Predatory financing practices exposed
Title withheld for months
Aggressive payment collection tactics

Unfair interest rates applied

Smart Motors fails their customers. Predatory financing practices. I have seen these documents. They are designed to trap. Title withheld for months. I know someone who could not register. Aggressive payment collection tactics. Threatening phone calls. Then, the killswitch. A car that stops mid-drive. That leaves buyers stranded. And all of this at unfair interest rates that shock me. This might be legal. But it is not fair. Buyers deserve clarity. Smart Motors offers confusion and danger. Avoid. There is no honesty here. No integrity you can hold. If you need a car, look anywhere else. These use dangerous tactics. Do not sign near them.
