Love my new FIAT Abarth & got a good deal at Walter's. My service visits have been most satisfactory--which was certainly true this week. Derrick Lynn is to be congratulated of setting a posit Walter's. My service visits have been most satisfactory--which was certainly true this week. Derrick Lynn is to be congratulated of setting a positive tone in his department. Everyone there makes me feel welcome. Kimberly always makes sure I have a bottle of water. Jason is a great mechanic who cheerfully answers any questions I have. They do a great job of washing my car on each visit--not just a hose off, but a full wash/vacuum/tire dressing. I drove from Orange to Riverside to get a good deal originally after visiting 3 other closer dealers that jack up their prices...I intend to keep making the drive to Walter's because of the great service and the personal touch!

I brought my car in for a basic service and was treated like a million bucks. The Walters team was very nice and made me feel appreciated regardless of how much money I was spending.

I purchased a Fiat 500 Pop from Walters Fiat. I was very pleasantly surprised when I took my car in for it's first service. In the past when I purchased a new car and I would visit the service department I pleasantly surprised when I took my car in for it's first service. In the past when I purchased a new car and I would visit the service department I was treated much differently then the day I purchased it. Not so at Walters Fiat. Derrick Lynn was extremely pleasant and helpful. He went out of his way to assure that I was comfortable the entire time I was there. I had questions about my car and he took a great deal of time to help me. I chose to wait rather then take the ride home which they offered. Every person who passed me offered me something to drink, turn the tv on for me, get me a magazine etc... I was even surprised that when I stepped outside for a moment the mechanic approached me and informed me that my car would be ready soon. In a nut shell I was greeted with a pleasant smile and extremely GREAT customer service from everyone I came in contact with. I will be recommending Walters Fiat to everyone I know. More
This dealer has an advertised lost leader. I called asking about it, and said before I drove up I wanted to confirm the car was available, I was ensured it was. I even asked them to confirm and call b asking about it, and said before I drove up I wanted to confirm the car was available, I was ensured it was. I even asked them to confirm and call back which they did. Oh yes..."its still here"! Then I walked in the door and they said; "let's confirm it's still available," that's when I new they were full of garbage! They said they made a mistake. I understand the lost leader concept, but don't lie about it just to get the customer out to visit! Horrible! After that, I just felt like I did not want to do business with them! More
Bad experience !!!! Sales manager and online sales just try to get you in with lies! I contacted Walters Fiat to purchase a new car at their advertised price on the internet. Their internet sales person T try to get you in with lies! I contacted Walters Fiat to purchase a new car at their advertised price on the internet. Their internet sales person Tanya assured me four different cars at the same price where available, she emailed me multiple times saying that the price for the cars was the sales price listed on line. I called and emailed a day prior to assure that the car I wanted was still available and she confirmed it was. The next day I called in the morning to again confirm that the car was still there, and she said "yes it was and just ask for the manager when I arrive". I drove from Huntington Beach to Riverside in 2 hours of traffic to get there. I arrive at the dealership and tell them I am here to pick up the car I had picked out at the price Tanya quoted me. First they could not find the manager to verify the deal, then it comes into light that the car she told me I was getting two hours prior was actually sold two days earlier and there was no four cars at that price she told us. The manager then proceeded to walk away on multiple occasions leaving me just standing there avoiding the fact that he and his staff had lied to a customer . He had to be called repeatedly to the front of the dealership so he could try and amend the situation, and the best he said he could do was 2500 more than the advertised price. I asked him "then why did she tell me that the car was there and that you said ok to the deal" again; he said he does not know. I called his internet sales person Tanya again and she was "on a break" for over an hour. I left multiple messages which were never returned. The manager said he could not get a hold of his own employee. Very unhappy drove home in traffic again after being lied to on multiple occasions. Worst car experience I have had. Very unhelpful, full of lies. If you are buying a car call and speak to the manager to assure what you want is there. Watch out for their scams very un professional. More
Purchased my 500 Sport back in March. Lauren was most friendly, helpful and explained everything in detail. I live in Woodland Hills but have purchased all my cars, including several Mercedes Benz and ev friendly, helpful and explained everything in detail. I live in Woodland Hills but have purchased all my cars, including several Mercedes Benz and even a Smart from Walters over the years. They even delivered my new car to me in Woodland Hills! Since owning the car, I've done several modifications on it and Derrick Lynn, Service Manager, couldn't be more awesome! He knows everything about these cars and goes out of his way to assist, consult and help with any questions, concerns or issues that might come up. I've been extremely happy with all my experiences at Walters Fiat and highly recommend anyone wanting a Fiat to see them. Their knowledge, friendliness and experience make buying a Fiat a very pleasant experience and since they are in Riverside, their lower cost of doing business translates to savings for their customers.

I ca little car immediately. Sales rep was great help, very knowledgeable and courteous on such a hot frustrating day, she helped make my day better. I came in rags but no one still looked down on me(so I didnt notice anyway). But the process was not long at all. I'm recommending this place to any friend and family who is in need of a new vehicle.

We were greeted in a warm and professional manner by every member of staff. Sam, our sales rep was very knowledgeable, but not at all pushy. He is very customer oriented in that he wants to help you fin every member of staff. Sam, our sales rep was very knowledgeable, but not at all pushy. He is very customer oriented in that he wants to help you find a car that meets your needs and if you are not time to think about it he doesn't use pushy sales tactics. We actually took a car on a test drive and then returned about a week later and we got a really great deal on a new fiat. He and his manager Edward Finley really worked with us to help us stay within out budget. More
