will Gilmore. A pleasure doing business with you and Smart Choice. You found my wife exactly what she wanted and we couldnt be happier.
Easiest car buying experience weve had yet. Thanks!
Had a very pleasurable buying experience with Wil Gilmore as our salesperson. Knowledge and considering our needs in a vehichle. No pressure.
Very nice used car dealer. Salesman pleasant. Always have nice vehicles but Ive yet to actually purchase from them.👍
The staff here was great. They have a spot for your kids to sit and watch TV if you have to bring yours. It was a pretty fast process. I highly recommend them.
We had a great experience purchasing our vehicle from Smart Choice! Mark was very helpful in ensuring that our needs were met and was always available via email and phone. The building, lot, and vehicles were all very clean and well taken care of. Would certainly recommend buying from Smart Choice to friends!
I just bought a 2018 Jeep Wrangler from Mark at Smart Choice Auto!! I thought that their vehicles were great quality vehicles. I also feel like Mark was very patient with us. I test drove 3 different Jeeps before I decided on the one. We didnt feel high pressured at all. He got us great financing and worked with us on the down payment. Overall the experience was great from the beginning to the end. Thanks again!!
Strongly recommend going to see Mark at Smart Choice Auto Sales! We had the best experience purchasing our vehicle! He was professional, courteous, honest and provided exceptional service! The process was seamless and we will think of them first for our future car purchasing needs!
We had been referred to Smart Choice and Danny by a friend. Visited the sales lot, asked for Danny, and from that moment on had great service. The purchase was easy and so convenient, and the service was excellent! We visited the next day (after purchase) with a couple questions about the cars options that we couldnt figure out, and Danny was so knowledgeable and helpful, even though the sale was done!!! We even had help from one of the guys in the service area! I would recommend visiting this sales lot, lots of cars, slightly used, excellent condition, and friendly and excellent service from Danny!!! Oh, and by the way, everyone couldnt have been more friendly!!!! We are recommending to all our friends and family because we trust them!
After purchasing a new vehicle at a different dealership and having that one totaled after 6 days of ownership, I was back on the market looking for reputable dealers. Through VERY good word of mouth advertising, having multiple people recommend me, and reading about others that have had great experiences, I went to Smart Choice with very high hopes.They absolutely did not disappoint in any way. The owner Jason was VERY professional, very down to Earth, and showed absolute dedication to making my visit worthwhile.I worked with Danny and he reflected Jasons great work ethics and made sure that I left a satisfied customer. Smart Choice has earned my business by making the whole experience incredibly easy and painless.I purchased a beautiful 2017 Chrysler 200 in Vivid Blue after seeing it on the lot. Couldnt be happier. Dont skip out on the best place to buy in town!
I had a great experience with Mark Thornsberry over at Smart Choice Auto Sales. It was my first car purchase and it couldnt have gone any smoother w/out Marks help, I would recommend Smart Choice Auto sales to anyone!
Good dealership with late-model cars
Mark Thornsberry was outstanding!! He was so helpful and quick with the process. Was able to drive off with my new car in under two hours!! He was so much fun to talk to and very knowledgeable.
Excellent all around. I am very impressed by the quality of their cars and trucks, the straight forward sales process and the people who work here. I had a great experience with Mark Thornsberry and will be sure to look here when my wife needs a new car.
Highly recommend this auto sales. Their used cars seem brand new. Great prices on used cars, low, low financing options & extremely knowledgeable and friendly sales staff. Trade in pricing very fair & favorable for the buyer. Definitely made the right choice!
I had been looking for a used Jeep for awhile and saw one on their site. I hate doing the song and dance that usually goes along with buying a car and from my initial contact with Will (through email) he made the experience VERY EASY and convenient for me. They waited for me to get proper paperwork on my side and then everything flowed smoothly. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Smart Choice Auto Sales to anyone looking for a quality vehicle at a reasonable price. My Jeep is great and I truly appreciate the type of service they provided.
Recently purchased a 2017 Chevy Malibu and absolutely love it! Will Gilmore was super helpful and could not have been more friendly. Made the whole experience easy and great!
Mark Thornsberry was my car purchase professional. Made the purchase a very pleasurable experience. Arranged delivery to Texas and handled all aspects of the purchase transaction remotely. Great price and awesome new Jeep JL. Thanks Mark!
