I’d recommend this dealership
Overall we had a great experience at this dealership. Good communication and customer service from Sevan. We believe we found a great car for the price!
Fun and economical car, great value
The car is a great balance between performance, economy, comfort, and versatility. It manages to do all of those things well, if not great. It won't win any races but it's fun to drive.

Nice folks and fair prices.
Nice folks and fair prices. Helped me find the right car for my nephew a nice f150 truck very transparent no bull
Solid, high quality, and fun to drive
My third VW Golf - this one has been the best - love it for it's versatility, low cost of ownership, reliability (only things I've had to replace is tires and battery in 112,000 miles) and joy of driving - not the fastest off the line but cornering, braking and high-speed driving / passing - wow!

Great vibe.
Great vibe. I went to look at a 2009 VW JETTA and I wound up purchasing a 2010 VW Golf for my recently licensed daughter. I worked with Brian, Dan’s son. Very knowledgeable and forthright about the used cars on his lot. Friendly folks. I haven’t purchased many used cars from small dealerships in my life, and I got a very good feeling about this place. It’s not fancy, but the place felt honest. I’ll go back for servicing for sure.

This is my 2nd great experience at Roseville Auto Sales.
This is my 2nd great experience at Roseville Auto Sales. My first great experience was about 3 years ago. Todd also helped me last time, and I'd been in communication with Matt via email. However, I had just purchased a nice 2000 Ford Focus from there that had been on their lot for awhile, but I did the research beforehand so knew the history of the car etc, so knew what I was getting into. They're always laid back there, and you ask for keys for whatever car(s) you want to test drive, and you can take your time inspecting under hood, starting them, then test driving them. Once you make up your mind on a purchase, all the paperwork takes less than 30 minutes and you're out the door. Thank you Todd and Matt for a very pleasant experience, I'll be back again in a couple years. They did mention they've been open 29 years roughly and have sold over 29,000 cars, which I believe, they stay pretty busy and overall have a very good selection of cars, a lot have high miles but some have moderate miles and are very reasonable. Take care.

I had a great experience working with Edgar at
I had a great experience working with Edgar at Volkswagen. He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me find the right car rather than pushing a sale. He walked me through every step of the process, answered all my questions clearly, and made everything feel easy and stress-free. If you’re shopping for a VW, ask for Edgar — he makes the whole experience smooth, transparent, and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
