I called the next morning to let them know I really needed to get the tire replaced early so I could checkout of my hotel room (had two rooms). Mark said I would be first up for service. Just my luck, the tire could not be repaired, I figured that because it wasn't taking any air. Unfortunately they would have to order it, but they had a used tire that wouof work. I had no choice and put the used tire on. The cost was only $43 total for tire and service. No price gouging! Suoer nice and honest people. I usually don't write review, but they deserve a positive review. Thank you all for the quick and professional service.

If you're car shopping and want someone who actually feels like a human being instead of a walking…read moresales script, ask for Ruben at Rio Vista Chevrolet in Buellton. We met Ruben early on while just doing some preliminary shopping, and he immediately stood out. He's incredibly thoughtful, genuinely knowledgeable, and just easy to talk to. No pressure, no weird sales tactics, no "let me go talk to my manager" theatrics every five minutes. Just a real, down-to-earth guy who knows his stuff and respects your process. What we appreciated most is that he listened. He didn't try to steer us into something we didn't want or rush us into a decision. He answered questions honestly, gave helpful insight, and made the whole experience feel comfortable instead of stressful. In a world where car buying can feel like navigating a maze with hidden traps, Ruben is the straight path. If you want a smooth, no-nonsense experience with someone you can actually trust, he's your guy.

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.

They did a wonderful job!! Hats off to the guys at 101 Auto Shop on Ave of the Flags!! Thanks guys, Lovejoy P.

Unfortunately, I wasn't very happy with my experience at 101 Auto Shop in Buellton…read more I brought my vehicle in because it was overheating. They diagnosed the issue as a sensor or similar component, replaced it, and the bill was around $350. I assumed the overheating problem had been properly diagnosed and resolved. Not long afterward, I took the vehicle on a road trip out of town and it overheated again, leaving me stranded. After getting it looked at elsewhere, I was told the vehicle had cracked heads. Being out of town without a nearby machine shop made getting the vehicle--and myself--back home quite an ordeal. Obviously, mechanical problems can sometimes be difficult to diagnose, and I'm not a mechanic. But when a vehicle comes in specifically for overheating, I would have expected more extensive diagnostics, such as a compression or similar test, to rule out a serious engine problem before replacing a sensor and sending it back out. Had the underlying problem been caught initially, it could have saved me from getting stranded out of town and a whole lot of hassle. Based on my experience, I was disappointed with the diagnosis and wouldn't feel confident bringing a vehicle here again for a significant mechanical issue.

For warrantee and service work we have, over the years, taken our 2012 Ford E-350 Super Duty…read moreEconoline based camper van to our local Buellton Ford dealer, Vreeland Ford, to accomplish. Recently the driver side rear wheel would get "too hot to touch" after driving at 65 mile per hour. We took the van to our local "go to" Ford fixer dealer. On 12 May 2022 the Service Department accepted our van; for them to find the reason for the problem and put the cost of that toward the actual repair. Since the van was there, we added an engine oil change and their multipoint inspection to the service order. After two days of not hearing anything, we called the Service Department and find that they decided that they could not work on our van because it was a camper; with tanks and things hanging off the bottom of the van. Nothing had been done. Not even the oil change. Words that we never expected to hear from our "can do" Ford dealer. As mentioned, this same van has had warrantee work and service performed over the past years at the local Vreeland Ford dealer and there was not word one about it being a camper; and that being a problem for them. And it was the same camper van that we brought to our local Vreeland Ford dealer to fix this time. This was a lonely feeling; Ford could not fix our Ford van. Fortunately, a local auto repair shop could. Valley Automotive, 1.3 road miles from Vreeland Ford, took apart our vehicle's suspect parts without any whining and gave us great explanations about what they found. They repaired our Econoline Van without one word about it being a camper; or that being a camper was a problem. It looks like Ford Service told us an untruth about the camper being a problem; or they did not know how to fix our Ford. Thank You Very Much Jim, Mark, and Paul - Chuck & Vickie Sorensen

But, I have always known that whatever problem presented itself, John and his team would fix the problem in a timely manner, at a fair price, and with a knowledge that if the problem was not fixed, he would make it right.

I live about 90 miles away, but always had a feeling that Vreeland Ford would provide me with great small town service. I must say that I was not disappointed. In fact, I was very impressed, enough in fact, to write this review. Working with the finance manager Jenevieve Strommen was totally pain-free and totally professional. My experience in the past with finance managers has been somewhat less than satisfactory. I always got the feeling they felt they were doing me a favor. This is certainly not the case at Jim Vreeland Ford. I recommend that if you're looking for a new or used car or service on your current car do yourself a favor and try out Vreeland Ford. I will purchase my next vehicle there!
