Typical tactics that hurt this industry. I have been in the industry 25 years and these type of unprofessional tactics whether intentional or not is what hurts the car business. I literally called before driving all the way from South Orange County to see a car that the salesman said was there. After arriving, sure enough the car was not there. Drove well over an hour to get here just to be given a story about why the car isn't there. Really disappointed. There is no respect for one's time at this business. I would strongly recommend think twice before investing time and or money here. read more

I bought my 2008 Corvette from California Car Company. The deal was very straightforward and honest. If you are looking for a car with some personality they always have a good selection. read more

5 stars for excellence customers services. I bought a 2020 CLA 45S AMG, these guys where very patient with me specially when I told them that I have a very difficult scheduling and I was driving from 2 hours away. It gets better, I was coming for 1 car and bought 2 cars in one day, a beauty 2018 GLS 550. I definitely recommend these guys. So a BIG THANK YOU! To Devin and his team for helping us out. read more

Can't recommend them enough!!! We came in to pickup a car my husband loved and I ended up trading in my car for another while I was there. We walked out with 2 Mercedes benz. What won me over was that they were the absolute nicest people, zero pressure at all, and you can really tell they take great pride in the cars they choose to sell. Every car was clean and in beautiful condition. We had gone to multiple dealers and seen cars that had clearly not been cared for. The cars here were prestine. The process was fast, they got us both a great rate, valued my trade in quick and overall it was just an absolute wonderful experience. Will continue to come here for future purchases. read more

Bought a car here and it didn't even make it home without the check engine light coming on. I was in and out of the mechanic shop and ended up spending 5 thousand on needed service. When I brought it up to California Cars they said "well, you already bought the car and you can't come back to us after time has passed." Crazy to hear that after just 1 day of having the car. California cars was nice enough to reimburse me 1,000. What a joke. They sold me a bad car and graciously gave me that. I was surprised with the low ball amount, given that they had to know the car wasn't right. Even after the 5k in service, the car still had other issues. So I ended up trading it in and incurring negative equity unnecessarily. I always heard it was a bad idea to buy from used luxury dealers like this that provide no warranty, but now I know. Never again. read more

I was in the market for a used 2019 to 2020 Mustang GT. I came across one on their lot that caught my eyes. The color, the mileage, the year and the spec are just what I was looking for. I started the process with submitting an online application and was contacted by a gentleman named Devin the following day via Text. But I did not go into the dealership almost 3 weeks later. During the time, Devin was very consistent on his follow up, but not pushy. He answered all my questions and addressed all concerns. I stopped by the dealership to look at the vehicle. The dealership is a small, local, family owned business. Their selections aren't many like your Corporate Dealerships but I appreciate their upfront, no pushy approach. He was able to lock me in a fair deal; provided me with a fair quote on my trade in and it was pretty pleasant experience compared to my other dealership visits. What really set them (Devin & Ryan) apart comparing to other dealerships is that they follow through on any issues you may experience with the vehicle you bought. I had some issues on mine and they were able to accommodate. I was very grateful for such gesture. I highly recommend them. read more

Everything was so easy when we went to get our car. The specific vehicle we called about was there for us to look at, no pressure to buy anything that costs more. Nathan was courteous, professional, and quick! This was the easiest car transaction that we have ever had. We would 100% come back and recommend this company and Nathan to anyone looking. read more

Ryan had reached out to me in regards to the situation that had happened over the weekend. He explained to me that the miscommunication was caused by a system glitch. He sincerely apologized and promised to fix the situation by reimbursing us for our gas. I appreciate that he took his time to reach out to me and explained the situation. I will probably give this company another chance in the future. read more

The first thing I noticed pulling into the dealership was how clean and well cared for all of the cars on the lot were. I had been communicating with Devin and he was very honest and straightforward. During the test drive, we noticed a small rattle coming from somewhere under the car. He got the car fixed within a couple days as promised and went the extra mile to get the car back to me as quickly and easily as possible. The price was fair and not having to haggle due to a bunch of dealer add-ons and markups was very refreshing. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a fair, no-nonsense dealer. read more

