E-mail Testimonials

Kevin,
Thanks so much for the help this afternoon.
Thankfully, with your help the problem was easily solved.
Please pass my gratitude on to Steve also.  Tell him my next purchase will be a "talking" circuit tester.

There is a reason your shop has such a good reputation.  Word, good and bad, travels fast in the RV community.
Your willingness to go the extra mile wins you more loyal customers.

Feel free to share my comments with the boss, or send me his email address and I will tell him myself.

I have used DeMartini service department several times for repairs to my 2004 Windsor motorhome. Their technical expertise, attention to detail and commitment to customer service and satisfaction is unsurpassed.

Recently I purchased a new toad and took it to a shop close to my home to install the M&G breaking system and wire the tail lights.  After returning to the shop twice for adjustment and repair, they were still not able to get the system to work correctly. Since DeMartini set up my last toad, I decided to take it to them to see what they could do even though it was quite a bit further from home.  Their technician, Steve Baldwin, immediately identified the issues with the breaking system and tail light wiring and was able to quickly make the necessary repairs and adjustments. Best of all, their Service Manager, Kevin Parker, worked with me to provide documentation which helped me get a refund from the other shop.

Another issue DeMartini service department has been able to successfully resolve was a very illusive problem with my tank monitoring system.  After working on the system the first time and solving most of the problem, there were still some lingering issues with inaccurate readings. After discussing this with Kevin Parker, he was eager to resolve the problem to my complete satisfaction, insisting he would not be happy until I was happy. While I waited, service technician Chris Wackerly replaced a sensor and adjusted the calibration to make the system work as designed.

Another noteworthy person in their service department is Jason Paul.  In previous visits, he has gone out of his way to successfully resolved difficult issues with several components on my motorhome.

Even though DeMartini is a three hour trip, it is well worth the extra time.  I know when I have them do the work, it will be done correctly and they will not rest until I am completely satisfied.  I wish I could get this level of service everywhere I go.

Dear Jay,

John and I cannot thank you enough for the time, energy and effort you put into assisting in helping us decide what to buy for our first new RV!  It is never pleasant, for me, to do this type of shopping.  You made the experience a good one. 

Sadly, I have not had "good" experiences in the past when it comes to dealing with sales personnel.  But you changed my experience completely. 

I wish every person walking into the DeMartini Dealership could have the exact experience we had with you.  But I know you can only work so many hours!

You went above and beyond by continuing to answer questions that I really should have directed elsewhere.  Again, you are so great to work with, we kept coming back to you even after the sale!

Thanks again Jay.

Sincerely,

John and Mary

Good Evening,

I just wanted to say, I wish I knew about DeMartini before I purchased my Monaco at Paul Everets in Fresno.  I have heard from just about everyone I run into on the road that DeMartini follows up and takes care of you after the sale. 

I have had my RV for 13 months, of which it has been in the dealership over half that time.  I was treated very well during the purchase, but after that it went down hill.  I have talked to so many about the service after the sale, and the great attitudes everyone has there.  That is certainly not the case with Paul Everets.

I am sure you are well aware of how many people praise your business everyday, but I thought I would take a few minutes to pass it on anyway.

Nice to know there are still RV dealers who are honest and caring about their customers from day one.

I want to convey my sincere appreciation to a member of your staff (Mr. Carl Riemann) for providing my wife and I with outstanding customer support recently.

 I called Carl to see if I could get warranty assistance with a radio that burned out in my 2010 Quest. Carl gave me specific instructions to ship him the defective radio. In less than two weeks Carl had coordinated with fleetwood and had the new radio rushed back to us. I did not expect such fast and reliable service.

In addition to this I had sent a note to Carl to see if I could recover the cost of having a local radio shop remove and replace the radio plus the shipping and insurance costs. I did not expect reimbursement on this. Carl told me he would talk to fleetwood and see if he could get reimbursement. Today I received a check from DeMartini covering the total expenses!  

I can assure you that I will pass the word around and let others know of this great after sales customer support I received from Demartini. You can also give my name and phone number to your potential customers for a good reference from us. There are few dealerships that take care of customers after the sales are made.

We are extremely satisfied with the 2010 Quest we purchased in October last year and it has been trouble free after 6,500 miles. The buying experience with Jon Demartini was excellent, courteous and without pressure from our first contact by e-mail until the transaction was completed. All the numbers we discussed were explained clearly and there was no confusion. Jon let us stay at the dealership overnight to try all the systems in the rv to make sure everything worked properly. He provided two technicians to do all the minor adjustments the next day until we were ready to travel. The RV was delivered out of state without a hitch. Everyone treated us with courtesy and promptness. We were given a full tank of fuel to start on our way back to Idaho. All the documentation was in order when we stopped at the Idaho port of entry and later registered it with no problems when we arrived home.

This professionalism and care that Carl has provided for us is the icing on the cake and a perfect example of a great dealership that cares about the customer. Please thank him for us. We will consider you first when the time comes to purchase a new RV.

