Raul Amaya was a stand up car salesman who went above and beyond to get me the best deal possible with what little credit I had to my name. He was honest, straightforward, and made sure I was well informed throughout the whole process. Highly recommend working with him specifically, but the whole team at CMD were all great people. Fantastic experience overall.

This is a little hidden gem. I found it via the Kelly Blue Book website and I left as a happy camper. Justin was fantastic at helping me out. He gave me some pointers on financing and he was very personable and easy to talk to. Two thumbs up. I'm happy with my BMW 😊 Just ONE gripe, not even a complaint, is that the windshield was EXTREMELY covered with streaks to where I had to pull over and wipe it down. If anyone at the dealership is reading this, have the guys who do the car washing be on their "A" game. They're getting paid to work not slack off.

Andrew was very helpful, did a great job explaining things to me as a first time car buyer, and I walked away with the car I wanted! Great experience overall.
