Zach was great. He was nice and help with process smooth. I didn’t have my mind made up to trade in my car but he did everything in his power to make me a deal I couldn’t refuse! But most importantly he treated me like family! If you want a smooth transaction come see Zach in Montclair!

We came out this week looking to get a car and initially went to STG, but unfortunately, they couldn’t accommodate our needs. Shortly after, we received a call from an online agent at California Motors Direct, located right next door. We made an appointment to see a Nissan Pathfinder, and upon arrival, we were introduced to Zach Harper. From the moment we met Zach, he was sharp, attentive, and genuinely focused on helping us. He listened carefully to our needs and concerns, and worked tirelessly—going back and forth with options—to get as close as possible to what we were looking for. Thanks to Zach’s determination and outstanding customer service, we drove away with a 2024 Nissan Pathfinder that same day. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. Thank you, Zach!

Purchasing a vehicle at California Motors Direct was an exceptional experience, thanks to Zach. After a long and tiring day at work, Zach went above and beyond to help us secure a vehicle and negotiated to get us the best deal possible. His professionalism and genuine personality were a refreshing change in the car sales world. Thanks to his outstanding customer service, we walked away not only with a great vehicle but also a truly positive experience.

Honestly I was nervous at first it wasn’t my first time buying a car but first time through an actual dealership. Luckily Mr. Esteban was here and guided me through with honest and direct transparency that made this experience so much easier. He did not push for my decision nor add any stress or pressure he was a big help and a big reason as to why I decided and was more than sure on making my purchase. Will definitely keep him and his team in mind when doing any type of automobile business or assistance.

My family and I came in looking at the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander but honestly I didn’t think I’d get approved because of my credit. Carlos worked hard for us and made it happen. He got us approved and into a newer, reliable car for the family. Super thankful he came through when we really needed it.

My mom and I came in looking for a 2017 HR-V, and Carlos really took care of us. We ended up driving off in a 2020! Credit wasn’t the best, but he still made it happen and got us into something solid.

The salesman Daniel was super helpful in helping me finance my first car. He got me down to a great monthly and got me approved by the bank even with no credit. Throughout the whole process he was able to easily guide me through finding the right car for me and even helped me get a wonderful deal on insurance. Definitely recommend him when it comes to getting a car.