Thank You.

Hello Jon

I wanted to thank you for having the new Fleetwood Encounter motor home ready for us and how smooth the transaction went last week.  We were really impressed with the dealership and especially that the motor home was out front all set to go.

I had a few minor warranty problems on the way back – radio cut out, air conditioner hose drip etc – but it ran like a charm across country.  I have set up with Sicards RV in Ontario Canada to do the repairs for next week

Please pass along to Richard (as I called him on the way back) that the items are being fixed and thanks for his help.

Take Care

Dear Tim &Jon

We wish to express our gratitude for inviting us who came from a far foreign country as it is warm. It was able to enjoy travel once in the United States by the favor externals. The repair came in the favor of appropriate assistance of Jon when breaking down and [de] came smoothly. Thank you for buying RV at the homecoming by a good price moreover. We bought RV with DeMartini RV Sales and were lucky. 

The second son also leaves the hospital, it recuperates at home, and it settles down. I think it is already safe.

We think about the construction of RV PARK on Grass Valley. Sorry to trouble you, but please teach how much the price does though I want near land where Idaho Maryland Rd and Brunswick Rd intersect by three acres.

It looks forward to the day when it can encounter it again.

Thanks Sincerely

Dear Mr. DeMartini,

It is with pleasure that I take this opportunity to commend you and your company.

DeMartini  RV is truly a Class Act. This is true for  both Sales and Service. Your new facility is exceptional.

Nate Davey, RV Sales,  was patient and helpful. He led us to the right coach for our needs and had  good answers to our questions during the process.

You deserve to be proud of your Service and Parts  department. We received excellent service  and found  Kevin Parker, Larry Fontez, Steve Baldwin,  Rich Derrad, and Lonnie Green  to be very knowledgeable and experienced.

Not surprising for  a new Coach,  we did have an electrical glitch including a slide out malfunction.  This problem was quickly identified and a new part promptly  ordered and  installed.

Thanks for the excellent Service.

Tim - I just wanted to reiterate what I said to you the other day.  Dealing with DeMartini's when we recently purchased a used motorhome was nothing but a pleasure.    We were in the market for a used motorhome and we had a long, long list of items on our wishlist.  However, we were quite budget challenged!

It all started when my husband and I decided it was time for me to retire and for us to hit the road, something we have both dreamed of for some time.  I am an avid internet researcher, and for weeks I combed through countless rv ads, from Ebay to Florida.  We had looked a few for sale and came across an ad for one of your used motorhomes.  It was a Sunday, and I didn't realize that your Grass Valley location was closed.  However, I happened to get you on your cell phone, and you directed me to your Sacramento site.  There, we met Bob, who took the time to walk us through several of the motorhomes there as well as educating us on Rvs in general.  I learned more from Bob in an hour than I did from all of my weeks of internet research! We didn't find what we wanted that day, but at Bob's suggestion we went to your Grass Valley location to check out the used ones there.  This time, we met Jay, and he walked us through several of the motorhomes.  We were impressed with Jay's easy going attitude and the wealth of information we were able to gather.  Again, we didn't find what we wanted in our price range, but talking to Jay helped us narrow down what we wanted.  We knew we would just have to wait for one to come along that we could afford.  Jay had given us his cell phone number, and we called him a few times for advice.

A few weeks later, you told me you had just taken in a motorhome in trade that would be perfect for Jesse and I.  We raced up there and saw it before it ever hit the lot.  You offered it to us at such a good price (one thing I did learn on the internet was how much these types of motorhomes were selling for),  we didn't even try to negotiate.  Your office got us great financing, and, when we came to pick our motorhome up, all the people involved in our walkthrough were fantastic.

Thanks again for everything - you have the best customer service we've come across in a long time.  It's easy to understand why your dealership is a top seller even in this economy!

Tim,

I wanted to communicate to you the great job done by your service department on my last visit.  Starting at the top, Kevin did a great job as usual, but I wanted to call out the exceptional job done by the techs, Jason and Steve, who worked on my 2009 Camelot QDP.  Sometimes I can be a pain in the neck with all my questions etc, but Jason and Steve took the time to answer and explain to my satisfaction exactly what was wrong and what they were doing to correct the problem.  Your reputation for sales is legendary and now I can say you have a service department that is very complementary to your dealership.

As I mentioned in our conversation, you have a large number of loyal and satisfied customers based upon their sales experience with your organization and you should capitalize on that loyalty with an aggressive promotion of the service department and the after-market services/equipment that you can offer—M&G brake systems, Bilstein or Koni replacement shocks, tire pressure monitoring systems etc.  Remember your customers mostly fall into the category of “boy and their toys” and they are willing to spend on them.

I will continue to be a traveling advertisement for Nate Davey (our salesperson), your service department and your entire organization, because you are fair, honest and know how to treat customers.

