Customer Name:	Kevin Noll from Palo Cedro
Vehicle Purchased:	2006 Ram Power Wagon
Review:	I walked into the lot to look specifically at the Power Wagon they had in stock. After drooling a little bit on the paint, John came up and offered me a test drive. That's all it really took for me to decide I wanted this truck. John was a good guy, and worked with me. He offered me an extended warranty that is unbeatable. Which was a good thing. The day after I bought it my rear locking differential locking motor went out. The dealership, John, was my first contact on the problem. They sent me to a shop nearby that took care of everything. I was really happy with the fact that John got it all handled for me and everything got fixed without incident. They covered the repair bill. The warranty itself ended up being used to get it fixed, which is fine. That's why I bought a warranty. I say thank you John for being there to help with the problem. Other than that one thing everything has been perfect. I love the truck and next time I need a vehicle I will most likely be back.


Customer Name:	Kimberly Parker from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2013 Ford Focus
Review:	The only situation I would see needing to be improved was that the car I purchased wasn't detailed at all!!! Kimberly, Thank you for the feedback. I appologize that the Focus wasn't properly detailed prior to your purchase. It must have mistakenly ended up out on the lot prematurely. It has happened before but it is a rare occurance. I will spread the word that we need to be more diligent in that area. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Barbara Durel, Valley Auto Wholesale


Customer Name:	Kenny Gonzalez from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2007 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 Truck
Review:	Good thing I got a warranty. The transmission needed to be rebuilt. I will be buying my next truck from you. Kenny, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback. I am so sorry to hear about the transmission! We have each vehicle safety inspected and smogged before offering it for sale. We use only highly experienced & respected 3rd party repair facilities but still vehicles can appear fine one day and then have a major part failure the next. That's why we offer the best aftermarket Service Contract we can find at a reasonable price. We, too, are very glad that you had that warranty and we are very happy that you still trust us enough to buy your next vehicle from us!! Thank you again. Barbara Durel, owner

Customer Name:	Jess Arnett from Anderson
Vehicle Purchased:	2004 Chevy Silverado 2500
Review:	Sales Team was awesome. John (Rosel) made my wife and I feel comfortable. Products on the lot are well prepared. Would really like to know more about the vehicle bought though! Overall very satisfied. Thank you!! Jess, Thanks so much for buying your truck from Valley Auto Wholesale. We try to find out as much as we can about each vehicle we offer for sale but unless it is a local trade in we only have the vehicle history report to go off of and it doesn't tell us a lot. Of course, on local trade ins we are not permitted to give out any previous owner information so even then there isn't really much info to share. Barbara Durel, Valley Auto Wholesale


Customer Name:	Jim & Sue Quibell from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2010 Honda Fit
Review:	Inner guidance brought me to your car lot (and yours alone - passed by many others, but did not "feel" desire to stop). John (Rosel) was the perfect salesperson - helpful and not pushy. I had let go of the idea that a truck or mini-van should be our next vehicle, but told John that was what I was looking for. (The FIT is like a mini mini-van!) He was showing me a car, when he mentioned the FIT had low miles. I turned around and it seemed perfect! Inner guidance again! My husband met me later at the lot to check it out, and John made it do-able. He was able to get financing that worked. The car is perfect for our needs. Thank you, John! Sue & Jim, Thank you so much for buying your Honda FIT from us! Your Sales Specialist, John Rosel, and all of us here at Valley Auto Wholesale just love it when everything falls into place so perfectly! Barbara Durel, Valley Auto Wholesale

Customer Name:	Michael Haller from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2006 Dodge Ram 3500
Review:	I rate quality of vehicle, questions answered clearly, made to feel comfortable, treated with courtesy & respect, and overall experience a 10. Documents explained well? I rate at 1 - Found out that the service contract didn't cover leaky gasket on transmission. (My salesperson was Duane Gazzigli) Michael, Thank you so much for your business & your feedback - both good & not so good. That's how we know what we are doing right and where we fall short. I'm so sorry that the FREE POWERTRAIN ONLY WARRANTY that we included with your purchase was not explained better at the time of vehicle delivery. We do offer other more comprehensive Service Contracts through PRco for purchase but the free 3 month, 3,000 miles powertrain only plan does have very limited coverage. Barbara Durel, Valley Auto Wholesale

