I had a GREAT car purchasing experience here at California Motors Direct . Both Nicholas and Frank were very helpful and were to explain everything in detail which made everything easy to understand ! I recommend coming here for any vehicle purchase !!
I had a wonderful car buying experience at here. Miguel was friendly, professional, and never pushy. The process was smooth from start to finish, with clear communication and fair pricing. My car was in perfect condition, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Highly recommend!
Anthony Fernandez sold me a 2016 BMW M2. Smooth experience, overall chill dude. Buy your next car from him
Jerry helped us with the purchase of a car he was very patient and helpful everything was good no problems
I worked with George in sales and really appreciate his honesty and transparency through the entire purchasing process. They were more than fair regarding their asking price and also offered a reasonable and fair value for my trade in. Overall, this was one of the best car buying experiences I’ve had
Jonathan was so incredibly helpful. He was efficient and informative. I was able to handle a lot of the tedious buying process before even coming in to the dealer. Saving us both time. He went above and beyond to insure that financing went through for me on my terms. I had a great experience and would recommend doing business with him. Ask for Jonathan A!
California motor Direct was so friendly and the energy and the vibes were on point. Joshua helped me throughout the whole process and everything was easy. 10/10 would recommend
I came into California motors direct and Zach Harper helped me out. I felt welcomed and I was hesitant buying a car but after talking about what I was looking for in means to style of car and financials I would say I felt understood and heard. Not pressured. Good salesman work for sure.
Came in looking for something in my budget , and my sales agent Zach did just that !. He was very helpful , and kind in providing multiple options to choose from . The process was very fast , non stressful , and easy . He’s very professional, even offered snacks during the wait !
Esteban was wonderful helped a ton and explained every bit of information recommend this dealer
Came in from San Diego and was able to get a civic for a great price. Travion showed us the car and was very helpful. George helped us out and was amazing! Ask for him! When we asked one of the previous salesmen to remove the security package, he said it’s pre installed. But after later negotiations he lowered the price, but in doing so he also removed one of the “pre installed” security features. What a joke!! Thankfully George came in and helped us out.
as a first time car buyer this place was really great, no pressure at all and everyone was very kind & helpful ! s/o Jonny for helping us with the entire process
Thank you to Jhonatan. Amazing work!
I Brenda got a 2022 Chevy Malibu with low credit & with the help of Rico & Jerry ! Thank you so much! I went home extremely happy! The process was very fast and easy. I’m so happy and greatly appreciated with both of their help, plus the financing manager. I mean they are all great people and deserve the best. Thank you both for giving me my car to drive home TODAY !!! ☺️ I will definitely be coming back here! 😆

Smooth and quick process, Raymond is a really good guy who didn’t pressure and helped get everything done in a well manner, would definitely recommend Fontana motors
Very honest dealership. I would recommend them, haven’t had any issues with my car so far. Will update this comment in the future.
Zach was great. He was nice and help with process smooth. I didn’t have my mind made up to trade in my car but he did everything in his power to make me a deal I couldn’t refuse! But most importantly he treated me like family! If you want a smooth transaction come see Zach in Montclair!

The great things I’ve experienced at this dealership has been life changing. Caleb is amazingly helpful and knowledgeable! Austin was an incredible manager as well. They really helped me with my car deal despite my challenging circumstances. I’ll definitely be back for more business if it ever comes to do so.

Jerry was the best and very nice helpful from the moment I walked in!! Helped me with good service!
Great experience with these guys... Very fair and accommodating to us... George has a great attitude and gave us a great car buying experience...
Customer service was top-tier! Gorge Had great vibes from the time that I walked in the building. I damn near wanted to buy two cars. He was so good at his job. Super professional went out of his way to do a couple of small things. Type of customer service you don’t find anywhere anymore. He’s great!!
Kevin and the team worked hard to get me into the car I was looking for. This is now my third car from them and I’m sure won’t be my last.
Anthony was so great! Clear communication and super patient through the process. He was very understanding and really helped us understand everything about the 2020 Mustang we were looking at.
I am so happy that I came to this dealership to make my purchase. Zach and Frank made it so easy to make my decision. They definitely kade sure to take care of me throughout the entire process. I definitely recommend California Motors Direct, and ask for Zach or Frank if you come in!!
