From the time they picked me up at the hotel until I drove away, I never once felt like I was just another sale. The sales staff at Dave Smith Motors are top notch, second to none! Thanks Clint for an awesome experience! More

Dave Shep Sheppard was totally prepared for us from making us feel at ease thru to and including vehicle prep prior to our drive home. The Service , Parts and Accessories, to the Finance Crews were as well on top of their game. The best selection of trucks we considered made our shopping experience as simple as our buying experience. Thank You Shep and all of the others that made our experience there a pleasure.

Not the dave smith experience I was hoping for To start off, I had been wanting to buy a truck from Dave Smith since 1998 when I drove past to go to college. I found the truck I had been looking To start off, I had been wanting to buy a truck from Dave Smith since 1998 when I drove past to go to college. I found the truck I had been looking for, 2016 2500 Ram 5.7 hemi with all the whistles and bells. I hadn't bee able to find this engine at local dealerships. So I filled the form out online and a salesperson called me. Heather was kind and seemed genuine. We agreed on a price and I had financing in place with USAA. I had noticed in the pictures that there was some damage to a leather seat. I asked if that could be repaired or start the warranty process to get it repaired as soon as possible. At that time she told me, hold on let me get some pictures and see if it is even damaged. 3-4 days later she got some pictures, it wasn't in the area where I had noticed damage, but she reassure me that the truck was nice and smelled new and to rest easy there was no damage. I said ok, we got the deposit rolling and I set a date to meet up with her. I was headed to Washington to pick up my children from Grandmas. So, the start of the process was around July 25th and I set the date with her Saturday August 5th. I called almost daily to make sure everything was in order and we were good to go. I asked what she needed from me to make sure the process was as smooth as possible since I was driving 8 hours and had to continue another 4 hours after I picked the truck up. So we set a time of 3pm for that day. I texted when I was leaving that morning, that I had forgotten about the time difference and would arrive around two. She responded with ok, I texted when I got to Missoula, she responded with "sweet!" I arrive in Kellog and it was pretty crazy so I texted "where do I go" no response... so I proceed to find parking. As I'm parking a service guy backs into a customer's hitch and is in a pissy mood, I am almost ready to leave at this point already because of all the chaos going on, but of course I see my new truck all shiny and ready to go in the front row. I proceed to find Heather, I go into one building and ask so they direct me to her location. When I got to her sales desk everyone looked at me like I had two heads, No "welcome to dave smith how can I help you" I asked where heather was, they tried to call her no answer, no one knew where she was. So I asked one of the sales person's if he wouldn't mind letting me go for a test drive, we found the keys and 'Antone' with his new trainee 'Mel' went for a test drive with me. Antone went above and beyond, I wasn't his sale he didn't have to be nice or take the time to help me, but he did. So I give Antone 5 Stars. He was professional and had a lot of knowledge with what I was buying. So we return from the test drive and Heather is at her desk, with another customer, which I understand it's a Saturday and things are busy. She barely acknowledged me once she found out who I was and offered me some water and or coffee... sh also said she had a warm Mountain Dew?!? I didn't care for any...Norm the boss had to test drive my trade in and take pictures of it so he was doing that...(he locked my keys in it while he was doing that) things happen. So, I arrived at 2pm, we are sitting at 3 now which was my Original time to arrive. Heather is dealing with another customer (who I find out is an employee as I'm sitting in the corner waiting) so of course I become a little frustrated... I start watching and listening to the atmosphere. I was pretty disgusted by the unprofessionalism and shop talk. I talked to AJ as he walked in and out to use the computer, I was impressed with his work ethic and taking the time to talk to me. So, there I was 4pm arrived still no movement in starting the process, she did have my file folder sitting on her desk, which said "Yee-Haw" whether that was because I was from Wyoming or it had a part of my last name in it, funny I guess but with the totality of all the circumstances I was disgusted... I had been there for two hours, no movement on the vehicle deal, I had been working with her on the phone for about 2 weeks, and had financing in place. Finally around 415 she's able to show me the tour which is required. I meet Jeff in service, I give Jeff 5 stars he was professional and had the gift of gab! Nice guy! Next we go to Parts, I meet Mark, again 5 stars, great guy and we talked about a lot of things betweeen packing horses, ranching and the truck I was buying. He even took the time to help me install the mats I got for the truck he gave me a couple hats and was just an all around good professional guy. I get back into heather's corner she's dealing with her employee deal again and asks me to sit in the chair behind her and she will get back to me in a bit. She asks if someone can move my new truck around I tell her the only one that I will be ok with moving the truck is Antone since my personal stuff was in there" again he was happy to help. I ask if I can switch over my XM radio to the truck. She says fine, since she's busy. At this time we are sitting at 5pm, I just want to sign papers and get out so I can get on the road before dark. Finally as I'm finishing up with xm radio she says we are ready. So she escorts me to financing and sits me down while I wait for signing. I get in Jason's office at 515. He could tell I was frustrated. So we got to signing and went through the process. Jason again was five star when it came to professionalism and addressing the needs of a customer. We had documents signed within 30 mins shook hands and I was on my way. Thank you Jason! So, here I am an exact week later from signing for the truck. The truck had approx 19k miles on it. Remember the seat issue I asked about originally? Well, someone was dishonest and covered it up with some quick leather fixer paint... it's already rubbed off. So instead of being honest when I approached Heather about it, someone covered it up so either A.) they didn't have to deal with the warranty ordeal or B.) didn't want me to back out of the deal. I am completely and utterly disgusted. I would have dealt with someone and been happier with the outcome of even having it covered up the same way, knowing how to cover it up when it rubs off. But to have someone do this just for the sale is gross. I still love the truck, but we have 4 Rams at our house so I knew what I wanted, just not happy with the experience to get there. More

Our salesman Corey was extremely slow responding to our questions. At times it took several days to get a response.. He always had some excuse. We are happy with our truck and I cant speak for all there sales staff. We are happy this is all over and we finally got our truck 6 weeks after we paid deposit. I would buy a vehicle from this dealership again only because there price is great. I would not work with Corey Johnson again. More
