Purchased a 2016 Camaro from here, very welcoming dealer! It was my first purchase from a dealer & they made it super easy. Gabriel, David & Christian made everything very easy to process! Clear explanation & helped us to the max.

Gabriel is great. He is very patient with customers. To my surprise, he still provides excellent after-sales service

Was skeptical at first, thought it was going to be just another one of those big dealers ..I was surprised among arriving ..My family and I were greeted by one of their sales men right away ..Aston. Right away he did an amazing job of making us feel welcomed ..he was the star of the show. He made the experience of buying a car as a first time buyer trying to co-sign for my parents super easy ..he sat with us and ran through different options and tried his best to get us approved any way possible…we were in and out in about 2 hours but that is easily due to the fact that my family and I had constant questions as I was a first time buyer and co-signer …without hesitation he answered every last question regarding credit with a great Attitude even though it was getting late ..if you know your stuff about getting a car at a dealer he would have you in and out in a hour tops he is that quick. We also spoke to the manager “el jefe” and he was also great..answered many questions for my parents in Spanish …Now the car ..got a 2017 Camaro in super top shape..used but you wouldn’t be able to tell their cars are in top shape my parents and family love it ..overall an amazing experience..will forsure be going to them and Aston for my next car ..again don’t be scared by one bad review off emotion like I was and go check them out !!

Great service. You don’t feel pressured and they calmly show you any vehicle you are interested in seeing and test driving. Dillan Perez helped and was awesome! He was calm, patient, and thorough in explaining differences between two vehicles we were interested in. We did not feel pressured nor rushed by Dillan in viewing the vehicle nor in discussing the pricing. Paperwork was also smoothly processed. Thanks Dillan.

Austin was super quick to respond to my initial inquiry online and we hashed it out and he and his company helped me purchase a car for my Daughter. Very fast and easy and in my opinion, he and they went above and beyond a typical used car purchase. I’m extremely grateful

My wife and I were in a tight spot with a car with mechanical issues. We went to California Motor Trend and worked with Miguel. he was able to find us a suitable vehicle at a price point that we could work with based on our situation. It was a pleasure working with him, he was knowledgeable and empathetic to our concerns. We drove off the lot in a " new to us" vehicle with low mileage that day!. Miguel was very helpful and I would recommend asking for him if you choose to use California Motor Trade. Big thanks to Miguel and the team at CMT Norco!

I drove all the way from San Diego to look at a car and it was way worth the drive. Andres was amazing and moved 6 cars to get to the one I liked in the back after I opted not to get the one I came to look at. He was patient and helpful. The overall experience was very impressive. Then David comes to save the day getting me an interest rate that was lower then my credit union. Wow! Didn't expect car buying to be a pleasant experience but these guys made it easy and fun.
