Bob Stanley — Internet Sales Consultant

Internet Sales Consultant
Bob Stall Since 1994. San Diego Since '93.
For Bob Stanley, a career in automotive sales wasn't the plan — it was a calling he didn't see coming.
After more than two decades serving his country in the U.S. Military, including 20+ years in Special Operations, Bob relocated to San Diego in 1993 with plans to transition into federal service. When a government hiring freeze put that path on hold, a small newspaper ad led him to Bob Stall Chevrolet — and a conversation with dealer principal John Stall changed everything. John saw something in Bob that day: a natural ability to connect with people and earn their trust. Bob joined the sales team on November 8, 1994, and has been here ever since.
Over the course of his career at Bob Stall, Bob served many years as a Sales Manager before returning to the sales floor on his own terms. Today, he specializes in internet sales and is the dealership's go-to Corvette expert — if you're shopping online or searching for a Chevrolet Corvette in the San Diego area, chances are you'll end up talking to Bob.
Bob has a deep personal appreciation for the men and women who serve. As a veteran himself, he understands the unique needs of military buyers — whether that's navigating VA auto benefits, understanding BAH and deployment timelines, or simply working with someone who gets it. San Diego's military community has trusted Bob for decades, and that trust is something he takes seriously.
"No Pressure Sales."
— Bob Stanley, Internet Sales ConsultantFor Bob, "No Pressure Sales" isn't a slogan — it's how three decades on the floor taught him to do this job. Come to work to work, treat people the way you'd want to be treated, and let the cars speak for themselves. No tactics. No pressure. Just answers, options, and respect.

5 Stars from Odi AP.
"As soon as I walked in I felt comfortable. No one running towards me. Met with Bob, let him know what I was looking for — a 2026 Equinox. Test drove, and then the negotiations began."
"It was hassle-free, not too much back and forth. Gave a great deal for my trade-in. Mike from finance was extremely helpful, advising me about how I can get a refund from the extended warranty from my trade-in."
"I'm glad I decided to go to the La Mesa dealership — they offered a wide selection of Equinox cars and I was able to choose the color I wanted. Thank you for your great service. Will definitely recommend."
San Diego Since '93.
Bob has lived in San Diego for 33 years and currently calls Bonita home, where he owns a condo and is comfortably settled. He moved here in 1993 fresh out of the military, and never had a reason to leave.
Why? Two words: the weather. Plain and simple. There's nothing like a San Diego forecast, and Bob has been quietly enjoying it for over three decades.
When customers ask for restaurant recommendations, Bob has a short list he stands behind — Anthony's, Ruth's Chris, and STK. The kind of places you go when the occasion calls for it, or just because you're in the mood for a great meal.
Working in La Mesa keeps him centrally located — a short drive from Bonita, and within easy reach of customers across San Diego County.

- Anthony's - San Diego classic
- Ruth's Chris Steak House
- STK Steakhouse
Neighborhood
- Lives in Bonita — condo owner
- San Diego resident since 1993
- U.S. Military Veteran — proudly settled
- Works in La Mesa — central to it all
Fish. Travel. Repeat.
When Bob is not at the dealership, you'll usually find him on a boat, on a plane, or in front of a game. Fishing, sports, and travel are his three things — the kind of hobbies that recharge a guy who has been at this business for over three decades and still shows up sharp.
His Chevrolet pick? The Equinox EV. The combination of usability, range, and modern Chevy tech makes it one of his favorites in the current lineup — and he loves walking customers through everything it can do.
