01

About a family-owned dealership in Natchitoches.

What it means to be family owned, who is behind the name on the building, and why it matters when you choose where to buy, sell, or service.

What is a family-owned car dealership?

A family-owned car dealership is owned and operated by a single family rather than a corporate or investor-owned chain. Hebert Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram is owned by the Hebert family through the Hebert Auto Group, a locally-owned group operating since 1981. The group opened the Natchitoches store in May 2023 as its third Northwest Louisiana location, alongside Shreveport and Minden.

How long has Hebert Jeep been in Natchitoches?

The Natchitoches dealership opened in May 2023 as the Hebert family's newest rooftop. While the store itself is recent, the ownership is well established: the Hebert family has operated in the automotive business since 1981.

Who owns Hebert Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram?

The Hebert family. Mark A. Hebert Sr. leads the group as President and has held leadership roles including Chairman of the Louisiana Automobile Dealers Association (LADA) and Louisiana State Director to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA). The third generation, Beau, Chris and Drew, are actively involved in dealership operations.

How is a family-owned dealership different from a big-box or online dealership?

The owner's name is on the building, and decisions are made locally by people invested in the community. You get transparent trade valuations, factory-trained service that protects your warranty, and local accountability you cannot get from a 1-800 number or out-of-state corporate office.

02

Buying & inventory.

What we sell, how to browse, and how the family-owned buying experience differs from a big-box lot or an online platform.

What vehicles does Hebert Jeep sell?

We specialize in new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Wagoneer vehicles, including Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Gladiator and Compass; Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500; Dodge Charger, Challenger and Durango; and Chrysler Pacifica. Our pre-owned inventory includes vehicles from nearly every major manufacturer.

Do I have to buy a CDJR vehicle to buy from Hebert Jeep?

No. While we specialize in Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Wagoneer, our pre-owned inventory includes vehicles from nearly every major manufacturer, including Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Toyota, Honda and Nissan.

Can I see Hebert Jeep's inventory online before visiting?

Yes. Our complete new and pre-owned inventory is available at drivehebert.com. You can filter by make, model, year, mileage and price, and see real-time updates.

Can I reserve a vehicle that hasn't arrived yet?

Yes. Vehicles in transit or on order can be reserved. Contact our sales team at (318) 238-3383 with the model and trim you want, and we can lock in pricing and incentives ahead of arrival.

03

Financing & credit.

How we work with regional lenders, how prequalification works, and how Louisiana sales tax interacts with trades.

Does Hebert Jeep offer financing?

Yes. Our finance team works with regional and national lenders. You can get prequalified online in seconds with no impact to your credit score, or apply directly through our finance application.

Can I get prequalified for financing online?

Yes. Our online prequalification takes seconds and has no effect on your credit score. You get a personalized estimate of what you qualify for before you ever step on the lot.

Will my credit score affect my financing options?

Credit score affects rates and terms, but our finance team works with multiple lenders to find options across the credit spectrum, including bruised-credit and first-time buyer programs. The advantage of a family-owned dealership is a real conversation about your situation instead of an automatic decline from an algorithm.

How does Louisiana sales tax work on a purchase with a trade-in?

In Louisiana you pay sales tax only on the difference between your purchase price and trade-in value. For example, on a $40,000 vehicle with a $15,000 trade, you pay tax on the $25,000 difference. This is a real advantage of trading at a Louisiana dealership versus selling separately.

04

Trade-ins & selling.

Whether you are trading toward a new purchase or selling outright for cash, how the appraisal works and what makes us different from online platforms.

Do I have to buy a car from Hebert Jeep to sell mine to you?

No. We make cash offers on any vehicle with no purchase required. Sell outright for cash, or trade toward a new or pre-owned Hebert Jeep vehicle. The choice is yours.

How is my vehicle's trade or sale value determined?

We use Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer data combined with real-time market demand, our current inventory needs, and a physical inspection. We show our work, with no black-box pricing.

How long does the appraisal take?

Most appraisals take about 30 minutes from arrival to written offer. The online instant cash offer takes a couple of minutes, and payment is typically same-day if you accept and bring the vehicle in.

Can Hebert Jeep buy my car if I still have a loan on it?

Yes. We regularly handle loan payoffs as part of the sale, including upside-down loans where you owe more than the vehicle is worth. We show you the gap honestly and walk through your options.

How long is my online cash offer good for?

Your instant cash offer is good for 7 days at Hebert Jeep. After that, market data may have shifted and we may need to refresh the offer.

Will Hebert Jeep adjust the offer down at inspection?

Only if the inspection finds something not disclosed online, such as undisclosed accident history, frame damage or mechanical issues. If everything matches, your online offer holds.

05

06

Warranties & coverage.

How factory warranties work, what extended coverage is available, and how to keep your warranty rights intact through proper service.

Will service at Hebert Jeep affect my factory warranty?

What warranty comes with new vehicles bought from Hebert Jeep?
