Customer Testimonials


I bought my car from Jack Schmitt Chevrolet in Wood River this past Monday, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish!
From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel welcomed and appreciated. My salesperson was professional, attentive, and genuinely interested in helping me find the right vehicle—no pushy sales tactics, just honest guidance. They listened to what I wanted and helped me choose a car that fits my needs and lifestyle.
The buying process was smooth and transparent. All paperwork was explained clearly, and every step was handled efficiently. They offered fair pricing ... Read More Google - Jul 10, 2025

Salesman Jeff Barrows made my purchase from out of state no less, easy and stress free. Answering all my questions and working a deal I was comfortable committing to. Highly recommend this dealership.

I highly recommend this dealership and, in particular, Chris Louth as your sales representative. I purchased two fleet trucks from him this week, and he made the process so easy for me. Traveling 3 hours from the Lake of the Ozarks was worth the drive for the professionalism I was shown. I will be back for future purchases for my fleet.


I just love the staff on how professional they are when I take my car there. The wait is not bad since they do check my car over. I had a friend take my car up there this last time and he too was very pleased of how everything was from the time he walked into the building to the time he left. I do want to thank the staff for all their hard work that they do to make sure customers are satisfied!

Chris Louth took care of my land surveying business in Florissant MO very nicely and painlessly.

We were working with Jack Schmitt Chevy on a used car as we are not from the area. Unfortunately after undergoing their inspection the car did not work out (nothing done on their part). Jeff, Katie were very transparent about the car and went above and beyond to let us know. I am overly impressed with the honesty of the people at this dealership and I would absolutely work with them again in the future.

Highly recommend this Jack Schmitt in woodriver Ill Chevy dealer very honest people. Ask for Terry Birch he explained things to me , very honest highly recommend him when buying a car. Give him 5 stars everyday

A few snags along the path to resolve my issue but my service person (Jason) was awesome dealing with the warranty company on getting issue resolved. Great Job Jason! Thank You, William Buelow

Very friendly and understanding about speaking up since my hearing aids wasn't picking up very well . They even text me while I was waiting to see if I needed anything. Which I really appreciated.

I got a Ford Transit from there yesterday, and the process was quick and smooth. Christian was absolutely great—he’s not pushy, very genuine, and I never felt cornered or pressured like you sometimes can with salespeople. Ask for him when you go—he’s a fantastic salesperson, and you won’t regret it!


Great experience. Purchased a used van for a good price and worked with Jeff in sales. Attentive and professional with a solid background in auto sales. I recommend both him and the dealership to anyone looking at a car here. I have bought many and this purchase stands out as one of the most straightforward and quickest.

I have to say Julion was great to deal with. I'm not a fan of car sales people but he was great. Friendly, respectful, and truely wanted us to be happy with our choice. I highly recommend him. Cars are expensive enough these days without the added stress. Thank you Julion.

Christian was an excellent salesman, so glad I got to work with him. He answered all my questions and made the car buying experience easy. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a car. Go here and ask for him!!

They worked with me to make sure i got the car I wanted in a timely fashion, even going out of their way to make sure my sick husband didn't have to leave the house.

I want to thank Willie and Lynessa for helping my husband and I buy our new 2024 Equinox! We live about 2 hours away and did most everything over the phone, text and email. They were so very helpful and answered all of our questions, and made the whole experience worth the trip. We absolutely love our new vehicle and couldn't be happier.

We worked with Tom as our salesman. He was good at answering our questions and helping us get the car we really wanted.

Thanks Chris L. Great salesman. Terry thanks for getting our deal done. Chris & Terry are Great!!! I recommend Jack Schmitt of Wood River

Willie Elliott best salesman great service man!


Willie Elliott did a great job 👏

Best experience I’ve ever had buying a car

You guys are excellent when it comes to customer service. Very accommodating and nice. Good service with my car. You always find the problem and it gets fixed fast. Thank you wood river chevy!

Chris Louth did and is still doing a fantastic job, just recently purchased a “new used” Chevy 1500 he did not try to up sale me in anyway and kept me on track for the truck that I wanted. One of the better experiences I’ve had at a dealership.


We had a great experience! We've bought many vehicles from a variety of dealers and this is by far one of the smoothest vehicle purchases we've ever made. Please ask for Chris! He is kind and gets the job done! We highly recommend Jack Schmitt Chevrolet of Wood River!

Willie Elliott is the best salesperson ever. We are in our late 60s and have bought many vehicles in our lifetime and this is the first time that there was no pushy pressure to buy. We liked him so much and they dealt fairly so we bought two vehicles the same day. We bought one used car and one new car and both deals were perfect.

Top notch service and great sales experience!!! If you are looking for the most on your trade with no back and forth nonsense; they deliver!!!

Was very hesitant to take vehicle to dealership for service but after today, I won’t go anywhere else! Fred in the service department is top notch! I was planning on being there 2-3 hours and was out in just over an hour!

Terry was great! Very informative and patient.

Chris Louth, our Sales Associate was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful with our purchase! Strongly recommend Jack Schmitt Chevrolet!!!

I had a great experience purchasing my first newer car with Terry Birch. He searched high and low to find a vehicle that checked all boxes. I'd like to also mention Stormy Dufrain. She made the paperwork process smooth and happily answered any questions.


Nice people but Christian was deceptive regarding transportation costs.

