I came here looking for a car on a specific budget, and upon arriving I was greeting with a bright smile and a firm handshake by a gentle named Moe. After a short conversation explaining the type of car I was looking for and my budget Moe was very quick to show me multiple cars and was happy to answer all my questions, and I felt as he truly cared about what I was looking for and he checked all the boxes for me as a sales men. We ended up finding a car that I liked and after asking for a test drive he somehow already had the key in his hand ready for me to take it on a spin. After return and talking prices we were able to meet at price that was in budget for me. I really appreciate Moe and all the effort and professionalism he displayed during my time there. To anyone going to this location I would definitely recommend speaking to Moe because he does an amazing job and goes above and beyond.

I was helping my sister look for a car. At first she couldn’t get approved and we thought the deal was dead. Carlos followed up with us and ended up getting her into a newer Chevy Equinox than we expected. Appreciate the help and would recommend him!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience working with Frank at California Motors Direct. From the first conversation, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. What I appreciated most was that Frank never made me feel pressured. He took the time to answer all of my questions, provided the information I needed, and was patient while I compared vehicles and worked through financing and timing on my end. His communication was excellent, and he was always quick to respond and keep me updated. Buying a car can sometimes be stressful, but Frank made the experience straightforward and enjoyable. If you’re shopping for a vehicle at California Motors Direct, I highly recommend asking for Frank. He provided outstanding customer service and made me feel like a valued customer from start to finish. Thank you, Frank, for all your help!

This is my second time buying from this dealership, and I have yet to have a bad experience! Carlos was my sales rep, and he was very helpful and accommodating. The car was ready and waiting for me when I arrived, we took about a 15 minute test drive, both my husband and I were permitted to drive the vehicle. Carlos answered all questions and was able to get us a great deal on the car! Thanks, guys! Until next time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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
