Where do I begin. California Motors Direct is not only one of the best car dealerships I’ve ever been in. As well as extremely low prices that match what they are offering. I got to thank Deshan and Johnny! Deshan hands down needs a raise or something! The way he handled my car as well as keeping me updated throughout the whole process is what I appreciate the most. He understands people’s concerns as well as walked me through the whole deal start to finish! If you going in, always as for deshan! He will make sure you always walk out with a nice car as well as great savings!

It was a terrific experience and Abe was very helpful and I’m glad I was able to walk away with a vehicle

Deshan is a very nice and efficient salesmen. He tries his best to get you in and out of the dealership without waiting for hours and hours. He also tries his absolute best to give you the best interest rate and price so that you can be happy walking out of the dealership. CMD Montclair is a great place to buy your next car from and not like any other shady place nearby, especially like STG, who has hidden fees and markups! Make sure y’all come in and ask for Deshan for your next car.

Called ahead of time, Josh and Abe had everything ready. Although I didn’t opt in on these 2 extras, they have real great prices on Warranty and Theft Protection. I did opt in on gap insurance which was a great price! Great service, car was exactly as advertised! I would come back.

Brilliant job by a professional yet low key 'OG' crew! First POC (point of contact) was with Rudy who is the epitome of 'high touch/consultative style). Members of the core team also chilled and made the entire UX super chill .

This was my Second time buying a Car from California Motor Direct - Montclair. First it was a Land Rover Discovery & this time it’s a Mercedes C300 AMG. These guys are amazing, they have the best quality vehicles and always on top of the game. Specially I need to mention about Sales Agent NICK who helped me with finding the right car and bringing it to Montclair all the way from LA. And with the whole process he was so helpful.

My experience at Montclair Motors was the best car buying experience that I've ever had. I have purchased several vehicles previously from other dealerships. What makes this experience so special was Mr Nicholas Reading's Professional Service rendered to us. He was prompt, caring, kind, and very patient. I had my special need grandson with me and Mr. Nicholas was interactive and wonderfully kind. It wasn't a long process, Mr. Nicholas got us out in a short period of time. I would recommend everyone to visit with him, if you want professional service!!!!!! Thank You Mr. Nicholas Reading

Awesome cars, at low prices. Process a lil slow but most dealers can't help it. Especially if you don't get pre-approval before you get there. I bought my car last year from CMD and got a sweet deal. Came back and got another great deal. For my daughter this time and she loves her car. We bought the bumper to bumper warranty which is not a bad deal considering it's a luxury car. Ian gave us the option and made sure we knew the price difference with or without the warranty. I think all the people throwing shade on here just don't know how to buy a car. Definitely deserve 5 stars. I already told Ian I will definitely be back soon to upgrade my car cause I think my daughter's flossing on me now. Thanks CMD!!
