Friendly sales guy, I explained what I was interested in and why and they educated me about it and didn't push it further. No hard sales push, it was nice. I was looking mainly for a comparison between the Kia niro ev and the Chevy bolt.

Beware, when they advertise and constantly tell customers they do not charge a "market adjustment" as other dealers do, this is a misleading statement, and customers should be aware. Instead, they charge $2,995 for a pre-installed "security package." The vehicle already comes with a complete slew of security devices, and the actual cost of this item is a few hundred dollars if even that! Go somewhere that is transparent and honest about their pricing, especially since they are so far away!
There are MANY more honest dealers to stop at on your way to this one, I would recommend stopping at one of those instead! If they are not transparent about their pricing, what else are they hiding? The ONLY reason to do this is to fool consumers into thinking they are saving money by traveling all the way to Salinas, when in fact that is not the case at all.

Normally car salespeople do not have the best reputation. These people with great values / integrity are different. I would highly recommend them.

Tire trouble when I was far from home. Tow truck dropped off my vehicle after service department closed, but sales staff helped me to locate a local motel. (Thanks, John, for the ride over!) Next morning, Ramiro in Service was understanding about me wanting to get back on the road. Although they didn't have exactly what I needed in stock, because I did not want any more delay, they put on a used tire that did the job. And didn't overcharge for it, either. Much appreciated.
