What We Do: The Lee-Smith Tour
Welcome to Lee-Smith! While we are well known as a new and used truck dealership representing the manufacturers Ford, International and Isuzu, we have so much more to offer. So, what exactly does Lee-Smith do? The short answer is: Everything trucks and trailers! The long answer is best told through a quick digital tour.
When you swing by Lee-Smith the first thing you’ll notice aside from our size is our bright orange awnings. It’s how you know you’re at the right place. Being large in size means we have the space to do a variety of jobs. Some for the manufacturers we represent and some for all makes and models.
The Parts Department
Our parts department is an integral part of our dealership’s offerings. Currently our warehouse contains over four million dollars’ worth of OEM and All Makes inventory. If there is a part you want, we’ve got it! With a staff as friendly, knowledgeable, and as passionate about taking care of their customers as ours, it’s no wonder many of our customers choose to come buy their parts at our retail counter. However, we have made it easy for customers who need their parts delivered. We have 18 delivery trucks which service an 80-mile radius around Chattanooga which includes North Georgia, Cleveland, North Alabama and middle Tennessee. We also offer online ordering that can be done 24/7, for your convenience.
A few steps away from the parts department but what sounds like a different world, is our highly regarded service department.
The Service Department
As you walk through the bays you’ll hear torque wrenches, the engine of an International Truck, horns or hammering. You’ll see a mix of all kinds of trucks, Isuzu’s, Fords, International’s, Freightliner’s, Mack’s, GMC’s and Kenworth’s. Landscape trucks, garbage trucks, work trucks, fire engines, school buses, ambulances, and more. The technicians fixing these trucks are the best in the business and the most highly trained in the area. They’ve been trained on Isuzu, Ford, International, Cummins, Allison, Eaton and more. The department has had extensive diagnostic and dwell time training. What does this mean for you? It means that they know how to fix your truck and they understand the importance of working efficiently and effectively to get you back out on the road because your truck is your money maker.
A quick ride down the street takes you to our sales lot and our…
Truck Sales Department
Whether you’re looking for your company’s 1st truck or 30th truck you want to know that the person helping you understands your business and how you’ll be using the truck. Those two key pieces of information will guide what specifications your truck needs, whether it’s new or used. Our salespeople listen, ask questions, and come visit your location to learn about your business. Then they can recommend the right truck with the right specs because they know that different businesses have different needs.
After one more golf cart ride back up the street and a right turn you’ve reached our body shop, or in more sophisticated terms, the collision center.
Collision Center
In the unfortunate event that your truck is in an accident, we can take care of it. Our estimator can work with you or your insurance company. Our collision technicians can get the truck taken apart, rebuilt, and prepped for paint. At this point our expert painters step in and take over, your truck goes into our 80 foot down draft paint booth (the largest in the region) and comes out looking brand new. This department truly works miracles, we’ve seen them put together trucks that we swore wouldn’t go back together and we’ve seen them take some of the ugliest looking paint jobs and transform them into something magnificent.
So, we guess the long answer is still: We do it all! If it involves a truck or trailer, Lee-Smith does it!
