Adan at California Motors Direct was incredible throughout the entire car-buying process. He helped me find exactly the used car I wanted and was patient, helpful, and accommodating every step of the way. No matter what bumps came up, he made sure we worked through them and got the deal done. I truly felt like he had my back the whole time. Highly recommend asking for Adan if you’re in the market—he’ll take great care of you!

Nice people David Montes helped us and he is very kind and patient not pressuring even tho we came in pass 8:30pm and helped us still. And manager Benjamin. They treat you with respect and do not judge you by your clothing. David was not boastful prideful and was not respectful and considerate even thonit was late and pass hours and tired for long day. If ever you buying car work with david montes.

Carlos was great! He made sure to show us cars in our price range and even got our monthly payments down to where we felt comfortable. I also really appreciated that he had puzzles and games at his desk to keep us entertained while we waited, because as you know the process of buying a vehicle can be very long. That in my opinion is definitely going above and beyond for your customers. I highly recommend this place and ask for Carlos

Shopping at California Motors Direct in Montclair was the best decision I ever made this would be my 3rd purchase with them and staff keeps getting better Marilyn ( the only woman👸 ) was not only very helpful , knowledgeable and crystal clear with the numbers , she was very attentive making sure my family was comfortable while getting approved. Her and Alberto were gladly making the calls back and forth figuring out what bank to place me with until I was satisfied, leaving me with comfortable monthly payments and me leaving happy. If you guys go ask for Marilyn and Albert they work great as a team and honestly very reliable cars