We are buying our SLK Mercedes in the morning!! Devin helped us with a straight forward print out of the costs. They had lowered the price for Memorial Day and he gave us that price. The cars in the lot are amazing from the broad selections of cars to the level of pride they show by keeping them all shining and clean. What a collection of cars, convertibles. No pressure and lots of flexibility. They are proud of their branding, as every car has their logo. read more

This company has what many others are lacking Integrity. Purchased a 2007 Porsche 911, after getting it home it had a few items that were not working properly. After calling Ryan he quickly took care of these items even though car was sold as is with no implied warranty. Not many car companies would have done what Ryan did. Can't say anything but good things about this company, they are a family owned company that truly cares about its customers. Thanks Ryan for have great customer service and most of all Integrity. read more

Purchased a car. All of their cars are in mint condition. Devin was very helpful. No hidden fees.

Been looking for a car for a few months and found this place. Devin helped us and was a great help and did not pressure. After signing the deal they gassed up the tank, shined up the car, and were very helpful with our purchase. Had the car almost a month now and will definitely recommend California Car Company in Brea and Devin. This place is very clean with nice people and I will go back again. read more

HONESTY GOES A LONG WAY We've been to a few dealerships looking for a truck and once we found these guys here at California Car in Brea we could see what a world of a difference in customer service they offered. They're HONEST and treat you like a FRIEND trying to find the best deal for you! The other dealerships would lie and not look you in the eyes lol but Jeremy and Ryan were straight forward on what they could and couldn't do. We appreciated that. Thanks for helping us pick out our truck we LOVE IT! Test driving it sealed the deal for us. Some cool tips Jeremy gave us when looking for a used car: 1. Check the engine 2. Check for cigarette burns inside which will show how precious owners took care of it 3. Check bottom of the car we will recommend this dealership to all of our friends. Thanks again guys! read more

I buy a new used car every couple of years. I bought my 2019 Corvette from California car company a few months ago. They were very upfront with what they could do for me and with what I was getting. The car was in excellent condition with no surprises, I did have to get a second key made, but the price was adjusted for that. Not all of the cars they have in their lot are from auctions. They took my Corvette in as trade and one of the cleanest around, so whoever buys that one is getting a true pride of ownership bargain. It's a family owned company that has a good feel to deal with and I plan on buying my next Corvette from them as well. Highly recommend. read more

Went to this dealership yesterday and worked with Devin. I had no appointment and just walked in first thing in the morning. He looked very busy but still managed to help me out on check out an m3 they had on the lot. I very much enjoyed the straight forward-ness of Devin and basically worked with what I got. Told me exactly what I needed to get the car and was able to work with me. Very black and white, something that makes car buying much much easier and it's appreciated. Not the first car that I've bought, and been to plenty of dealerships. This one by far is one of the top rated, along with a very knowledgable and top rated seller like Devin. Thanks for making it work with my new m3 Devin! This thing is tits! read more

Everyone in there is great, but Nathan was amazing he was patient and helped us walk out with a car.

So i was working with a good friend that didn't live in LA to find a particular "enthusiasts" sports car and we found one California Car Company in Brea. Some calls, some emails...I went to see the car to drive it and do PPI for my buddy and it was a clean car. I dealt with Ryan. Very nice guy, upfront about the history and their pricing, and he was easy to communicate with. Not pushy. No "car salesman" tactics and he knew that I knew way more about the car than he did so he wasn't trying to bs his way to a sale like some people do. Anyway the car checked out. My buddy took the train up to make a deal and it went quickly and he got the car he was looking for. Easy peasy. Honestly the shop there is great. Niche luxury and sports cars, and a lot of clean vehicles. Overall it looks like they go after the low miles, better equipped, and clean history cars (because those are the ones car people pay top dollar for). I'm gonna keep Ryan on my radar for some future toy cars for me. Good experience here. read more

Today was my first time buying a car without the need of a co-signer present. First time buying a car alone period, actually. Ryan, was really fast with communication and keeping me updating since I first inquired about the car I was interested in (for 7 years) via email and text. As soon as I arrived, I was welcomed with a very cool, laid back yet professional vibe. Really cool dude. Not once during the process did I feel pressured into anything I didn't want to do or something that wasn't right for me. Ryan and Greg both offered honest feedback to my questions, (with jokes cracked along the way) and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Greg guided me through the paperwork; which was fast, thorough and pleasant as he cracked some clever jokes along the way. A couple hours later and I'm home as the proud owner of the car I've been waiting to call my own since 2013! Thanks you guys! I'll definitely be coming back for my next one. read more

