California
Welcome to Placerville, CA!
We have the distinct honor of being located centrally in California, the state with the largest economy and most varied landscape in the country.
Less than an hour from our state capitol in Sacramento, we’re also only an hour from South Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in America. Being so close to so many unique environments is one of the coolest parts about being in Placerville. We have the state’s oldest newspaper in the Mountain Democrat, too.
Without Placerville, California would not be what it is today. Just a few miles from us in Coloma was where James Marshall discovered gold in the American River in 1848. This led to the Gold Rush, which brought thousands among thousands from all over the country and world to Placerville and California. We have customers come from all over the state to visit because of what makes Thompson’s special. Being family-owned, that’s exactly how to treat everyone here, from customers to our employees; we all make up the Thompson family together.
So if you’re anywhere in California, like the Bay Area, Chico and Redding, Sacramento, and even as far down as Los Angeles or out of state in Nevada, we will make your trip worthwhile, and it’s a reason that, as a small dealer group, we do so much business outside of our small town.
That’s because people remember us and the fun and joy we bring to the car-buying experience.
What’s there to do in Placerville?
Well, there are numerous great hiking trails, wineries (we even have our own Thompsons wine), incredible restaurants, scenic Apple Hill orchards and markets, and the most perfect historic Downtown Placerville Main Street.
Shopping for a new Jeep Wrangler in California?
Explore Desolation Wilderness, the Rubicon, and the deserts. If you’re hauling boats, campers, and horses as so many do in California, a Ram 1500 or 2500 could be for you. They’ve become so refined and sophisticated that many use them for their daily driving. A Jeep Cherokee or Jeep Grand Cherokee remains an incredible crossover and SUVs for all needs.
We offer finance and lease deals and specials as well in California, with great programs and rebates. And if bad credit affects you, fear not as we have our New Start Financing program available to you. And don’t forget our Mopar Service Center, ready for all your maintenance needs to keep your vehicle in the best shape for years to come.
Placerville is just up the road from Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, and Folsom!
