Frank gave exceptional customer service! Fast, friendly and very knowledgeable! I anticipated the experience to be stressful and my experience was totally the opposite! Highly recommend!! Go see Frank.

I had an awesome experience today at California motor trade with Miguel Barajas. He helped me find the car I wanted and processed the paperwork quick and easy. He was super patient and very kind I had no issues at all. This was the smoothest car purchase I’ve had. I highly recommend this place and sales rep 👍🏽

Incredible staff, excellent cars, and overall great environment. George was knowledgeable and speedy when I came to answer any questions I had. Austin explained all the policies clearly and genuinely. Manger and financial officer were friendly and nice to work with. Will be referring all friends and family here!

I would highly recommend everybody to here and Tristan Almero is amazing salesman he helped me out with finance and also communicated with my bank. Thank you so much Tristan Almero for helping me with my buying a vehicle

I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle!

George was great. I came to see someone else who had already gone for the day, and he jumped right in to help me. I made my purchase and everything went smoothly!

Christian was great! He was down to earth and helped us get into the car we wanted.

Christian Hernandez truly went above and beyond when it came to car purchase will definitely be recommending to my family and friends!

Me and my family came by to look at a car but it ended up not being available. Carlos showed us some similar options and we ended up taking a Honda Civic home! We’re loving it so far. Thanks Carlos!

Me and my aunt came down to check out some electric cars and ended up leaving with a 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5! Couldn’t be happier with it. Big thanks to Carlos for helping us out!

I had an awesome experience! Alex is really attentive and was really patient with me regarding vehicle selection. He broke down the payments and everything else perfectly. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Alex was amazing! Very welcoming, easy to talk to, and made sure I was taken care of. Great experience!

Alex was super helpful and made everything easy. Great customer service and a really good experience overall!

Alex was awesome to work with. I came in not really knowing exactly what I wanted and he was patient with me the whole time. He showed me a few different options and actually listened to what I was looking for instead of just trying to sell me something. Really chill guy and made the experience a lot easier.

Johnny helped me get my new car. This is the 3rd car I’ve purchased from CMT and he’s the only one I trust to help me. He worked the down payment to make it lower and got my monthly payment as low as he could. Definitely recommend Johnny! 🫶🏻

Me and my girlfriend came in with low expectations just looking for something cheap. Carlos ended up getting us into a 2024 Ford Edge with low miles way better than we expected. Couldn’t be happier with it!

Alex was super informative and knowledgeable about automobiles. He happily answered all of my questions and together we put some careful thought into what would be best for myself and my needs.

I worked with a representative named Alex. He was very friendly and eager to help me through the process of successfully buying a car that best fit my needs.

Alex is the best he walked us through every step of the process in a timely manner. If it wasn’t for him we would have went elsewhere thank you Alex

Great experience from start to finish. Alex took care of me and made everything quick and simple. He was easy to talk to, explained everything clearly, and I never felt like I was being pushed into a deal. I’m really happy with how everything turned out. Appreciate you Alex!
