Chevrolet Dealer Serving Santa Maria, CA
Chevrolet Dealer Serving Santa Maria, CA — Rio Vista Chevrolet
Rio Vista Chevrolet in Buellton is the Central Coast's go-to Chevrolet dealer for Santa Maria drivers. Just 30 miles and about 35 minutes down Highway 101, we offer something most local dealers can't match — no-markup pricing on every new Chevrolet, the largest HD truck and work truck selection in the region, and free delivery anywhere in California if you'd rather skip the drive entirely.
Why Santa Maria Buyers Choose Rio Vista
No-Markup Pricing — Every Vehicle
Every new Chevrolet at Rio Vista is priced at or below MSRP. No dealer markups, no surprise fees, no negotiating games. Santa Maria buyers consistently tell us that our straightforward pricing was worth the drive down 101 — and for those who'd rather not make the trip, we bring the truck to you.

Don't have time to drive to Buellton? Browse our inventory online, select your vehicle, complete your paperwork remotely, and we'll deliver it directly to you in Santa Maria at no extra cost. Same no-markup price, zero delivery fee, your vehicle arrives at your door.
The Largest HD Truck Selection on the Central Coast
Rio Vista is tied for the most Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD sales in the region. For Santa Maria's agricultural operators, contractors, and construction crews, that means more configurations, more trims, and more diesel options in stock right now — without waiting months for a factory order. Whether you need a service body, flatbed, or crew cab diesel for heavy hauling, we're stocked for it.
Work Truck Inventory Built for the Central Coast
Santa Maria's agricultural and construction community has specific needs — and we stock for them. From upfitted service trucks and landscape dump bodies to crew cab diesels built for heavy towing, our commercial work truck inventory goes well beyond what a standard dealership carries. If you're outfitting a fleet or replacing a work vehicle, call us first.
4.9 Stars Across 2,500+ Independent Reviews
Over 1,100 Google reviews at 4.9 stars and over 1,000 DealerRater reviews. Real customers, two separate platforms, one consistent message: Rio Vista delivers on its promises. One in three Santa Maria customers either comes back for their next vehicle or sends a neighbor our way — and that's the review that matters most.
Family-Owned Since 1991
Rio Vista Chevrolet has been owned and operated by the Sell family for over 35 years. We're not a corporate dealership — we're your neighbors on the Central Coast, and we're here for the long haul. Straight talk, fair pricing, and genuine care about your experience every time.
