The Town That Used to Be the Biggest in the County
There's an irony worth knowing if you live in Screven: this quiet Wayne County city of fewer than 800 people was once the largest town in the entire county, and the oldest. Screven became a rail terminus on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad back in 1854, more than fifty years before it was even formally incorporated, connecting all the way to Thomasville when that town was still a resort destination for wealthy Northern visitors. For a stretch of the 19th century, Screven mattered more to this part of Georgia than Jesup did.
Two things changed that. The railroad's decision to route its rail yard through Waycross instead, and Jesup's selection as the Wayne County seat, gradually shifted the region's center of gravity north. Screven kept its rural, close-knit character, its historic Screven Baptist Church, and its agricultural roots in cotton, tobacco, and timber, while Jesup grew into the county's commercial hub. That's also, practically speaking, why the nearest Chevrolet and GMC dealership sits in Jesup rather than in Screven itself.

Eleven miles is a short, straightforward trip up the highway, not a special occasion.
New Chevrolet and GMC Vehicles Worth the Short Drive
Current inventory spans the Silverado 1500 and Silverado HD, Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, and Colorado on the Chevrolet side, and the Sierra 1500 and Sierra HD, Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, and Canyon on the GMC side. Buyers specifically shopping trucks, whether for hauling timber equipment or general farm and property work reflecting Screven's agricultural roots, can browse the dedicated truck lineup directly.
Used and Certified Pre-Owned Options
A GM Certified Pre-Owned vehicle passes a factory-backed multi-point inspection and carries extended warranty coverage beyond a standard used vehicle. Current certified pre-owned featured vehicles are viewable online, useful for buyers who want dealer-backed confidence without paying full new-vehicle pricing.
A Service Department Built for Rural Wayne County Driving
Farm and timberland roads around Screven put different stress on a vehicle than highway commuting does, harder on suspension, alignment, and tires in particular. NeSmith's certified service department runs factory-trained technicians and genuine GM parts, with appointments booked through the online scheduler rather than an open-ended walk-in visit.
Financing Without the Runaround
NeSmith's Finance Center works with GM Financial across a range of credit situations. If your credit history has some rough spots, the Credit Challenged resources walk through realistic paths forward rather than an automatic decline. Pre-qualifying online takes a few minutes and uses a soft credit check that won't affect your score.
What NeSmith's 4.5-Star Rating Actually Reflects
