Dan did an awesome job getting me a great deal on my new car. He took his time and answered all my questions. This is the second car I bought from this dealership and I’ll definitely be back when I get a new one. Thank you Dan.

2018 Jeep Compass
by AA on 06/29/2020Bought a 2018 Jeep Compass with 25,000 miles on Friday drove it once on Saturday to find out the wheel vibrates when you go 65+ on the highway. It also makes a muffled noice occasionally when accelerating at different MPH. Would’ve called… on Sunday but they are closed and I tried to call in on Monday the one sales reps voicemail says not to leave a message because he won’t check it and the other rep has yet to get back to me. They were quick to get back to me when making a sale, but MIA when I need further assistance.Service

Stay away from the service department!
by Jenni5392 on 01/08/2020I waited until today to post this because a manager was suppose to call me but for the sixth time, there was no call. STAY AWAY FROM JOE BASIL’S SERVICE DEPARTMENT! Get your work done elsewhere if you want competent employees and a… manager to call you back. (Disclaimer: this review is about the service department only. I had no issues with sales or the body shop) I had to bring my vehicle in to get my turning signal fixed. It was suppose to be fixed before purchase but was not. A one day appointment turned into the dealership having my vehicle for 23 days. I had only gotten to have it for 12 days sporadically. I brought it in three times for the same thing. I took time out of my work day and wasted my gas. Joe Basil’s service department kept calling me to pick up the truck even though it wasn’t done. I went into the dealership 4 times asking for a manager and one was never there. I called several times and was told 6 times that a manager would call me. I have never spoken directly to a manager. They use their employees to relay information. I’m stuck paying on a vehicle I have barely driven. The biggest point I want to make is that I shouldn’t have even had a car payment yet since all this work was suppose to be done before I signed anything and it wasn’t. A one day service appointment turned into 23 days. It was all due to incompetence. And I think the worst part is that I couldn’t even get a manager to call me! I am left beyond frustrated and just feel helpless. I’m not excited about my purchase and I’m disappointed that I bought an extended warranty. If this is going to be how incompetent the service department is going to be, I do not want to take my vehicle to Joe Basil for the work.After writing this review I was contacted by a manager who has rectified the situation.
Worst case scenario
by Kaysha M on 11/27/2019The experience I had today was very inconsiderate and unprofessional. I arrived to see a used jeep liberty at 5pm after making my appointment at 1130 am with custiner service rep Alisha, only to be greeted by Sales man Cory with an awkward… smirk on his face only to say "yeah we just sold that jeep a few hours ago". "Didn't someone call you?" I told him I received no call at all which was odd because Alisha had been in communication with me so frequently the past week or so. I was really upset that I rushed there from work with my children. Took 45mins to get there in the traffic from the westside of buffalo just to be brushed off. No one bothered to call me in Hope's to stick me with some quick sale to boost their sales goals for the month. I guess everything is just numbers and sales to the Basil company. Very disappointing and frustrating experience to say the least. But the worst part was getting an email at 8:38 pm from the customer service representative Alisha asking me how did I like the jeep, with photos of the jeep and if there was anything she could do for me. Like seriously? There is zero communication and consideration skills at this establishment.Hi Kaysha, we are sorry to hear of your experience. There are definitely so legitimate concerns here that we need to address with our management team. We apologize for inconveniencing you and for the lack of communication.

by Gerubiac21 on 04/24/2019All I can say is thank you God for allowing me to through you guys. Every one is awsome, friendly and very patient with you. They do everything in their power to help you out. Thank you Kevin Zepheniah (salesman). He is so understanding… with all types of situation. And I want to thank Ray schnitzer for all the help he contributed through the process. keeping my boys busy with the basketball machine so that we were able to get the paperwork done.thank you for the popcorn, hot chocolate, water,soda and lastly the memorable time which I will never forget on buying a car. Thank you everyone love Gerubia's Family.A company that thrives on conning customers
by Mr_cruz on 02/08/2019This company has been unprofessional, unapologetic, unreasonable, and disrespectful from the beginning of my car buying experience. I was sold a 2016 Malibu that within the first two weeks was giving me issues. I would come in and I was… treated as I am crazy or a liar. After three attempts of pushing for them to do their job, the issue was partly resolved.I have a bad execelartor pedal, structure water damage happening to the passenger sealing, and irratic shifts. All these issues were brought up while I was still under warranty and they did nothing. Now that my warranty is up, they are even worse. They fought me and wanted me to be out of my warranty period. To purposely not help me. They simply sold me a lemon and committed consumer fraud. Do not get your vehicle worth them. Save yourself the money and possible stress. I would recommend Westherr instead.We are sorry to hear your having issues, Wwe would like the opportunity to discuss your concerns, if you could please email us at basilcares@joebasilchevrolet.com with your contact info we would appreciate it.

Great experience
by mscarps77 on 10/16/2018Took our malibu in for service. Was walking the lot, looking at the 2018Trax. Jeff came over and told us there is a 30% reward program on these cars. We ended up purchasing one and driving it home that day. Jeff was polite courteous,… and straight forward with us. He gave us the deal we needed to purchase the vehicle...and went above and beyond to make sure the Malibu repair was ready at the same time as the new car. Great workHi, thanks for your praise and kind comments about our team. Our team strives to deliver an excellent experience, and are glad you found this to be the case during your visit. If you have further needs or questions, please reach out!
They helped us when the other dealers wouldnt.
by Pdogi1907 on 10/03/2018We had a problem with a leased vehicle continually breaking down. The vehicle was always fixed but it came to where it was unreliable. Took it back to where we bought it but they were not a lot if help. Took it to Joe Basil and they went… over and above to help us with a new vehicle. They will have my business again.We're pleased to know we have been able to exceed your expectations and really help you out! We sincerely value your business and look forward to your next visit!

by SsherjjMMalik on 07/11/2018They leased me a Malibu LT 2018 that smelled like mold or smoke. Detailing it didn't work. Put in a non GM Remote Starter with extra fobs. Never ever do business we it them ever again or send family and friends there ever sgainHi, it is disappointing for us to hear that your experience was anything less than great.
