Made my LIFE! My vehicle was totaled in an accident and I was so impressed with the protection that I searched for another one. Found the same year/model online at My vehicle was totaled in an accident and I was so impressed with the protection that I searched for another one. Found the same year/model online at Rio Vista Chevrolet, 300 miles away in Buellton, CA.. I contacted Oscar Sanchez and after talking to Oscar and receiving photos, I was given a great deal and the vehicle would be delivered to my house (300 miles) for inspection and a test drive at no charge. How better could it get? It was delivered the next day, in very nice condition, as described to me, and I bought it. I also called him and Eric gave me a great deal on an Extended Warranty. It was painless, unlike my accident, and I am amazed at the quality and ease of this whole transaction. Bob and Darryl delivered, as did Oscar and Eric. Although I purchased a Ford from them, I will definitely recommend Rio Vista Chevrolet to anyone shopping for a vehicle, new or used. I am SO HAPPY! Thanks to you all! 😎👍🏻 More

Tahoe Purchase I purchased a Certified pre-owned Chevy Tahoe. As in my past experiences with Rio Vista, it was another great experience. I purchased a new Suburban f I purchased a Certified pre-owned Chevy Tahoe. As in my past experiences with Rio Vista, it was another great experience. I purchased a new Suburban from them about twenty years ago and nothing has changed. The staff is friendly, honest, the transaction was handled quickly and the price was very fair. I have also used their service department several times, always leaving as a satisfied customer (in fact, I often get a follow-up phone call from a manager to make sure I was satisfied). I would highly recommend Rio Vista Chevrolet to anyone considering a new or used vehicle purchase or who needs their car serviced or repaired. More

Th Everything was simple and fast. I walked into the dealership and was able to look at and test drive the vehicle I was interested in within minutes. The staff was very knowledgeable about the vehicle and its technology. Once the credit application was completed, I was able to leave. John and Samuel contacted me when they were ready for me to return to sign paperwork, which was very convenient with a new baby. I would definitely recommend this dealership based on my excellent experience. More

Samuel Ibarra This is the best dealership we’ve ever been to. The experience we had today will keep us going back for years to come. When we pulled into the deale This is the best dealership we’ve ever been to. The experience we had today will keep us going back for years to come. When we pulled into the dealership looking for a truck we were greeted by Samuel. When I say greeted I don’t mean a pushy sales man. He treated like us like family, as if he had know us forever. As for the rest of the staff we incountered they were also just warm and welcoming. Needless to say Samuel helped us with everything even down to delivering the vehicle to our home. We will recommend Rio Vista Chevrolet to everyone we know looking for a vehicle. Thank you Rio Vista Chevrolet for your amazing service and hospitality. More
