KRISTOPHER L KINDERApr 01, 2026

I had an amazing experience at California Motors Direct, and I can’t recommend them enough! Eddie went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free. My parents only speak Spanish, and he took the time to translate everything clearly and answer all of our questions in detail, which meant so much to us. He truly made what felt impossible become possible. I walked in hoping for my dream Jeep, and thanks to Eddie and the team, I drove out with it! Everyone there was welcoming, supportive, and made us feel confident every step of the way. Huge thank you to Eddie and the entire team you guys are incredible. If you’re looking for your dream car, this is definitely the place to go!

I had a great experience working with Tristan at the dealership. He made the whole process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. I ended up getting a white Tesla Model 3, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Tristan was professional, knowledgeable, and really took the time to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. He answered all my questions, kept everything transparent, and never made me feel pressured. If you’re looking for a solid car-buying experience, definitely ask for Tristan. He’ll take care of you.
