Lucas Smith Chrysler Center
Festus, MO
472 Reviews
Lucas-Smith Chrysler Center is the modern name for a historic DeSoto-Plymouth dealership that began on South Mill Street, Festus in 1939. Founded by Roy Lucas; a pilot, trucker, mechanic and farmer, it is now owned by Butch Lucas and Dennis Smith and managed by Brad Smith. The store moved to its current location at 1600 Parkway West, Festus in 1999. After 40 years as a Dodge dealership, the store became a Dodge, Ram, Jeep, and Chrysler dealership in 2009.
The success of the store, when so many others have come and gone, is owed to its award winning service department. The governing rule of our service department is "Customers Come First!" The majority of our customers are friends, but all deserve to be treated that way. The last thing we want to do is disappoint them. The service department is not operated as a profit center; it really is a service to our customers.
Sponsoring local schools is an example of how we spend thousands of dollars to support our community. We are just very glad to be in a position to do those things. There have been some tough times over the years but this store has survived to be one of the oldest business in the Festus area. Our success is largely due to what Mr. Lucas used to preach: "If you take care of your customers the dollars will take care of themselves."

I went to Lucas Smith as the second dealer on my truck search, and I should’ve just gone there first. Rick was great to work with, and he didn’t pressure me at all, which is exactly what I needed.

I flew to St.louus to buy my car from this dealership. One because my son works there and two because that's where I have bought several cats from in the last 25 years. I will never again buy a thing One because my son works there and two because that's where I have bought several cats from in the last 25 years. I will never again buy a thing from these people. They, accept Carol and Jd, were absolutely rude to me. I was treated as if I was doing them a favor. They never once even said thank you. I will tell everyone how I was treated. Don't waste your time. They certainly dont care about treating their repeated customers with any kind of respect. Jackie in finance was especially rude and arrogant. I say, if you dont like working in the public. Go find another job!. More
