I absolutely love them! JAY went above and beyond! From providing excellent customer service, to making sure I got approved when I didn’t think I could, to staying on top of calling back and responding in a timely manner, to personally delivering my car to my home when its ready. I would recommend the company and Jay to anyone trying to get a car. I am so happy with my results! Thank you CMT & THANK YOU JAY!!

I.E. Auto Exchange was wonderful. My car buying experience was a joy. They genuinely make you feel appreciated and listen to all your concerns with the intent to meet your high standards for customer service, automotive quality, and Raul was an excellent representative! I feel like I received both a car and a brother! Ha ha! Thank you and have a wonderful day! 💯

****** is one of the best sales person or just a person in general he truly cares about and the customer will do anything he can to help you find exactly what youre looking for. Not pushy at all and actually encourages you to look around and make the right decision for yourself. He does not try to convince you that you need to buy any cars if anything he says take your time and think it over and were always here to help. I am a repeat customer and encourage my friends and family to buy their future cars from here. I am extremely happy and very grateful and thankful that I chose this dealership do you do business with. Ive only had the pleasure of dealing with yourself but Im sure everyone else there is pretty awesome also. A+ service

I had a fantastic experience with California Motor Trade. My salesmen was Erich and he was great. This guy helped me out as much as possible and was really down to earth and easy to talk with. If anybody is looking to buy a used car, California Motor Trade is the place to do it. Ask for Erich. Thank you for making car buying easier.

Carlos made the buying process easier than I’ve ever had before with little back and forth or making me wait!

My experience with OC Auto Exchange is awesome! Jimmy and Pete were very communicative with me through phone or text. Pete was the one who helped me when I got there to check the car that I wanted. He explained everything very well and he answered all of my questions in details from the car to the processing of papers. There are some details I wanted to get fixed on the car and he promised me he’ll fix all of it without any cost from me, and he did! I was so happy with the results. He really kept his promise. If you wanted to buy a used car in this dealership, ask for Pete! Like

I came from Arizona to look at a very specific car and scheduled a time to see the car days in advance but it had been sold when I came to look at it without notice. ALTHOUGH I tapped into a car I had no experience with before and then was newly introduced to a car I’m having the time of my life with. So I want to thank Justin Rivera. He was super nice and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of despite the inconvenience. I will be coming back and will only be making my next car deal with Justin. Thank you for not undermining my first big purchase and making it a celebratory event. P.S. To Justin, three words for the new car “Tuned Induction Monster” 💨🚗💥

I have been shopping for a vehicle for a while so I've used a couple of used car for sale platforms and I noticed that the price for their cars are competitively lower than other dealers. I went in to check a Honda pilot and I ended buying a lexus instead because of the price compared to other dealer. On top of this, the buying experience is very professional and smooth. They have a team of sales staff which started with Cody, then Eric, Aaron and Jordan who all work diligently to get me a fair deal for my ride!! Thanks again guys. I'm very happy with my purchase and my new ride.

They have only very nice cars, a comfortable office and a professional team of Salesmen and Support Staff. It is right off the freeway and they made everything work for me to get a magnificent 'as new' 2018 Ford Flex Limited twin every option I can imaging it having. Thank You Guys for a great car I know I will enjoy for years to come.
