I had a great experience at California Motors Direct! From start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free. A huge thank-you to Joel, my sales associate, for being so helpful and patient throughout the entire process. He was knowledgeable, professional, and really went above and beyond to make sure I found the right car for my needs. Joel made the buying experience enjoyable — no pressure, just honest communication and great customer service. I highly recommend asking for Joel if you’re looking for a new ride. Thanks again to the whole team at California Motors Direct for making it such a positive experience!

I’m a first time car buyer Mohamed was the name of the guy that helped me buy my car. Being a first time car buyer I was so blessed to have him. He was very thorough and walked me through every step so I could understand what I was doing. He made me feel 100% comfortable and didn’t make me feel cheated.

Had my doubts about shopping here as I had two previous appts made at the Fontana location only to drive 2.5hrs one way to find out the vehicle was at another location. Took a drive and chance and was met by my guy Joel. He apologized for the mishap and assured that if given a chance, he could deliver. And boy did he ever. From start to finish, Joel did everything to get me in and out of the dealer with precision and efficiency. My son now has a new car he wasnt expecting. If you're in the market a vehicle, do yourself a favor and come here first. Everyone at CMD-Montclair will change your mind for the better re: the auto-buying experience. They know how to provide their customers with the royal treatment. Go see Joel.... you'll be glad you did!!!

He took the time to answer all my questions, walked me through every detail of the car, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process.

I absolutely had probably one of the worst situations anyone could present to a dealership. Joel was so attentive and professional and didnt write us off because our situation wasnt ideal. He worked so hard to get us into a car and literally spent all day with us when he could have easily just moved on to another customer. I appreciate him so much and the finance manager , Frank, well lets just say he went above and beyond. They are one of the most professional and friendly dealerships Ive ever been to. I will definitely be coming back and they will be getting lots of referrals from us. Thank u guys so much for everything, you have no idea how much you are appreciated.

Nick was very helpful. Came in not really knowing what I wanted and through talking and checking out several cars, he definitely delivered the best car for me. I asked a lot of questions and he was very helpful in explaining and answering each and every question. I definitely would recommend Nick as a dealer/sales associate. He made me very confident on my choice of car before leaving. Thanks for everything Nick!!

I found pretty much my dream car here. Whatever you do, when purchasing a car here ask for Zach. He was the most helpful honest car salesman ever (and you know how car salesman can be) Super honest, funny and did his very best to get me the best deal possible. It took a while, and don’t get surprised when you see a fee for the theft gps because it’s already installed and all dealerships have it. They were super kind, helped me understand everything and gave me a great deal. The time was 100% worth it! Thanks to zach and the whole team🫶

California Motors Direct gave us such an amazing experience. Zach helped us test drive the car, advised us to look at all details of the car to make sure it was to our liking, and made us feel we were in genuine hands. While waiting for the next steps in the car buying process, my husband and I were greeted warmly by EVERYONE and they even asked about us as people and not just customers. Kevin then showed us different options and repeatedly let us know that his main priority was to make sure that we didn’t settle and left with the car we wanted. He fought for us and after the final offer, my husband and I felt content and at peace with our decision knowing that we were in the best care. Very different from our experiences with other dealerships. We highly recommended California Motors Direct! Especially Zach and Kevin!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joel and Conrad at California Motors Direct in Montclair, and I must say, the experience was outstanding. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism. Joel took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in a vehicle, patiently answering all my questions without any pressure. Conrads expertise in finance and cars was equally impressive. He navigated the complexities of auto loans with ease, presenting me with multiple options that fit my budget. What I appreciated most was their transparency and honesty throughout the entire process. There were no hidden fees or surprises, just straightforward, helpful advice. Thanks to Joel and Conrad, My friend drove away in a car with a financing plan that my friend felt confident about. If youre in the market for a new or used vehicle, I highly recommend visiting California Motors Direct and asking for Joel and Conrad. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is truly exceptional!
