  • The Best in the South Central Valley for Chevy & GMC

    5 out of 5 starsby Mom24Chicks on 04/11/2018

    This is our second time going to Merle Stone in Porterville. In January 2017 we bought a Chevy Equinox after comparing the price, quality, & mileage of available cars in Bakersfield and the surrounding areas. Merle Stone beat everyone in all 3 area easily. And they’re so much easier to work with than our local dealerships. The driver of the Equinox was in an accident and the car was declared totaled. It wasn’t even a question of where we were going again. This time we bought a GMC Terrain (same car basically), again with low miles and the best price in the area. Javier and Billy took great care of us, staying beyond closing time. They have won our loyalty.
    • Thank you for writing this fantastic review and giving our dealership such an excellent star rating! It's great to hear we were able to go above and beyond your expectations and provide you with a memorable experience. Feel free to call or stop by if there's anything else we can do for you. Best, The Merle Stone Chevrolet Team

    Our sales man Eric Clark was professional, knowledge and made us feel confident in the choice we made. I purchased from you guys because I at no point felt pressured into something I didn't want. I walked away from the Toyota the same day due to that reason. The finance process was easy and rather prompt. I am 100 % satisfied with my purchase. Thank you Merle Stone !!

  • Get the car you want - every time!

    5 out of 5 starsby Mal_one on 04/02/2015

    I found the exact car I wanted, color and options, online at another dealership. I contacted Merle Stone Chevrolet and asked them if they could match that deal. They told me if that was the car I wanted, they could get me that car at that price. They drove 200 miles and two days later, I had my car. Nothing makes me feel better than getting exactly what I want at the price I wanted it. Thanks Merle Stone !

    I couldn't be more happy with the purchase of my new vehicle. I went into this buying process with a very poor attitude because I was sure I wouldn't be able to afford something that I was looking for. However within minutes of talking to Courtney she made me feel reassured that we could figure something out. All thanks to her I ended up getting the EXACT vehicle that I wanted at a price that was just perfect. If I'm ever in the market for a car good there's no way I would go anywhere else!

    Josh Smith was great to work with, appraisal took 2 trips to the dealership and upon second time (with appointment) I had to wait 2.5 hours for a "safety and smog" check on a vehicle that had been smogged 6 month prior.

    The environment was pleasant Ken was really helpful and straight forward. My only recommendation apply some blinds to the windows for a better and more comfortable environment.

    We worked with Salesman Josh at the dealership and from the get go he was very helpful, knowledgeable, and made this car buying experience fast and easy. Outstanding Customer Service and my friends and family will now go see Josh at Merle Stone when it's time for there new car. Thanks again Josh!
  • OUTSTANDING!

    5 out of 5 starsby jebutler80 on 10/23/2014

    Ken worked hard to put us in the vehicle that best suited our needs and explained to my wife (who will be the primary driver) how to use all the benefits of the new vehicle. Billy explained all of the finance details in a clear and logical manner and ensured that we were satisfied with our financing. These two gentlemen performed their duties in a manner that can only increase the reputation of Merle Stone and the Chevrolet brand. I have already recommended them to friends and family.
  • Great Experience!!!
