Bought a 2020 BMW M340i from Jordan, at The California Motor Trade. My wife and I love it, and it was her dream car. Glad we got to experience this place. Definitely coming back!

My second review in 2 days, first Joell helped us locate and lock in a great price on the truck (my husbands dream truck) second: Jhonatan Miranda helped my husband with finalizing all the paperwork and he went above and beyond! We had such a great experience that we recommend our son to Fontana Motors Direct, and today our son was helped by Mark, and my son walked away with his dream car, mark also went above and beyond by getting my sons monthly payments even lower then what we had agreed originally. Over all Fontana Motor Direct and their sales men are awesome! We will definitely be returning customers in the future and will recommend them to anyone who ask!! Thank you Joell, Jhonatan and Mark for everything you did and all your help!

12/28/24 - Hey just bought a Toyota Corolla LE 2022 here and was helped by Joey for a major 5 hrs! Amazing support from the employee and I even got a good deal from the manager with a low down payment. I was able to test drive 2 cars, with 1 car being test drived twice, and the employee stayed with it the entire time, awesome support, thanks! Attitude was excellent even when they didnt have any food breaks. Above and beyond service, awesome work!

Just got back from buying a Hyundai Elantra GT from Ronald at California Motor Trade. He was extremely helpful and empathetic to my budget. He gave me zero pressure to purchase outside my budget and even steered me to stick with the more inexpensive car for my first time driver teen. I do not usually have good experiences at dealerships, but Ronald redeemed the industry today. I will definitely go back!

We have had a wonderful experience with Zach and everyone at Fontana Motors Direct! After experiencing issues with another dealership (including overcharging and hidden fees) and informing Zach while we were car shopping, he made sure to take care of us.

Jhonatan Miranda was such a pleasant person to work with. I came on to the lot looking for Cargo Van at an excellent price and he was able to help me do so. He made me and my business partner feel extremely comfortable and didn’t try any sort of sleezy salesman tactics. He was open and honest which made this transaction all the better. Thank you so much for your help

His expertise and knowledge was impressive as he was able to answer all of my questions and got me in the car I wanted at a great deal.

I had a great experience yesterday with Johnny Alcantar where I bought a Subaru. First of all I contacted him to go see the car. He had the car washed and ready for me to check it out in less than half hour. Even-though they had many selection of cars he was very knowledgeable about this specific car. There was not much haggling over the price. It was a reasonable price for the car. He was very cordial and got me the best deal possible. I would highly recommend this dealership if anyone wants to get a good price and ask for Johnny. He is the man!
