Tristan was friendly and great.

Tristan was great to work with, very accommodating

I recently purchased a car and worked with Tristan — and I can honestly say it was one of the most pleasant car-buying experiences I’ve had. What stood out immediately was that after booking my appointment, I wasn’t spammed with calls or texts trying to pull me in. They respected my time and let the appointment speak for itself. Once I arrived, everything moved efficiently. The process was clear and straightforward — no runaround, no pressure tactics. Tristan was upfront and transparent every step of the way, which is everything you want when making a big purchase. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a no-nonsense, respectful car-buying experience.

I had a great experience working with Armando. From the beginning, he was professional, honest, and willing to put in the effort to help me find a deal that worked for my situation. Unlike many salespeople who rely on pressure tactics, Armando listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and stayed patient throughout the entire process. What stood out most was his transparency and willingness to communicate openly. He took the time to explain things clearly, kept me updated throughout the financing process, and continued working on the deal even when I was ready to walk away. I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. Buying a vehicle can be stressful, but Armando made the experience much easier. Thanks to his persistence and professionalism, I was able to drive home in a vehicle I am genuinely happy with. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, respectful, and truly works for his customers, I highly recommend asking for Armando.

Ask for Johnathon! I repeat ask for JOHNATHON!!!!! He’s the best, he works with you and makes sure you leave happy! He gives the best customer service and is an all around great guy. Thanks Johnathon for everything.

Thank you, Tristan, for all your help. Great experience at Motor Trade in Norco. :)

I came here looking for a car on a specific budget, and upon arriving I was greeting with a bright smile and a firm handshake by a gentle named Moe. After a short conversation explaining the type of car I was looking for and my budget Moe was very quick to show me multiple cars and was happy to answer all my questions, and I felt as he truly cared about what I was looking for and he checked all the boxes for me as a sales men. We ended up finding a car that I liked and after asking for a test drive he somehow already had the key in his hand ready for me to take it on a spin. After return and talking prices we were able to meet at price that was in budget for me. I really appreciate Moe and all the effort and professionalism he displayed during my time there. To anyone going to this location I would definitely recommend speaking to Moe because he does an amazing job and goes above and beyond.

My experience at CMT was amazing and great start to a perfect day. Christian H. was very helpful and honest! He did not pressure me, he left every decision up to me and made the process smooth. I highly recommend this salesman because he is great at what he does. The first salesman I met that isn’t your typical salesman, a great guy! 10/10.

David was exceptional when showing me my new vehicle and very thorough with the paper work.

I was helping my sister look for a car. At first she couldn’t get approved and we thought the deal was dead. Carlos followed up with us and ended up getting her into a newer Chevy Equinox than we expected. Appreciate the help and would recommend him!
