I highly recommend Classic Vans to anyone looking for a recreational or accessibility van. The sales, service and financial staff are very easy to work with and genuinely has the customers best interest at heart. I'm extremely happy with every aspect of purchasing my new mobility van. Don't waste your time going anywhere else when looking. They have everything you need and want! Charles & Florine Thompson read more

A great family owned business. They've treated me well over the years. I bought a van here and sold it several years later when I didn't need it any longer. A good deal both times read more

I can not recommend Classic Vans and their team highly enough! This has been the absolute best experience I have ever had with any type of vehicle dealer, new or used. My wife and I purchased a 2013 class C Mercedes Sprinter Chassis Winnebago from Classic Vans last year, February of 2023. Our experience with them was great from the beginning and continues to be great. We just happened to drive by and saw their lot and stopped. We'd been looking for the right thing for a few years and suddenly there it was. John Carey, the owner helped us out and we felt comfortable with him from the start. They had a great limited time warranty and they completely lived up to their obligation without hesitation. There were a few problems, which is to be expected with an older used RV, but they took care of every problem without hesitation. Replaced a battery that went bad after two months, an ignition that was glitchy and took months for mercedes to diagnose, and the rooftop AC that went out. I am so grateful for the integrity and honesty of John and the organization. Marty and Sevi who run repairs and maintenance were also fantastic. They have taken care of every problem very quickly. We didn't have to wait weeks or months like at most RV places to get service. And when we have a question or an issue, I can call or email them and they'll tell me what the problem likely is and parts to replace and even help me find the part. They're shop is about two hours from us but I will always take it to them for repairs because they're so honest, reliable and quick. Classic Vans is a family run operation and we can tell because they treat us with that same consideration. Thank you!! read more

Was my first time experience getting into an Explorer Van. Went here after spotting a van on CL. Met with Serio and he was both friendly, courteous, and communicative. Ended up with a slightly used van that I liked and they were able to add a few extras to sweeten the deal. Some problems arose after the sale with the van and they were able to take care of all them - no questions asked, some of which were beyond their control. Marty was also knowledgeable and friendly with technical aspects of the van. For those that are worried, their follow up service continues after the sale. They seem to be honest and value your business, therefore I would recommend Classic Vans. Oh - and another reviewer made some accusations of racism. That is a serious accusation, and shouldn't be made lightly (perhaps one that is made too often these days - many times w/o warrant). I bring this up because I did not get any inkling of that feeling whatsoever in my experience dealing with them. read more

Ive bought two campers(unplanned) through CV. A Pleasure Way which was quickly stolen and then a Travato. The prices are high. I knowingly overpaid on both BECAUSE having been to numerous dealers they were the only ones to offer a free warranty on their used vehicles, its family owned and if they mess something up they make it right, and the employees feel invested in each other there, blood and chosen family alike, and that warms my heart. Somethings bought cheaper can cost a lot more down the road in $$ and headaches IMHO. Lori read more

The old man agent was so rude and very racist, the first thing he said do not pull your camera pull out your check. We just ask if we can see the 9 sitter van since we are ready to buy 2 vans, he make us feel we can not afford it. I just said sir you don't have to be rude, we just want to see the inventory, he walk away and just left us. He does even deserve 1 star. I never experience rude car sales man but we found he is the owner so he does not really care, he just assumed we can not afford it. read more

What turned into a check it out to see became a purchase. Serio and the whole team was awesome from start to finish. Low pressure to buy and they explained everything fully. We were encouraged to look around and when someone did not know the answer they tagged teamed the response. We got a full overview of the vehicle purchased and I was able to trade in and get it financed. The tech also provided us recommendations on batteries and other small upgrades that make a big impact over the course of ownership. I was able to do a lot of the leg work and conversations of next steps via email and phone so I literally walked off a plane and within two hours I was able to drive off with the vehicle. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

I contacted this dealer through the web as most people do... this unit was $15,000 overpriced according to NADA. A. 2005 Pleasure Way diesel. I was willing to pay top dollar for what it was worth even on the high end. So I made an offer. That's what their website says...make an offer! Check out the reply they sent me...lol.."they had no control over the price" and that it didn't include tax and licensing so it would have been out the door grand total of $65,000 which is $20,000 over it's retail value. I don't know where their other reviews come from but honestly they have people posting reviews to help them get on their feet. Here's the honest truth they're taking advantage of supply and demand to a level that's clearly dishonest. I wouldn't buy here now even if they are the best damn taken care of vehicles.. Since when do people have " no control over the price of their own things that they sell? Crazy lame excuse. BUYER BEWARE read more

