I came in with high hopes and they were met with Esteban. He was able to get me in 1 of the 2 cars I was looking at. I am forever grateful that he was able to work his magic today!

After having a horrible experience the last month going from dealership to dealership, I came back here after 5 years! Everything was done fast, primarily over the phone. After so many denials, I got approved and for the car. I now get to drive home in my dream car: 2021 Kia Telluride SX 🩶 thank you to the staff here at the Montclair location and especially to Harper!!! Harper got me rollin’ 🚘🩶

We had the pleasure of talking with Muhammad. He fought hard to get us the best deal he could and we were very satisfied with the outcome. A few hiccups on my end of things but he made sure to accommodate each and everything we needed during the entire process. Safe to say, one of the best experiences I had at a dealership in a long time.

I had a great experience here at California Motors Direct here in Montclair. I especially want to thank Esteban for being a great salesperson. Very nice gentleman. Not pushy. He was knowledgeable about the car I was interested in. Provided me with a test drive of the car. We talked numbers; I spoke to Albert as well, and we were able to come to a reasonable agreement on price. I’m very satisfied with the car I’m driving off with. I would definitely recommend anyone who’s looking to buy a car in the used market.

We had a great experience buying our vehicle. We were greeted and handed off to Mahammed and he was top tier customer service. He was very well informed and anything we had questions on he was great at answering and communicating.