Repeat customers are so important to us and the best form of flattery :-) Barbara Durel, Valley Auto Wholesale


Customer Name:	Tiffany Harris from Anderson
Vehicle Purchased:	2010 Honda CR-V
Review:	Could of negotiated on price better. Really didn't want to budge, but everything else was great! Thank you so much for the business Tiffany and the feedback! We try to price our vehicles more realistically to start with so there is not as much "wiggle room" as most dealers have. Also some vehicles are just really hard to find right now (quality Hondas are one of them) which means we have to pay more to get them. We do negotiate when we can :-) Barbara Durel, Valley Auto Wholesale


Customer Name:	Jerry Black from Redding

I will always come to Valley Auto Wholesale first to purchase a vehicle. Heather, Thanks so much, for your continued business AND the kind words! Our salesmen are not your typical car salesmen.

Customer Name:	David & Diana Aronson from Shingletown
Vehicle Purchased:	2010 Mazda Mazda 3
Review:	Mike (Eastman) & Steve (Glarson) were great! This is the second time we have bought from Mike. Although Larry (Birdsong) was rude to my wife when he found out we were working with Mike. Mike was gone for 20 minutes when we got there and Larry basically told us to leave and do something else while Mike was away because he would not earn commission on us and someone had to be there for us to stay. Lucky that you have Mike or we would have left then. Larry could use a nice people skills class or two. He is probably a nice guy. David & Diana, Let me start off by thanking you SO MUCH for your continued business and faith in us. Mike Eastman is definitely a valuable asset to VAW and a great person. We feel lucky to have him here as part of our team. I also want to thank you for taking the time to provide such valuable feedback. As an owner, I try to make ensure that every interaction reflects our core values and philosophy which is that "We Make Buying a Vehicle a Positive Experience!" When we fall short of that, for whatever reason, I need to know. Larry is usually much better with customers than this particular incident would indicate. I am so sorry that he behaved the way he did with you and I have spoken to him about this incident. Thank you for not leaving, for waiting for Mike to return, and for trusting us with your business, once again. Barbara Durel

I came back one Saturday morning and there it was waiting for me! The financing went easy and smooth, about an hour and a half later I was on the way home in my new fuel efficient Camry. I love it! Driving is fun again and I feel I got a safe, reliable car for those long trips down Highway 99 and I5. Thanks again Charlie (Durel) and Duane (Gazzigli)!!!!!!! Thank YOU Taylor!

Yes (Salesman: Duane Gazzigli) Response from VAW: George, Thank you so much for your business!!

Review:	Duane (Gazzigli) was awesome. We questioned our credit because we've been working so hard to better it but Duane assured us we wouldn't leave that lot without our car. He helped us with everything and guys like him are why we would definitely come back to Valley Auto Wholesale. Our purchase decision was influenced most by the Quality of the vehicle and the Price.


Customer Name:	Paul Nepper from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2006 Ford Mustang
Review:	What influenced my purchase most? Vehicle, Attitude & Larry Birdsong's calm demeanor. I was a F&I Manager for the largest used car dealerships in Reno, NV for 15 years - Also was used as a "closer" as you referred to in your narrative. Larry is a good salesperson - excellent attitude and approach to me & my issues in purchasing.


Customer Name:	Jim Hall from Shingletown
Vehicle Purchased:	2009 Nissan Murano

Customer Name:	Todd Morrison from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2003 Toyota Tacoma 4x4
Review:	This was the first time I've ever purchased a vehicle from a used car lot & was quite surprised at the professionalism.

