Anthony was super helpful and nice to my husband and I. It really helped that he was bilingual and was able to answer my father’s questions in Spanish as well. I took notes while talking about prices and he answered every question I had, asked his manager when he didn’t know and came back with reasonable numbers. Very patient and knowledgeable person.

I live in Las Vegas, however, was disgusted with the used car market and decided to go to S California. I visited at least seven dealerships. Glad my research led me to California motors direct where I met my salesman, Gabriel O. Immediately he presented himself in the most stylish and professional way! He was immediately very much service oriented, in addressing my exact needs in a very customer oriented way. I have been in high-end sales myself for more than 25 years and I commend him on his approach in being low pressure but direct and customer centric. He was honest and straightforward while answering all of my questions. I appreciated his level of transparency while providing me the upmost in service and expertise. He went above and beyond to help me maximize my short time here to find the perfect car, while here on business. I would highly recommend him to provide you with the same exceptional service when looking for a used car in Southern California! Don’t hesitate to ask for Gabriel O.
