Chevy Truck Dealer Serving Sulphur Springs, TX
Sandlin Chevrolet in Mount Pleasant, Texas is about 40 miles east of Sulphur Springs on Interstate 30, roughly 45 minutes. It is a Chevrolet dealer that has sold trucks to Northeast Texas since 1937, and a lot of Hopkins County buyers make the drive because of how the deal gets done, not because it is close.
How Do I Get From Sulphur Springs to Sandlin Chevrolet?
Go east on I-30; Highway 67 is on the same road, so you'll see signs for both of them. Continue along this road through Saltillo, Mount Vernon and Winfield, then take exit 162 in Mount Pleasant, go south on Jefferson Avenue and turn onto East 16th Street.
The store is located at 204 E 16th St, which is about a mile and a half from the interstate.
Sulphur Springs is the seat of Hopkins County and the county extends a good distance to the east of the town. If you reside on the east side, heading towards Saltillo or along Highway 11, you're already halfway there. Those people in that part of Hopkins County already make the journey this way for many things. That's the way things function in Northeast Texas. A truck is just one more.
Why Would Someone in Hopkins County Buy a Truck in Mount Pleasant?
The fact that there is a Chevy store in Sulphur Springs isn't the point; there actually is one. People still drive by it and end up selecting our store, and the reviews show clearly why. Upon looking at them, the same words keep appearing: transparent, no gimmicks, no high pressure, an honest deal.
If you look at the item being praised, it is the agreement itself and not the salesperson.
What That Means in Practice
There is going to be no combination of conditions; you won't come across a high figure on a truck which is the result of combining financing with us, trading in your old vehicle, purchasing a package and meeting three further requirements. The price which we display to you is the kind of price an average person would be able to get.
The same individuals are always involved. Since 1937 Sandlin Chevrolet has been run by one family across four generations. There is someone you can contact who is in a position to make a decision.
You'll meet us once again; the lake named Bob Sandlin is named in honour of the man who first gave the Sandlin name to this store. When people see us in the town they shake our hands and mention it in their reviews. Which is the reason why we must never treat anyone badly. We greet our customers at the feed store, at the Dairy Festival, and on the water, and it is necessary for us to be reliable since we are not relocating.
What Kind of Truck Does a Hopkins County Buyer Need?
For most of the last century Hopkins County was known as the Dairy Capital of Texas and in 1990 it had nearly 500 dairies, supplying around 17 per cent of the state's milk; that is the reason why the Southwest Dairy Museum is located in Sulphur Springs.
Nowadays there are much fewer dairies, but those that are still operating on the eastern side of the county are genuine working businesses. If you include beef cattle, horse breeding, hay and the food processing plants in Sulphur Springs, then you have a town where a truck has a job before it even has a payment.
So we stock Silverado for Northeast Texas work, and we talk about it that way.
Silverado 1500
Silverado 1500 is the truck for most ranch and jobsite use. The standard 2.7L TurboMax makes 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque and tows up to 9,500 pounds when properly equipped. Step up to the 5.3L V8 and you are at 11,500 pounds.
The 6.2L V8 or the 3.0L Duramax diesel take a properly equipped 1500 to 13,300 pounds. That covers a bumper pull stock trailer, a hay hauler, or an equipment trailer for the jobsite, and it holds up on county roads.
Silverado 2500HD
Silverado 2500HD is where you go if you pull a gooseneck. The 6.6L gas V8 makes 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft. The 6.6L Duramax diesel makes 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft of torque, and both engines now come with the Allison 10-speed. A properly equipped diesel 2500HD tows up to 22,070 pounds with a gooseneck.
If you are running a loaded stock trailer up 67 to the sale barn, this is the truck.
Silverado 3500HD
Silverado 3500HD is there for the people who already know they need it. Dually or single rear wheel, gas or diesel.
Colorado & Chevrolet SUVs
We also sell Colorado for someone who needs a bed and a tow hitch but not a three-quarter ton. And for the household that needs one good vehicle that does not tow, we sell Trax, Trailblazer and Equinox at prices that make sense for a Northeast Texas paycheck.
The price on the truck is the price. To know what a specific truck can tow with the package it actually has, call 903-285-6644 and ask. We will look at the build sheet, not guess.
What Is It Like to Buy Here?
Most of our reviews say some version of the same thing. The people who drive over from Sulphur Springs are not writing about the coffee or the showroom. They are writing about the deal, that the price they saw online was the price on the paperwork, and that nobody leaned them to add something they did not ask for. That is not a policy we wrote down last year. It is how a store gets to stay in the same town for four generations.
Juan Cruz is part of why. Readers of the Mount Pleasant Daily Tribune voted him Best Car Salesperson in the Readers' Choice Awards, and if you read through our reviews you will see his name come up more than once. Ask for him. If he is with someone else, whoever you get works the same way, because there is only one way we do it here.
Chevrolet's Heartbeat of America campaign goes back decades, same as we do. The jackets from the first time around are still hanging in the building, which tells you how long the same family has been selling these trucks in Mount Pleasant.
