If you have trouble getting it done, there are private companies who specialize in CA out-of-state DMV paperwork and they charge around $100 in addition to CA fees. Sometimes it is worth it simply in terms of hair loss.
The CA DMV is a strange place and it often seems like no one there knows how to handle anything out of the ordinary. They wanted $1700 in fees to import my out-of-state Benz and I politely declined as I was moving shortly and had 90 day temp tags. Got title and 2 year reg in Idaho for $74 and it was easy as pie.

AAA handles private party out of state only. The reason is reciprocal fees and taxes with other states that AAA does not have access to.
