GoogleGoogleI Thank God, I found this place, I’ve never purchased a car, and my credit is bad. I recently had a car accident and my car was totaled, I’m a single parent and I’ve been struggling, so I read a review online about this place helping someone in a tight situation, so I gave them a call and came in the next day, I met PETER🤩 and he was amazing, very nice and super helpful, answered all my questions, explained everything in detail, got a very comfortable and trustworthy vibe from him. I definitely recommend having him help you. I was able to purchase my car worry free. Very satisfied with their service. Very Grateful.
GoogleI want to say what exceptional Job Raul, and David displayed today. Buying a car has never been so easy, they were very patient and informative. Never once was I rushed into buying a particular car, they let me take my time and choice. I’m very pleased with the service and recommend any potential car buyers to contact California Motors Direct!

GoogleNice place with good people around, Anthony helped today
GoogleWhen I went there first, Jessie helped to find a car. He never pushed me to buy and even waited that I go to other dealerships. He was very fine and honest. He kept contact me. Finally I could do a good deal.
GoogleHad an amazing experience with the salesman Andrew, he took the time to make sure I was happy with buying the right car for me as a first time auto buyer and helping me get properly financed. If you want a dealership with a wide variety of car selection, this is the place to go.
GoogleHad a great experience with Sales Rep Anthony F. who was an expert on Teslas.
GoogleI've never been or even heard of this place, but I'm glad I cams to check it out. At first I responded on the site because I was interested in the 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander. When I got there, I was introduced to Gabriel. We sat down and went over the car & all of that. The car wasnt ready to be seen yet because it was on a safety check. As I'm sitting with Gabriel, he was already working on the paperwork, I didn't know that he was already putting everything together. I asked him about 3x to see the car, AFTER the papers was finalized & 6hrs later I was able to see it. It was nice at first, and I was excited to get rid of my 2014 Nissan Rogue. When I drove it the next day, I noticed alot about the car I didn't like. For instance, I couldn't connect all of my phone to the car. Only incoming calls. There was no GPS, and it kept reading "no file transfers" the car Beeps ALL THE TIME when you step away while car is running and it looks you out even with the keys in your hand it still would not open. Everything is Manual, and there is absolutely NO CARGO SPACE. I could literally touch my son's face from driver seat to the back. I wasn't happy at all. After 5 days with this car, I reached out to Gabriel to try to turn it in for a better car. This is when he made my day. I was shown 2 options (looking at the website first before returning so i can be ready). This time, we did it right, he had me test drive and really look at all aspects and features of the vehicle before doing paperwork, (which should've happened in the first place). So I'm happy to say I came home after another 6hrs there :/ with a 2019 Chevy Equinox, perfect MOM CAR. I love it! Thanks Gabriel, you were patient and really helped me. I recommend this place if anyone needs a trade in or a new car, great pricing and lots of options! Look at the site first before going!!
GoogleAndrew is the go to guy!
GoogleAnthony was amazing he was quick and got me taken care of. I got a 2020 Lexus ux 200 They were really quick and Anthony and Ben were able to get me an even lower Apr rate with capital one at 9%. Customer service was amazing will come here
GoogleGreat experience! Easy to work with!
GoogleIf there were more stars I would give them all of them! I had the pleasure of helping my son by a car today, and we were assisted by Andrew and his manager David. They were kind, courteous, and direct. This was the best experience I’ve ever had buying a vehicle. Highly recommend California Motors Direct!
GoogleJustin Flores has excellent service very helpful and experienced, did above and the beyond for me and provide all my options and was willing to help as much as he could.
GoogleExcellent service, very satisfied with my purchase thanks, Justin!
GoogleBuying a car can be extremely stressful, however, the CMD team made the process quick and easy. Ben was very transparent with their price and fees, and helped me secure a car at the beat possible price within my budget. They didn’t pressure me into any added on features or warranties, which I highly appreciated. Andrew was my salesman and he was very nice and patient. He was very thorough about the whole process.
GoogleBrayan provided exceptional, transparent and speedy service. This was the best car buying experience I’ve ever had. There was no pressure and Brayan was very accommodating and the upfront prequalifing was done online and saved time. He came in on his day off! His manager Ben was also very accommodating. I highly recommend!
GoogleAndrew and Ben were super helpful trying to approve an offer for a vehicle. Overall it was an easy experience and quick. Great service from both of them. Highly recommend purchasing here.
GoogleVery quick and helpful and easy
GoogleToday we walked into dealership with zero idea of what we will be purchasing. Eric came out to greet us and asking if we had any questions, which at first told him we were just looking. Once we were ready for more information about a car we liked, he came out to help. We test drove the car and answered concerns we had on the vehicle. He seem very honest and knowledgeable. Gave us options of how to run our credit and the impact with the APR. David also took care of concerns we had before/after running my credit. He was very straight forward and answered questions we had. Great team they were! Eric also helped with minor concerns we had on the car. Gave us his word on fixing it on a timely manner and including it on the contract. The whole experience was swift as noone looks forward to spending whole day at a dealership. Great experience and felt very welcomed. Thank you Eric and David!
GoogleJamal helped us out today. Great guy, his manager David helped us out as well. Great deals on the car, definitely recommend to come here! Ask for Jamal he is the best!!!
