Oswaldo
McKenzie
Fleet & Sales Consultant · Se Habla Español
Same Dealership Since 1989.
Oswaldo McKenzie was born in Panama City, Panama, and arrived in San Diego 38 years ago. A year later, on May 5, 1989, he started at Bob Stall Chevrolet — and he's been there ever since.
Thirty-seven years on the same sales floor. Same family-owned operation, same kind of customers walking through the door, same simple reason for staying: they treat you like family, and that goes for the customers too.
Today Oswaldo handles both fleet and retail sales — single Chevrolet shoppers and multi-vehicle commercial buyers, all in the same week. After this many years at the same dealership, he doesn't have to look up which model year had which features. He was there for it.
He works fluently in English and Spanish — Spanish first — and brings a degree in industrial mechanic alongside the brand experience. The combination means customers walk out with the right answer the first time, regardless of what language they came in speaking or how complicated their fleet need turned out to be.
"Honest and sincere."
— Oswaldo McKenzie, Fleet & Sales ConsultantTwo words. That's Oswaldo's whole approach. After this long at Bob Stall, customers know what to expect from him — and they keep coming back for the same reason they came the first time.
Same Dealership Since 1989. Two Languages. Two Specialties.
Oswaldo's career started at Bob Stall — and it stayed there. Every market cycle, every model refresh, every kind of buyer who's walked through the door since 1989. When customers come in asking about a vehicle, he doesn't have to think about which trim came out when. He was there for it. The result: faster answers, fewer surprises, and a salesperson who can switch between English and Spanish without breaking the conversation.

Panama to Chula Vista, Thirty-Eight Years Ago.
Oswaldo has been in the San Diego area for 38 years — longer than he's been at Bob Stall, which is saying something. He and his wife live in Chula Vista, central to the South Bay community and a short drive from the dealership.
What he loves about San Diego is what most long-time locals love: the weather, the endless weekend options, the restaurants. There's no shortage of reasons not to leave.
When customers ask Oswaldo for recommendations, he points them to two places that don't disappoint: Balboa Park and Coronado. Two of San Diego's most quintessential destinations, both worth the visit whether you've been once or a hundred times.
Working out of La Mesa keeps him a quick run from Chula Vista and within easy reach of customers across San Diego County — including the substantial South Bay Spanish-speaking community he naturally serves.
Favorite Local Spots
- Balboa Park — anytime
- Coronado — quintessential San Diego
Where He's Based
- Lives in Chula Vista — South Bay
- 38 years in San Diego
- Works in La Mesa — central county
- Close to the South Bay Spanish-speaking community
Movies. Dinner. The Wife.
Outside of work, Oswaldo's wind-down is straightforward: time with his wife. Movies, going out to dinner, the kind of slow nights that feel earned after a week on the sales floor.
On the road, he drives two Chevys. A 2018 Malibu and a 2026 Blazer EV cover the full spectrum from comfortable sedan to next-generation electric — and after this many years selling the brand, he picked both for the same reason customers should: they fit how he actually drives.