Sincerely,

David E. Boisselle

Tim,

   We want to thank you again for the great experience we had buying our new Endeavor. All of the people we dealt with went way beyond our expectations. Jay was always right there to answer any questions we had. Jon was very good at explaining all the paper work we had to fill out and Lloyd was great showing and telling us about the area on our way to Reno.  The whole atmosphere at DeMartini RV was just like one big family.  Thanks for taking the time to help me get my laptop set up so I could use it  and for letting us stay there with our motorhome.  We had a nice trip home and hope to enjoy the Endeavor for many years to come.

     It looks like Pat has said it all.  The pull down shades came yesterday so will have them put on next Wed..  Thank you very much.  It's going in to the neighbors garage in 2 weeks so I can start polishing on this one.  I talked to Mr. King who bought our coach. He is very pleased with it.  Thank you again.

My wife and I recently took delivery of our new 2009 40 foot QDP Camelot from DeMartini RV in Grass Valley.  We ordered it from Jon in June and traded in our 2002 Endeavor.  This is the second new coach we have purchased from DeMartini and the experience was just as wonderful this time as it was five years ago.  After the coach arrived we had DeMartini install some additional items for us. Everyone was wonderful and most helpful.  Kevin and his crew in the service department did an outstanding job.  As with any motorhome there a few minor problems which manifested them selves after delivery, but we are headed to the factory to have them fixed.

We have been very satisfied with Monaco and their attention to us after purchase in the past and I know we will find the same to be true in the future.

We want to thank Jon, Tim, and their staff. We could not be more pleased with the way they treated us.  They gave us a more than fair trade in price and a no hassle fair price on our new unit.  If I could buy a new car in such a hassle free manner and be treated the same way I would be driving new cars more frequently.

I honestly believe anyone considering the purchase of a Monaco product should not do so without talking to Demartini.  We recommend them highly and without hesitation.

 We couldn’t be more pleased with the outstanding service provided by Kevin and his team. Kevin took the time, when we picked up the coach, to go over all of the repairs. Since the front slide had had four failures in the eight months we owned the coach, we were quite concerned about it’s operation. Kevin had us operate the slide, explained that they had cleaned and lubricated the mechanisms, and assured us the slide was now working properly. He went on to explain the problem they had found and fixed with the front air conditioner, and then said that they had noticed the coach leaning after it was parked for a period of time. He said that they had found and repaired an air leak that was causing this. This particular problem I hadn’t even mentioned when the coach was brought in because I had had this looked at both at Monaco, Harrisburg and our local service center and neither could find a problem. I assumed this was one we would need to live with, and having it resolved was a pleasant surprise.

Our hats off to Kevin and his team for some outstanding service, they deserve a big pat on the back and Thank You for their efforts.

We sincerely hope that you and your team can weather the current economic challenges and can continue as the outstanding dealer we feel you are.

Sincerely,

Pat/John Curcija

We were lucky to get our shades replaced so quickly by JD and his team when we went back for some warranty work. They went over to the factory themselves and selected and brought the shades back to put them in. Wonderful!

Hope you saw our praises of all of them on the RV blog. Your people in Wakarusa are fabulous and treated us like family. Believe me when I say that if we are anywhere nearby, that's where we would head for warranty work and service. For something really major we would even take the trip from here to Indiana. There was no comparison to our experience in Tampa with our first coach. There, once we signed on the dotted line, the attention to customers was gone. Not at your place.

Please let them know how much we noticed the difference between them and other dealers and service facilities.They really treated us like family and we won't forget it.

Have a good summer.

Last week my wife and I took delivery of a 2009 Camelot 40QDP at your Grass Valley dealership.  We could go on and on about the quality of our new coach but I would rather talk about the quality of the people involved in the process.

First there is Jay Griffin.  We first met Jay at an RV show about a year ago.  Jay spent a great deal of time talking to us about the product and rv'ing in general as we are newbies to the lifestyle.  We then e-mailed Jay prior to the big show in Pleasanton earlier this year.  Jay made arrangements for us to get complementary tickets for the show.  Again he spent a great deal of time with us going over details of the Camelot line as well as available financing, etc. 

Last month we made the decision to purchase our dream coach.  After numerous phone calls and e-mails back and forth, we had an appointment to meet with Jay at the dealership.  Jay even arranged for a complimentary hotel room for us since we live quite a distance from Grass Valley.  We arrived at the dealership and spent the rest of the day going over the features of various models and taking a test drive.  Once we made the decision to purchase it, Jay got the ball rolling with credit applications, insurance information, etc., etc. 

Jay then introduced us to Steve Baldwin in the parts department.  Steve discussed various satellite systems with us as well as the pros and cons of various towing systems for our tow-behind.   Once the decisions were made, Steve was instrumental in making sure that the extra equipment we ordered was installed before we picked our coach up the following week.

Then there is Mike.  When we picked up our coach the following week, Mike spent plenty of time discussing the satellite system that he installed for us. 

