Our story

A premium multi-brand dealership in Palo Alto, California. We sell new and certified pre-owned vehicles and stand behind every car we put on the lot.

The original Crestline Motors lot and first showroom
How we started

It began with a single lot

Crestline Motors started in 2016 on a small lot off Bedford Avenue, with a dozen carefully chosen cars and a simple promise: price every vehicle fairly and tell people the truth about it. David Crestwood ran the place himself and knew every car on the lot by its stock number.

Word spread, the lot filled up, and we took over the building next door to add an indoor showroom and a proper service bay.

Where we are now

Same standard, a fuller lineup

The inventory turns over constantly. We carry new and certified pre-owned vehicles across the brands our customers ask for most, and every car goes through a full inspection before it reaches the showroom floor.

We kept the things that mattered from the early days: fair pricing, straight answers, and a team that remembers your name when you come back for your next car.

The Owner

David Crestwood

David grew up around his father's repair shop outside Detroit, where he learned to judge a car by how it was kept rather than how it looked on the surface. He spent years on dealership floors across the Midwest and New York before opening Crestline Motors with the idea of selling cars the way he wished they had been sold to him: plainly, fairly, and with nothing hidden.

He still walks the lot most mornings and personally signs off on every certified pre-owned vehicle.

What we care about

Three things that shape every sale

The inventory changes constantly, but the way we work does not. These are the ideas the team comes back to every day.

Honestly priced

Every vehicle is priced against the market and listed with its real history, so the number on the windshield is the number you can trust.

Fully inspected

Each car passes a multi-point inspection before it reaches the floor, and certified pre-owned models come with a written report.

No pressure

Take the test drive, ask the hard questions, and buy when the car is right. Our specialists are paid to help, not to push.

Our team

The people behind the lot

A small sales and service team who care about the details, from the first test drive to the day you pick up your keys.
