Dave & Justin in the Service Department are great. My issue is that I feel that I am paying 25-35% more than I should for repair work.

The dealership makes money on their parts, their fee for diagnostics, and on the mechanic's labor. The fact that they charge by the book rate instead of actual time is a ripoff to the customer. Going forward it has become clear to me that I should seek outside dealership repairs by non-affiliated, but qualified mechanics. Additionally, a Service rate of $199/hour is just insane. More

Rio Vista should be called Hometown Chevrolet, because the minute you walk in the door you feel like you are at home. I dealt with an exceptional sales representative, Marcia Ridpath, when I sold my BMW 6 the minute you walk in the door you feel like you are at home. I dealt with an exceptional sales representative, Marcia Ridpath, when I sold my BMW 650i Convertible. If you need to sell a used vehicle please consider going through Rio Vista Chevrolet used car sales, and ask for Marcia. She is amazing. She made the process so straightforward and her pleasant attitude is only superseded by her infectious smile. She is extremely knowledgeable about not only Chevrolets, but many other cars too. She knew more about My BMW than I did for sure. Thank you again, Marcia and Rio Vista Chevrolet. More

I reached out and Had been in the market for a GM truck for a few months when I finally came across one that had almost everything I was looking for. I reached out and was lucky enough to have her help getting eyes on it and sending pictures and all the info I needed since I lived 6 hours away. They had the free CA delivery at this time so decided to take advantage and have it dropped at my door step. All the financial and GM paper work was quick and easy. Very happy with my purchase and the Rio Vista team! More
