Excellent service. Never felt like I was being “sold” a car. Easy process. Chose a car, test drove the car, and was out in a few hours. Carlos was awesome, one of the best sales reps on the floor… I’ll have to come back in a year to purchase another vehicle. Since they also have excellent prices! Thank you again, Carlos!

From the moment I stepped out of my car, Anthony was right there to greet me and immediately asked which vehicle I was interested in no time wasted, just straight to business. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and worked hard to get me the absolute best out-the-door price. The entire team at California Motor Direct was welcoming and easy to talk to. The vibes were great, and everyone genuinely put in the effort to make the numbers work. I really appreciated how transparent and dedicated they were throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

George was great to work with. We told him which car we wanted to see. He brought it out and we test drove it. Really liked the car told him we wanted to take it and had our own financing. At no point during our process did George pressure us. He didn’t try to upsell us on anything. He explained everything in terms we understood. Made us feel comfortable and relaxed. If you go into the California Motors Direct in Santa Ana ask for George and you’ll leave with the car you want knowing you were treated great!!!

I saw a Chevy Blazer online and came straight to the dealer to check it out. I was greeted by Trey who immediately asked how he could help me. I told him what car I was interested in and he grabbed the keys for a test drive. Trey was so knowledgeable! He answered every question I had and was easy going. I had originally came in with my own financing from my credit union but Trey, Kenny and Omar told me they could get me a better rate. They were able to beat my credit union rate by a whole percent and keep me at the payment I wanted. These guys were great and such a dream to work with! I will definitely work with them again!
