Anthony was very helpful and easy to work with. The experience was pretty good. The people there will work with you. All the information is there for you to make a good decision. Not overly pushy. I would buy from here again. Assuming the car is what I bought. Will update if not.

Customer service was top-tier! Gorge Had great vibes from the time that I walked in the building. I damn near wanted to buy two cars. He was so good at his job. Super professional went out of his way to do a couple of small things. Type of customer service you don’t find anywhere anymore. He’s great!!

So far i've gotten 2 cars from here. Got both through Ed at a good rate w/ a good monthly payment. He's very thorough with the process, doesn't add any extra unwanted fees, & doesn't try to scam you! 10/10 experience, Ed went the extra mile with customer service for me. Highly appreciated & highly recommend, especially for first time buyers.

From the moment I stepped out of my car, Anthony was right there to greet me and immediately asked which vehicle I was interested in no time wasted, just straight to business. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and worked hard to get me the absolute best out-the-door price. The entire team at California Motor Direct was welcoming and easy to talk to. The vibes were great, and everyone genuinely put in the effort to make the numbers work. I really appreciated how transparent and dedicated they were throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

George was great to work with. We told him which car we wanted to see. He brought it out and we test drove it. Really liked the car told him we wanted to take it and had our own financing. At no point during our process did George pressure us. He didn’t try to upsell us on anything. He explained everything in terms we understood. Made us feel comfortable and relaxed. If you go into the California Motors Direct in Santa Ana ask for George and you’ll leave with the car you want knowing you were treated great!!!
