About Referral Auto Group in Escalon, CA

From Rock Bottom to Rolling Forward

In 2011, we took a crazy leap of faith. After 10+ years in the mortgage world and hitting rock bottom, we sold our truck and trailer, scraped together an interest-only loan, and opened a tiny car dealership — Referral Auto Group — in Oakdale, CA.

It wasn’t easy. But passion pulled us back to RVs. We chased it. We bought RVs ( travel trailers, 5th wheels and motorhomes) direct from private sellers across seven western states — no auctions, no shortcuts — and hauled them home ourselves.

Soon, we needed more space, moved to Escalon, brought in our first brand-new line (Shasta Phoenix), and started building the service center and team we have today.

We stayed open through COVID when others closed. We invested when it would’ve been easier to walk away. Why?
Because our clients — not customers — deserve our best, always.

Today, we’re proud to still be known as the RV dealership with a car dealership name — a name we earned through years of loyalty, not marketing.

This journey isn't over. It’s just getting started.
Thank you to our amazing clients and team — you’re the reason we’re here.
