Josh was fantastic! I appreciated his friendly, upfront, no-pressure approach. He made the process of buying a car so much easier.

I had a pleasant experience securing my ford fusion, I am really liking the car and I appreciate how fast the process was. Joey from the Santa Ana location was very communicative, prompt, and ensured I secured the car that same morning.

Highly recommend working with Jesse at the OC location. I live in Moreno Valley and drove an hour to be sure I felt with him. I could have gone to the Montclair location, however Andrew was unpleasant and too busy apparently to let me know I was approved for over three hours. Jesse is fast, honest and reliable. And for sure with the drive. 😊

Erin JonesMar 29, 2025

Juan TorresMar 29, 2025

Johnny, Austin, and Justin helped me out and seal the deal on a great car! Very thankful for them.

OrbedzMar 29, 2025

I was so nervous to come by myself as a girl who knows nothing about cars--**Gorge Garcia**-my salesman and **Kifah**-the GM-totally turned the day around and found me the perfect car! They provided outstanding, professional service and went far beyond the extra mile, I couldn't be more grateful! They found me a trusty reliable car so I don't expect to be buying another anytime soon but I will be sending all my friends and family there and will be back when the time comes! Ask for Gorge!!! Thank you CMD Santa Ana!

Whitney Keilani HayMar 29, 2025

Great experience all around! Darrell took care of me & got me the best deal! Highly recommend coming here and asking for Darrell, he will take good care of you!

Steven CarrilloMar 28, 2025

I absolutely appreciate “Darrell Little” and 100% recommend working with him when financing a car the honesty, loyalty, and effort that he puts in for his customers is not what i expected from a dealership sales man after buying my vehicle he's made me feel comfortable with coming forth with any issues and concerns about my purchase by taking action first hand and resolving everything as if I had not yet bought the car I will definitely be retuning to this establishment due to the experience i had when buying a car with Darrell I've worked with other people at this site to try purchase a car and it didn’t feel organic it felt like they were trying to just get there sales and get me out the door with a monthly, the loyalty, honesty, and care for the costumer just wasn’t there but with “Darrell Little” it was that and much more I really appreciate everything with my purchase and I can’t wait to purchase again with Darrell in the future.

Adan Rodriguez provided us with an excellent customer service, before every time I bought a car I would leave the place I bought it in a suspicious way, but for the first time I am leaving the place where I bought the car happily with peace of mind.