They were very reasonable and help me find a car in my price range. Couldn’t ask for a better price, plus i got a great car! 10/10 recommend!

Not a bad place but I don't think i would buy a car here unless they gave me one hella of a deale

I want to thank Terry and Tom for working hard to get me and my husband in the car we wanted . Thanks guy's

Best service in town thanks Jason

Jeff was a big help got me right in and really helped me out


Chris Louth made my daughter's first car buying experience so wonderful. He was very straightforward and any time I reached out to him, he was very responsive.

Very happy with my buying experience. No one was pushy and got me the best interest rate possible.

Tire pressure light came on after rotation had to go to Midas Fairview Heights to have them programed


Thanks to Donny for helping change my flat tire on my company van on Friday afternoon. He got it done in quick time and checked the air in the other tires. Thanks to all involved.

I was interested in a specific used car that the Jack Schmitt Chevy Dealership had for sale. It was complicated because I was in Washington State and they are in Mo. My plan was to fly to St. louis, buy a car and drive it home with my daughter who is graduating from SLU in December. With Chris Louth's great help and Linnessa Maronie Assistance with the legal stuff we put together the deal and I wired the money. Done deal right.
Well the next day, much to my chagrin, I discovered I had made a mistake through no ... Read More Google - Oct 10, 2024

I can’t thank Chris Louth enough for helping my parents get into their new car! The process was quick and easy and Chris was wonderful to work with.

In late July I went to Jack Schmidt in Wood River. The salesmans name was Terry. He listened very intently on what I wanted to buy. I only had to drive one car and I knew that's the one I wanted. I have had the 2025 Chevy Trailblazer for 2 and a 1/2 months and it's the best car I have ever gotten. Terry made the process extremely easy for me. From now on I know my family and I will be buying at Jack Schmidt in Wood River!

Mike Killion is a fantastic salesman. Shows you what you're looking for, rather than wasting your time with what they want to move out. Any questions he can't answer, he get the answer and follows up. The rest of the JS team is great, and it was a very good experience over all. 100% will look for my next new vehicle there.

We had a great experience purchasing a used car for our daughter. Our sales associate Chris Louth was very helpful as we considered a few different options. In the end, we purchased a great vehicle at a great price. Thank you.


Very friendly staff very helpful and the sales associate Amanda Jackson worked with me for a month to get me in the car I wanted

Was really thrilled with Blake! Worked with us well and knew his stuff. If the lot had more options of other brands we probably would’ve gotten our car here to give Blake the commission.

We had a very good experience at Jack Schmitt Chevy. Our salesperson was Chris Louth, who was great to work with.

It was a pleasure working with Chris Louth at Jack Schmitt Chevrolet The process was handled smoothly and quickly Chris took the time to make sure I felt comfortable by showing me all the features on my Bolt EUV premier. I would recommend Chris Louth and Jack Schmitt Chevrolet for all your needs!!

New Whip🚗

very pleased with service and especially service after the sale which is exemplary to say the least!

Very good.

They did great and the process was fast I love the vehicle and it works great

Salesperson was extremely professional

Just bought a car there. My salesman was Cody. He did a fantastic job of not pressuring me and made sure that he answered all my questions. Overall, it was a pain-free experience and, so far, I love my car. Would highly recommend.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Great to work with. We came in with a few different trucks we were looking at and we found the perfect fit. Really easy to work with. A lot better than a few other places we went to

CHRIS LOUTH, STORMY DUFRAIN, & COLBY STELLHORN all did an excellent job at getting me a car that accommodates my lifestyle. They went above and beyond on customer service and ensured I was satisfied before leaving the lot. They made sure the car I got was in excellent shape and even did an additional inspection to make sure it met my standards. I highly recommend Jack Schmitt Chevrolet of Wood River to anyone in search of a used or new vehicle.

Jack Schmitt Chevrolet of Wood River is the best place to find the car of your dreams. The sales professionals are friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

Such a great and friendly place. They get me in and out for oil changes asap. Everyone is so friendly and so helpful. The internet department helped me get my sales appointment scheduled asap! Will def be going back in the future!

Willie Elliott was the most knowledgeable salesman I've ever had. I couldn't stump him with any question I asked. He always had the answer. Just so happened that cyberattacks were messing with the software while we were finalizing paperwork. The salesmanager Vince talked to me about the issues. They put dealer plates on the vehicle and told me to take it home and come back when I had time to finalize. I couldn't believe I was taking this truck home and being treated like family. I highly recommend this dealership, and I highly recommend Willie to walk ... Read More Google - Jun 29, 2024

Big thanks to Terry Birch for working hard to get us this beautiful truck. We are definitely coming back in the future to buy another one from him. He went above and beyond. Thanks again


We went to the lot to look for a new vehicle for my elderly mother. Terry met us outside and was so friendly and informative. He was so kind to my mother as she test drove the vehicle! He was also very helpful and efficient as we purchased the vehicle!


Was a very nice experience helpful not to much at all and definently would recommend anyone to be here


Great staff and great service!!

It was good.


Nice waiting area. Easy in and out. Great customer service

We had a great car buying experience here. We felt the price was fair for our new (used) SUV. Our salesperson, Chris Louth, spent a lot of time with us answering all of our questions and helping us through the car buying process. I highly recommend Chris for your next auto purchase!

Great dealership.
