I can't say enough good things about this HONEST independent dealership. Firstly, everyone reading this review knows that despite online tools like Carfax, buying a used car can be a difficult experience. "Who can you trust?" - "Is the car going to fall apart a week after I get it home?" -- "Should I believe that the car is actually in the advertised condition stated?" -- etc, etc. I personally, have been at it for 2 whole months! I grew up with Muscle cars, and know more about cars than the average person, but I have been sadly disappointed in one way or another with every other place I had traveled to... until now.
My review is a bit lengthy, but it is worth the read if you are tired of pounding the pavement looking for a decent used car.
You can rest assured that everything Freddy, Matt, and Sam tell you about their cars is the actual truth. And, they are actually really great guys too! They were very friendly and easy going. With no-pressure to buy, but they still actively made the effort to get us in a vehicle we were excited to purchase and call our own. Freddy actually made the experience fun.
Every car on the lot is nice and well maintained. I was quite impressed. The buyer (Matt) has a real talent for 'bringing the goods'. A used car dealership of any size, is only as good as the buyer selecting the vehicles for sale. This guy knows what he's doing.
My husband and I traveled here (2 + hours away) to look at a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder and they actually HELD the car for us until our arrival! (UNHEARD OF!) We arrived, and Freddy had everything ready for us with a smile. The vehicle was pulled up to the front with the doors open, the hood open, and everything was ready for our inspection. It was a great car, but just not for us. So unfortunately, while we did not purchase that vehicle, we decided to look at other vehicles on the lot since we made the long trip. We found an even better fit for us, at Freddy's suggestion. A 2011 Nissan Xterra PRO-4X. We liked the test drive enough to set up a pre-inspection appointment at Regal Nissan. Aside from a few minor things (the brake fluid was a teeny bit dingy, new wipers, new battery, and terminals, etc.) the car checked out and passed with my regular mechanic. After I gave Freddy the full diagnostic list of issues, I was assured that everything would be repaired to our satisfaction. Within one day, everything was completed as promised! The car was fully detailed inside and out as well. Ready to rock.
Financing was easy (we left a large down payment and have good credit) as was the affordable extended warranty offered. We could not be happier with this very solid, and sporty vehicle. It's like a tiny tank that rides smoothly, and purrs like a kitten. It is PERFECT for us.
I would definitely recommend this very honest dealership to others. I wished I came here first, instead of going through the horror show I had the past 2 mos. In fact, I have to purchase another car in the next few months. And I know exactly where I am going to make my first stop. You guys are...
Read moreWhy Selective Imports Auto Sales deserve Five Stars 🌟. Well let me start from the beginning, I saw The vehicle I was looking on cargur. And these guys were selling it at a great price versus other auto dealers. Gave these guys a call and spoke with Sam. I live in North Carolina Which is 6 hours away exactly. After speaking, joking and laughing with Sam. I informed Sam that I was interested and would drive all the way from North Carolina to come view the vehicle the following morning. Sam assured me that the vehicle would be there the following morning. I joked with Sam,, about if I buy the vehicle, I deserved lunch for driving all the way from North Carolina. He said he would do just that. My brother and I felt that we could trust Sam. So we headed to Georgia early the next morning. In 6 hours we were at selective imports auto sales. We met Sam and Freddie. As soon as we arrived there, It was lunch time by now . They asked My brother and I what did we want to eat ,whatever we wanted to eat they would buy. So they were feeding us before we even made a purchase. We decided we wanted pizza Freddie went and picked the pizza up and came back with 4 boxes of pizza! These guys are awesome! They have nothing but nice vehicles on their lot for sale. The Yukon Denali that I came to purchase was nice and clean. It was worth the trip. it was exactly what I was looking for. They were minor things that needed taking care of that I noticed. And they took care of everything I mentioned. I did purchased the vehicle. while we were taking care of the paperwork. A real bad thunderstorm had popped up. They had bottled water in the office but no refrigerator, After mentioning that I would like some water Sam went out in all that rain and ran over to the gas station that was next door and brought us ice back. After I have told him I didn't need no ice to drink the water , but that's how these guys will go out of their way to please a customer . We laugh and joke Around with each other.

Read moreI don't like "buying" cars, but I enjoyed my experience with Sam, Mike, and Freddy at Selective Imports!! I was looking for a specific type of vehicle for about 6 months (an Audi or BMW sport wagon) and I found one of their listings online; it was a black BMW 328i M-Sport wagon.
Sport wagons are hard to find in the South, so I appreciated their attention to its unique character and their eye for something above the cut. They were very friendly in person and they let me test drive the car alone, which was nice. No useless chit chat, no additional pressure. It was raining that day, so I came back the next day for a deeper look. I really liked the car, so I had it inspected.
It came back with a couple items that needed attention (nothing major), but overall it was a solid car. We both did our due diligence to research the car and understand what needed to be addressed. During this time they actually took it off the market. This told me that they were serious about the condition of the car and that they weren't trying to brush me off. I really appreciated that. After a couple weeks we came to a very fair deal, and I was very pleased with the process. ZERO pressure.
Before the purchase, I prayed to Jesus for financial guidance to do the right thing. He answered me in Psalm 146. After the purchase, I had an amazing conversation with Sam (the owner) about life, family, and the Biblical times we are living in today. It turned out that we're both members of the same church family!! We talked, laughed, and prayed for what must have been 3 hours! It was truly a blessing that we did business together, especially in this time of uncertainty!! I guess you could say that this is more than a review, it's a personal testimony. :)
These guys are honest and trustworthy, real people providing a real service. Above all, you need to be smart and know what you're buying, but also be mindful about their time and efforts. If you're going to buy, you'll be a happy customer. If you're just kicking tires and you're not going to buy, then move on.
Sam, I wish you and everyone at your business great success and many...