Throughout our contact with each of these guys, they all gave us their cell phone numbers and urged us to call them if we had any questions or concerns with any of our equipment.  These guys are the epitome of professionalism and you are very fortunate to have them on your staff.  Judging by the quality of the people we have dealt with, its no wonder your company is so successful.

Thank you,

De Martini RV is well known in the industry as having a great reputation, and I'm impressed with website pictures of your new facility in Grass Valley. Concerning High End Luxury Class A you are without a doubt the biggest dealer in Northern Calif. There are few in number so it seems you have the market cornered.

Southern California too far for after sale support, so in Northern California dealers are limited: Alpine RV in Morgan Hill advertises only Medium Class A. Pan Pacific RV no longer carries High End Travel Supreme, so there stock is limited to Medium Class A. Not interested in Dan Gamel. Others that come to mind are too new to be established.

But your location is 3+ hours drive from South Bay Area. This makes after sales support difficult. Personally I don't understand why you don't have a facility central to the bay area???

I'm not in the market for a RV now but hope to be able someday. So I regularly follow your website, dream, and try to keep up with what's new concerning Luxury Class A.

I wish you the best in your new facility, and keep up the good work I hear so often.

Thanks,

Last week we were on the road when we overloaded the circuit that runs the TV and the kitchen plugs. After checking all the breakers and fusses and found everything OK I called an electrician. They couldn’t find anything and the called Holiday Rambler for help. HR told them it sounded like the main circuit board was burned out.

A few days later I called your Service Department to schedule an appointment and Lonnie answered the phone. He asked about our inverter and asked if I would go out and check the switches and one was tripped. I switched it back and everything worked again. I sure wish I would have called and talked to Lonnie first as it was a long week without TV in the evening and no power in the kitchen and bath.

THANKS Lonnie, you know your stuff!

Mr. Tim DeMartini,

First off, we would like to say thank you, for bringing to the public an RV Dealership that really does show integrity, and professionalism.

We had almost given up. We have traveled to other dealerships; Grass Valley, Sacramento, San Jose, Gilroy, Modesto, Turlock, and many more over the two past years. We have purchased a 5th Wheel, Class A Motor Homes, over the years. We have dealt mainly with the well known names in the field.  Most of the time the sales force were courteous, but, not always well informed on the unit of interest to us. Then the visit with the finance director, again some were knowledgeable, but, not always people savvy.

After you made your purchase, the sales man left, and you were on your own.  Then the dread of going to the Maintenance Shop for check-ups or repairs.  If you were on warranty, then your work was the last done, as the dealer would do cash jobs first, as he would not have to wait for his money. One time we waited over 2 months for our unit to be returned. So, as the story goes they had ya.....

Here is our story about DeMartini; We found you folks on the web. We made a trip to Sacramento, and were met a fellow by the name of Les. No pressure, we were asked what we were looking for and then shown what was available in our price range. Les, even left us alone for a time and then came back and ask if we had any questions? Didn't really find anything at that time, but Les suggested that we go on up to Grass Valley and talk with a fellow by the name of John. So we did.

Again we were shown what was available, and John was very well informed of what was in the inventory in Grass Valley, and what was coming into inventory in Sacramento.  John advised us of a unit he felt would meet our needs, and was within our price range, back in Sacramento. So, he called Les, and had the unit picked that very day, and we went back to Sacramento and found the unit that we were looking for. Thank you John and Les.

Another outstanding thing that was observed, in each used vehicle that we went into was, so clean, even the upholstery, window trimmings, etc. No other dealer has the cleaning staff that De Martini does. They really do shine.

Les, our salesman, was very friendly, courteous, and assured us that he would be involved with us even after the sale.  If we had any challenges, or questions, feel free to call him.  Another WOW!  Rodney, the Finance Manger was also, courteous, and explained things well, and was always upfront about the purchase of the unit.

We sincerely, thank all of the team that was involved in the search and purchase of out new Diesel Pusher.  You can be assured that we will tell all of our friends, and anyone we can about you folks.

Teamwork in action is what your motto should be. Thank you taking pride in your work.

Sincerely,

Kenneth & Mary Bennett,

Dear Tim,

Walt and I just want to let you know what a wonderful, rewarding experience we had at your Indiana dealership.  We have had many frustrating, irritating experiences on the East coast with dealerships in Georgia and Florida.  Most of them don’t seem to understand many of the newer Monaco systems and they are not 100% truthful in what they tell you.  We have had problems with the refrigerator  3 months after we took delivery.  And the DVD/Radio system has been replaced three times and is finally working after about a year.  But the main reason for this letter is to let you know that JD at the Indiana Dealership is excellent, efficient, kind, courteous and does what he says he will do.  He and Scott treated us very well and met all of our RV needs and then some.  We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.  We finally got the vinyl repaired, which was damaged, at your facility before we took delivery.  All across Georgia and Florida we were never able to find a vinyl repairman.  So now, at last, our RV looks brand new again. 

