Robbie Ashcar

Owner

Team Member since inception!

Robbie has always had a special interest in automobiles for as long as he can remember. He started working in the automobile industry in 1986, and he says he would not want to earn a living any other way. He loves this business!

Working for Lexus in the early nineties opened Robbie's eyes to a new level of customer satisfaction. One day a prospect for a pre-owned Lexus spoke to Robbie about his frustration of having to drive all over town to shop for a pre-owned luxury car. The customer told Robbie of his wish to find a dealership that stocked them all. This was the beginning of Robbie's dream to own an upscale dealership that stocked only "select" vehicles.

Robbie read the book First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman. This book outlines four "keys" to being an effective manager which Robbie practices at Select: finding the right fit for employees, focusing on strengths of employees, defining the right results, and selecting staff for talent - not just knowledge and skills.

With an Open Door Policy, Robbie welcomes input from customers. Please e-mail him and let him know what you think of our new website! He would love to hear from you!

My Dear Friend John

My dear friend John
It's hard to believe that you are gone
A man no one could dismiss
You, I will oh so much miss

John Franco, you were real, not pretend
For sure, customers and friends always could depend
Courage, honesty and pride were his plan
This was truly a real man
Ever ready to put you in a ride
But never willing to let ethics subside
A true gentleman with a joke to tell
Trust me; there is no one who could ever better sell
You were always so funny,
Especially when you were chasing that money
Some say you were rough and tough
But those funny stories I could never get enough
Of how much he loved his son
Full of pride as he pointed at his picture and said "He's the one"
And of course, mention Queen Bella, then you are totally done
A big tough guy you wish you knew
That helped me as my business grew
A good luck charm, you cannot believe
When I sat at his desk and many calls did receive
I asked him for a paper and pen
You gave me advice on how to win
Courage and respect made your life up
And John Franco, to you I raise my cup
To toast you for that man you were
One who shaped all of our lives for sure
Your friendship was great
Teaching us all things we can appreciate
When we called for help you were there
When we said something stupid you gave us a stare
So I bid you so long
And wonder now that you're gone
If we can keep you alive
By learning from you and living without the jive
Being straight shooters without the excess
So we can realize and not contest
That life is meant to be lived
Rest in peace my dear friend
Never worry and you can depend
That we will keep your memory alive
And learn to live without the jive
I'm thankful to have known you
With appreciation and love your friend Nick
