I had an incredible experience at Rio Vista Chevrolet! Marcia was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and never once pushy. She really listened to what I was looking for an Marcia was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and never once pushy. She really listened to what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect Silverado 2500 HD ZR2. When the was I was looking at, sold she found me another one. She didn’t try and sell me one on the lot that I didn’t want. She didn’t steer me toward anything I didn’t want. The entire process was smooth, honest, and stress-free. If you’re shopping for a new vehicle, I highly recommend asking for Marcia—she made the whole experience five stars from start to finish! If I could give six starts I would! More

Working with Daisy and the Rio vista team was great. We were having a hard time finding a dealer in southern California and we felt like we were being xxxxxand deceived by "mandatory fees and add ons". We were having a hard time finding a dealer in southern California and we felt like we were being xxxxxand deceived by "mandatory fees and add ons". When we spoke to Daisy she gave us the price without any hesitation with the discounts already in place. The extended warranty was significantly cheaper at Rio Vista. Daisy was available and answered all our questions with understanding and reassurance. Daisy and Rio Vista have our business in the future if we are ever in the market again! Thank you again Daisy!
