Awesome cars, at low prices. Process a lil slow but most dealers can't help it. Especially if you don't get pre-approval before you get there. I bought my car last year from CMD and got a sweet deal. Came back and got another great deal. For my daughter this time and she loves her car. We bought the bumper to bumper warranty which is not a bad deal considering it's a luxury car. Ian gave us the option and made sure we knew the price difference with or without the warranty. I think all the people throwing shade on here just don't know how to buy a car. Definitely deserve 5 stars. I already told Ian I will definitely be back soon to upgrade my car cause I think my daughter's flossing on me now. Thanks CMD!!

Okay...so I came to this place thinking there is no way I'm going to be able to afford a car here because the cars are very well kept and they got the best brand of cars on their lot (gorgeous cars!) I mean they even had cars, I never heard of but nice!👌 and I almost gave up before saying to myself "you know... 🤔Sometimes you have to jump over a sidewalk to land on grass and see the Greener side! and so I got on my phone, called before completely leaving the vicinity and asked to speak with a higher level of authority and i let this person know how I really wanted this car and if there was anything he could do for me to help me make this happen? Make a vehicle that I've always admired finally mine! (A MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE!) and with the warmest voice he said "SANDRA I BELIEVE WE CAN DO THAT FOR YOU!" "WE DO OUR BEST TO TRY AND MAKE ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAPPY AND LEAVE WITH WHAT THEY CAME LOOKING FOR, THAT IS OUR GOAL!" with that being said I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU GUS!!! For making me the happiest person on your car lot on Saturday, I'm so grateful to you. I would also like to address the Company: "California Motors Direct" To say:: Make no mistake when I say how happy and excited I was when GUS stepped in and stepped up to accommodate me in accomplishing a car I always wanted!😁

I found the truck I was looking for through Capital One Navigator, got pre-approved and gave them a call to set an appointment For a test drive. They told me my sales rep would be Gabriel. Arrived at the dealership, they had the truck washed and ready to go. I drove it and decided I wanted to move forward with the purchase. Generally my experiences at dealerships has been lengthy and a lot of negotiating and waiting around. But Gabriel made it as quick and painless as possible. They gave me what I asked for for my trade in, and we were off and running. Got a great deal and had an overall good experience with these folks. I would certainly recommend. Ask for Gabriel, he knows his stuff, is very helpful and will get you on your way with your new ride in no time.