California Car Company - Finally, she's mine. Thanks Ryan and Greg! - Car Buyers Near Me - Brea, California

I wanted to take my time because I had some flimflam with other dealerships. Thankfully I was not rushed and Ryan was very patient. I got the feeling that he cared more about making sure we got what we were looking for rather than him just getting a sale. we weren't the easiest customers. We got a great deal on a really clean car that checked all the boxes we has. After going to five other dealerships, I recommend you go here first! read more

First off I had a great experience with California Car Company straight off the bat. Thursday night I put a request in for pre credit approval on a Toyota Tundra I was very interested in. The following morning I received a call from Ryan at the dealership. He went to work straight away getting lender approval to move forward. I was out the next day to test drive and ended up taking it home. I'm more than stoked on the level of professionalism they show there. They have all kinds of beautiful cars. I'll be a repeat customer on my next vehicle. Thanks guys for everything! My new Truck is perfect for what I was looking for! Cheers! read more

Had a great experience trading in my 2014 435i Msport coupe for a 2014 535i Msport, today. I have to say out of all the cars I've ever purchase these guys seem like they are the most honest/trustworthy. I've been screwed over before so it's a fresh breath of relief finding a place with, what so far seems to be, character and integrity. I had a thousand questions because of my previous negative exercises buying used bmws and let me tell you the two of them know more then CarMax's entire fleet of a thousand part timers on shift combined. They also don't shiest you on trade ins like nearly all other boutique used car dealerships. I would 100% recommend this place and probably will be coming back for my next car. Now let's hope the car holds up to expectations. So far so good.. read more

We were looking for a replacement family SUV because our previous one was stolen. We fell in love with the Tahoe after seeing it online. I have a relative that lives close in the area cause we are over 400 miles away and he went to check it out and said it was a beautiful truck in person. We worked with Ryan over the phone and he was really nice and responded quickly. We took the leap of faith to drive to Brea and were definitely not disappointed. The dealership is clean well kept and the stock of cars were just as pristine. Ryan and Devon were great to work with. Even being busy they did not make us feel like we didn't matter. The car was gassed up and detailed upon departure. We are so happy to have a beautiful new replacement for our family SUV. Thanks guys for everything!!! read more

Let's be honest, buying a used car isn't the most pleasant experience... I went to two other dealerships which completely wasted by time with ridiculous bait and switch tactics (exuberant prices for "options" not disclosed until the very end). When I found a clean, super low mileage Jeep Rubicon at CCC I went down to take a look. They are a smaller dealership and I didn't have high expectations initially but I was wrong about them. I dealt with Ryan and he wasn't pushy with selling me stuff I wasn't interested in. They try to pull any bait and switch tactics on me. The price, was the price, no games. They were straight up and honest with me. We got the deal we wanted and I drove off with my "new to me" Jeep Rubicon within 1 hour. Give Ryan a call! read more

By far the best car shopping experience I've had! Devin was so helpful and informative. After going to many dealerships feeling unsure I'm glad I made this stop to California car company. I ended up getting a better model for less mileage at a better rate with no hidden fees than another Honda Accord I had in mind from a different dealership! Thank you Devin for all your help. Definitely recommend!! You won't regret it! read more

I am very happy with my experience California Car Company. The dealership has amazing cars and a no pressure approach. When I first went by there, I really liked a BMW 535i with M package, but didn't pull the trigger that day. Ryan told us we would be back lol. That particular car was gone within a few days. So I started a search for 535s in CA, AZ, and NV. None could compare to the one I let get away. So when I saw a 550i was added to the California Car Company website, I inquired right away and got there early the day the car got on the lot. The 550i is gorgeous, fully loaded, M Package, clean, clean, clean. Almost as close to perfect as you can get. For a great price. And now she is mine. The process is fast, with no pressure. The office is nice, clean and professional. read more

