Jamal was great. Very quick with replies and really respectful without being overly pushy. Test drives were not a problem and everything went smooth and quick. Credit checks, approvals and the whole paperwork side went quick and pretty straight forward. If you are looking to go through this dealer with no hassle or extra unnecessary fumbling ask for Jamal to help out. He was respectful to my family and other customers that were asking him things during our interaction. No time was wasted and things went well overall.

From start to finish, the purchase was seamless and stress-free. The dealership was immaculate, and everyone there was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Johnny’s professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set him apart. I couldn't be happier with my new vehicle and the outstanding service I received. Highly recommend California Motors Direct for anyone in the market for a new car!

Went to lot with the intention of test driving only, the varied selection, no hassle attitude and price of car ultimately led to a purchase within a few hours. The selection this lot has to offer is fantastic and Justins knowledge and assistance helped in providing the smoothest transaction. With Christians help, Justin got me a great deal on the trade in and I'm walking away satisfied with purchase. Looking to return to company when we're in the market for our next vehicle and highly recommend across the board.

My husband and I visited California Motor Trade on June 7 looking to trade in our fairly new vehicle for a bigger more comfortable one and was not disappointed. Miguel Barajas helped us greatly by showing us some options of RAV4 models and made the whole process painless. We knew that we were going into this purchase with the potential of being upside down since our existing car was only a yr. old but with the help of Miguel we got a good deal on both the trade in and the RAV4 that we ended buying. The whole experience was fairly quick and seem less. Nothing but great things to say about Miguel and he was super friendly and matter of fact which we appreciated. We didn’t feel pushed or rushed in anyway as u normally do in dealers so for that I want to say Thank you Miguel. I would recommend him and California Motor for anybody looking to get into a good car at a good value.

Johnny was able to work with me and was able to get me approved for the vehicle I wanted. I was able to test drive the vehicle, which was in good condition. Deshawn made sure the process was simple and quick. I am very grateful for their help and cooperation, I do appreciate their time and patience with my situation. I can say that I will recommend others to this dealership.

Fantastic experience at California Motors Direct. The car I had in mind was unavailable but Frank, Joshua and Christian worked together to find a more than suitable alternative. What a find! I am super pleased with my 2011 Lexus RX 450h with 60k miles and in immaculate condition. The team honored my requests for cosmetic corrections and prepared the vehicle within 24 hours. Even after purchase and the initial drive, I discovered two minor issues which Frank acknowledged that CDM would correct without additional expense. Easy to work with, CMD is my dealership of choice for referrals and next purchase.

I recently visited the dealership with the intention of purchasing a Honda Civic Hatchback. From the outset, I was greeted by Michael, who provided exceptional customer service. After inspecting the car and taking it for a test drive, we discussed pricing. At no point did I feel pressured or intimidated. I appreciated their willingness to negotiate and arrive at a mutually agreeable price. Although buying a car can be challenging, the team made the process smooth and straightforward for me.