Please let JD and Scott know that they were appreciated and they did an excellent job of representing you.

We are on our way back to California and have had a great year touring the Eastern part of the US.  We love our lifestyle and are happier now with our choice of purchasing a Holiday Rambler. 

Yours truly,

Bonnie and Walt Merriam

I want to commend you for putting together an organization that is a pleasure to work with. I purchased my fourth RV from you in April. Nate was my sales person. He was a professional in every sense of the word.

After I had the RV for several months I had accumulated several items that needed repair. I live in the Bay Area and found it very difficult to get reliable warranty work done After two months of frustration with Monaco and a local service center I made an appointment with your service center.

The minute I started working with Kevin I realized that I had finally found a service center that really cared about their customers. Not only did he
take care of the problems that the other service center failed to do, but he fixed everything on the RV including items that Monaco said they would not cover. Everyone in your service center has been great.

Thank You for creating such an environment.

DeMartini's.... Thank You!

I purchased a 2008 Dynasty this week from Tim DeMartini and did the paperwork with Jon. It was a pleasure to do business with these two sincere and likable people. I traveled from Montana to trade in my old coach and pick up the Dynasty. I made the deal on the phone with Tim and when I got there the papers were ready and the whole buying process took less than an hour. In addition, Tim had my new coach waxed and a trailer brake controller installed at no cost to me. Tim earned his place in my "Do business with again" file. I will definitely refer anyone interested in an RV to Tim & Jon.
I have owned 3 diesel pushers and the buying experience at DeMartini's was the best by far.

And on a side note, their internet site is the best one around for viewing inventory. I did hours of research on the web and each time I would look at other other dealers web sites I became frustrated they did not provide the vast photos, window sticker and comments that the DeMartini's web site offers. Thank you DeMartini brothers!

DeMartini RV
 

Mr. Demartini:

Last September, my wife, Nancy, and I had the pleasure of purchasing a 2007 Endeavor from Mr. Rod Martin.  This was our first motorhome and your staff took the extra steps to ensure we had the prerequisite knowledge and driving skills to make it safely home to Illinois.  Both Rod and Mr. Tim Rhodes took time out of their busy schedules to ride with us to make sure we understood the meaning of wide right turns.  The three days we spent at the dealership experiencing the delivery process and their tremendous customer service is enough to warrant this letter, but our subsequent visit to the dealership for service mandates that I write about our experience.

Approximately 9 days after arriving back home with our Endeavor, we launched out to Florida for a family reunion and general tour of the southeast.  After 6 weeks on the road covering 3000+ miles, we limped into Wakarusa with a full page of issues from our shakedown cruise including no headlights and a funky electrical system (i.e. coach is signaling a right turn and toad is signaling a left turn).  I had given Tim Rhodes a call a few days prior to arriving but failed to mention the magnitude or number of problems we had.  My wife and I were discussing various plans of action based on the fact that we needed to be back home very soon and the obvious time that would be needed to solve all the coach problems.  We arrived Thurs afternoon and the crew of Tim Rhodes, Brian Bovont and Scott Davidson started Fri morning working on the problems.  Our expectations at best were that the headlights would be fixed and we would either return later for the other issues or leave the coach and pick it up when we could (we have a very busy winter planned at home). 

To our surprise and delight, Tim, Brian and Scott addressed and fixed every problem on our punch list, requiring them to work on the coach Sat morning so we could be home by Sat evening.

To say our expectations of your dealership on the purchase and service of the Endeavor was met is a serious understatement.   I had read many laudatory comments about your dealership online and that was one of the reasons I purchased the Endeavor from your dealership.  We are pleased with our decision to do so and will share that with our friends.  Our thanks to all of your folks in Wakarusa and our wishes for a happy and prosperous holiday season. 

Regards,

 

Lloyd & Nancy Prevett

Jon,

I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for making our buying experience so pleasant.   We felt at ease during the entire time!  Ron Worley was also a perfect person to drive us to Reno.  His knowledge of the motorhome and experience driving many different MH's helped me understand what the coach was really capable of.  We even got to test the brakes once!

Deb is also very happy and wanted me to mention again that the testimonials on RV.net are really well deserved and that they highly influenced our decision to shop and purchase from your website.  By the way you do have one of the best websites: pictures, pictures, pictures, that's what catches peoples attention-keep it up!

We made it home fine. The motorhome ran and drove great - hills no problem, winding roads no problem.   It only took me about a 100 miles to get used to driving one again -  which was lucky as I had to do a quick maneuver to get out of the way of a wild semi tractor trailer rig that wanted the whole of the three lane express way.  This motorhome is our new standard - its stability and maneuverability is awesome!

Again, THANK YOU IMMENSELY

Ron & Debbie DeShais

I recently bought an RV from DeMartini RV sales and was very satisfied with my purchase.  I am even more satisfied now, then when I left the sales lot.

