I was shopping for a 2023 Chevy Bolt and contacted close to a dozen different Chevy dealers. Rio Vista's transparent pricing and low fees came out ahead of all the rest and Marcia Ridpath's early confirmati to a dozen different Chevy dealers. Rio Vista's transparent pricing and low fees came out ahead of all the rest and Marcia Ridpath's early confirmation to me (in December 2023) that Rio Vista would be participating in the $7500 EV point of sale credit starting in January 2024 sealed the deal. They offer free delivery in California too! Just received the Bolt EV and am a happy customer. More

Rio Vista Chevrolet in Buellton has to be one of the best car buying experiences I’ve ever had, and I’ve been buying vehicles for over 25 years.

I live in Los Angeles. My current car lease was up and I wanted a new Chevy Bolt. I tried with several local dealers, but I found it impossible to find a correctly option My current car lease was up and I wanted a new Chevy Bolt. I tried with several local dealers, but I found it impossible to find a correctly optioned vehicle without dealing with price mark-ups, dealer-added “paint protection” etc. and salesman who just wanted me to “come down” so they could work me over. I found Rio Vista online. They had the Bolt I wanted with a $1000 discount and no add-ons. I talked to salesperson Marcia Ridpath who was totally straightforward and helpful and she, along with manager Ty and finance person Erick made the whole experience so easy. Did the deal via texts and had a pleasant drive to Buellton. Buying the new car, taking a demo and short drive in it and turning in my leased car took less than an hour from the time I arrived. Beautiful drive and probably less time spent overall than if I bought in LA. I love my Bolt. More
