Frank was very helpful and kind with this process😁. We went home quickly and with a smile on our faces because we got the car that we wanted. When we come again we’ll make sure we will ask for Frank and recommend others.

I had a great experience with California Motor Direct in Montclair when purchasing our 2017 Chevy Bolt. Our contractor, Harper, was fantastic, he was able to get the rates down as needed and negotiated everything with full transparency, which I really appreciated. Communication was clear and consistent between both parties throughout the entire process, so there were no surprises. Overall, the service was truly top tier. Highly recommend! #HarperGotMeRolling

This was the best experience I’ve had purchasing a car. I give them 5 stars & above!! I randomly walked in not knowing what to expect. I was greeted with the nicest person Joel, who took time for me & listened to my situation. He spent hours with me & helped me with my trade in. He was so transparent, helpful & kind!! I was in a bind & they helped me get out of it ! I can’t thank them enough ! Thank you to all of the staff absolutely amazing customer service !! Including the finance manager who worked hard getting me a better interest rate as well & Albert who went out of his way to have my wheels upgraded to the color I wanted without me even asking !! There was no hassle or pressure at all. Everyone went above & beyond to make this experience a great one! I am such a happy customer !!! Will be a returning customer in the future !
