I should have written this review a long time ago; but now I have so many additional reasons to write it. Back in March, my wife and I were looking to buy me a car, and she spent a lot of time looking around and doing her research before deciding to go to Select EuroCars. We had watched the inventory videos on their website, and were impressed by the selection and fair pricing of Joel's stock. His website is truly incredible! So much information on the vehicles, plenty of photographs, detailed walkarounds on video, and so easy to navigate and filter. I've never seen a used car dealer with a website so well put together! Additionally, after reading about Joel's story and technical experience, my wife knew she had found the right place to do business. We drove the hour from our home to Waterloo, just to do business with Mr. Osserman and his team, specifically. We were not at all disappointed! We had called in advance about the VW Tiguan we were interested in test driving; when we arrived, Joel took us out for a spin. When we knew this was the one for us, Joel worked tirelessly with my wife and I to find the right financing fit for us. He went above and beyond to make sure we left satisfied, and never once made us feel anything less than a valued customer. We left that day feeling very good about our purchase, and looking forward to doing business with Select Euro Cars in the future.  Fast forward to August: we've been really enjoying our time in our VW! It's been the perfect fit for our lifestyle; but, more importantly, we felt comfortable and safe with our decision. Then, one day, as we were heading into town for lunch, we heard an unusual noise coming from under the hood and panicked! Without thinking clearly, we made a rash decision to take the VW to the nearest open repair shop. What a mistake that was! The shop we took it to (who shall remain nameless -- nationwide chain) had no idea what they were doing with our dear VW. After two weeks of headaches and turmoil, and an expensive diagnostic fee, and a reported thousands of dollars in potentially necessary repairs, we were quite fed up. Then it dawned on us-- JOEL! Why, OH WHY, did we not think of taking it in to Select Euro Cars in the first place?!  We had AAA tow our vehicle from the chain repair shop all the way to Waterloo to have the team at Select Euro Cars take a look at it. The very next day, we received a phone call from Dan: "The car is done, ready for you to pick it up." We were in disbelief. Almost too good to be true, we drove down to pick up the car, and were over-the-moon excited to find out that the vehicle had been repaired in less than an hour and for next to nothing! (Very important side note: we had purchased the warranty option when we originally purchased the VW, and it covered the entire cost of the repair for us, including labor, and waived our deductible so we paid absolutely nothing out of pocket-- SO WORTH IT if you buy from these guys.) It turns out, the real problem was completely different from what the first shop said it was; they would have done all of the expensive, unnecessary repairs on our VW, just to find out that the problem was still not fixed. Instead, the guys at Select Euro Cars, who specialize in VWs and Audi, knew exactly what the issue was and fixed it right away.  We are beyond impressed by their knowledge and expertise with these cars. The team at Select Euro Cars is FANTASTIC, and I can't thank them enough. I solemnly swear that I will never take my vehicle to anyone else, for as long as I live.  We'll be in the market for another vehicle soon, and we can't wait to do business with these wonderful people all over again! read more

Best Used Car Dealership I have ever shopped at. Exceptional customer service from beginning to end. The actual owner, not a salesman handle the process with me. He worked long and hard to get me approved, others would have just said no!! If you are looking for a used car, stop by Select EuroCars and I'm sure you will leave happy!!! read more

Joel is a scam artist. He takes advantage of people. He took in my mothers car for an electrical issue. After she put a $1000 plus deposit on it, to cover all the electrical issues, the alternator and voltage regulator. When she picked it up, he told her the engine had to be replaces, and she owed over 2000 more. She paid it, and could not even drive it 5 miles, when car died again. I had it towed, Joel refused to talk to me over her car, so she put a stop payment on his check since no work was even done to car. Now, 3 months of court appearances, and having to pay a different shop to fix the car. In Joel's words to me was that it is up to the men to take care of the vehicles. Women should not be "putting their noses" in men's work. (exact words). Bill to have the car fixed properly was 750. This place will take advantage of anyone they can, especially if they are elderly. On the last - Joel said a new motor was installed in this car. Nothing was ever touched in the motor compartment. Nothing even cleaned up. So all the money that he took advantage of my mother went into his pocked, and not into any repairs of her car. read more

Joel contacted me again to try to find a resolution to our issue. I had already traded the car at another dealership, but Joel offered to pay for the difference in what I got for trade and what he would have paid me, in exchange for "Signed release and non-disparagement agreement" approved by his lawyer. He also wanted "removal from Yelp and anywhere else posted, no further discussion or postings in any media." I told him that he should send me the check on good faith that I would update my comment. He sent someone to my house to deliver the check, which was inappropriate. I didn't answer the door and told him to send it in the mail, and to his credit, the check arrived within the week. read more

