Esteban was extremely helpful when I visited. He allowed me to be curious about the cars and although I might have asked too many questions he was patient and answered as best he could. He offered solid advice on recommendations when the car I looked up online wasn't exactly what I was envisioned. I was shown car options up front which helped me decide confidently which car I wanted; when I got my new car he provided great tips for a new car buyer!

Best car buying experience I’ve been involved in! I had the privilege to work with Eddie. I didn’t have a set car in mind of what I wanted, just an idea. Eddie brought those ideas to reality by showing me several cars. Providing me with detailed information on each individual car. Also giving me his honest opinion based with his experience on each car. After I chose my car by doing the process of elimination. I finally found the car that I was driving home with. Eddie made the paperwork process quick and easy as can be. I definitely recommend working with Eddie on your next vehicle purchase.

I had a great experience with Fontana Motors Direct . I was helped by Sujan , he did an amazing job to work with my bf and I to work every possible option for approval even with bad credit he got us approved with good monthly payment and warranty coverage for the car. I was happy to say he also was able to get any minor repairs needed for the car before I drive it off the lot . George also was a great help he assisted with the paperwork and gave clear information . Staff is friendly and service was great . I definitely recommend coming here if you need a car and are having trouble at other dealers to get an approval they will work with you with the best banks . We will be coming back to trade in our car here where they give a great percentage back to earn your business ! I love it here , thank you again ! 🙏🏼
