My experience here was nothing like my experiences at car dealerships where they're pushy and clearly trying to rip you off. Before going, I called Ed for the Carfax and inspection report and he was very responsive and quick to reply. As soon as I arrived I got to test drive the car and see how I liked it. Ed didn't hover or badger me as I checked out the car like they do at dealerships, and was very helpful as I called and tried to set up insurance so I could drive it off the lot. When that didn't work, Rico was super helpful and contacted his broker for me and got my insurance set up very quickly. Initially, I thought the price was high, but he had the tires replaced and showed me everything he had fixed to prove it was not overpriced. He offered a warranty and gave me a price break so I took it because I want this car to last me as long as possible. Ed made me a cup of espresso while we went through the process of buying the car, and polished up the headlights before I drove off. The car is gorgeous and runs smoothly.

Exceptional Experience Defined by Trust and Professionalism…read more I recently purchased a Chevrolet Silverado from Rio Vista Chevrolet in Buellton, and the experience was truly exceptional. I have always found the car-buying process to be stressful and unpleasant; however, this was the first time it was efficient, transparent, and genuinely enjoyable. My sales representative, Marcia, was outstanding. She demonstrated a high level of professionalism, integrity, and responsiveness throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and timely, expectations were set accurately, and there were no surprises. The level of trust and transparency she provided made the entire transaction straightforward and stress-free. I also utilized the dealership's complimentary vehicle delivery service, which was handled flawlessly. The process was well-organized, punctual, and reflected a strong commitment to customer convenience and operational excellence. From start to finish, this experience set a new standard for how car buying should be done. Rio Vista Chevrolet operates with efficiency, honesty, and professionalism that is rare in this industry. Without hesitation, my next planned vehicle purchase--scheduled for about a year from now--will be with this dealership. 10 out of 10 stars. Highly recommended.

I recently needed to take my Chevy Blazer in for an issue with the amount of oil it was burning. I was told that it would be taken care of in about 2 days. But once they started work on it, they determined that it was a little more time than expected. After a through check, ordering parts, and scheduling of their technicians, I was able to pick my car a week later. In the beginning, I was a little annoyed with the fact that it was going to take so long, but once we my service rep went through all that was repaired, I felt better. They had repaired issues that I was unaware of before they became a bigger problem later and all under warranty. Thanks to the staff at Rio Vista Chevrolet in Buellton.

The financing process was straight forward as Aaron was very direct in the cost, availability of incentives, and upgrade options.