On May 18, 2017, more than two years after I posted a negative review, I was offered $200 to remove the review with the implication that I would face a lawsuit if I refused to do so. This is against the terms of Yelp's user agreement, which both reviewers and businesses must abide. I have accepted no money to remove the review but am doing so for fear of being sued. read more

I drove in without an appointment because I had a warning light. I am an existing customer. They promply scanned my computer & the problem was quickly resolved. The friendliness and customer service is outstanding! read more

I heard about Select Eurocars about 15 years ago from a colleague. I've driven German cars for the past 30 years but never considered visiting here because I shied away from "used." But, having a TDi that VW is buying back from me, I was thinking about what I was going to do. On a drive-by, I was amazed at the quantity of German engineering I saw on the lot. We stopped in on a whim and my wife fell in love for an Audi Q5. We test drove it and bought it. That day. But the story doesn't end. After we got it home and I began to familiarize myself to this magnificent machine, I called Joel, the owner, and asked where the factory-supplied roof racks were. Well, Joel got a pair and UPS-ed them to me. Free of charge. And, we were concerned that there was only 1 ignition key. Again, Joel procured one and sent it to me. Free of charge. But the story still doesn't end. When you buy a car at Select Eurocars, you get a chance to receive a $100 check for spreading the word to your friends about buying their next car at Select Eurocars. If you are responsible for getting them to Waterloo and buying a car from them, Joel will send you a check for $100. I know this first-hand, because I mentioned Matt, my friend who told me about Select 15 years ago, to Joel during our finalization meeting. After 15 years, Matt is $100 richer today. Joel is upfront, solid and a guy I wil do business with again. read more

Extremely happy with the TT that I purchased from Joel two years ago. I live an hour away and have only been able to take advantage of their excellent repair shop twice. The first time was no charge, covered under their warranty and the next repair, I thought was well diagnosed and very reasonably priced. read more

We were in Geneva, NY for an event when the radiator on our 2002 Eurovan self destructed in a parking lot. It was late on a Friday afternoon and after a quick web search, I found Select Euro Cars 3.5 miles away. We are from Maryland and were going to be in town for a week. The Bus was going nowhere! I first spoke to Dan, then Joel. Both were helpful and courteous. Dan suggested a towing company and Joel assured me that they would take care if our bus. My husband went to the shop on Saturday morning and Joel went over the damage with him and ordered the parts. The van was done by Tuesday evening as promised and purred like a kitten all the way back to Maryland. They were a lifesaver! read more

Bought my first Volkswagen from these guys. I was a first time buyer and my options were quite limited. I found select euro cars and made the 2 hour drive to meet joel and his team to get me in the right vehicle. Joel went out of his way to make sure i got the best financing options. I purchased my car and it came with an outstanding warranty, brand new tires, a fresh oil change and coolant flush. The effort they put into my car and making sure i was able to drive it away happy was incredible. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase again. And when i am ready to purchase another vehicle I'm going straight back to select euro cars 2 hours away from my home. Their cars are solid reliable and beautiful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a vw or an Audi. They know the ins and outs of these vehicles and make sure their customers get the best quality vehicle for the price. Also worth mentioning that they have been doing it 30 years. their inventory is pretty impressive. Ive had my vehicle 3 months now and not a single issue with it. If you have an issue with your vw or audi BRING YOUR CAR TO THEM FOR FIXING! they know everything about them. My car runs excellent. Its obvious the cars that they sell were well maintained and taken care of. Huge thanks to joel and his team at select euro cars in geneva NY. read more

I have purchased two VWs from Joel over the past 3 years - both have proven to be excellent vehicles - furthermore the customer service was over the top! They go out of their way to accommodate and make it really easy to trade in a car and secure financing. Thank you Joel and team! read more

My family has purchased three vehicles from Joel, and we have been loyal customers ever since. I cannot say enough positive things about Select Eurocars! Joel, Dan and all of the technicians are consistently accommodating, professional and helpful. They always go above and beyond, and make us feel like family. I am grateful for their expertise and kindness. Nancy B. read more

I have been using Select EuroCars for almost 15 years for my two VW's and Audi. I bought my current VW there and received excellent service from Joel and his staff. I bought it for a fair price and the purchase was fast and easy. I have saved thousands of dollars on repairs by bringing my car here rather than using the VW dealership in Ithaca. it is a bit of a drive, but I trust them and know that they will give me honest information and a fair price. I highly recommend them for both service and sale. read more