I would give you 10 stars if I could! Thank you!!! read more

It did not surprised me to see a 5 Star rating for Classic Vans and I'll tell you why.... We bought our Class B motorhome, 1999 Volkswagen Winnebago Rialta from Classic Vans. We originally had planned on purchasing a 2000 Chinook as we love the Ford chasis because it had tons of torque power to tow a car or a trailer and it was longer and roomier inside. But, after measuring the width of our long 200 feet driveway, it wasn't going to fit. Also, the Chinook had the permanent bathroom that appealed to us for longer vacations. However, after talking to our Classic Vans specialist, he really listened to our needs especially when he discovered that our driveway was way too narrow for the Chinook to clear. Low and behold, it just so happened they had a Volkswagen Rialta in their lot that day that was just perfect for us. I was sold on the 21mpg on highway, the VR6 Engine, the two twin beds, a separate computer desk with a built in chair with seat belts for me to work remotely, a built in generator to power everything like roof air conditioner, microwave and fridge when we go boondocking in the middle of nowhere, but.... the pullout bathroom... we weren't so sure. However, the Rialta with it being 22 ft long, can be park in a standard diagonal parking, it can even fit in between parallel metered parking in San Francisco (I've done it)... was impressive. We went home and thought about it for a couple of sleepless nights (all the excitement of build up), we then decided to purchase the Rialta. Our experience with Classic Van was amazing. They took care of all the paperwork, they cleaned our Rialta in and out and made it "spicken" brand new, and the carpets even had the plastic covering (reminded me of my aunt's sofa from the Philippines) hahaha..., and they even gave us all the little things that we needed to get us going for our first "glamping" which included the toilet necessities (biodegradable environmentally safe liquids). Oh and they threw in the 30 amps converter to 20 amps for free. Our Rialta has only about 36,000 miles. We put 30,000 miles of it ourselves. We are so happy with our purchase from Classic Vans. In fact, we are in the process of adding a solar roof, changing out the bathroom layout, replacing the generator, removing the microwave for a convection oven, installing hardwood floors, upgrading to all LED lighting and more. Lastly, if you are in the market to purchase a van, a class B motorhome, look no further. Classic Vans have excellent customer service and they will followup with you in 90 days to make sure you are very happy with your purchase. They also provided us a free oil change in the first 90 days. I highly recommend them as they really go the extra mile to fit you with the right vehicle. PS - our Rialta has an outdoor shower with hot/cold that comes in handy when we take our dogs to the beach and rinse them off. Makes life so easy. :p Cheers! read more

I have no idea why it has taken me so long to write what amazing review about a company that I've now purchased 4 Handicapped accessible vans over a 22 year period. When it comes to customer service I not sure I could have been treated any better . I've used them to service and repair when needed the lifts on our vans and never had any problems. When I've purchased my vans I always left feeling I was dealt with in good faith . If I could give them more stars I would !! Mike read more

Are there six stars available? Everyone I have worked with from online quoting, purchase, financing, to pick up... all went GREAT! From front office to service technicians, I am speechless on the great level of service they provided my family and I. We bought our camper van and ran into a minor accident 2 days after. Serio and the whole team were more than helpful, empathetic, and upstanding to support my family's purchase. I would absolutely do business with them again and would refer anyone to them who is considering making van purchases! read more

We got our very first Camper Van from Classic Vans and it was a delightful experience. They were highly detailed, we felt no pressure to buy, and were honest about what they thought was good value for money! We highly recommend checking them out. read more

They have a great selection and the prices were good but there was no one working. I waited 20 minutes walking around then I went inside to find someone and no one was there. Now I get to travel to Sacramento to their competitor. Hopefully they will have someone to assist me. read more

Great buying experience!!! Was looking for a 9 passenger van and came across Classic Vans in Hayward. Jonathan and Serio were very pleasant and professional.

There are very few comfortable wheelchair van options when you need a full-size van. While looking for dealers, I found Classic Vans and let me tell you, I'm blown away by their company.

