Finding the Best Car Dealerships in California
When it comes to buying a new car, choosing the right dealership is crucial. It can make the difference between loving your car and regretting your purchase. A study by the California New Car Dealers Association predicts that around 1.71 million new vehicles will be registered in 2025. However, not all car buyers are entirely happy with their experiences. According to a recent 2023 survey by Cox Automotive, only 69% of consumers reported high satisfaction with the car buying process.
Top Dealerships for New and Used Cars
For those in Northern California, especially in the Redding-Chico-Sacramento area, knowing where to shop can greatly enhance your car-buying experience. In an effort to help, USA TODAY, along with Statista, has released the “California’s Best Car Dealers 2025” list, identifying the top dealership options in the state.
In the North State, standout options include:
- Lithia Toyota of Redding – Located on Cypress Avenue
- Yreka Honda – Situated on South Main Street
- Chuck Patterson Toyota – Found on E Avenue in Chico
For residents willing to drive a bit further, some dealerships in Sacramento also made the list:
- Maita Toyota of Sacramento
- 101 Auto Sales
- Mercedes-Benz of Sacramento
- Niello BMW Sacramento
- CarMax Sacramento South
- Future Ford of Sacramento
How the Best Dealerships Were Chosen
So, how were these dealerships selected? The assessment was based on extensive surveys involving customers who purchased a car in the past two years or were in the market for one. Over 5,000 evaluations were collected, resulting in valuable insights and data for 75,000 points of comparison.
Participants rated dealerships on several factors:
- Consultation: The friendliness and competence of the sales staff
- Offerings: Clarity of information and availability of test drives
- Pricing: Price levels and negotiation flexibility
- Repairs: Quality of the maintenance services
- Overall Satisfaction: Likelihood to buy again and quality of after-sales service
Conclusion
The top 250 car dealerships highlighted represent less than 5% of over 5,000 dealers in California, emphasizing their reliability and customer satisfaction. Among the top ten, many brands like Honda, Toyota, BMW, and Chevrolet stood out, with Stockton Honda taking the lead. Los Angeles emerged with the highest concentration of top dealers.
