I'm here to tell you that Jared at Smart Buy has saved me from my life of severe anxiety stemming from my bad credit and the horrible cycle I was in of working my tail off and walking or taking the bus everywhere just to never have anything to show for it. My life completely changed for the better the day I met Jared. Not only did he help me get an amazing car but he had a great bankruptcy lawyer referral, very reasonable car insurance lined up, and a financial new beginning process that works just like he explained it would as long as I put in some effort to follow his advice. I go back every 3 to 6 months or so and review and receive new suggestions from him. Jared delivered on every magical word that came from his mouth and I am a customer for life and I'm sending him every person I know who wants an incredibly honest deal on a high quality newer car right away.I never told him this but I walked into Smart Buy Auto that day hoping to get a "buy here pay here" car loan, with high interest and 2 payments a month. He could've sold me any car at any price and I would have said yes. BUT... He didn't, rather he did the opposite of take advantage of me and treated me like his brother and still does to this day. Please, save yourself a lot of time and anguish and just go talk to Jared. Fill out the credit application on the web site and he will call you and have you go in and Boom!!. Your life will change for the better just like mine has.

Called about a few vehicles I was interested in but after exchanging messages back and forward with someone. I never got a reply about what I was inquiring about. Such a lack of unprofessionalism. Didn't realize I had to be in a club, association, group or whatever you want to call it. For a business with a lot of great reviews I wanted to see if they could help me out too bad. Just feel disappointed.

I have had bad experience after bad experience with car dealerships in general. The thing I hate the most is that they are friendly until they pull your credit and know they will have issues getting a deal for you. Not so with Smart Buy Auto. Jared is up front and honest with you. I had a chapter 7 and became of Markosian I had to file a chapter 13. Jared worked closely with me getting me into a reliable car. Other dealerships could only get me a car that was 2016-2017. Jared got me a 2019 and a 2020. His car selections may be limited but I never have had to replace parts on one of his cars after I bought it unless it was a maintenance part. He is trustworthy, honest, helps where he can, and gives great advice on building your credit back up. If I could give him 10 stars I would! I will be a return customer probably for as long as he is in business!!

Jarod at Smart Buy Auto is the best car salesman in Ogden. He went over and beyond to get my daughter into a safe car that she could afford. one that will hold its value for a while. He is very knowledgeable and willing to give guidance to ensure that the customer is getting the best deal possible. I personally wouldn't want to with anyone else. Thank-You very much Jarod!

Jared is the man! I was in a tight spot with my chapter 13 bankruptcy and getting a new car with certain stipulations. He did everything in his power and got me into a nice reliable car. He knows what he’s doing and can help anyone especially with a bankruptcy and bad credit. He has also been helping work on my credit and raising my score. I am a lifetime customer and won’t be getting a car anywhere else again!

Jared I honestly can't thank you enough for you're help. Honestly was getting discouraged that it just wasn't gonna happen for me. But knowing you did everything to help made me feel comfortable in trusting to buy from a dealership again I appreciate you're honesty more than anything and helping me to get back on track. I will definitely be sure to recommend family and friends. Thanks again

Great guy, great service. Transparent about the entire process. Working his credit program which most dealers do not offer. After hitting financial hardship Jared really went out of his way to help my family and I making sure we made the right decision. One thing I really like about him is he isn’t into pushing you into a vehicle you really cannot afford. There are so many dealers out there that will tell you “you can refinance in 3 or 6 months to lower the payment”. What they do not tell you is it most likely won’t lower that payment you were uncomfortable with in the first place. We left the dealership with a nice vehicle and not worrying about how we will make these payments in 4 months. If your in a financial bind or even if your not go to Jared. He has earned a lifetime customer. Thanks!

I just purchased my second car from Jared. The first experience was so amazing that I flew from Dallas TX just to buy a car from him and turned around and drove the car back to Dallas. I absolutely love working with Jared and am extremely thankful for meeting him and all of his help. He makes a stressful, long, annoying process so easy and painless. He’s extremely honest and won’t sell you a car he isn’t 100% comfortable with. Both times I went in expecting to come out with a car I wasn’t in love with and was just settling on because I needed a car however both times I ended up with a car I absolutely love. Jared is so great at working with the banks to get you approved and will work hard to get you the lowest rate possible. You can tell he is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely wants to help you get into a car you will love and that will work for your family. I may live out of state but I won’t go anywhere else to buy a car. I will most definitely be back!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Jared & Smart Buys Auto! I went into this super reluctant and had a lot of anxiety over getting a car during bankruptcy. Jared was so helpful, informative and genuinely wanted the best for me in a car and helping rebuild my credit. I ended up with a way nicer car than I have ever had and feel great about my growth moving forward.

I meant to write a review a long time ago but better late than never I guess. This is my second time buying a car from Smart Buy Auto and it is always such a great experience. So much so that I'm willing to drive an hour from Salt Lake just to buy a car from here rather than any other dealerships in Salt Lake City. Both times Jared has made the process of buying a car simple and painless. He gets all of our information ahead of time and we are usually in and out with a new car in an hour or so. I've never experienced that before EVER at another dealership. It's always at least a day long ordeal and so many hoops to jump through to get approved. We always get a great deal and something that works with our budget. Jared even helped us get approved for a car right after a bankruptcy. I would highly recommend Smart Buy Auto to anyone and everyone!! I love my new car!! Check them out, you won't regret it

After 2 other dealerships taking our car away from us because the banks wouldn’t fund the loan, Smart Buy had a funding approval on the spot. He’s worked hard to get that funding too! Not only got us in a vehicle for good, he explained each step through the entire process (instead of hiding in an office) and showed us the secrets to getting our credit score up. If you want a car, tired of being told no, dealerships forcing a car you don’t want, then come to Smart Buy and let Jared take care of you. He won’t let you down!

Highly recommend buying here. Jared is honest, straight forward, knowledgeable, and will work hard to get you the best deal possible. He was able to get my rate cut in half! Definitely will be back again.

Bought my Jeep from him and it’s been a vehicle I love and have an attachment to. It was the perfect vehicle for me and I’m glad he pushed me towards this vehicle for my purchase.

If you've recently filed bankruptcy, throw away all the junk mail you receive from other dealerships. Jared is not going to take advantage of your situation & he's not going to try to sell you all the extra bells & whistles that would put you upside down in your vehicle. He wants to help you get your credit back on track! You would be crazy to go to anyone else!!
