I purchased a 2018 Chevy Silverado today, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience, all thanks to Darrell. From the moment I walked into the dealership, Darrell made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His knowledge about the vehicle was impressive, and he answered all of my questions with patience and clarity. What really stood out was Darrell's commitment to finding the perfect truck for my needs. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and never pressured me into anything I didn’t want or need. His honesty and integrity made me feel confident in my purchase. The paperwork process was quick and efficient, and Darrell made sure I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. I’m thrilled with my Silverado and know I made the right choice. I highly recommend Darrell to anyone in the market for a vehicle. You’ll be in excellent hands.

This place was so great! The cars were nice, and the customer service was amazing. They weren't difficult or complicated or rude. They all work together so well that the communication process was so easy and effective, it took the stress away from the car buying process. They were with me every step of the way and the quality was absolutely worth it. Junior was so courteous and thorough. The dealership was comfortable and they had coffee. So great. I would totally recommend this dealership.

I had been debating on buying a car cash from an auction or a dealership I didn’t want to deal with a high monthly payments or high interest rate. I came in to shop around and I ended up purchasing a car with warranty , really great pricing & low interest rate. My car salesman (Joshua Villalobos)didn’t force me into anything I didn’t want ,was very transparent with all the details and history of a car rather than putting me in a car with high interest rate or out of my budget. He listened and was patient & made this experience more comforting. I will be back with family for their next car.

It was truly a great experience. Austin Scott helped me get the car I wanted. Negotiated a price that we both agreed on and signed the paper work. Made the experience smooth as can be. I will be referring Austin and this dealership to my friends and family for future purchases.

Saw a car I liked on cars.com and called California Motors Direct to see if it was still available. Junior answered and helped me with this. I went down to the dealership and asked for him. I enjoyed working with Junior because he wasn’t a predatory salesman, didn’t make me feel pressured at all, and gave me the time I needed to make my decision and feel comfortable. He was patient and understanding. He had a calm demeanor and was down to earth. He was able to get me a good deal and his finance manager, Benjamin, even helped me score a lower rate. I was super appreciative and thankful of their generosity. They handled everything for me and I kicked back. The whole process took around 3 hours. Not bad. Thanks Junior and Benjamin!

FCD did a great job of preparing the car we wanted for us. They responded to our requests for info, which were many since we live in Michigan and couldn't see the car in person. Also, they accommodated our need to fly in to pick it up and drive back home. George picked us up at the airport and made the purchase process fairly painless, particularly with explaining the requirements of purchasing the car in California. We're two happy buyers!
