Program Overview: The Core Pillars of SmartBuy

The SmartBuy program is built to remove uncertainty from the pre-owned purchase process. Before a vehicle earns the SmartBuy designation, it is inspected, reconditioned, documented, and priced with transparency in mind.

  • 150-Point Quality Assurance Inspection by certified technicians
  • CARFAX Vehicle History Report included with every vehicle
  • Professional hand-wash, wax, interior cleaning, and reconditioning
  • Paint touch-ups and paintless dent repair when needed
  • Internet Value Pricing based on real-time market data
  • Full tank of gas provided at delivery

Our team examines key mechanical and cosmetic components, including the engine, transmission, braking system, interior electronics, and safety features. This attention to detail helps create a pre-owned shopping experience grounded in facts rather than guesswork.

How the SmartBuy Process Works

For pre-owned shoppers in Winston-Salem, Lexington, Charlotte, and surrounding North Carolina communities, the SmartBuy process is designed to be clear and convenient:

  1. Browse our pre-owned selection online or visit our showroom on Peters Creek Pkwy.
  2. Review SmartBuy tier details and the CARFAX Vehicle History Report for your chosen vehicle.
  3. Take advantage of Internet Value Pricing based on thousands of automotive websites polled every hour.
  4. Use our online trade-in tool to estimate the value of your current vehicle.
  5. Begin the process with our online credit application.
  6. Drive home with a full tank of gas and the backing of the SmartBuy program.

Not quite the right fit once it is in your driveway? Our 3-Day/300-Mile Vehicle Exchange Program allows you to exchange your purchase for another qualifying in-stock pre-owned model, subject to approved financing.

Navigating the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Tiers

The SmartBuy program categorizes inventory into three distinct levels based on age and mileage, giving you a clear understanding of each vehicle’s condition and coverage.

  • Gold Tier: Fewer than 80,000 miles and less than 8 years old. Includes 12-Month/12,000-Mile Powertrain Coverage, 1-Month/1,000-Mile Platinum Coverage, two keys, and a $0 deductible.
  • Silver Tier: 80,000 to 120,000 miles or 8 to 12 years old. Includes 3-Month/3,000-Mile Powertrain Coverage, two keys, and a $0 deductible.
  • Bronze Tier: Over 120,000 miles or older than 12 years. Bronze models remain focused on value while still completing the SmartBuy inspection process.

This tiered system allows you to select a vehicle that aligns with your needs, whether you prioritize a nearly new model, added warranty protection, or a lower price point.

Additional Benefits Exclusive to SmartBuy Vehicles

  • $0 Deductible: Gold and Silver covered repairs do not require out-of-pocket deductible costs.
  • Towing Allowance: Up to $100 to help transport the vehicle to the service center for qualifying covered repairs.
  • Free Rental Car: Up to five days of rental support at $35 per day during warranty-covered service.
