Got here and didn't think I was going to be able to trade my car because of certain circumstances but Doug and his manager and their team did a great job. They worked hard to find the right car for me and Doug and his manager stayed consistent with contacting the Banks and pushing the deal through. I recommend this place and everyone is friendly and get a grade A+ overall with everything.

Johnathan was amazing. Super friendly and honest. I was very nervous on buying a car that was used but he was very helpful and walked me through the car-fax and the maintenance history on the vehicle, which really gave me confidence that I was making the right choice. I would definitely come back to buy a car from him.

We had the pleasure of talking with Muhammad. He fought hard to get us the best deal he could and we were very satisfied with the outcome. A few hiccups on my end of things but he made sure to accommodate each and everything we needed during the entire process. Safe to say, one of the best experiences I had at a dealership in a long time.

I had a great experience here at California Motors Direct here in Montclair. I especially want to thank Esteban for being a great salesperson. Very nice gentleman. Not pushy. He was knowledgeable about the car I was interested in. Provided me with a test drive of the car. We talked numbers; I spoke to Albert as well, and we were able to come to a reasonable agreement on price. I’m very satisfied with the car I’m driving off with. I would definitely recommend anyone who’s looking to buy a car in the used market.

California motors direct was solid, Andrew H. was outstanding to work with, they are easy to work with, and extremely fair with pricing. They do add some fees on, however they are willing to take them off, also their pricing beats most other dealerships by far. Trade in process was long, but simple. All in all the process was lengthy, but excellent service.
