I recently purchased a vehicle from California Motor Direct, and I had the pleasure of working with ******* throughout the entire process. From start to finish, ******* went above and beyond to ensure I had a smooth, stress-free experience. He was incredibly detail-oriented, patient with all of my questions, and if there was ever anything he wasnt sure about, he made sure to get the correct answer right awaynever leaving me guessing.Even on a very busy day with no runners available, ******* personally made sure my car had gas and handled everything himself without hesitation. His dedication to customer service really stood outhe genuinely made sure I was taken care of in every way possible and worked hard to get me the best deal available.*****, the General Manager, was also professional and helpful, but ******* definitely did the heavy lifting. I truly appreciate the level of care and effort he put into making this such a positive experience. I walked in happy and left just as happy, with no issues or concerns whatsoever.Highly recommend working with ******* if youre planning to visit California Motor Direct!

First off I'm a return customer. I noticed this dealership had a lot of nice cars online so I decided to come in. I thought it would be a hassle since I had to bring my small son, but Daniel made the process very smooth. All my questions were answered honestly, and I can overall say I just felt comfortable knowing the goal was for me to leave in a safe, reliable car for my kids and I. I would recommend CA Motors Direct to anybody, and I'll definitely be back for my next purchase. I left w my dignity and a beautiful car.

Carlos was great! He made sure to show us cars in our price range and even got our monthly payments down to where we felt comfortable. I also really appreciated that he had puzzles and games at his desk to keep us entertained while we waited, because as you know the process of buying a vehicle can be very long. That in my opinion is definitely going above and beyond for your customers. I highly recommend this place and ask for Carlos

I came later in the day to look at a Toyota Camry. Kevin greeted us and was very friendly. He did not put too much pressure and had a pleasant attitude the whole time. I never felt pressured to hurry up. He was willing to work with me on the price to meet me where I wanted to be. Overall the experience was great and I really appreciated the help Kevin was able to give me.