If you are on the hunt for a vehicle - - - - STOP and head to Smart Choice Auto Sales before you go anywhere else! I am so HAPPY I DID! I will never go anywhere else and will send anyone I know to them as well. I had not purchased a vehicle since 2006 - I was anxious and nervous - I mean 2006 right! I was recommended to go see Will at Smart Choice and he would take good care of me...well, HE SURE DID - he made the whole process so painless and everything was done in less than 25 minutes, not to mention we shared lots of laughs and my Happy TEARS throughout...The whole gang made sure I was taken care of as well! What an exciting, wonderful and actually FUN experience I had! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my GMC Terrain - its beautiful and I run errands I dont even have to just to drive it! I wish there was a way to give Smart Choice Auto Sales 10 STARS - YOU ROCK WILL!!! Thank you to everyone at Smart Choice for helping me get the best Christmas present ever and starting 2020 out on the right foot AND tire! Happy New Year my Smart Choice Family!!! Thanks again - Dee Roggio!!!
Will stayed late to make sure we could test drive a car. Then made the entire sales process quick and painless. Very nice staff, very clean inventory.
Ive purchased two vehicles from Smart Choice Auto Sales and have been very pleased with the experience both times. They conduct themselves in a fair and straightforward manner and go the extra mile when necessary. For my transactions, their trade-in offers were in line with the industry pricing guides, and their retail prices were lower. Their vehicles are great quality and unbelievably clean. My wife says her van is the nicest vehicle shes ever owned. I recommend them to everybody. This is the kind of small business that you feel good about supporting.
A 5 Star rating for a very good auto truck and suv used vehicle sales company. I have purchased three vehicles from Smart Choice and the salesman have always been easy and kind and courteous to deal with. Mark Thornsberry was our salesman, an, also have had Will an Jason with the other two vehicles . Overall a great place to purchase a vehicle.
Just bought a new van from Mark Thornsberry at Smart Choice. I have to say that this was the most enjoyable experience I have had when buying a vehicle. They were all honest and upfront. We did not get the pressure sales tactics that you encounter at so many other places. We will definitely look to Smart Choice for any future vehicle purchases as well.
We have now bought 3 vehicles from Jason and I wouldnt go anywhere else. If they dont have what youre looking for on the lot, they find it. If you have a question, they answer it. If you want to haggle on the price, they break it down and show you every detail. They are honest, upfront, and people of integrity. Obviously thats hard to find in the car business and I recommend Smart Choice to anyone whos looking for a vehicle.Also, it doesnt end when you make the purchase. Every time Ive had to take my car to the shop, I just call Jason. He makes the appointments for me, he gets one quickly, and he always gives me a vehicle to drive in the meantime (even one that fits my family of 7!!!) For a busy mom, that perk is by far the best for us!I cant say enough good things about Smart Choice. They are awesome, trustworthy, and pleasant to deal with. Trust me, if you buy one time, you wont ever have to wonder where to go the next time!
This is a wonderful place to consider if looking for a top quality used vehicle. We are enjoying our 2016 Colorado and would like to thank Dan and Jason for being so patient while we made the decision to buy. The process has never been more pleasant or easy. We also want to thank the team in back who had the truck looking new when we drove it off the lot.
I recently bought my 2012 Volvo S60 T5 from Dan Bergmann at Smart Choice and it was such and smooth and exceptional buying experience. Dan was very professional, knew what he was talking about, and really worked with me through the whole process. I never felt any pressure whatsoever to buy, but Im happy I decided to do business with Smart Choice and Dan. Keep up the good work!
Nice cars at reasonable prices. what more could you want? sales staff is no pressure, thanks Mark Thornsberry! and the entire buying experience was one of the best in the retail auto realm that i have ever had. the staff is also readily available to help you learn the cars systems after the sale. if you need a car, Smart Choice is ready!
Shout out to Mark for helping us with the purchase of our Jeep!! We are repeat buyers of Smart Choice and will never go anywhere else. We are always treated respectful and never pressured into buying. The entire team is great to work with!!
Just bought our first vehicle from Smart Choice Auto Sales and it was a very pleasant experience. No high pressure sales, everyone was very polite and friendly and they have a good selection of vehicles. We highly recommend doing business there. Mark and Dan were very helpful!
I just purchased a great little ride from Mark Thornsberry. He was knowledgable, fair, and fun to work with. I love my vehicle, and I feel vey good about this purchase. Somebody buy Mark a sandwich!!
Wonderful experience! I was in the market for a GOOD used pick-up and two people I know recommended that I check out Smart Choice Auto Sales. Thank you Mark Thornsberry and the staff at Smart Choice for making this a stress free purchase.
Fantastic pre-owned car dealership. They have a versatile inventory for the size of lot they work on, and excellent salespeople. In the past five months my father and I have both purchased vehicles from there and we both had nothing short of an excellent experience. Would highly recommend!
