Bryant did a great job helping take my trade in for a decent price and helping get me in a new car with good monthly payments. Also suggested a good insurance company. I will be leaving a later review after I see how things go with them later on if I need any help in the future.

This was my Second time buying a Car from California Motor Direct - Montclair. First it was a Land Rover Discovery & this time it’s a Mercedes C300 AMG. These guys are amazing, they have the best quality vehicles and always on top of the game. Specially I need to mention about Sales Agent NICK who helped me with finding the right car and bringing it to Montclair all the way from LA. And with the whole process he was so helpful. Best customer service provided by Nick. Amazing man. Will come again to buy my next Car. Keep it up. And shout out to Montclair Manager too. Cheers.

I have to say it was by far the best car buying experience in my life without exaggeration! Aston was by far the best salesperson I have ever met. Car buying is always stressful and all you ever hear from sales people are, "I can't do that." Not one time did I ever hear any negative comments or someone trying to upsell me and make me feel like I had to do anything I didn't want to do. The experience was all about what I wanted. I highly recommend this dealership especially due to the employees as well as the management working with you. No outrageous fees like all the dealerships are putting on cars at the moment. I truly felt taken care of. I highly recommend asking for the salesman Aston, he's amazing! I have bought many cars in my lifetime and I chose this dealership to buy the car of my dreams because of the experience I had. Thank you Aston and Corona Motors Direct for helping me to become a Shelby owner!

I bought a Z from them recently and the whole transaction was a breeze. They guided me through everything and I was able to get the payment plan I wanted. They will help you every step of the way. Highly recommend this place. Great selection of cars as well. Actually going back for a full detail and some maintenance work since I’m covered by the warranty.

Had a nice time looking for a car at Fontana Motors Direct. At alot of dealership I looked at Online there cars are very reasonable when comparing miles and money. Not pushy at all. Played classy 🎶 while completing paperwork. Justin was very knowledgeable Salesperson from beginning to end. I looked under the hood, tires and took a test drive. And knew his job hands down. Thank you 😊

I drove out to Colton from Burbank yesterday to check out a Jeep they had. I was immediately greeted by Luis, who was helpful, understanding, and knowledgeable about the Jeep I was after AND any other car on the lot! I appreciated his understanding and honesty. They were all very upfront on how they operate, where they get their cars from, and how they sell. Thank you!

Found a vehicle online, reached out to CMT in Downey. Isaac reached out to me almost immediately. Was super appreciative of his patience to accommodate all my questions. Unfortunately, the vehicle I was interested in was sold the same day, great for the buyer, bummer for me. Isaac did his best to offer alternative options but the downside to me is I’m a pretty picky guy. I’ll just have to wait until they get another in their inventory. Look forward to doing business in the future with Isaac and CMT. 💯 recommend CMT, ask for Isaac. 😎👍🏼
