This was my first time buying a car through a dealership and Josh gave me a great experience that was really insightful on the process of buying, dealing, and maintaining a car. David also was a great help the both of them are straight forward which allowed me to understand what I was getting and a good deal on what I wanted. Josh was really patient and that always a pleasure when doing business. Would recommend to first time buyers and people looking for an easygoing experience.

Very professional, honest and allowed me to buy what I wanted and not talk me into buying something just to make a sale. I would recommend anyone I know or who is reading this to give him a chance before you talk to anyone else there you won’t regret it. If I had a dealership I would be proud to say he works for me 💯

Great Service and Deal. I was greeted by one of the representatives named Kevin as soon as I entered the dealership lot. The conversation went smoothly; we understood each other well, and finally, the deal was made with a great trade-in. In my case, I had to wait for 2 weeks for the vehicle preparation, so I had to call several times to get updates. However, I am still leaving 5 stars because all the representatives I talked to were generous, and Kevin handled it well, remaining calm throughout. I am satisfied with the service, integrity, honesty, and price. This dealership is definitely worth checking out and recommended.

Shout out to Julio for being an awesome salesman⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. He's straight to the mudafkn business. Pick the car u like, run the numbers, and pull the trigger. Only thing about the dealer i disliked was the $1999 fee they charge u in case ur car gets "stolen". This insurance pays u 5k, if stolen, but in reality its only 3k since ur paying 2k for it. I was told finance the vehicle or pay it cash the fee is mandatory which i believe should be up to the buyer to decide not the dealer.

Alex was very friendly and communicative about the vehicle, especially about some doubts I had on the car. He was able to get me a good deal wih his manager regarding all the cosmetic issues I was worried about! In the other hand, Anthony did all of our paperwork. He was a very polite and a friendly gentleman. He was professional but yet made us feel like we were close friends. Y'all deserve a big raise! Thank you

I live in Las Vegas, however, was disgusted with the used car market and decided to go to S California. I visited at least seven dealerships. Glad my research led me to California motors direct where I met my salesman, Gabriel O. Immediately he presented himself in the most stylish and professional way! He was immediately very much service oriented, in addressing my exact needs in a very customer oriented way. I have been in high-end sales myself for more than 25 years and I commend him on his approach in being low pressure but direct and customer centric. He was honest and straightforward while answering all of my questions. I appreciated his level of transparency while providing me the upmost in service and expertise. He went above and beyond to help me maximize my short time here to find the perfect car, while here on business. I would highly recommend him to provide you with the same exceptional service when looking for a used car in Southern California! Don’t hesitate to ask for Gabriel O.

Steven L is a clever, sharp and honest young man. He is a direct and courteous car salesman and he helped me out very well. When he didn't know the answer to my question he would ask others or look for the answer instead of bullshitting. This dealership may have lucked out in getting someone like him.

Besides that, dealership is BUSY. But being busy is a sign of a successful business and you can't be successful by selling crappy cars. They have mechanics, detail shops, electric car charger. A one stop shop.

Don't be timid in asking for a test drive, if the other salesman are half as decent as Steve was with me, they won't be pushy.
