Zachariah Harper was absolutely amazing and incredibly helpful in helping me get my car. He was kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, with answers to every question I had. The entire process was smooth, easy, and truly enjoyable because of him. I would 10/10 recommend coming here and would gladly purchase another car from Zachariah in the future. Harper really got me rolling!

Amanda CopenahverJan 19, 2026

Hassle free experience, and great selections. I was able to work out a deal with Dillan. He was very respectful. I was even able to call ahead and tell him what car I was interested in and he had it ready for me when I arrived. I definitely recommend this place if you are interested in a reliable car. They have a good stock of low mileage vehicles with single previous owners.

Great service, thank you Giovani for being patient with my first car purchase. Will be back again for my next vehicle here.

Efrain LealJan 11, 2026

I Absolutely would recommend California Motors Direct in the city of Montclair. Esteban was our sales rep and he went above and beyond the call of duty. He kept his promise and made sure we were completely satisfied and got us the best possible rate he could. My daughter was our cosigner and she didnt feel like coming so Esteban Followed us home over 60 miles So she could sign the paperwork. Who does that??? Esteban at California Motors Direct, thats who!!! Like I said over and beyond!!!! Thank you so much Esteban ❤️

JovanyJan 08, 2026

I had an awesome experience buying my 2023 Hyundai Sonata, and Mo made the whole process smooth from start to finish. He was professional, honest, and actually listened to what I was looking for instead of trying to upsell me. Mo walked me through all the features of the Sonata, answered every question clearly, and made sure I felt confident with my decision. The process was straightforward, no pressure, and way easier than past dealership experiences I’ve had. If you’re looking for a great deal and someone who genuinely cares about customer satisfaction, I highly recommend asking for Mo. I couldn’t be happier with my car and the experience overall

Tony MadisonJan 08, 2026

Frank was very helpful! And very polite. Super clear with everything come see him !
