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.

Zach Harper helped us purchase our new family car and helped out tremendously. Deserves a bonus. Hear that management?
Zac Harper was so helpful and made this experience as smooth as possible for my husband and I. He explained everything thoroughly and did everything he could to get us the best deal for our new vehicle. Highly recommend working with him.
Had a great experience here, the salesman Joel was very helpful and patient with our inquiries. Top notch salesman aswell as the manager 👌👌
Joel and Nicholas were very attentive and helped me out a lot. I got a deal I was happy with and was able to get everything done efficiently. Thank you!
Mohammed was extremely helpful and patient with the process of getting the 2015 chevy trax. He made sure we were happy with the deal and id recommend him for anyone
5-Star Review for California Motors I recently bought a car from California Motors, and the experience was great! The team was quick, professional, and made the whole process smooth. They gave me a good deal and had me in and out in no time. I really appreciate how straightforward and friendly they were — definitely recommend checking them out if you’re looking for a car!
The car was excellent and the process was so easy. Mohammed was incredibly helpful and made sure all my questions were answered. I highly recommend.
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.
5 Star Service from Joel and Mo who worked hard to put me in the best car with friendly and professional service!
Nick was awesome. He worked with me and helped me out with all my requests. I appreciate everything you guys did and the car deal was great!
The car buying experience was very smooth. Joel demonstrated professionalism and addressed all my questions with confidence, exceeding typical expectations. I would confidently recommend working with Joel for your next vehicle purchase.
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!!!

Nicholas was awesome , made the process of getting my dream car fast , he is patient and and honest person most definitely book an appointment with him !
Had a great experience at California direct motors, Esteban was very knowledgeable and helpful during the whole process.
Mo was professional, courteous and listened to our needs. He found us the perfect car, for the price that we were looking for! We highly recommend to ask for Mo, if youre shopping for a car. We loved the dealership and the staff. A special thanks to Frank, for assigning Mo to take care of us! 👍🏻
Esteban was the best didn’t stop until I was satisfied and happy with my decision thank you Esteban recommend him for sure
I had an excellent experience working with Fabian! From the moment I arrived, he was friendly, professional, and never pushy. 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. Fabian went above and beyond to get me a great deal and made the whole car-buying experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended.
He did a great job and he’s a great guy.
Walked in unsure of what car to get but Zach really helped me figure out what made the most sense for me. Super respectful and transparent throughout the whole process. I couldn’t be happier with the car, price, and new relationship with him, thank you Zach.
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!!
Zach is amazing! He went above and beyond to get me into a 2024 Elantra! I would highly recommend coming here !
Joel was so helpful. Very honest really patient a great experience I would buy from here again
Jerry at California Motors Direct was amazing! He helped us with our 2021 Toyota Camry XSE and made the whole process easy and stress-free. As first-time buyers, he guided us to a better and more reliable option. Super friendly and professional—highly recommend!
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🫶
Kevin and everyone here were super patient and helpful with me. Buying a car is a bit tedious but they were very accommodating to my needs. I would definitely buy another car here.
Kevin was a Great help was very helpful when when questioned and very generous environment overall great people and prices
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!
Great dealership! Everyone was very nice, helpful and fast with their work. Zack and Kevin made my wife and mine experience buying our first car together a moment we will never forget. Thanks to the whole team.

We recently purchased a grey Dodge scat pack from this dealership. I absolutely love this dealership. The people that work there are so nice thank you to Jerry for helping me out with everything. Jerry was amazing and help me out with everything ,and also shout out to the manager Frank he is amazing.
Nick really went above and beyond and got me exactly what I needed. I told him what I was looking for and he made it happen. Happy with the service and his flexibility. If you’re looking for a car, go to Nick. Nick is your guy!
Joel and Conrad where great they really helped me get my first vehicle when no one else would, they both made it happen and made my first experience awesome, please ask for them when you come here. They will get you right!
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!
Amazing Experience with Fabian. Fabian was absolutely fantastic to work with! He was honest, patient, and made the entire car-buying process smooth and stress-free.