Amazing service and a great place to get a used vehicle. Found my first car at Smart Choice and I am in love with my new car! Thanks Dan! :)
I purchased my first vehicle from a different dealership and went through the biggest hassle. After coming to Smart Choice Auto Sales, I realized that purchasing a car can be straight forward, honest and a good experience. I didnt feel under cut, felt that I was being well directed and I was even advised on what to do with my old car extended warranty etc and given general advice. I was walked through every step and understood everything I was signing.Overall I am very happy with my vehicle, the wonderful experience I had and I will definitely advise anyone to purchase their car or trade theirs in here. I will definitely be returning when I need anything at all with regard to my car.
Great car buying experience. The paperwork was quick and easy. The staff was helpful but not pushy. Very pleased with the car and the service received from Jason Enos at Smart Choice. Would highly recommend Smart Choice.
Highly recommend this dealer! Found a great, almost new vehicle for my wife on their website, purchased just a few hours later. Friendly, fast, and genuine about their business practices. We closed a deal with all papers signed in less than 20 minutes! That is unheard of at a regular car dealer! Thanks again for a great buying experience!
Jason and his team are top notch. Me and my BF have done lots of business with them. we are DEFINATELY repeat customers (multiple times)
My husband and I went to Smart Choice Auto Sales to get a new car. Not only did Mark Thornsberry help us find a car that was perfect for us, he also helped us with our car that broke down in their parking lot! We have never had a car salesman go so above and beyond what he had to do to help us. THE best experience we have ever had at a car dealership. We will definitely be back for our future auto purchases.Thanks again Mark! ☺
This place is excellent! Nothing hidden, no pressure and fantastic service! If youre looking for a new to you vehicle, these guys are the way to go. I dealt with Will Gilmore and he was more than Great!
Let me start off by saying this was the fastest I have ever purchased a car and been back on the road. From the time we drove onto the lot until we were leaving with the car was 45 minutes.We purchase a 2009 Ford Escape from them and what a great experience. No haggle, good price and easy to deal with. We did have a problem with the car and brought it back and they took care of it no questions asked.New and used car dealers need to look at how these people do business and take notes!!!
Good people, good prices, no pressure. The fastest car buying experience Ive ever had. Why does it take other dealerships hours to complete the paperwork?
My husband and I have bought 2 cars from here and have been nothing but satisfied with both experiences. They are super friendly and helpful. Not once did we feel pressured or like we werent getting a great deal. You will be in and out in no time...car buying has never been easier than at Smart Choice! You will not be disappointed with a purchase from them! Thanks for great service x2!
We bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee from Mark Thornsberry with Smart Choice Auto Sales. He replied to all my requests promptly and was very accommodating in getting the extras I wanted added to my car. They were very professional and helpful during the entire process.
Garbage... have the extended warranty and the warranty hasnt paid for anything thats went wrong with my truck so far... Told a friend about the place and he also purchased a Camaro and the transmission went out had the same warranty I had and they didnt want to give him a dime... Had to get his lawyer involved and now the conversation goes on as of now its a 70-30 split to purchase the transmission... Customer service was great the guys were excellent its just the vehicles are garbage
Such an easy hassle free process. We felt like we paid a fair price. Make sure to talk to Mark Thornberry. He is knowledgeable and very nice to deal with.
Excellent Experience! Thank You Mark Thornsberry! Mark was professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and priced right! My husband and I did our research and had been to several dealerships and driven several same make cars and we drove the hour to see Mark and we certainly made the right choice. If you are looking for a respectable dealer this is it! They pride themselves on word of mouth referrals and I have no doubt it works! I honestly can say what a pleasure it was doing business with Mark! Pictures to come - too cold out right now LOL The Hakes
Mark at Smart Choice handled my purchase very professionally. I was an out of state buyer so the transaction was a bit challenging but Mark made the process very smooth and kept me informed throughout. I strongly recommend Mark and Smart Choice Auto!Mike M.
The staff is very professional and helpful!! Will was our salesperson and had all of our paperwork ready to go whenever we got there to purchase our vehicle. I highly recommend this dealership. We will continue doing business with them in the years to come!
My husband & I would highly recommend Smart Choice Auto Sales in Godfrey IL for your next new to you automotive purchase.I found my vehicle of choice on their web site & communicated with a sales associate named Will by email. We made arrangements to visit the dealership, which was an hour & half drive from our home. We were pleasantly surprised by the clean, neat & well organized display of vehicles & the office & shop as well.The vehicle I was interested in had been brought to the front & was ready for a test drive. We did encounter an issue on the test drive but Will immediately went over & above to correct the issue. Needless to say, we made our deal & brought our new Kia Sedona home. Thank you to Will & to all the friendly staff in the dealership & the shop. It was a pleasure doing business with you all.