Joel and his side kick Dan have been nothing but super customer focused through out my purchase of a 2003 Audi TT 225 hp Roadster. Any questions I had were quickly addressed. Items requiring thier attention were addressed in the same day. I would highly recommend them. I have had nothing but superiour customer support and service from day one. And a big shout out to Rob the service tech. who bailed me out of locking my keys in my car! Great friendly guy. read more

Have purchased cars at this dealership since 1984, all Volkswagens. The dealership specializes in used VW ans Audi and is more experiences in selling and servicing these cars than other used auto dealers. They have special tools and diagnostic equipment from VW/Audi. The location is very convenient for service. I don't have to deal with busy urban dealers and prices for service have always been reasonable. read more

Called and got a very nasty person on the phone, won't even consider going there with that kind of attitude.

I cannot say enough great things about Joel and company. I've purchased two used cars there and was impressed not only by the ease of purchase and the fair price, but also by the great follow-up service. Joel really cares about the customer's post-purchase experience and is extremely responsive to any questions both via e-mail and telephone. The cars on the lot are beautifully maintained and at a good variety of price points (for those of us with two kids in college). I have recommended Joel to many friends and I will definitely purchase all of my future cars there! read more

Don't waste your time. I bought an Audi here- and I wound up buying a timebomb. Either they dont know how to buy used vehicles or just dont care. I could have saved a few thousand buying a clunker like this at the auction myself- probabally in the same condition. read more

I have gone to Select for many years to maintain my Audi vehicles. I have found Joel to be interested in his customers and committed to providing excellent service through his mechanics. They stand by their work, and reward customer loyalty with a modest discount on service. I have not found that at other places. The prior comments would seem to reflect folks that expect to receive a new car for a used car price, then fail to actually talk with Joel about issues that arise. His longevity in the area, and investments in his property, equipment, and inventory would be the best indicators that Joel enjoys a strong customer base who rely on his continuing presence. Such durability can only be achieved by looking out for customers interests while taking care of the underlying business. In my experience, Joel and his SelectEuroCar facility work hard in both arenas and do pretty well. I have recommended him to others and am glad that he is part of the community. read more

I traveled 1hr45minutes from my home to Select Eurocars in Waterloo, NY for servicing my vehicle with 120,000 miles. He quoted me a great price of $917 for a timing belt replacement including water pump, serpentine belt, rollers etc. He also matched the cheapest DSG service I could find locally for $229. On top he gave me a discount for being a AAA member. The service writer Dan and Owner Joel were very talkative and answered all of my many questions and concerns. They used "Hudson Products" timing belt kit parts. The mechanic was a friendly guy also. The removed components like coolant reservoir were cleaned before re-installation. I am 60 and have never encountered cleaning existing parts before by any dealer. The waiting room while not lavish does have reclining theater seats with cup holders that helped pass the hours it took for repair. They also let me use a lot car and recommended a lunch spot nearby. I drove my 2010 JSW TDI home 100 miles and it performed just like the way I drove it there. I asked for the old parts which looked like they would last another 100,000 miles. If I need any more major repairs/service I will return. I spoke to a fellow customer(lawyer) who said he has been buying cars and servicing them at Select Eurocars for over 25 years. Based on all of the above I can recommend Select Eurocars Inc. read more

The Good.....very very knowledgable about VW. I have taken my car for service there more than a few times. The issue has always been fixed and in a timely manner. Not the friendliest crew there but reletively polite.....until you question their wor,k. The Bad...they are VERY defensive when you question their r work. I had another problem crop up (fluid leak) immediately after having the car serviced there so I took my car back the next day and simply asked if it was possible they could have caused this problem as it was in the area of the service that was performed. They over reacted and were obviously sensitive to this situation, like it has happened before...it was very weird. ( they did not cause the leak BTW) Now the BAD....the parts. The quality of parts are fine, and I have a friend that buys parts from him occasionally when needed in a hurry. They buy parts from I.D. Parts, German Auto parts etc. Really very good parts of OEM quality. The issue is they mark up the parts to full dealer retail ! After having service done and being shocked by the price I paid I looked up my part on I D parts... $64....German Auto $76.... Went to dealer in Rochester VW service and got a quote for the part..$149 after standard discount they give everybody ! Joel charged me $179 for this part !!! The only place I could find that price was a general Google search by part number and that was the "suggested" dealer retail, which nobody charges. I feel ripped off and this is unacceptable and I will never take my car there for service again. read more
