CARMOTIVE is the number one independent pre-owned car dealer in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, serving Santa Maria and the Central Coast. They offer a great selection of over 150 quality used cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, relaxed, personable, and lovely to work with. They are straight shooters who do not play games or do any upcharging. The team provides good answers for every question, offers test drives, and works with customers on their budget. They give great quotes and make the purchasing process easy and fast. CARMOTIVE is a really solid option, especially for first-time buyers. They offer auto financing and second chance financing. A key benefit is their participation in the CUDL program for credit union buyers, which streamlines the process for those with pre-approval from a California based credit union. Many customers report being really happy with their experience, leaving as a satisfied customer, and highly recommend the dealership for both buying and selling a vehicle.