I can wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone looking to buy any conversion vehicle, not just for wheelchair vans! read more

This fantastic Campervan dealership has again come through for us. I agree, if 6 stars were available I would click on that. We bought a campervan that was delivered to our door during the pandemic year. Every little thing that needed attention was handled by Serio and Marty. We again bought a newer campervan just last week and again the service and attention to detail was superb. The unit was clean and sanitized and in excellent working order. It is a pleasure working with a top notch group!! Debe R. read more

We have been looking for a used Winnebago of a particular configuration and they have been hard to find. One popped up at Classic Vans. We called in the morning and they got back to us quickly letting us know that it was still available. We drove over and spent several hours looking over the rv. They stopped by to check if we needed help but did not pressure us. We then went and asked questions and they were highly knowledgeable about the rv. They even let us take it for a test drive. We did not end up buying it but I would definitely buy from them and would use them for service. They felt very honest and easy to deal with. read more

Great experience in buying and trading our previous car. We mostly worked with Jordan who was very kind and helpful and we really appreciate every one in the team. I highly recommend them. read more

we love our van!!! One of the BEST decision we've ever made! We were looking to upgrade from our westfalia to a proper rv style camper van. We found a van listed online and decided to take the trip to go see it. Staff was lovely. Serio didn't rush us, they don't shadow you through the lot, they let you walk through and check everything out. It let's you really experience everything for yourself without any pressure. All the vehicles were clean, and well maintained. When we did want more info Serio was right there to answer any and all questions with Marty as well. The light in the bathroom was missing the clear plastic cover, they didn't have a replacement part, but true to their word ordered us up a whole new light that arrived at our house just 2-3 days later! They don't rush you through the final walk around, any concerns they address and make sure are to your approval. They truly want to provide you with a van that you're going to love. Several weeks later we had a small leak in the sewage line, mind you this is a 2005 camper van, so not strange. We were able to use a local repair shop, no hassle with classic vans honoring the warranty. Pros: Fair prices Friendly and helpful staff Easy repairs if needed with warranty Well kept, well maintained stock Super Dog friendly!!!! Let us bring the dog with us! Cons: So far seriously none! Can't recommend this place enough! read more

A very thorough inspection process to ensure everything works! This family owned business understands real customer service, something lost or missing within the big corporations. We will be return customers, even though we have to travel out of state to see them. Barry Clayton read more

Hands down, an amazing experience! From hassle-free viewing of available vehicles, to friendly and knowledgeable staff and fast responses, I would highly recommend working with the wonderful family at Classic Vans!

Every step of the process was easy and fun! They really are the best around! read more

This dealership offers a highly qualified, knowledgeable staff with a variety of choices of camper vans.

We purchased a Class B just over a year ago from Classic Vans and everything about the experience was 5-star, from the salesperson (Serio) to the repair shop (Marty), they have been FANTASTIC to work with. There was no pressure on the sale. We went back on several occasions to check out what they had on their lot and we were able to freely roam the vans and take our time deciding what was best for us. The purchase was easy and no pressure. We then had some minor follow up we needed done in service and the service team has been just as incredible as the sales team. They have taken care of every single problem and question we've had without nickel and diming us on anything. They have stood behind their product 100% and provided us with top customer service every step of the way. When the time comes for a new van, without a doubt, this will be the place I'll go. read more

Following up on a previous negative review. After Classic Vans made 2 attempts to fix our wastewater/plumbing system which was under warranty, we took our camper van to a local RV repair shop. They solved the problem. We sent the repair bill to Classic Vans, they immediately send us a check to cover the repair. read more

I purchased my first Class B Van from Classic Vans in January after reviewing only photos online. Before delivering the van, the dealership provided an oil change, a welcome kit and four new tires. On the day of delivery, the delivery driver James spent several hours with me explaining various driving features, as I drove the van around town. Follow-up questions were handled by Face-Time sessions and the smiling faces and occasional chuckles of Michael and Marty. Marty especially had an abundance of patience as I was new to the Van World. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how helpful Serio and Jordan had been as they man the phone lines and always made themselves available for me. I am still amazed how knowledgeable they are about Class B Vans. I recently took my first road trip from Seattle to Arizona and Jordan and Serio were there to provide suggestions whenever I called with a question. These days everyone says they have customer service but this longtime family business actual practices it. My friends said I was crazy to buy an unseen, out-of-state van, but they were wrong. This 70 year old teacher was treated like family. Hella read more

