Wonderful experience My wife and I stopped by this dealership during a weekend getaway to California from Arizona in December. Samuel Ibarra greeted us, let us look and ad My wife and I stopped by this dealership during a weekend getaway to California from Arizona in December. Samuel Ibarra greeted us, let us look and admire the new Chevrolet SS, and helped us maneuver out of the dealership in our Corvette. When we decided to buy, I contacted Samuel and I was able to buy this car, doing all of the paperwork by phone and email. Our car was delivered to the California/Arizona border without any problems. We would definitely contact Samuel and Rio Vista Chevrolet when we purchase another vehicle. More

They'll be seeing me again I recently purchased a new vehicle here at Rio Vista Chevrolet. I took my time waiting for the best manufacturer incentives, and there was never any I recently purchased a new vehicle here at Rio Vista Chevrolet. I took my time waiting for the best manufacturer incentives, and there was never any pressure to "close close close" the deal, which I truly appreciated. After I made the decision to buy, there were a few nice touches that Rio Vista and Phil Hendershot did for us that were AFTER the fact, and very nice gestures. It felt like a family owned business, and come to find out that it is. I will highly recommend them to my friends and family in the future. More

Rio Vista easy to buy from My buying experience was awesome. I dislike pushy sales men and Oscar Sanchez was very accommodating while going through the inquiry and buying proces My buying experience was awesome. I dislike pushy sales men and Oscar Sanchez was very accommodating while going through the inquiry and buying process. I asked to correspond via email due to the fact that I couldn't be on my phone during work hours and only communicate via email. Other car dealerships that i was corresponding with did not respect that request and it made my decision easier for choosing where to make my purchase, I would highly recommend Rio Vista Chevrolet for you next car or truck buy. Thanks Rio Vista Lee Griffith More

The best of the best! I knew Sam Sell and his team had a good reputation in town but when I bought my wife's vehicle at Rio Vista 4 months ago, we were blown away by the hi I knew Sam Sell and his team had a good reputation in town but when I bought my wife's vehicle at Rio Vista 4 months ago, we were blown away by the high quality of customer service we received. Samuel Ibarra took excellent care of us and made sure we had everything we needed in order for us to make the right decision. He genuinely wanted to help us and was eager to make the process as smooth as possible. This past weekend, we bought a second vehicle from Rio Vista and once again we were treated to exceptional service by Mr. Ibarra and the rest of the fine folks at Rio Vista. I've always dreaded car buying in the past but they have completely changed my perception. Rio Vista makes the experience of purchasing a car enjoyable and easy. Erick Perez handled the finance part like the professional that he is and got us in and out. Rio Vista gets my highest endorsement and has made a customer for life. Thank you Sam, Samuel, Erick and the rest of the Rio Vista team. More
