Awesome and easy experience at Fontana motors direct, I really needed a car and Gio helped me out no problem if you guys need anything he’s the man to see

IssiahNov 03, 2025

I had such an amazing experience at this car dealership. Dylan was not only attentive to how I felt but very negotiable about the price. I would say that Dylan was one of the best car salesman associates at this company. Definitely go to him if you need help.

Daisy AguilarNov 03, 2025

The car buying experience was very smooth. Joel demonstrated professionalism and addressed all my questions with confidence, exceeding typical expectations. I would confidently recommend working with Joel for your next vehicle purchase.

Jenny MirandaNov 03, 2025

Had my doubts about shopping here as I had two previous appts made at the Fontana location only to drive 2.5hrs one way to find out the vehicle was at another location. Took a drive and chance and was met by my guy Joel. He apologized for the mishap and assured that if given a chance, he could deliver. And boy did he ever. From start to finish, Joel did everything to get me in and out of the dealer with precision and efficiency. My son now has a new car he wasnt expecting. If you're in the market a vehicle, do yourself a favor and come here first. Everyone at CMD-Montclair will change your mind for the better re: the auto-buying experience. They know how to provide their customers with the royal treatment. Go see Joel.... you'll be glad you did!!!

Mo was professional, courteous and listened to our needs. He found us the perfect car, for the price that we were looking for! We highly recommend to ask for Mo, if youre shopping for a car. We loved the dealership and the staff. A special thanks to Frank, for assigning Mo to take care of us! 👍🏻

Chasun ArredondoNov 01, 2025

I had an excellent experience working with Fabian! From the moment I arrived, he was friendly, professional, and never pushy. He took the time to answer all my questions, walked me through every detail of the car, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. Fabian went above and beyond to get me a great deal and made the whole car-buying experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended.

I want to thank Jorge Harari and Gustavo for their service and for being very understanding, they helped me get my first car at an incredible rate explained the whole contract and process patiently definitely recommend

CasandraOct 29, 2025

I absolutely had probably one of the worst situations anyone could present to a dealership. Joel was so attentive and professional and didnt write us off because our situation wasnt ideal. He worked so hard to get us into a car and literally spent all day with us when he could have easily just moved on to another customer. I appreciate him so much and the finance manager , Frank, well lets just say he went above and beyond. They are one of the most professional and friendly dealerships Ive ever been to. I will definitely be coming back and they will be getting lots of referrals from us. Thank u guys so much for everything, you have no idea how much you are appreciated.

Aileen MontesinosOct 29, 2025

Tyler was very helpful in finding the Acura I was looking for would definitely recommend two friends and family!

VintageOct 28, 2025

Nick was very helpful. Came in not really knowing what I wanted and through talking and checking out several cars, he definitely delivered the best car for me. I asked a lot of questions and he was very helpful in explaining and answering each and every question. I definitely would recommend Nick as a dealer/sales associate. He made me very confident on my choice of car before leaving. Thanks for everything Nick!!

Ezekiel RodriguezOct 28, 2025

I needed a car fast. I found the dealership online and made an appointment. Dylan Shavette helped us out with the process

Victor LeanoOct 26, 2025

I found pretty much my dream car here. Whatever you do, when purchasing a car here ask for Zach. He was the most helpful honest car salesman ever (and you know how car salesman can be) Super honest, funny and did his very best to get me the best deal possible. It took a while, and don’t get surprised when you see a fee for the theft gps because it’s already installed and all dealerships have it. They were super kind, helped me understand everything and gave me a great deal. The time was 100% worth it! Thanks to zach and the whole team🫶

sumones lofiOct 26, 2025

Keyshawn_ CrossOct 26, 2025

California Motors Direct gave us such an amazing experience. Zach helped us test drive the car, advised us to look at all details of the car to make sure it was to our liking, and made us feel we were in genuine hands. While waiting for the next steps in the car buying process, my husband and I were greeted warmly by EVERYONE and they even asked about us as people and not just customers. Kevin then showed us different options and repeatedly let us know that his main priority was to make sure that we didn’t settle and left with the car we wanted. He fought for us and after the final offer, my husband and I felt content and at peace with our decision knowing that we were in the best care. Very different from our experiences with other dealerships. We highly recommended California Motors Direct! Especially Zach and Kevin!

Briana SherengoOct 26, 2025
