Smart Automotive of Davenport

We just bought a 2021 Hyundai Tucson from Sam Weets at Smart Automotive and he was so great to work with. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the car. Plus, Michelle in financing was amazing!

It was a last minute decision to look at cars & possibly but one. Zina came over, listened to what we needed & we test drove 3 cars with no stress or pushing from her. The one we fell in love with was actually leaving the lot as it had been sitting there too long, but she worked with the manager & us to hold the vehicle back until we could get the financing situated with our bank & we went home so very happy 3 days later. She even called me yesterday to check in and see if there was anything we needed or of we had any questions on the vehicle. She was great to work with & our vehicle is a dream!

Do not buy here! Buyer Beware!!!!!! My husband and I needed a car ( I had no credit, and he didn’t have the best credit) we dealt with a salesman Named Micheal . Long story short, he sold us a GMC Envoy that had major mechanical issues in December 2015 after constantly telling us during our test drive, that the weird noise we heard, was the wheel barring. 6 days after buying, while On my way to Chicago, my rear differentials gave out while I was on I-80 near mininooka. After fighting with them about getting it towed back to Davenport, they finally let us use a loaner van for a week until they could find us another vehicle because they said that the repair cost, wasn’t worth fixing on the envoy. They eventually found us a Ford Explorer the first week of Jan 2016. Unfortunately for us , in august of 2016 the Ford started exhibiting bad undercarriage issues and the take off was ruff. We took the vehicle to Dahl Ford who advised us that we couldn’t legally drive the car off the lot because the car was unsafe. We had suspension issues, engine, trans you name it! We talked with this dealer who At the time went by “drivers choice” and they shrugged us off! After exhausting all options and being told our repair cost out of pocket, with insurance would cost more than the vehicle, We scheduled a voluntary repo with the financing company “Credit Acceptance”. Fast forward to 2021 as we’re rebuilding our credit we realize that the predatory financing company that came so “highly recommended” claimed they never repoed the vehicle because when they called the lot where we initially bought the vehicle, the manager told them that we didn’t have an expensive repair cost which was a lie because we didn’t even have the vehicle serviced there! So that lie prompted credit acceptance to cancel the scheduled repo. Credit acceptance has reported on my husband’s credit as a current delinquent installment for over 5 years. They won’t close the account without paying the full balance or a settlement account. We are waiting for our original SIGNED contract to come in the mail, that stated that we agreed to pay 9000 something for a 3600 dollar vehicle. Credit acceptance says our contract stated that we agreed to that exorbitant amount an We our a million percent sure that that is not what we signed. Under the guise of smiles and assurance that we’d build our credit and that they wanted to help us, we were used as pawns to pay someone a 1000 down payment for a vehicle that they sold responsibility off to another company for. If I had the knowledge that I possess now, I would not look once at this place. Run fast and don’t look back.

We went to Smart Kia to look at a used vehicle. Zina came right over to us to help us. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend seeing Zina or anyone at Smart Kia. Everyone in the dealership was courteous and professional.

Buying cars is no fun. Having said that, Angela Wilson at Drivers Choice made my experience painless!! She was great to work with, not pushy and understood everything I did and didnt want. She was able to get me into a great car at the price point I needed. I will definitely go back to her once I'm ready to buy again.
