Andrew was amazing! I can to the dealership with the intention of negotiating and haggling down the price but I did not have to do that. Andrew kept everything 100 and I was able to buy the car at a great price! I will definitely be a returning customer in the future!

Very good service and they take very good care of all your questions and concerns. Justin helped us out a lot and was very enjoyable to do business with.

I had a great experience here at CMD of Santa Ana! The process was smooth and my salesman was awesome, he took the time to actually work with me and didn’t loose hope like the rest of the dealers I visited while car shopping. Steven was very helpful and was willing to help me drive one of my dream cars home last week! Shoutout to Steven! Also want to give a shoutout to Maryland who assisted me with no hesitation and hassle free when I noticed a small issue on the vehicle and got it taken care of the same day I mentioned it to her! I’ll be sure to recommend friends and family to CMD of Santa Ana!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joshua at California Motors Direct to purchase a 2022 Kia K5, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.

He was incredibly knowledgeable about the Kia K5, taking the time to explain all the features and options available. His expertise helped me make an informed decision without any pressure or rush. What stood out the most was Joshua's attention to detail and commitment to finding the right car for me. He patiently answered all my questions and went above and beyond to ensure that the car met all my needs and preferences. His friendly and approachable demeanor made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking to buy a car. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his customers make him a standout salesman. Thank you, Joshua, for helping me find the perfect 2022 Kia K5!

Personally I want to thank Anthony Fernández for making my vehicle purchase a fun experience. Really good customer service and very attentive to all my questions.

Jr was very helpful throughout the process and very friendly!

Had an amazing experience with Angel and David at California Motors Direct. The car we came to see wasn't on the lot and they went above and beyond to get it in. Angel was so friendly and such a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be back when it is time to get another car. It took us over two hours to get there in traffic. But he made it all worth it. My son is one happy person and went home with the car he wanted!

Wonderful experience!

Purchased a vehicle at CMD. Junior was great to work with, very friendly and competent. Christian made sure the financing went smoothly. 👍🏼

Raul Amaya was amazing! He made everything easy and clear, will definitely be recommending this place and him to any future buyers i know !

Anthony was my salesman. He was very upfront and helpful with the purchase. This was probably the fastest that I was in and out in buying a car, great experience

Fantastic experience at California Motors Direct. The car I had in mind was unavailable but Frank, Joshua and Christian worked together to find a more than suitable alternative. What a find! I am super pleased with my 2011 Lexus RX 450h with 60k miles and in immaculate condition. The team honored my requests for cosmetic corrections and prepared the vehicle within 24 hours. Even after purchase and the initial drive, I discovered two minor issues which Frank acknowledged that CDM would correct without additional expense. Easy to work with, CMD is my dealership of choice for referrals and next purchase.

Andrew Hidalgo was incredible! Made the experience low stress, smooth and fair. Got the car I wanted, and the minor issues (windshield crack, new battery) were fixed up! Excited for my new ride, and I would suggest to anyone to come check out California Motors Direct and ask for Andrew!

Darrell was a great help! made it a smooth experience. Since the very beginning, he was the one to help with everything we needed! if in the future we decide to buy a car again it will definitely be here and with Darrell!

Just came in for the 4th of July and Joshua was incredibly helpful! He made by experience of being a first time buyer so easy!

Had a great experience. Raul was very helpful with everything I needed and very patient.

Raul Amaya was a stand up car salesman who went above and beyond to get me the best deal possible with what little credit I had to my name. He was honest, straightforward, and made sure I was well informed throughout the whole process. Highly recommend working with him specifically, but the whole team at CMD were all great people. Fantastic experience overall.
