We came out this week looking to get a car and initially went to STG, but unfortunately, they couldn’t accommodate our needs. Shortly after, we received a call from an online agent at California Motors Direct, located right next door. We made an appointment to see a Nissan Pathfinder, and upon arrival, we were introduced to Zach Harper. From the moment we met Zach, he was sharp, attentive, and genuinely focused on helping us. He listened carefully to our needs and concerns, and worked tirelessly—going back and forth with options—to get as close as possible to what we were looking for. Thanks to Zach’s determination and outstanding customer service, we drove away with a 2024 Nissan Pathfinder that same day. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. Thank you, Zach!

Thanks to his outstanding customer service, we walked away not only with a great vehicle but also a truly positive experience.

Great work with the representative who spoke with me today. Came in and had a progressive discussion that enabled me to buy a car the same day during arrival. I recommend the facility as well as working with Angel Serrano. Noted the concerns he addressed them professionally and allowed us the comfortability in knowing the issues would be appropriately taken care of. Made me comfy and happy. Now I got a great deal and a car to take home. This was written on 09aug25. Walk in at 3:50pm and walked out by 7:30pm with new car.

The most professional and respectful dealership I've ever been to. Nick is absolutely awesome, we need more guys like him in this world

Honestly I was nervous at first it wasn’t my first time buying a car but first time through an actual dealership. Luckily Mr. Esteban was here and guided me through with honest and direct transparency that made this experience so much easier. He did not push for my decision nor add any stress or pressure he was a big help and a big reason as to why I decided and was more than sure on making my purchase. Will definitely keep him and his team in mind when doing any type of automobile business or assistance.
