I bought new car from California Motors Direct in Santa Ana. Raul helped me through the whole process. Raul was very chill and honest. Raul made the whole process easy and fast. He was direct and to the point. He is very good at communication even after i bought the car. He always calls and texts me back if i have an issue. Raul has taken good care of me and made me feel comfortable with my purchase. Im defiantly coming back to California Motors Direct for my next car!

Walked into the dealership looking to buy my first car. Was pleased to see a very clean and organized seating area and was promptly greeted by staff almost as soon as I entered. Was greatly helped by Mike in finding what car I wanted and also getting to try out any car that I had an interest in. Even after negotiating the price details for a while he helped me out and maintained a professional and polite attitude towards me. Thanks for the nice experience Mike!

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a car from California Motors Direct and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Jesse Gonzalez, the salesman who assisted me, was incredibly friendly, eager to help, and extremely knowledgeable in his field. The dealership boasts a gorgeous inventory with impeccably clean cars, making the browsing and buying experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you're in the market for a used vehicle, I highly encourage you to visit. You won't be disappointed!

It was our first time to personally go to a dealership and it was actually a fun and memorable experience. Anthony Jacobo was very friendly and professional. He got my son approved to get a car under his name with no co-signer even with 0 credit, and even better, he helped me get my dream car too! Though we needed to go back for some parts for both cars, overall experience was great. Thank you Anthony for being accommodating and for helping my son get his first car. We already got some referrals for you! ◡̈

As a healthcare professional, I am very impressed with how professional my experience has been with California Motors Direct. I purchased my car 2 years ago from OC Auto Exchange and purchased Portfolio Protection Extended Warranty Exclusionary. This dealership is no longer in service and the number affiliated with my contract led me here. After countless attempts to getting this warranty to cover my cars injector fuel pumps at Lexus San Diego, I was able to connect with Tammer who went ABOVE and beyond to connect me with the management Arturo who further led me to Albert. Albert oversees warranty and he was able to escalate my issue with the service representative for Portfolio Protection. After speaking with him, my issue was resolved! I only ended up paying the deductible fee and the remainder costs were covered. This dealership has incredible customer service and amazing staff who are HONEST, HELPFUL, and ASSERTIVE. After one phone call, I was given hope and essentially my claim was taken care of. These guys listen and actually will advocate for their clients. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a used car or is dealing with third party warranty issues. Amazing service and I am happy with the outcome! :)

Super straight forward. Everything in the deals is upfront and stated. No surprises. We walked in. Knew what we had. Told them what we wanted with realistic expectations and they made it happen. Best dealership in years and I’ve bought 13 vehicles in the last 10 years from dealers.

I had a great experience here and was very content with being able to leave with a car thanks a lot to Darrell. He was very welcoming and kind during the whole process from the moment we stepped in and helped me with everything to guarantee a great deal. From working with our budget to helping us with the finance portion, Darrell was patient and walked us through everything smoothly. The energy here was great, service was excellent, and the whole car purchasing process definitely was a little less stressful with the help of the team here. Definitely recommend this place and Darrell, he's the best!

My partner and I visited this dealership to purchase a reliable suv, and our experience was excellent. Our salesman, David, was knowledgeable, patient, and made the process enjoyable. He let us test drive several vehicles before we chose a 2021 honda crv. The loan application process was smooth and fast, and we were very pleased with the final price. We highly recommend this dealership!
