About Kent's Auto Sales
Same corner. Since 2005.
Two decades on N. Glenwood Boulevard. Kent Poole opened the dealership in 2005 and runs it today. Plenty of independent dealers have come and gone in Tyler. Kent's hasn't moved an inch.
How we got here
The same lot, two decades in.
Kent opened the dealership on N. Glenwood in 2005 and built a steady local following. From the start, he kept what worked — the location, the no-pressure pace, the willingness to finance customers the big lots wouldn't.
And he quietly added what didn't exist before: a tougher inspection process, an easy finance approval that doesn't require a credit pull, and the kind of plain-English conversation you'd want to have with someone who's about to sell your family a car.

How we work
Buy Here · Pay Here · easy finance.
We finance customers in-house — no bank, no credit check, no minimum score. Approval is based on whether you've held a steady job and a Texas address for at least a year, and whether you can carry full coverage insurance.
Payments start at $180 biweekly and we work with you to find a number that actually fits your paycheck. Every vehicle on the lot has been through our inspection process before it goes up for sale. We're upfront about as-is — we'll tell you what we know about the car you're looking at, and we'd rather lose a sale than put someone in something we wouldn't put a family member in.

Call 903-595-0600What we believe
Three things we won't compromise on.
02
Time is real
Most deals here take under an hour from "I want this one" to keys in hand. Bring your documents and we'll get you out of here.
03
Trust is built one car at a time
We get a lot of repeat buyers and a lot of referrals from people who've been customers since the '90s. We didn't earn that by surprising anybody.
