Great customer service from start to finish, financed a truck with Adam. Truck had some minor issues that should have been handled before putting up for sale but aside from that, the salesman that took care of me did a great job. Didn’t feel rushed or pressured into a deal and felt like the whole process was pretty efficient. Would return if I ever decide to get another vehicle.

To say that the customer service I received at LA Auto Exchange was exceptional, is still an understatement. As a first time car purchaser, I'm incredibly fortunate to have been in the hands of David & Johnny. From start to finish, David was incredibly patient, informative, and overall a great source of information regarding everything related to cars, which stood out in how he answered my million first-time car owner questions. David really did go above and beyond in his customer facing skills and this is highly appreciated & should not go unnoticed! I know that car salesmen tend to have negative stereotypes, given the nature of the business; however, David did not exhibit any of the negative traits that car salesmen are reputed for. Instead, he was incredibly patient & knowledgeable in answering my questions and gave his objective opinion when prodded to compare/contrast my different vehicle options. Not only was it a relief to be working with someone who exhibited no desire in upselling customers, it was also a great pleasure to learn more about cars through someone who's clearly an expert in this field. With my personal experience, LA Auto Exchange really stood out as one of the best dealerships I could've ever hoped to purchase my first car from. From aspects like: staff friendliness, the team's organizational skills, and working with people who are empathetic experts in their field. Towards the end of closing the deal, I ran into a hiccup regarding getting a car insurance policy, or else I would be able to close the deal that night. Throughout this dilemma, David & Johnny were nothing but hospitable, patient, and incredibly helpful in helping me solve the situation. Big shoutout again to David and Johnny here, I truly appreciate the both of you helping me along every step of the way, and I wish you & your team a great year! TL;DR - I highly recommend going to LA Auto Exchange when looking to purchase your next car. The staff is incredible, objective & transparent, and will go above and beyond in helping you with the entire process :)

Arvin went above and beyond (even missing lunch) to make sure I walked away happy and was straightforward and patient with me! I had a set budget and the finance team worked diligently to meet me there. Not a bunch of pressuring and hassling like some dealerships do. Also, they made sure my car was cleaned and beautiful when pulling off the lot. I’m so appreciative and happy with my new “baby” and I definitely recommend working with Arvin and the CA Motors Direct team. Thank you guys for all your hard work!!

9/25/2023 Just purchased a fabulous 2020 Honda CRV Touring with Christopher and Angel. This dynamic duo took me from start to finish with my purchase and it was a breeze. There is a comfortable vibe at the whole dealership, not negating complete professionalism. Everyone is so kind and respectful. I highly recommend California Motors Direct in Santa Ana!

It’s rare that buying a used car is a stress relieving process, but man does this place run efficiently. I had the amazing help of Gorge Garcia (with some great assistance from David, Christian, Frank, Benjamin, and Chris) while looking for the right car. Gorge was able to show me my new car before it even hit the lot! He knew all about the car and was quick to point out anything he noticed wrong with it and was even quicker to fix it! As far as buying a car goes, I’m not sure it gets easier than California Motors Direct :) To CMD: I appreciate y’all so much!

MAX was perfect in every aspect of my purchase. Ricky worked with me, staying late past business hours, and was professionally, knowledgeable, and fast in the whole process. Both Ricky and Jesse, the manager, went the extra mile to ensure that I got the car I came to see when a.lot.of people were inquiring about it. Everything from start to finish was done fast and they made this happen. Thank you

I was in the market for a new car but was having a difficult time making decisions about which car to buy nor did I know the process of it. I stumbled upon a car I liked online and was lead to LA Auto Exchange where I met Raul. Raul was hands down the best salesman I could have ever asked for, he was patient and accommodating always thinking about how to make the process less confusing and very convenient for me. Raul helped make car buying a comfortable and fun experience, he helped me narrow down my decision on which car is for me and explained the process and steps to go about buying it thoroughly. He made the whole experience a breeze. Thank you Raul and LA auto exchange I will definitely recommend Raul and the dealership to friends and family who are in the market to buy a car.
