I recently purchased a 2021 Ford Mustang, and the entire experience was outstanding thanks to Joel. The buying process was smooth, transparent, and never felt rushed or pressured. Joel went above and beyond to make sure I got a great deal. I absolutely love my Mustang, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received.

I had the best car-buying experience thanks to Gio. He went above and beyond from the moment I walked in—patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me find the right car, not just making a sale. He explained everything clearly, walked me through all my options, and worked hard to secure me an amazing deal that fit exactly what I needed. What stood out most was his professionalism and honesty. He never rushed me, never pressured me, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. You can tell he takes pride in his work and in taking care of his customers. Gio is the kind of salesperson every dealership needs—someone who builds trust, delivers real value, and represents the company with integrity. He absolutely deserves recognition for the level of service he provides.

Flower MartinezNov 16, 2025

I just bought a car from Gio and honestly, he made the whole process so easy. No pressure, no games—just straight to the point and super helpful. He found me a great deal, answered all my questions, and actually cared about what I needed instead of trying to upsell me. He actually listened to what I wanted and helped me lock in a deal I’m really happy with. If you want someone honest, patient, and knowledgeable, ask for Gio.

I had an excellent experience working with Alex at California Motor Trade in Norco. He was incredibly patient and understanding, especially since I was there with my one-year-old son. He made the whole process comfortable and stress-free, going above and beyond to accommodate my situation. Alex took the time to really listen to what I needed and worked closely with his manager to adjust the numbers so that the monthly payments fit within my budget. I genuinely felt that he cared about helping me find the right deal, not just making a sale. I left feeling confident and grateful for his honesty, professionalism, and kindness. If you’re looking for someone who’s patient, transparent, and willing to go the extra mile to make things work for you, I highly recommend asking for Alex!