Previously, I had been overseas for 7 years.  Returning to the States, I was cautious about sales people, especially car lots when I was referred to DeMartini.  After all, it's a jungle out there.  Jay and Nate seemed to have sensed my apprehension and recommended that I do some Internet research on their company's reputation before making any decision towards a purchase.  But then Jay said two things that immediately put me at ease.  He said, 1)  We don't work on commission here.  All of our sales staff are on salary so we have nothing to gain on each sale, and 2)  We have to run an honest business because we have to live in this town.

Shortly after that, I bought a Jeep Wrangler from a dealer in Fairfield and felt like I was barraged by every high-pressure sales tactic in the book.  The Fairfield dealer made me really appreciate the folks at DeMartini.  It's great to see a business working on a good reputation instead of working on a commission.

Many Thanks,

John

Ron, we asked for prices on several of your coaches--the Sunrise was one of them. 

Remember us--we bought the 34 ft. HR Admiral Tuesday, 5/30.  We just wanted to say what a pleasant surprise it was dealing with you guys.  Everything was so easy--we got what we thought was a good price, but most important of all, not having to haggle or play games.  You and Loren took care of everything.  We both agree, it was worth driving to Indiana on those horrible roads.  Everyone we came in contact with at your dealership was outgoing and friendly.  Such a huge difference from some we met at the three dealerships we tried to buy from here in Atlanta metro area.  Even your service guys were friendly and outgoing. 

We've already talked to three friends who came over to look at our new coach about checking out your web site. 

We took our time driving back to Georgia--got in around 6 p.m. yesterday.  Husband almost "wiped out" the driver's side on our fence getting it in yard.  Luckily, he was able to move away without putting scratch on it.  Most important of all, it fits in yard and we can close and lock fence.  Husband worried all the way home that it wouldn't fit. 

We appreciate all your help in making the process so easy.  Other dealerships should take lessons from you guys.

Tim,

Let me start by saying that you have the most polite salesman that I have ever dealt with. We started looking for a newer motorhome last spring and that is when we meet Les. Over a period of a few months les kept looking and so did we. In November we found what we wanted a 97 southwind with slide and 35 feet Les made it happen for us. We are still waiting for a couple of parts to come in so we can finish up but I feel your organization is doing an outstanding job and we will wait for the manufacture to ship the parts. When they come in I feel Carol will treat us as well as Les and Rodney already have. It is a real pleasure to do business with an organization like yours.

 Ps We sent a friend to you and they are as happy as we are.

Demartini's,

We purchased a coach from Demartini's in Sacramento a couple of months ago.  We visited many other dealers and we were frustrated, until we met Bob.  We would like to share our experience with your company. 

Our salesman was Bob.  His personality is dynamic.  He was an absolute pleasure to do business with.  We never felt any pressure from him to buy.  He knows a lot about the coaches that he's selling.  We've called him several times for advice and opinions concerning our coach.  He always first has something nice to say and then answers my questions.  We think Bob is great.

We also had the pleasure to work with Rodney.  Our paper work went very smoothly with him.  He gave us a great deal.  He has also taken several calls from us and has helped us out every time.     

Their honesty and their willing to help us out is very much appreciated.  They even stayed late for us one evening.

We had the best experience with your company.  These two men down at your Sacramento Office are wonderful.  We will definitely tell our friends and family that the place to go is Demartini's.

Our 2006 Monaco Diplomat is a blast.  We love it!!

Thank you ---Greg and Laura Tubbs

On 30 June, 2004 our 2001 Endeavor, 40 foot pusher was burnt to the ground (along with 12 others) while in storage here in Southern California. Luckily we had the best insurance available, GMAC. We were told that we had full replacement coverage and GMAC asked us to shop around for a new 05 with the colors and floor plan we liked.

Eva and I put the miles on in the car and went to five Endeavor and Diplomat dealers (are we stuck on Monaco?) from San Diego to Riverside. The sales people were reluctant and hesitant that we would really get full replacement (insurance deal) and all wanted $ now, to hold it...you know the story. Our Ins. company told us to not make any deals or put and money down, just inform them on the unit we like and the dealership location. We were able to view many coaches and narrowed the search down to our #1 and #2.

Three weeks later, Tim DeMartini called us at home. The buyers for GMAC are impressed with previous transactions with DeMartini. Tim asked of our desires and informed us that he had an 05 Limited Edition, in silver and black with Windsor interior and sent website photos. We were in the car two days later, a 950 mile round trip drive to Grass Valley and we were welcomed by Tim. Coach was beautiful, late at night now, spent the night, and the next day, we decided this was the one.   

Tim recorded all of the components that were on our 01 that were not on the 05 (not many, sat. dome, solar, and tow bar set up) and he said that he will work with the Insurance company. We headed home that day. A week later,  our Insurance company called and said that the coach is ours. We drove back up to Grass Valley, everything was in place and I must say; with superior workmanship on the installations. It was ours, we were hooked-up and on the road in three hours, only 32 days elapsed since the fire... 

