Went here on a chance to find a car for my son for his graduation. Esteban helped us around the lot and found a car on their website. We were able to get the car delivered to the dealership test drive it and get all the paper work done. Great service.

Jose Ybara You earned this review. It cost nothing to be a genuine person. This was not a sales pitch. Not once did we feel the pressure of a sales tactic trying to rope us in. He was honest about everything and informative. Our experience could not have gone better. If all your salesmen are as good as Jose you will have a very successful business. Thank you for such a genuine interaction!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing experience with California Motors Direct. I spent the entire day going back and forth with their team working out the deal on my Palisade Calligraphy, and from start to finish they were attentive, patient, transparent, and professional. I was very upfront about my situation and made it clear I was driving a long distance, and unlike other dealerships, they respected my time and had everything ready when I arrived. No games, no surprises, no pressure — just great customer service and people who genuinely worked hard to make the deal happen. The whole process went smoothly and I drove home in my new Palisade with zero issues. Huge thank you to the team at California Motors Direct for making this such a positive experience. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a dealership that actually treats customers right. Big shout out to Daniel C for taking care of us
