Real Cash Offers & Trade Values at Both Rooftops

Faster, Safer Than Craigslist

Skip the strangers, no-shows, and lowball offers. Our appraisers are Chevrolet and Ford brand-trained, we handle payoff and title work in-house, and you walk out with a check or trade credit the same day.

Real Cash Offers, Not Lowballs

Our appraisals use live auction and market data, not just book values. We compete with CarMax, Carvana, and private-party offers — bring your best written offer and we'll do everything we can to match or beat it.

Trade In or Sell Outright — Your Choice

Trade in against any new Chevrolet at Smart Chevrolet or any new Ford at Smart Ford, use your trade equity against any used vehicle on either lot, or just sell your car to us for cash. No purchase required.

We Buy Every Make and Model

Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Toyota, Honda, Ram, Jeep, Nissan, Hyundai — we buy all makes and models regardless of where you bought it. Bring your vehicle, keys, title (or payoff info), and photo ID.

We'll Pay Off Your Loan

Still making payments? We'll pay off your existing loan directly to the lender and cut you a check for the equity difference. Upside-down on your loan? Ask us — we can often work the negative equity into a new trade deal.

Two Rooftops Serving Sellers Across NC & VA

Smart Auto Group is a family-owned two-rooftop dealership serving drivers across North Carolina and Virginia. Smart Chevrolet is at 4417 NC-704 in Madison, NC — 30 minutes north of Greensboro, 35 minutes northeast of Winston-Salem, and serving Rockingham County, Reidsville, Eden, Burlington, Kernersville, and High Point. Smart Ford is at 1011 Commerce Lane in South Boston, VA — 30 minutes east of Danville, about an hour southeast of Lynchburg, and serving Halifax County, Martinsville, Roxboro, and the Southside region. Both stores buy cars, trucks, and SUVs from any make — bring your vehicle, we'll write you a real offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy a car to sell you mine?


No. Smart Chevrolet and Smart Ford both buy cars outright with no purchase required. Bring your vehicle to Madison, NC or South Boston, VA — we'll appraise it and write you a check or process a trade-in against another vehicle, whichever you prefer.

How is your offer different from Carvana, CarMax, or KBB?


KBB values are book estimates and Carvana/CarMax use algorithms with no in-person inspection. Our appraisers do a physical inspection on your vehicle and use live wholesale auction data plus regional market demand to write a real offer. Bring your Carvana, CarMax, or KBB offer with you and we'll do everything we can to match or beat it.

Do you buy cars if I'm not near Madison, NC or South Boston, VA?


Yes. Sellers regularly drive to us from Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Reidsville, Eden, High Point, Kernersville, Danville, Lynchburg, Martinsville, Roxboro, and across Halifax County. If you're 60 minutes or less from either rooftop, it's worth the trip — bring your keys, title (or payoff info), and photo ID.

Do you buy cars with a loan on them?


Yes. We'll pay off your existing auto loan directly to the lender and cut you a check for any positive equity. If you owe more than your car is worth (upside-down), we can often work the negative equity into a new trade deal — ask our team when you come in.

What do I need to bring to sell my car?


Bring the vehicle, all sets of keys, your driver's license (photo ID), and either the clear title or the name of the bank that holds your loan payoff. If you're trading in, bring proof of insurance and any owner's manuals or service records if you have them.

Will you buy my F-150, Silverado, or diesel truck?


Yes. We buy Ford F-150s, F-250s, F-350s, Chevrolet Silverados, Silverado HDs, Duramax and Powerstroke diesel trucks — plus GMC, Ram, and Toyota Tundras. Trucks in good mechanical condition with clean titles are in strong demand at both stores.

How long does the appraisal take?


Most appraisals take 15-20 minutes in person. If you filled out the online form ahead of time, we'll have a preliminary number ready when you arrive and just need to verify condition. Same-day offers, same-day payment or trade credit.
