Phil Hendershot (Internet Sales Manager) earned my trust through emails and phone conversations. I live in Paso Robles, Ca. and the dealership is 70 miles away in Buelton, Ca. I bought a 2005 Corvette wit through emails and phone conversations. I live in Paso Robles, Ca. and the dealership is 70 miles away in Buelton, Ca. I bought a 2005 Corvette with 20600 miles on it and sold my 2011 Elantra to them over the internet without either of us seeing the vehicles in person until delivery at Rancho Grande Motors in San Luis Obispo, Ca.. I was very pleased with the price of the Corvette and with the trade in value they gave me for my Elantra. The delivery man Al (retired CHP) could not say enough great things about the owners of both Rio Vista Chevrolet (Buelton) and Rancho Grande Motors (San Luis Obispo) the Sell Family. He has known the family for well over 20 years and said that I would be completely satisfied with my purchase and the dealership, as they are honest, caring, and dependable. We also had bought a GMC dually in Paso Robles in the past (it was end of year and most dealers were out of dually's by then including Rancho Grande Motors.) We have always taken our truck to Rancho Grande Motors for service even though we bought it in Paso Robles and it is a much longer drive. We trust the outstanding dealership's Service Dept. with our truck. I purchased the 2011 Hyundai Elantra from Rancho Grande Motors and sold them my previous Corvette and was completely satisfied with the pricing for buying and selling the vehicles that day. The General Sales Manager, Chris Wallace at Rancho Grande Motors is also excellent. I previously would never have thought that I would purchase a vehicle over the internet without even seeing it. Phil Hendershot at Rio Vista Chevrolet, earned my trust and confidence during our deal and made it a very fun experience. I give five stars to him, the Sell Family and their dealerships!

Over the years I have purchased many cars but never had an experience where the experience could be termed fun- until I went to RioVista. Initially I started discussing my needs with Sam and then Phil step an experience where the experience could be termed fun- until I went to RioVista. Initially I started discussing my needs with Sam and then Phil stepped in to make sure all went smoothly. The time he spent with me to make sure that I was comfortable with my purchase far exceded my expectations. My demo ride created the opportunity to explore all aspects of my car in great detail and no question was left unanswered. Sam was instrumental in securing my car from another dealer. The attitude of the other dealer was dramatically different then what I found at Rio Vista. To underscore this point Sam personally went the distance to secure my car. Phil took over from that point and insured everything else was perfect. I travled from another state (Nevada) and plan on making all my future auto purchases at RioVista. More