We are not rookies, this is our 7th motor home and we had the most pleasant experience, ever, with DeMartini. Jon made the paperwork-thing smooth, Timothy was great on the walk through and a special thanks to Tim for the matching leather recliner, ottoman and computer desk/corian top. You went above and beyond.

Sincerely,

Gary and Eva Davidson

Hi, I just took delivery June 29, 2005 of a 2005 Holiday Rambler Admiral SE 33 PBD.  I never in my wildest dreams thought I could afford this wonderful coach. This is my 4th RV and I am the only driver due to the fact my husband is legally blind. From the moment I went into the DeMartini dealership in Sacramento, I felt they were a caring, no pressure dealership and quite a change for the other ones I had visited recently. There was no pressure when I left saying I loved the coach but felt it was to much money for me and to much coach for me. Well, after a night of pure torment in my own mind and a long long discussion with my husband,  I called them the next day and got an unbelievable price, a great trade in on mine and a very low interest rate and DeMartini's made it  affordable for me. I went in on Monday and signed the papers saying I wanted her on Wednesday so I could go to a pre-planned beach trip over the 4th and she was ready for me when I got there Wednesday. I worked mainly with Loren and Rod however I did talk to Jon on the phone. I have never ever in my life had such square shooting people to work with than these people. I absolutely love my new coach. She is on a Workhorse chassis, with a Vortec engine and an Allison 5 speed tranny. She handles like a dream and I can even make a U-turn in her. I feel safe driving her and I am still pinching myself thinking I am in a dream as this coach is my dream come true.
Thank you DeMartini RV for being so customer savvy. You are great to say the least and a real leader in this industry.

My wife and I recently purchased a new Holiday-Rambler motorhome from DeMartini RV. I shopped dealers throughout the country via the internet and found DeMartini to be the the best priced dealer out there. We made the deal on the telephone and everything was exactly as advertised when we arrived at DeMartini's Grass Valley, California, location. After picking up our unit and driving it home to Wyoming from California, we had the bad timing and luck to get a recall notice from the factory.  Nate Davey, DeMartini's lead salesman, helped us through the paper work and got our coach taken care of. This is great service from a dealer after the sale was over and who could have easily brushed us off to the factory.  We highly recommend DeMartini for not only their prices, but their consideration for their customers.

Tim, As I mentioned before my wipers had stopped on my last trip just before we arrived home. I called your service dept. and service adviser put me in touch with Kevin, he immediately contacted MONACO and Barry, Kevin and I had a conference call. They then emailed be a picture and we determined what was clunking causing the wiper linkage to bind....I made a small adjustment and noise is gone and I ran wipers for 10 minuets and all appears OK.  This is the second time I called your dealership with a problem and both times you and your employees went above and beyond to help me fix both of the problems on the spot. I realize it would be much easier to advise me to contact MONACO and wait to be repaired...but your level of customer service made my issues easy to deal with. As you know I go out of my way to recommend DeMartini RV for sales, and now you can rest assured I will promote your customers service after the sale as #1.

Dear Demartinis!

For those of you who come to this website and take a minute to read the testimonials, I have one for you.  Chances are if you have gotten this far, you have seen the Demartini name on the internet a few times.  And, like I found, there were no disparaging words to be found….that seemed odd to me given the wide range opinions and comments that seemed to be the case for just about every other RV professional or dealership I ever read about!  Maybe somewhere, someone had a problem with Demartini, it is hard to please EVERYONE, but I can confirm to anyone interested that these guys are for real…and so are all the compliments!

I have been thinking, looking and wrestling with the decision to buy an RV for a solid year…to say nothing of the gas vs. diesel question.  Hell, they might be glad to be done with me!  Like many, I started out with C class to A class with no slide, to gas with a slide or two to DP to the new C class diesel and on and on and around and around.  Too, these guy have a solid website that was very helpful!!  How can some of the competition say ‘Pictures to come soon’…Well in my opinion, they are losing business…they lost mine! These guys were patient, insightful and helpful to say the least!

I am a salesman too and I know the value of a testimonial…these guys deserve one!

Regards and God Bless,

jh

I took delivery yesterday so clearly I am still in the honeymoon ownership phase, but I know I have an ally and a resource in these guys for today and down the road…no matter how far or long this experiment for me lasts!

Thanks guys!

John Hunt


Hello Nate,

      We just wanted to drop you a note and say how pleased we are with our new coach. It arrived on time today and everything was in order as we expected. We've been outside playing in it since we got home. The delivery drivers were very polite and informative. They called everyday of the trip to let us know where they were and update us on their expected arrival time. We have been very pleased with this transaction and would definitely shop with you in the future. We appreciate you getting us the oven from the factory and the install looks great. Hope we can get out there to California to stop by and meet face to face. thanks again for everything.