Customer Name:	Kurt Walling from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2004 Ford F350

Customer Name:	Deepak & Namita Kurdekar from Santa Clara
Vehicle Purchased:	2008 BMW 328i
Review:	Buying a vehicle from VAW was a pleasant experience. It's a salesman's job to make the sale happen but to find an honest & cooperative salesman is your luck. I must say we're lucky to be helped by Duane Gazzigli, a gentleman who stepped into our shoes from customer's point of view, making sure we were absolutely satisfied with our purchase. He answered multiple phone calls in 5 hours & went out of his way calling people to get information that we wanted to know on our selected car. There's only 2 good reasons (do I need to mention) that made us drive 250 miles/3.5 hours (each way) with our 15-month old & that too on a Friday after office hours! I guess that says it all. Also, he gave us a good deal even before we started to drive as he didn't want our trip & time to go to waste. Every stage of our purchase was comfortable & relaxing & it was definately one of our most pleasant & smooth shopping experiences. He even followed up with us the next day to find out if we reached home safely with the little one. It's his attitude & pleasant personality which helped us in simplifying our decision. We are glad that we went with our instincts. Duane, we are already getting praises from our friends for getting such a beauty. So please keep getting good vehicles which would magnetize our friends to drive all the way to Redding from Bay Area. Thanks, Depak, Namita & Syou

Not only did Valley Auto have the exact car I was looking for, but Mike went out of his way to make sure that everything, down to the smallest detail was taken care of. I was very concerned with aesthetics as well and he was quick to assure me all we discussed would be followed through.

Customer Name:	Jared Backovich from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2005 Chevrolet 2500 HD Duramax Truck
Review:	What influenced my purchase most? Price, Quality, Vehicle, Attitude & (my sales/finance specialist) Duane Gazzigli's reputation of Honesty & Helpfulness. Why would you buy anywhere else?! There is not one person that has a bad thing to say about your lot. Your vehicles are in great shape and prices are to please. This is our second vehicle we have bought from VAW and it will NOT be the last! Thanks Duane & VAW!

Review:	This is my second vehicle purchase with Valley Auto Wholesale. Why? You offer high quality cars at great prices. Plus you handled everything courteously and professionally. This is not what you expect from the stereotypical used car lot! Would I recommend to friends? Already have, and they have been equally happy and impressed! Thanks - I'll be back when we're ready for another vehicle. A++ ! (My salesperson was John Rosel)


Customer Name:	Maja Sandberg from Redding

Customer Name:	Mike Anderson from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2009 Honda Accord
Review:	After having had a bad experience with Budget Auto, John (Rosel) was a low pressure salesperson. He found me better financing than I already had. Transaction was very simple. My mechanic said the vehicle is in excellent condition. Over all, I am very pleased. Valley Auto Wholesale has been the first dealer I have used in many years! Thank you!


Customer Name:	Julie Bey from Cottonwood
Vehicle Purchased:	2004 Infiniti G35
Review:	I was raised in the car business - a "car dealer brat" so I am quite familiar with retail and wholesale. This is my second purchase from VAW and both experiences were far beyond my expectations. You redefine "used car dealership" with quality, medium to high-end vehicles at affordable prices. And John's (Rosel) dynamic personality, well, he's a deal closer - where buyer and seller both feel they got a fair deal. I have recommended you MANY times.

Everyone at Valley Auto Wholesale was super friendly and made us feel right at home! Duane (Gazzigli) was super knowledgeable about the vehicle and the warranty info and all of the paperwork, DMV, etc. And, just a nice guy to work with! We feel like beeping our horn & waving to you guys every time we drive by! So glad we found you. You make car buying enjoyable! Imagine that?!? (My husband's only complaint was that the gas tank wasn't full on the vehicle when we bought it. That would be a nice touch!)

Customer Name:	Holly & Troy Mcintosh from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2007 Dodge Nitro
Review:	Charlie & Barbara, My husband & I recently purchased a vehicle from your business. As we were not in any hurry to purchase a car, we visited several dealerships over several months to find the car that was right for us. Often we left the dealerships disappointed in the "pushiness" of the sales people. It was not that way with John. He let us think about our decision and let us walk around your lot without hovering or trying to "win" our business. We knew he was around, because he introduced himself, but felt that we could make our decision without him constantly interrupting us. We appreciated that and will recommend your business to our friends looking to buy a car.


