Bob Stall Started This. His Family Kept It Going.
Bob Stall opened this dealership in 1959 with a belief that buying a car should feel exciting, not stressful. He left a steady career at General Motors to take a leap of faith on Alvarado Road in La Mesa — and built something that is still here more than 65 years later.
We are still family-owned. Tom and John Stall run the dealership today alongside a team that has been here for years. We have sold cars to San Diego families for generations — parents who bought their first Chevy here, and now their kids coming back for theirs.
"You're going to get a good deal, and a good deal more." — Bob Stall, Founder

Disabled Customer Accommodation Policy
Bob Stall Chevrolet is committed to providing excellent customer service for all of its customers. We have established a policy to provide temporary hand controls and/or a range of Adaptive Driving Devices for disabled customers so they can test-drive vehicles before purchasing them.
To test-drive a vehicle using temporary hand controls and/or Adaptive Driving Devices, please ask for the Sales Managers: Billy Shaw, Syed Ali, or Adam Hassin in person, by phone at (800) 295-2695 or (619) 460-1311, or by email at BShaw@bobstall.com, SyedA@bobstall.com, or adamh@bobstall.com to make arrangements.
While there is no additional charge for the use of hand controls and/or Adaptive Driving Devices, their installation needs to be pre-arranged on a reservation basis to allow time for installation. While we will use good faith efforts to satisfy every request to test drive a vehicle with hand controls and/or Adaptive Driving Devices, please allow us a reasonable time to arrange their installation Monday through Friday. We cannot permit the installation of any hand control devices supplied by the customer or any other third party.
Please be advised you will be asked what hand-controls or other devices you are accustomed to using and if a left- or right-hand control is needed. All the preceding is aimed at accommodating our customers as reasonably, efficiently, and safely as possible. Often a request, fulfillment, and/or installation process for temporary hand controls and/or Adaptive Driving Devices can be subject to delays which are beyond our control. There may be some manufacturers and models that such devices cannot be installed on due to circumstances beyond Bob Stall Chevrolet's control. We look forward to servicing you and earning your business.
