Confessions of a Used Car Salesman!

This article reprinted courtesy of Edmunds.com......It's been a number of years now since I sold cars for my undercover series "Confessions of a Car Salesman." I've been pleased and, frankly, amazed at how many readers have found the articles entertaining and informative.

Testimonial

Being a 16 year old girl who knows nothing about cars was pretty difficult when I was looking to buy my first car. I looked for months without having any luck before I came to Smarchoice. From the first time I walked on to their lot until I bought my car, everyone at Smartchoice was being patient with me and helping me find exactly what I was looking for. All of their cars looked like they were brand new. I'd especially like to thank DJ for dealing with my "pickiness" and making my first car buying experience a great one. I will definitely recommend Smartchoice to my friends when they are looking to buy their first cars too!

About Smart Choice Auto Sales, Inc. Who are we?

Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Curtis Bolin and I am the owner of Smart Choice 222 and Smart Choice 61 Auto Sales. We are a family owned and operated used car dealership. I have been in the automotive business for over 30 years. I started as a lot attendant, worked in reconditioning, helped sell cars, gradually worked my way up to Sales Manager at a local used car lot in the Allentown area, and then decided a few years ago, it was finally time for me to be my own boss. I started with one car lot and a few cars and expanded to two dealerships to better serve Berks County and the surrounding areas.

Along with my brother DJ. (sales and reconditioning), longtime friend Corinne (sales and customer service) and my wife Karen (book-keeping and "go-for") we don't have the 'overhead' the new car dealership's have. Unlike them, when you buy a vehicle from us, the costs of purchasing that vehicle don’t get divided up among the salesman, the used car manager, the general manager, the owner, the Finance and Insurance department, the reconditioning department, the controller, the receptionist, the title clerk and the list goes on. At Smart Choice, you buy direct from the owner and save the 'middle team'. We sell for less, it's that simple! Don't you want to keep that extra money in your own pocket?

We run our Mom & Pop business with old time values. The customer always comes first; we're here to serve you. We don't have tent sales, don't give away free TV's and don't hide anything in fine print. If you don't see a vehicle that suits your needs, we'll find one for you. We offer competitive finance rates for Tier 1 customers and also to those that trying to rebuild their credit. We offer free Autocheck reports on all our vehicles to insure confidence in your investment. Click on the Autocheck icon to give you a full background report. We also offer free loaner cars when you require warranty work or service on your vehicle. At our 222 location we have a heated showroom where you can view your vehicle out of the elements.

We pride ourselves in our reputation of serving our customers with the dignity and respect they deserve. As a consumer, you can have confidence in knowing you're getting the best deal and service with your purchase. We believe if you make one person happy with their purchase, they'll recommend you to a friend. If you make one person unhappy, they'll tell 100 friends about their bad experience. We make it easy. We don't call ourselves Smart Choice for nothing!

Thank you for visiting our website and to all our friends and repeat customers who have purchased vehicles. We look forward to welcoming you to the Smart Choice family.
