First off I'm a return customer. I noticed this dealership had a lot of nice cars online so I decided to come in. I thought it would be a hassle since I had to bring my small son, but Daniel made the process very smooth. All my questions were answered honestly, and I can overall say I just felt comfortable knowing the goal was for me to leave in a safe, reliable car for my kids and I. I would recommend CA Motors Direct to anybody, and I'll definitely be back for my next purchase. I left w my dignity and a beautiful car.

I just wanna say if you haven’t heard or had the pleasure of working with Zach or the team over at Fontana Motors Direct for your next automobile you are definitely missing out! They have top tier customer service and Zach is amazing. With less than perfect credit they got me approved and into a nice car. They definitely made buying a car smooth and painless. A million Thank you’s. I will definitely be back.

I recently purchased a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado from Fontana Motors Direct, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. The staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. My salesperson, Zach and Jamie, took the time to understand what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect vehicle within my budget. The process was smooth and transparent no surprises, just great service and great pricing. The team went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. If you’re looking to buy a used or new vehicle I would 100% Recommend Fontana Motors Direct.

Came to Fontana Motors to purchase a car and Zach helped us out a lot. He was very nice and very welcoming! He didn’t just try to sell us a car but also made us feel at home. It felt like we have known each other for a long time and we just met. I really recommend if you’re looking to buy a car go to Fontana motors and ask for Zach he will get you the best deals!!!
