Smith Auto Group Acquires Dealerships | Shopping & Services

Smith Auto Group in Fort Smith has purchased Hendren Auto Group in Pineville, Missouri, on the outskirts of Bella Vista, Arkansas. The dealership is located off of Hwy 71 next to Macadoodles on Route 00.

Hendren Auto Group consists of 3 dealerships - Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Ram. Kim Hendren and the Hendren family began their operations in the automotive business in 1988.

"Smith Auto Group is excited about the expansion into NWA as it allows us to diversify our brands and reach a wider range of customers. It will be very beneficial to us not only in retail, but also with our fleet operations, parts and body shop areas of business," said John Smith, Jr., President. "Hendren Auto Group was ideal for us to acquire due to its location, size and the synergies gained by adding these three dealerships to Smith Auto Group."