Thanks,

Kevin and Kristy

Hi Tim,

Let us introduce ourselves.  I’m Mark Muscardini from Vacaville.  My wife Kathy and I have been looking at R/Vs for over 2 years in anticipation of purchasing one for our retirement in 2005.  When we started our search two years ago we knew very little about R/Vs.  We had no preconceived ideas about which brand, which dealer or which style was best for us.  We did establish a budget of no more than $100,000 for the purchase. 

It just so happened that a friend purchased a La Palma from your Sacramento dealership in 2003.  He recommended that I start my search there.  He applauded the Monaco brand as well as the dealership itself.  In early 2003 we drove into your Sacramento dealership and were immediately met by Les Adair.  After introductions Les suggested Kathy and I take our time and look inside and out at every unit he had on display without him following us around.  He then offered that if we had any questions that we could come to him for the answers.  We absolutely hate high pressure car dealerships and were pleasantly surprised by the casual, relaxed atmosphere we found at DeMartini.  We spent several hours looking at the R/Vs that first day.  When we finally summoned Les he answered every question we had and supplied us with answers to questions we had not even thought of.  We fell in love with the Holiday Rambler Vacationer that first day but after seeing the MSRP of the Vacationer we told Les that we probably should look at either a class C or a lower cost Class A if we wanted to stay within our budget.  He assured us that we could meet our budget and be able to purchase a Vacationer if that was the unit we ultimately wanted.  He knew we were not in the market to purchase a motor home that day and he didn’t try to pressure us into accelerating our decision.  He told us to stop by anytime and make ourselves at home.  We continued our education process over the next two years. We have been to every R/V dealer north of Fresno and we have been to every major R/V show in California.  We looked at every brand, every size and every option available.  We compared diesel vs. gas.  During that two year process Kathy and I came back to Les untold times to ask questions and make comparisons.  Les never made us feel like we were being pests.  He always made us feel like we were at home. 

About three months ago we decided to make our purchase.  After all of the homework we had done we had decided on a Holiday Rambler Vacationer 36WDD.  We had visited your competitor in Gilroy about a year and a half ago who offered to beat any deal you made us.  We can tell you that no matter what their deal would have been that was not going to happen.  Kathy and I had made a commitment to each other way back then, that even if we found a better deal on a Vacationer elsewhere we would buy our motor home from Les and no one else.  We owed it to him for many reasons not the least of which was the amount of time he spent educating us on R/Vs.

We ordered our Vacationer about two months ago.  The process was flawless.  Rod made sure everything was as we ordered.  Our coach arrived Tuesday of last week in time for Christmas.  Mike and Rod and the service staff worked there rears off expediting the delivery process so we could take delivery before Christmas.  They knew our families were in town for the holidays and that we would want to show them our motor home.

Wednesday evening we picked up the Vacationer.  Jimmy did the walk through with us.  He was very meticulous and went over every detail of the operation of the coach and the associated warranties.  When we left the dealership we were confident that we could operate everything without assistance.  Jimmy even called the service Department’s attention to two items he felt needed adjustment before we left the dealership.  Those items were quickly fixed by Mike the service manager.

Tim, we just felt it very important to let you know that you have a first class operation in Sacramento and your staff including Les, Mike, Rod and Jimmy are the best.  We too will recommend DeMartini R/V to our friends as did our friends back in 2003.

We look forward to many years of traveling in the Vacationer and you can be assured that if we need service or ever decide to upgrade to a different model we need look no further than DeMartini.

Happy New Year,

Mark & Kathy Muscardini

To DeMartini RV,                 November 5, 2004

Thank you and your staff,

When I first contacted you and looked at your site, I thought it was to good to be true, however, I soon discovered that it was not only true but a wonderful experience.

Can anyone believe that buying a major motorhome would be pleasant and exciting?

Well, when I decided to trade by 03 Monaco for one with 4 slides my search led me to DeMartini RV. I not only found the one that had all the features I wanted, but I have my choice of both the Monaco and a Holiday Rambler--same size and features.

The pictures on the web site were a wonderful way to get to see all I needed.

If you are going to buy a motorhome, you can shop around, but the deal you make with Tim will be better than anyone else. Also John, Kevin and the others I met were great.

I am glad I drove from Seattle, I came, I saw, I bought, and I am recommending DeMartini RV without reservation.

DeMartini RV Sales,

We just want to let you know how satisfied we are with the DeMartini Team.  We first heard about your firm at a Monaco Rally in West Salem, Wisconsin.  Our motor home friends, the Stechers from Minnesota had referred us to your web site, stating that they had purchased their 2003 Monaco Camelot from you.  They informed us as to how pleased they were with the transaction as well as the savings. Upon returning from the rally, I contacted you via the web and was in touch with Tim immediately.  Within a week we took delivery of a new 2004 Camelot that came right off the assembly line that was delivered to our door, with all of the options that we requested and with several thousand dollars savings.  The driver picked up our 1998 Monaco Windsor and headed for California.  As the saying goes "We are HAPPY Campers."