Customer Name:	Terri & Dave Lhuillier from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2006 Honda Odyssey
Review:	My husband and I were so impressed with Duane and all of the folks at Valley Auto Wholesale. Duane was very friendly and helpful, and we felt very comfortable buying a car from him. We couldn't be happier with our new-to-us 2006 Honda Odyssey-it is in excellent condition and loaded with all kinds of bells and whistles! We would definitely buy another vehicle from Valley Auto Wholesale, and we're so glad we finally found the car we'd been looking for right here in Redding! Thanks again Duane, we appreciate everything you did for us.

Review:	Not only did Valley Auto Wholesale have the finest quality vehicles but they were the most professional out of all the dealerships I went to, and I went to a lot! I wasn't ready to buy a vehicle but I still wanted to browse for when I was ready. They never pressured me and never pulled any B.S. If I asked a question, I got a honest answer. When I finally bought my vehicle, they gave me a great price, and a great vehicle. I will definately refer my friends and family to Valley Auto Wholesale, and especially to salesman Duane Gazzigli. Thank you VAW!

Friends and co-workers had told me how horrible the car buying experience was, but I was pleasantly suprised with my experience at Valley Auto.

Vehicle Purchased:	1999 Ford F250
Review:	We purchased this truck in 2003 - It had 95,000 miles on it. It is now 2009, and we have 180,000 miles on it and it runs as good as ever. We were so satisfied with this whole experience that when in the market again in 2009 for a quality used car, Valley was the first place we looked. After looking at the market selection in the area, we decided to buy again in July 2009 from Valley. Quality, price, and selection were all key decision criteria. We feel that the car we purchase and the deal we made fulfilled all of these criteria.


Customer Name:	Steve and Loretta Chieppo from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2007 Murano Nissan
Review:	We couldn't have been more pleased with the outstanding professional service we received. This was our first time to purchase a second hand car during our forty year marriage. We were treated with respect and were so surprised we didn't have to hassle over prices. Usually it's a nightmare to purchase a vehicle but this proved to be such a pleasure dealing with the staff at Valley Auto Wholesale. Our salesman explained every detail of the best loan and the extended warrantly and seemed to have our best interest at hand. We absolutely love our Murano we bought at Valley Auto Wholesale. Steve and Loretta Chieppo, Redding, Ca. residence


Customer Name:	Brett and Sarah from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2006 Honda Civic
Review:	We love our new Honda Civic! My wife and I have both experienced the high pressure sales attitude at other dealerships but you won't find this at Valley Auto Wholesale. Our salesman Duane and everyone else at the dealership were very helpful while choosing our new car. The vehicles chosen by Valley Auto are the best quality and I will definitley buy from them again in the future! If you are considering purchasing a vehicle look here first, don't waste your time at other dealers!

Customer Name:	Debi Nunes from Redding
Vehicle Purchased:	2003 BMW 325 CI
Review:	I had an outstanding experience at Valley Auto Wholesale! I am a 52 yr. old first time car buyer. My husband had always purchased our vehicles. He recently passed away. I told salesman Jason Rich that and that I was very nervous. He said that he would take good care of me and he did just that. He was patient and helped me to understand the whole process. Charlie was very generous with the price he gave me on my trade in and now I'm driving my dream car (BMW). I would highly recommend Valley Auto Wholesale to anyone who is apprehensive. The cars are OUTSTANDING and the employees AWESOME!!!


Customer Name:	Jimi from Los Molinos
Vehicle Purchased:	2004 Mazda RX8
Review:	I've had nothing but bad experiences at the larger dealerships. I had a great experience at Valley Auto Wholesale. They're there to sell you a car at the best price possible and don't try to impress you with a fancy lobby and big talk. Duane Gazzigli was friendly and honest and very easy to work with. He got me the best possible deal on the car I really wanted. They also gave me more on my trade-in than any other dealer had offered. If you are shopping for a car I recommend Valley Auto Wholesale!


