The price was a little more than places I've been before but it was the first mechanic I've been to where I wasn't upsold or felt like I was being scammed in any way (which is huge when I go by myself, as a woman). Definitely planning on coming here again!

I went in for an oil change, extremely reasonably priced. This team went above and beyond, I went in for my oil change and they saw that I had a nail and one of my tires. They called me to let me know, patched it within 20 minutes. I will definitely be coming back for a regular maintenance here :)

I cannot say enough positive things about this establishment and their staff. What a class act…read moregroup of people, truly. My story is long and rather unfortunate, but the team at Olivera's helped make a bad situation a little more tolerable. Let me explain. I was on a joy ride from San Diego, where I live, all the way up to San Francisco to visit a buddy of mine who I never got to see. I own a 2014 Mini Cooper S Convertible, and it was a beautiful day for a long drive up the coast with the top down. But while passing through the cute little city of Buellton, my car suffered a catastrophic engine failure. I initially thought the alternator died, but that wasn't the case. After inspection at Olivera's, it turned out to be much worse. They (correctly) determined the coolant was somehow pouring directly into the engine and mixing with the oil. The dipstick looked like it had been dipped into a milkshake. Not good. But the car is secondary to the *actual* service I received from the staff at Olivera's. Cars can be fixed. This review is about hospitality. That said, I would fully trust these guys with my car. They've been doing this for many years and clearly know what they're talking about. All car owners worry about being lied to by their mechanic. At Olivera's, I do not see that ever being the case. These are genuinely nice people, and trust goes a long way here. I arrived just shy of closing time on a Friday evening, around 4:40 p.m. Seeing me come off of a tow truck, they immediately broke the tension with, "So, how's YOUR day going?" It put a little smile on my face. I explained the situation and that I would likely be stuck in Buellton for the weekend while the car was repaired. They immediately offered suggestions on where to stay and where to eat. No pressure, no rushing since it was closing time, no macho car talk. They simply heard my story and felt my pain. Bob, one of their mechanics, even offered me a ride to the Motel 6 down the road. That was Green Flag #1. I chose it based on their recommendation. Yes, it's a simple motel, but for my needs it was spot-on. They placed me in the least expensive and most centrally located place in town, with restaurants, parks, and a grocery store nearby, and still only about half a mile from the shop. That ended up being a huge deal because I would ultimately be stuck in Buellton for an entire week. On Monday when they inspected the car, Emmet, the owner, invited me down to see the diagnosis in person. I could immediately see the concern in his eyes and from the mechanic working on the car. They knew the news was bad and delivered it with genuine empathy. They were incredibly gentle with me, which meant a lot. Over the following days I had several phone calls with them and made a few visits to the shop. Each time felt more like visiting family than dealing with a repair shop. Mark, who has been there for years, was always great to chat with. Matt, the future owner, was a really good guy. Chu (I believe that's his name) was always supportive. None of them felt like "staff." This clearly felt like a family operation. Emmet has been an unbelievable support through the entire experience. Even as we shook hands goodbye, he offered to keep my car safely parked in his lot while I figured out transportation back to San Diego. I am writing this review from San Diego while my car still sits in his lot in Buellton. It's unsettling being five hours away from a dead car, but I feel completely safe knowing that it's in their hands. Let this review serve as a huge thank you to Olivera's, Emmet, and the entire staff. Everyone there was exceptional. And from watching other customers come in, it is clear that this is how they treat all people. They treat people like people, not numbers. It truly feels like a family. If you are anywhere near Buellton, I would not take my car anywhere else. EASY 5 stars from me. Not even a question.

Exceptional Experience Defined by Trust and Professionalism…read more I recently purchased a Chevrolet Silverado from Rio Vista Chevrolet in Buellton, and the experience was truly exceptional. I have always found the car-buying process to be stressful and unpleasant; however, this was the first time it was efficient, transparent, and genuinely enjoyable. My sales representative, Marcia, was outstanding. She demonstrated a high level of professionalism, integrity, and responsiveness throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and timely, expectations were set accurately, and there were no surprises. The level of trust and transparency she provided made the entire transaction straightforward and stress-free. I also utilized the dealership's complimentary vehicle delivery service, which was handled flawlessly. The process was well-organized, punctual, and reflected a strong commitment to customer convenience and operational excellence. From start to finish, this experience set a new standard for how car buying should be done. Rio Vista Chevrolet operates with efficiency, honesty, and professionalism that is rare in this industry. Without hesitation, my next planned vehicle purchase--scheduled for about a year from now--will be with this dealership. 10 out of 10 stars. Highly recommended.

Well…read moreI got told no by so many people and others quoted me a ridiculous price (local Ford dealer). Well after giving up someone told me about Storey Motors. Jay Storey, the owner, used to work at Ford so I figured he knew Fords. After getting in contact with him he told me no problem and quoted me way less than any shop. So on to the review. I dropped the car off with the parts and went to work. Jay was very courteous and friendly. I felt like my car was in good hands. I got a call later in the day saying everything went perfectly. After work I picked up my car and he explained everything and asked if I had any questions or wanted anything explained further. He even saved my stock parts for me, which I forgot to tell him I wanted saved, but he did anyways. My car is even better now. The install looks very clean and no issues at all. I would recommend Storey Motors to anyone wanting quality work on their car. It is a plus that he works on Fords too since it seems lots of shops don't. I will definitely be back if i need anymore work done.

For warrantee and service work we have, over the years, taken our 2012 Ford E-350 Super Duty…read moreEconoline based camper van to our local Buellton Ford dealer, Vreeland Ford, to accomplish. Recently the driver side rear wheel would get "too hot to touch" after driving at 65 mile per hour. We took the van to our local "go to" Ford fixer dealer. On 12 May 2022 the Service Department accepted our van; for them to find the reason for the problem and put the cost of that toward the actual repair. Since the van was there, we added an engine oil change and their multipoint inspection to the service order. After two days of not hearing anything, we called the Service Department and find that they decided that they could not work on our van because it was a camper; with tanks and things hanging off the bottom of the van. Nothing had been done. Not even the oil change. Words that we never expected to hear from our "can do" Ford dealer. As mentioned, this same van has had warrantee work and service performed over the past years at the local Vreeland Ford dealer and there was not word one about it being a camper; and that being a problem for them. And it was the same camper van that we brought to our local Vreeland Ford dealer to fix this time. This was a lonely feeling; Ford could not fix our Ford van. Fortunately, a local auto repair shop could. Valley Automotive, 1.3 road miles from Vreeland Ford, took apart our vehicle's suspect parts without any whining and gave us great explanations about what they found. They repaired our Econoline Van without one word about it being a camper; or that being a camper was a problem. It looks like Ford Service told us an untruth about the camper being a problem; or they did not know how to fix our Ford. Thank You Very Much Jim, Mark, and Paul - Chuck & Vickie Sorensen