Had terrible experience with customer service. Would not recommend .
I purchased a 2012 ford crew cab FX4 in September. I didnt even have to go to the lot! We talked on the phone and Will brought me the truck. His knowledge was outstanding. I just wish we had more time to visit when he dropped it off. Good People, Great price and Fantastic service. Thanks again.
Mark Thornsberry was great! To the point and willing to make it work for us. Will be back to buy another vehicle in the future!
Smart Choice is a great place to purchase a vehicle. They give you a great price on your trade and have superior prices for their low mile vehicles. Jason is honest and cares a lot about the consumer!
Great service, Mark did an excellent job. Would recommend Smart Choice to all my friends and family. Easy, quick, and fair deal.
If you are in need of a vehicle this is the place to go. Jason and his team are the best in the business. I have purchased 3 vehicles from here and I will definitely be back for the next ones.
Excellent service and knowledgeable staff. Their preowned vehicles are better detailed than many of the new vehicles Ive bought over the years! Just an overall great business. Keep it up!
Great service! The best Ive ever received. Will keep them in mind for my next purchase.
High quality, great condition cars and trucks were the first thing I noticed. Having spent 5 yrs in pre-owned car sales I can be picky at times. My salesman Mark was an absolute professional and very sharp. Easy to talk to and a very good listener. I had brought his a mess on a platter and he was able to clean it up and I drove away in the truck of my dreams at the payment I hoped for. Not an easy task. Also, very fair on my trade in. Would buy from Mark and Smart Choice Autos again!
Jason and Danny are great they will do all that they can to help you get your vehicle that you want and if you have a problem they stand behind their cars highly recommend
We have bought two cars from Smart Choice and will be back for many more, Im sure! Wil was awesome to work with! After looking at 3 different local dealers, we ended up purchasing the exact vehicle from Smart Choice that we were planning on getting elsewhere because Smart Choice had a model year newer with less mileage for the same price! We never felt pressured by Wil and he let me take the car home to show my husband without him escorting me. He said we could keep it for the afternoon and test it out, which I thought was awesome! I hate test driving with the salesman who is constantly talking and asking when we can sign the papers! Smart Choice isnt like that! They are very friendly and helpful and we never once felt pressured!
Great people, super clean, and well organized. Always recommended if you are looking for a vehicle!
We worked with Mark Thornsberry when we bought our vehicle from Smart Choice. Mark was prompt and had our paperwork ready for signature when we decided on the vehicle.
Great customer service and quick buying process. Mark Thornsberry was great to do business with.
Great sales staff, fair prices, prompt service
5 starts does not do justice to this review! Yesterday I totaled my 2010 Ford Explorer in Iowa by hitting 2 deer... yep 2 DEER! I drive almost 2 hours a day and HAD TO HAVE a vehicle. Our many hours on the internet looking for exactly what we wanted and needed in our next vehicle led us to Mark Thornsberry at Smart Choice Auto. The only problem was this was 4 1/2 hours away from our home. We have never shopped online before and Mark had his work cut out for him. After several phone calls with about 50 questions per phone call we decided to travel the 4 1/2 hours to look at it. Mark’s positive attitude was what won our business over the other car dealerships with the same vehicle. When we arrived the next day the car was warm and waiting for us to thoroughly inspect. The Carfax report was there for us to look at as well. The 2011 Ford Explorer was everything Mark said it was plus more. Mark noticed a speaker blown and didn’t even hesitate to order a new one and have it sent to our home town for replacement. It’s small businesses like this that deserve my business over larger companies. Thank you Mark for all your hard work and thank you Will for the directions you printed us so we could get home to our kids quicker. God Bless you all! You both deserve a STEAK DINNER from Jason. ☺️ Merry Christmas!
Just bought our 5th vehicle from Smart Choice Auto from Mark Thornsberry! Gtreat sales consultant, great place to buy a used vehicle!
Excellent place to purchase a car. Nice staff and helps with getting a loan.
I have bought my last 2 vehicles from smart choice they sell only quality vehicles at affordable prices. Very very satisfied!
Everything! We have purchased 8 or more vehicles from these gentlemen and have never been disappointed. Service after the sale is the best we have experienced.
Jason Enos and the team at Smart Choice Auto Sales were very professional during my most recent vehicle transaction. They were very prompt, knowledgable, and curtious to me as a customer. I would recommend them to anyone and plan to do business with them again in the future.
Clean autos, facility, and people who will do whatever need be to keep you satisfied...straight forward with no hidden agenda
Mark Thornsberry was the best!! Highly recommend.
