Top Notch Dealership. From the first contact by phone to signing on the bottom line for my new car, this was the best buying experience I have ever had. And I have bought many cars over the years. Shout out to Jonny for his professionalizim and guidance that made the process seamless. Also to Christian, who stepped in to lend a hand while Jonny was with other customers. Their lot is full of quality vehicles at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend this dealership if you are in the market.

Zach Harper was the best. He’s truly a rare salesman, one who try’s his hardest to get you want you want and need. Not only did he get us the car we wanted but he tried his hardest to get us the best deal possible. When you go to motors direct in Fontana ask for Zach!

Make sure you speak to Johnny! Super helpful, was desperate for a car as my transmission went out. Called and spoke to Johnny and told him hey I have a repo and a credit score of low 500’s but I can put some money down if you can help. Filed out credit app and he got back with me in 5 mins, held the car I wanted and sent me pic and videos. I had to catch a train from LA to get here he even offered to pick me up from the train station. Pulled up and he had me drive off the lot the same day and was in and out in less than 2 hours! Highly recommend Johnny and this cat lot!!

We were helped by a salesman named Dylan, he was very good at making sure we felt comfortable in whatever decisions we were making. He was very knowledgeable every time we had any questions and made sure we fully understood what was expected. Coming from other dealerships that didn’t really try to make sure that we were helped at all it was very refreshing to have been helped the way were. He deserves a raise.

Bruce Almighty came in and saved the day for us. We needed a new car and he was able to find the perfect one for us with a monthly payment we felt totally comfortable in. He wasn’t pushy, which is the reason we chose him to move forward with a sale. We came in pretty late with our son and he was so kind and patient with us the whole way through.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Fernando at Fontana Motors Direct, and I cannot recommend him enough! From the moment I walked in, Fernando was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me find the perfect car. He guided me through the process seamlessly and made it stress-free. I ended up purchasing a 2019 Kia Stinger GT1, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Fernando took the time to explain all the features, answer every question I had, and even went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable with the financing options. His transparency and honesty made the entire experience feel easy and trustworthy. If you’re in the market for a new car, do yourself a favor and ask for Fernando at Fontana Motors Direct.
