Joey was fantastic and got me into a bmw 430i m sport with red interior. Although the tank wasn’t full or car was not detailed. Overall experience was great.

I was first helped by Arturo and he scheduled an appointment, after that Josh helped guide me through the whole process, and was extremely patient and attentive. If you ever decide you come here please ask for Josh you won’t regret it.

Joey helped me out when I was looking for a new vehicle. I had budget in mind and he was able to show me plenty of cars within my price range. He’s a very knowledgeable guy and I appreciate all his help! Definitely will be going back to him for future purchases.

I recently came into California Motors Direct and looked at some Honda Accords. I’m a very particular person when it comes to the exact year and trim that I want and I was blown away with how knowledgeable and helpful Joey was. You can tell he knew what he was talking about and wasn’t just saying what I wanted to hear. He’s a very helpful young man and I recommend anyone who goes there to ask for him!

I came to California Motors Direct to check out a few cars I had been looking at online. I made an appointment with Joey who helped me test drive and take a look at financing. I was considering buying a Range Rover Evoque which he helped me through my decision making. I found that Joey was both extremely knowledgeable and honest about every aspect of car buying. Although I did not end up purchasing a vehicle here I would recommend this dealership to anyone who’s interested in buying a used car. Joey was extremely thoughtful and thorough with everything I needed throughout my car buying experience.

Joey was great! Answered all my questions and helped me get into the car that was just right for me. Even helped and gave advice when it came to financing options. I’ll definitely be recommending to anyone looking for a car without all the “dealership headache”.

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. 😊

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!

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.

I came in just expecting to look at a few cars, but Josh helped me to find my dream car with an amazing rate and a high quality car. I have had my new car that he sold to me for a few days now and I could not be happier. Josh made sure that I was taken care of and got my needs met right away. If you go here, as for Josh!

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. Adan Rodriguez definitely deserves a promotion. Thanks to him, I am leaving here happily with my new car. Thank you so much for your interest and great customer service Adan. You are the man!!
