Rio Vista Chevrolet was an absolute pleasure to work with. By far the easiest car buying experience with a dealer I have ever had.

Ruben did a great job providing the necessary details and any additional information I requested regarding the truck. We did everything over the phone via text and one phone call. Rio Vista Chevrolet is great because they are straightforward with their pricing. No hidden markups, no "mandatory" door guard, lojack, appearance protection package xx. Ruben worked with my schedule to have the truck delivered a few days later and followed up a couple of times to make sure any questions I had were answered. I honestly can't say enough positive things about my experience with Rio Vista and Ruben. I will absolutely be back when I'm in the market for another Chevy. More
