I had an amazing experience purchasing my car, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Adan Rodriguez was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and made everything smooth from start to finish. He took the time to answer all of my questions, never made me feel pressured, and genuinely cared about helping me find the right car. The entire dealership made the buying experience easy and stress-free, and I truly appreciate the outstanding customer service. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, I highly recommend asking for Adan Rodriguez. Thank you for making this such a great experience!

California motors direct was an amazing experience, my credit wasn't so great and Zach R. got me into the car I wanted! Exceptional customer service and highly recommend coming here

Came in for an appointment at 6pm was told to sit and wait since it was pretty busy when I came. I was unfortunately forgotten about for an hour until I went up to Jessie and asked him for help. Jessie was chill and professional and walked me through everything and was very patient with me stepping away to hop on phone calls since it was my first time buying. Minus the unnecessary wait in the beginning I thought the whole purchase process went very smooth thanks to Jessie.

Had a great experience with Gorge. Very upfront and and honest made it an easy and with no pressure added.

George helped me out. Was honest and upfront about vechicle conditions. Everything was communicated clearly and processed quickly.

Had a great experience working with Ian. i was super nervous going into all the signing stuff He got all the paperwork ready for me and explained it to me thanks to his patience, it made me feel a lot better about everything. Love my new tesla❤️

I didn’t just buy a Tesla Model Y… I was guided through a spiritual, borderline cinematic experience by a man named Gorge. From the moment I walked in, Gorge appeared like he had been waiting for this exact moment his entire life. I’m convinced he sensed my arrival before I even opened the door. Eye contact was made. Time slowed. Somewhere in the distance, I swear I heard a bald eagle. This man didn’t “sell” me a car he orchestrated a masterclass in automotive destiny. At one point, I’m pretty sure he knew more about my needs than I did. I went in thinking, “Maybe I’ll browse,” and left thinking, “I would follow Gorge into battle.” When it came time to explain the Tesla, Gorge didn’t just go over features he spoke with the passion of a poet and the precision of a NASA engineer. Autopilot? Delivered like it was a gift from the future. Range? Explained like he personally charged the sun. At one point, I’m fairly certain the car itself started cooperating more just because Gorge was nearby. The touchscreen felt smoother. The doors closed with more confidence. I wouldn’t be shocked if the battery life improved out of respect. Paperwork? Seamless. Effortless. I blinked and it was done. I’m not saying he bent time… but I’m not not saying that either. Gorge didn’t just earn a sale, he earned a lifelong fan, a questionable level of admiration, and hopefully a promotion. If he’s not running the place by next week, upper management needs to seriously reevaluate their life choices. If you’re thinking about buying a Tesla or any other vehicle do yourself a favor, find Gorge. If he’s busy, wait. If he’s off that day, come back tomorrow. Do not deprive yourself of this experience. 10/10. Would buy another car just to hang out with Gorge again.

This is Maria Vasquez, Gorge help my son get his dream car. He was patient and helpful in all our questions.

Gorge gave me the best service. Such a good salesman and he was able to get me into my dream car. Definitely recommend him for all your car buying needs.

I had a great experience buying my Tesla from George. He truly went above and beyond to make the whole process smooth, easy, and stress-free. He was patient, honest, and took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. George made sure I understood everything and helped me find the best option for my needs. His professionalism and excellent customer service made this one of the best car-buying experiences I’ve had. I highly recommend working with George if you’re looking to buy a Tesla!

Awesome service with Ed 👍

I had a smooth and professional experience trading in my car and purchasing another at this dealership. Gorge Garcia was straightforward, knowledgeable, and respectful throughout the entire process. He made sure everything moved efficiently and kept communication clear from start to finish. Kefah Kadour runs a well-organized operation, and it shows in how the transaction was handled in a fair, transparent, and hassle-free manner. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a reliable and honest trade-in and purchase process
