I LOVE Car Mart! They made buying our Tundra easy & were able to help us out with putting my son in his 1st pickup. The tax season help with no strings attached was awesome as well! Car Mart will be our only place to purchase vehicles going forward.
Christian G.
I desperately needed a vehicle when … I planned to do the File & Drive event, because I didn’t have money for a down payment. … Not only did they work around my schedule, they answered my questions, they filed my taxes, and I even got approved for a tax refund advance! They turned a nerve-racking process into a fun process & I got an awesome vehicle to drive now! THANK YALL SO MUCH!!!

If you are looking to buy a car I would recommend going here and letting them help you and get you into something that will fit your budget. Also it’s tax season, so go to Car-Mart and let them file your taxes and see if you can get approved for an early cash advanced.
