Guillermo Ortiz — Sales & Leasing Professional
Guillermo
Ortiz
Sales & Leasing Professional · Se Habla Español
He Was Backpacking Through Colombia.
Guillermo Ortiz wasn't planning on car sales. He'd spent a couple of years traveling through Europe, Colombia, and parts of Mexico — the kind of travel that resets your sense of what comes next. When he came home to the U.S., he was looking for a fresh start and trying to figure out what direction to take.
A friend suggested a sales training program that connected candidates with local dealerships. Bob Stall reached out after. The interview felt right, the team felt right, and that was that.
Six years later, he's still here — and still happy with how it turned out. What keeps him at Bob Stall is the same thing he noticed walking in: it's family-oriented in a real way. The people care about each other, the dealership cares about its employees, and that energy makes the work easier than it should be.
His approach with customers carries the same posture. Approachable, straightforward, easy to work with. He'll tell you what he knows. If there's something he doesn't, he'll go find out. No bluffing — that's not how he was trained to operate.
And he works in both English and Spanish, which makes the floor immediately accessible to Spanish-speaking and bilingual families across San Diego County.
"I keep things honest, relaxed, and straightforward."
— Guillermo Ortiz, Sales & LeasingBuying a car can already feel overwhelming. So Guillermo's job, as he sees it, is to make the experience easier — by listening to what customers actually need and giving them the information they need to make the right decision for themselves. After six years on the floor, he runs his side of the desk that way every time.
Different Background. Same Discipline.
Most car salespeople come from retail or another sales gig. Guillermo came up through eight years in the United States Air Force as military police, more than a decade practicing Muay Thai (he taught combat classes for a stretch), and a couple of years of international travel before he ever set foot in a showroom. That mix shows up in how he works: disciplined, direct, calm under pressure, and honest about what he knows and doesn't know.

5 Stars from Kraig McGann. He Shopped Every Chevy Dealer in 30 Miles First.
"I was considering the purchase of a 2026 Chevy Equinox and literally visited every Chevrolet dealer in a 30 mile radius of my home in El Cajon. I was treated the best by Guillermo Ortiz and the personnel at Bob Stall Chevrolet in La Mesa."
"I felt that Mr. Ortiz went above and beyond to help me locate the exact vehicle that I wanted and worked to get me the price that I could afford that included a low interest rate promotion from GM Financial."
"In my opinion and experience, you will not find anyone better than Mr. Ortiz at Bob Stall Chevrolet to help you find the right Chevy vehicle at the right price."
Ten Years On and Off. Long Enough to Know the Trails.
Guillermo has been in San Diego on and off for about ten years, and he's not in any rush to leave. What he loves is the geography — how many different things you can do within just a few hours.
The beaches. The mountains. The hiking trails. The vineyards. The sightseeing. The food scene. Most weekends he doesn't even leave the county; the variety is built in. And when he does want to go bigger, the freeways take him to Hollywood, Universal Studios, Disneyland, Six Flags, and SeaWorld in a single afternoon's drive.
When customers ask him for a recommendation, Guillermo doesn't give them a restaurant — he gives them a trail. Corte Madera up in Pine Valley. Annie's Canyon in Solana Beach. Stonewall Peak in Cuyamaca State Park.
All three are real San Diego trails — the kind of places where you find out fast that the locals know things the visitors don't. Guillermo's the local.

Dad to a Two-Year-Old. Everything Else After.
Outside of work, the center of Guillermo's life is his two-year-old daughter. Most of his off-the-clock hours go to her — and to discovering new food spots together, because the San Diego food scene doesn't run out of options.
When the schedule allows, he trains and spars. Muay Thai has been part of his life for over a decade, and the discipline of the gym doesn't really leave you. Add in the climbing, the archery, and the skydiving, and you get a picture of someone who's spent a lot of his life choosing the harder option on purpose.
His Chevrolet pick? The Camaro. The car that goes when you tell it to go.