Best experience I have ever had buying a car. I had to write this review after having the absolute worst experience accompanying my mother to Moss Brothers VW in Moreno Valley. That place was almost a parody of slimy used car salesmen. What a difference between that experience and the one I had with California Car Company in Brea. I did my research and looked at two 4Runners. We asked some questions and left to look at others cars on my list. The only thing the salesman said was: "We have the best deals. You will be back." Guess what? We came back later that day and bought the first vehicle we looked at. I drove all over So. Cal. that day and never found a better vehicle or a better deal. I love my beautiful 4Runner. It only had 25,000 miles on it and the price was fair. The salesman was professional m, competent, and zero pressure. I'm not sure I appreciated that at the time. After Miss Brothers, I certainly do. I had to mention that damnable place here, because my mother will go there to get the car serviced. I already expect them to weasel out of the warranty, but don't want to jinx it further. Thank you California car company. I'm keeping your advertising on my truck. read more

It's been a while since I've had to deal with car salesmen; since starting the process a few days ago, I was reminded how much I can't stand the car buying process. Dealing with Ryan and the team at California Car Company definitely changed that perspective. Straight up, no frills, no b.s. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Spotted my dream car at California Car Company ... only problem was it was located over 300 miles away and with everything going on in the world today, I didn't feel comfortable traveling to SoCal. I got in touch with Ryan at California Car and he was just the right amount of laid back (not pushy at all) & professional and really helped walk me through the process from afar. He got me lined up for no hassle financing, talked me through how to ship and I had my car in no time. Ryan even followed up after I received the car to see how things were going. Thanks for the great customer service and experience - I'd recommend to any of my family and friends! read more

So on a Friday called on a Porsche 911 2008 tales to a guy named Devon who was chill said we were interested in looking at it. Drove down at 10 am when lot opened and walked around at least 15 min before someone came out to assist no biggie told him we were looking at the Colbalt blue but noticed the black as well he mentioned the black was sold as we were talking in conversation he got a call answered the phone went away never came back ... I went inside used the restroom and noticed he was sitting behind his desk chatting with 2 staff didn't even bother to come back out we planned on taking for a test drive but at this point ... no way by by! So I will update my review ... Devon did call me to apologize and mentioned that he is short staffed ... nice of him to recognize his mistake and appreciate the call. read more

Absolutely great place to buy a car! Found the car online. I live in Cincinnati so buying a car in California was potentially a risk. Seemed like a good price. Sent online request for more information. Immediately was sent all the information about the car with pictures and financing options. Made a call to Devin who was outstanding through entire process. Answered all my questions via phone or text even with 3hr time difference. Sent me contract overnight and helped arrange a good warranty. Car was perfectly detailed on arrival and in even better condition than I expected. Made this process fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend for sure whether you live in CA or not! read more

I've been through the process a few times to purchase a used vehicle. It can be a bit sketchy and mysterious. Ryan and Devin are a dream to work with. They were transparent and thorough with everything starting from the initial conversation to the test drive and, importantly, the paperwork. They made the process easy and straightforward. They were very thorough and would walk you through every detail and step along the way. Best car shopping experience. I would definitely come back when it's time for a new one. Thank you --- Ryan, Devin, and the rest of the California Car Company team! read more

My heart was set in a specific look of Jeep and after two failed attempts elsewhere I found the car of my dreams online. The times we are in right now are beyond strange, stay at home orders and limited hours, Ryan accommodated me right from home. Every detail was worked out prior to me ever stepping foot on the property. The cars here are impeccable, low miles, great upgrades, and great prices. However, it's the customer service from every staff member that blew me away. I had an absolute great car buying experience. I would recommend this place to any and everyone looking. Thank you for the perfect transaction! read more

When I shop for cars I do extensive searches, including out of state. I usually look for 3 months or more I currently own 6 vehicles. The California Car Company in my opinion is definitely a place to begin your search. I bought an off road SUV. The price was extremely good. And dealing with the sales and finance Dept. couldn't have been easier. I'm sure this won't be the last time I'll buy a car from this dealership. read more

This is the place to go if you're in the market for a new vehicle. I reached out to them online about a car I was interested in. Devon gave me a call to discuss the details and I went in the next day to look at the car. Ryan took me on a badass test drive and he was very knowledgeable about the car and its features. When we got back Devon helped me seal the deal and I was out of there in my new car! He made the process quick and simple and he provided plenty of supporting documents to prove you're not buying a piece of junk. Thanks again guys I'm loving the car! read more
