I just purchased a 2026 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, from Rio

I just purchased a 2026 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, from Rio Vista Chevrolet in Buellton, California. This is my 2nd truck from Rio Vista in 2 years. I love this dealership! Once again, Marcia Ridpath with this deal, and she is amazing. So sincere and knowledgeable, she answered every question I had, and was so patient—a real pleasure to work with. I absolutely recommend Marcia and will be back to Rio Vista soon!

I had a great experience thanks to both Daisy, the salesperson, and Tyler, the manager, Rio Vista Chevrolet in Buellton, CA. Daisy was professional and supportive, making sure everything went smoothly. She was in contact with us all along the way while we waited for our truck build to come in. Tyler, however, really went above and beyond. He took extra time to answer all my questions, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident with my decision. I truly appreciate the level of care they both provided.

I recieved amazing customer service at Rio Vista

I recieved amazing customer service at Rio Vista Chevrolet from Ruben, Tyler, Erick and Robert. They were all a pleasure to work with. This was the easiest car purchase I've ever made. I bought my car from home via text and phone. The dealership arranged to have my new car delivered to my home and they picked up my trade in as well.

I can’t tell you how good this dealership is.

I can’t tell you how good this dealership is. They make things happen and 100% take care of the customer. I live 400 miles away and only will buy from this dealership. They are honest and go the extra mile.

We had the best car buying experience here!

We had the best car buying experience here! The store felt welcoming and had a family-owned vibe. It was much nicer and more welcoming than a big corporate dealership. Our 2-year-old was excited to be there, and the staff was great with him. The manager, Oscar, even came in on his day off. He was straightforward and helpful, with no haggling. The finance manager was kind and thorough in explaining everything. We were in and out quickly. It was by far the easiest and smoothest car purchase we've ever had!

I had an amazing experience at Rio Vista!

I had an amazing experience at Rio Vista! From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was welcoming and helpful, creating such a comfortable atmosphere. After visiting a few other dealerships, this one truly stood out as the best. Ruben, my sales representative, went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. He was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about finding the right fit for me. Thanks to him and the whole team, I was able to purchase my truck, and everything went seamlessly from start to finish. If you’re looking for a dealership that makes you feel valued and taken care of, I highly recommend Rio Vista.