Classic Vans - Safe Travels! - Car Dealers Near Me - Hayward, California

I would not recommend purchasing a previously owned van from Classic Vans in Hayward, CA. In December of 2020 we purchased a 2013 Pleasure Way campervan from Classic Vans. With the exception of the cheerful attitude of Marty, the service manager, we have been very frustrated by the treatment we've received from the very beginning of our dealings with this business. The salesman and owner we dealt with was John Carey. He all but ignored our primary requirement for a van, namely that it have a dining space in the front of the van. John is a classic old-school salesman. He hyped the obvious features of a vehicle while ignoring our specific primary need. We found him to be poorly informed about the van that we were considering and actually got quite caustic when we tried to clarify the issue about the front dining capability. We felt insulted by his manner and although he eventually apologized, it left us with a bad feeling about the entire transaction. We ended up buying the van because it met our most important criteria. We paid the full sticker price and were give a 90 day warranty to cover any problems that we might have. We didn't take the van out for a trip until the warranty period was nearly up and only then did we discover a variety of issues that needed to be addressed. Classic Vans continued to work with us beyond the warranty period because some issues were identified before the warranty expired. These are some of the problems we've experienced with our van. Classic Vans fixed some things and failed to fix others. #1 There was something seriously wrong with the braking and steering. Classic Vans repaired the brakes which improved the steering and made the van feel safer to drive. #2 Black and grey water were leaking into the main drain pipe, making it very messy and unpleasant to empty the tanks. Classic Vans tried twice to fix this problem and yet the leaks still persist. #3 We started having poor water pressure in the camper systems. Classic Vans cleaned out the pump filter but failed to deal with the loose bolts that held the pump together. The pump continued to tear itself apart. #4 The kitchen faucet was locked into a central position making it hard to use the sink. According to the owner's manual, the faucet should swivel easily. After Classic Vans tried to solve this problem, the faucet was still hard to move and leaked all over the counter. They promised to replace the faucet but returned the van to us without installing the new faucet. #5 The backup camera stopped working and we were told it wasn't covered in our warranty. #6 Recently we had the tires rotated for the first time since buying the van and then noticed considerable vibration and wobbling in the steering. Our local shop discovered that both the front wheels, which had been in the back when we bought the van, were bent, thus causing the steering problem. When the wheels were returned to their original position, the steering problem went away. #7 The refrigerator makes a persistent beeping noise when operating on 12 volt. #8 The climate control in the front of the van is uncontrollable, shifting randomly in temperature and force. During his sales pitch John Carey emphasized that their shop goes through each van, checking all its systems and making any necessary repairs before it is sold. Considering all the problems we've had with our van, it seems Classic Vans did a poor job of recognizing and repairing a host of issues with the vehicle they sold us. The treatment we received from John Carey is regrettable. When we bought this van we didn't imagine that every trip would be shadowed by the expectation that something else would go wrong once we were out on the road. read more

Do not trust their pricing! I tried to work with them on pricing for a new vehicle and they (Serio and others) consistently made major errors, always in their favor by many hundreds of dollars. They could not do simple calculations in an Excel spreadsheet. They could not calculate sales tax correctly. They could not provide accurate quotes for 2 different trim options. And it took days to provide pricing and corrections to their errors. When trying to discuss this with Jonathan Carey, the owner, he got very upset and called me an a--hole and hung up on me. I would strongly encourage everyone to purchase elsewhere from someone more trustworthy, professional and courteous. read more

Classic Vans in Hayward had the handicap van I needed with the right features for me, automatic in floor ramp automatic lowering and door opening. I was able to go pick it up same day drove away in less than an hour! Started the inquiry and details on the phone with Jordan then finished up paper work and payment upon arrival with Serio, like I said drove away in less than an hour, no hassle no problems. Later I requested some added service I wanted and was directed to the service department with Nancy and Marty. Nancy was super helpful and set everything up and then Marty ordered the parts I needed and finished everything as scheduled with no problems, Marty was very helpful and patient and did a great job on the van and is extremely knowledgeable. Both of them were a big help and very pleasant to deal with, I will have no problem taking it back to them for its scheduled maintenance too. Their VMI conversion wheel chair van is an absolute godsend getting someone in a wheel chair to their appointments and it allows for pleasure trips too. Total back saver. If you are taking care of someone you need a van like this. These vans are awesome! Classic Vans was very helpful. Great place to do business with! read more

This place is great! My mother bought her first RV (a RoadTrek) here a couple months ago, and her experience was very positive all the way through. They were extremely patient with all of her pre-purchase questions during multiple visits, have worked closely with her to make sure she understands all the systems, and are very accommodating with the warranty. All the staff have been so friendly and knowledgeable; she felt she got a fair deal on the vehicle and has the support she needs in the future. read more
