I had a great experience at California Motors Direct.
I had a great experience at California Motors Direct. Eddie was incredibly helpful and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I had my toddler son with me, and the team went above and beyond to make sure we were both comfortable during our visit. They were professional, patient, and very accommodating. I truly appreciated the excellent customer service and would definitely recommend California Motors Direct to anyone looking for a positive car-buying experience.
Long time owner.
Fantastic car!! Not a single issue but normal wear and tear. Bought new in 2012. Good build. You can't go wrong with this car. Buy one.

We were definitely nervous about going to a used car
We were definitely nervous about going to a used car dealership, but David was great. He was patient with us as we thoroughly inspected the van we eventually purchased, really fair with the price, efficient with the paperwork, and even surprised us by paying for the car's next year of registration. We've had the van for a few months now and have driven it on two road trips (600 and 2500 miles, respectively) with no problems!
Kia is romantic
I love to drive it. I was looking to purchase a nice used car to use it for my family, searched a lot but my friend propose the Kia 2021 Rio and now I like it too much.

The people were amazing to work with and helped us with
The people were amazing to work with and helped us with trading in as well as the auto start that I was wanting and they covered within the deal.
Drives smooth and rounds turns beautifully.
I liked the features of USB ports and aux. Really liked the feature of how many more miles to drive before needing fuel. Easy to see over dash and backing up.

My wife was looking for a replacement vehicle as hers was
My wife was looking for a replacement vehicle as hers was slowly falling apart. We found a car we liked, came in to the dealership an hour from closing. Jason and Jodi both when above and beyond staying late to help us get a more reliable vehicle. I worked in the customer service industry for over a decade and have never experienced better service than what they both provided. They were both amazing. Thank you Jason and Jodi for our new car!
