I enjoyed my experience here because I left with a key in my hand and a decent car! However I was here twice & both times they took long to do most things, also negotiating was a waste of time because their prices are fixed. Overall it’s a nice dealership with decent cars.

Luis our sale representative was attentive and made the purchase of our car a breeze. It was totally worth the drive from San Diego to save over 2K on the 2017 Honda Accord. Thank you California Motors Direct. I’ll be referring my friends and family to your car dealership.

Okay...so I came to this place thinking there is no way I'm going to be able to afford a car here because the cars are very well kept and they got the best brand of cars on their lot (gorgeous cars!) I mean they even had cars, I never heard of but nice!👌 and I almost gave up before saying to myself "you know... 🤔Sometimes you have to jump over a sidewalk to land on grass and see the Greener side! and so I got on my phone, called before completely leaving the vicinity and asked to speak with a higher level of authority and i let this person know how I really wanted this car and if there was anything he could do for me to help me make this happen? Make a vehicle that I've always admired finally mine! (A MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE!) and with the warmest voice he said "SANDRA I BELIEVE WE CAN DO THAT FOR YOU!" "WE DO OUR BEST TO TRY AND MAKE ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAPPY AND LEAVE WITH WHAT THEY CAME LOOKING FOR, THAT IS OUR GOAL!" with that being said I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU , THANK YOU GUS!!! For making me the happiest person on your car lot on Saturday, I'm so grateful to you. I would also like to address the Company: "California Motors Direct" To say:: Make no mistake when I say how happy and excited I was when GUS stepped in and stepped up to accommodate me in accomplishing a car I always wanted!😁

5 stars for the service of Angel, who was patient, honest and forthright in our evaluation of a Chevy Bolt for sale on their lot. He could not have conducted himself more professionally, and been more helpful and courteous. I wish I could say the same for others with whom I spoke at the Dealership, but finding one gem there was a pleasure!

The staff was very friendly and wonderful to work with. There was no pressure to buy and I feel that we received a great deal on the vehicle we purchased.

First experience with CMD and it was smooth and quick; Matt was cool and calm and no pressure. I had found the car online that I was interested in the night before and came by after work to check it out and everything was a good fit. I would come here again and refer others to check them out.

Quick. Low price. Reliable vehicle. Great customer service. Timely sale. Generous staff. Facility: clean, smells good, safe for kids, not a lot of parking Cars: large variety, good prices Service: excellent customer service, greeted immediately, above and beyond, quick process, cares about customers, helpful, answers all questions, good explanation of fees and loans, educated on common car issues and terms. Smooth and quick process. Anything else: Bart was my car dealer. He went above and beyond for me. This man worked with my schedule, worked in a timely manner, was empathetic to my situation, and helpful. I was having a really bad day and he made it so much better. He really cares about his clients. His salesmanship and customer service was refreshing. He was earnest, truthful, and he had my back through the entire sale. He even picked me up when I had to drop off my rental car. I recommend him purely because he demonstrated that he wanted what was best for me, the client. I was really scared about money and helped get me the best car for my situation. Bart is 11/10.