Customer Name:	Joyce Boontjer from Redding

Customer Name:	Piotr Pramowski from Newport Beach
Vehicle Purchased:	2006 Toyota Sienna
Review:	I found my 2006 Toyota Sienna on cars.com and contacted your sales staff. After getting some additional information I decided to purchase the car without seeing it or even test driving it since I live 588 miles from the car lot. I made the decision to purchase the car on Friday, received the paperwork on Saturday and by Tuesday all the paperwork was done and the car was loaded on an auto transport for the 588 mile journey to Newport Beach, CA. The car was just as described. The service was incredible. Buying a car without looking at it or driving it can be a leap of faith, but not so with Valley Auto Wholesale. I will be recommending you to my friends and family and keeping an eye on your website to see when I am in the market again. Thanks for the great shopping experience and the great car. Peter

If you've had a BAD experience with a dealership this is without a doubt the place for you-because they will make you change your mind about buying a car! There's no pushy salesman, no being nice UNTIL anything. I personally won't go anywhere else for a car EVER again.

I calulated my wish price for my trade-in and for the Lexus and that is what they sold it to me for.

It fit all of my criteria, furthermore I was impressed by the quality pictures on the website. My Salesman secured financing for me at what seemed like warp speed. All this was done from the comfort of home. I went in to the dealership, test-drove the truck, traded in my old Blazer and was out on the road in less than an hour! My salesman was great, being both professional and very personable! Great service, go get a truck from Valley Auto Wholesale!

Review:	I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the entire staff at Valley Auto Wholesale for making my buying experience a real pleasure. Being in sales myself, a Realtor by Profession, I can only relate to and appreciate the utmost professionalism and customer service I was personally shown. Not only did I receive a fair price for my trade-in, I purchased a nearly new spotless BMW 530I well under Kelly Blue Book price. In addition, there was no high pressure or frustrating sales tactics used to get me to buy. I would highly recommend Valley Auto Wholesale to anyone wanting a great deal on a nearly new vehicle. Check out their inventory, all late Model and super clean vehicles. Once again, thanks, for a terrific buying experience.

Review:	We have purchased two Vehicles from Valley Auto Wholesale within the past 5 years. Valley Auto found my Vehicle and had it to me in 2 days. Both times were the easiest buying experiences I have "ever" experienced. I was not there for hours, and no sales pressure. I was able to look at my leisure. No other Dealership in town could match the Price. Not to mention the "CUSTOMER SERVICE". Which is the most important these days. "THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH Valley Auto" I will tell "everyone" about Valley Auto.

Review:	The day after Thanksgiving I asked my wife if she wanted to go look at a Toyota Tacoma I had seen at Valley Auto Wholesale. We bought it that same day. Usually I hesitate a few days before commiting to purchasing a used vehicle. This time I didn't. I was offered a fair price for my trade in and paid a fair price for my "new truck". No high pressure tactics involved. I feel good about my buying experience. I would encourage anyone who is looking to buy a vehicle to shop here first.

Review:	My husband and I purchased a 2001 Audi A6 last year and we were so pleased with it that we came back to our salesman at Valley Auto Wholesale to see what he could do for us. Not only did he give us a fantastic price on our new 2003 Lexus RX300 (and trade-in car also), but he found an auto loan with an unbeleivable interest rate! Thank you Valley Auto Wholesale!

Review:	Thanks to this website we found the truck of our dreams. After looking at the awesome Nissan Titan online we came down and Our Salesman took care of us. Drove it, liked it, Charlie gave us top dollar for our trade and even agreed to take off the striping on the truck that wasn't really our style. Thanks guys we love our truck.

Review:	I just bought a Toyota Prius Hybrid, from Valley Auto Wholesale and they are awesome. JASON was "The Man" who sold us our vehicle. He was awesome. We told him what we wanted for price and payments and he got it for us. They even gave me a great deal on my trade in. All their vehicles are nice and clean making it a comfortable environment to buy a car in. Thanks Jason, and thanks Valley Auto Wholesale.
