I had such a great experience buying my car at California Motor Direct, all thanks to Frank. He was super helpful, honest, and easy to work with from the beginning. He really took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable with everything. Frank made the whole process smooth and stress-free—no pressure, no games, just good service. Buying a car can be a lot, but he made it simple and actually enjoyable. I’m really happy with my car and the experience overall. If you’re thinking about buying a car, I definitely recommend Frank at California Motor Direct. He knows what he’s doing and genuinely wants to help. 🙌

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 !

I came in and had a few obstacles. Nothing stopped Nick from pursuing all that I needed. His dedication and determination on getting me the car. Not just the car but the car that met everything I told him I needed in a car . If I would recommend anyone or any place it would be Nick at California Motors

I Absolutely would recommend California Motors Direct in the city of Montclair. Esteban was our sales rep and he went above and beyond the call of duty. He kept his promise and made sure we were completely satisfied and got us the best possible rate he could. My daughter was our cosigner and she didnt feel like coming so Esteban Followed us home over 60 miles So she could sign the paperwork. Who does that??? Esteban at California Motors Direct, thats who!!! Like I said over and beyond!!!! Thank you so much Esteban ❤️

I had an awesome experience buying my 2023 Hyundai Sonata, and Mo made the whole process smooth from start to finish. He was professional, honest, and actually listened to what I was looking for instead of trying to upsell me. Mo walked me through all the features of the Sonata, answered every question clearly, and made sure I felt confident with my decision. The process was straightforward, no pressure, and way easier than past dealership experiences I’ve had. If you’re looking for a great deal and someone who genuinely cares about customer satisfaction, I highly recommend asking for Mo. I couldn’t be happier with my car and the experience overall

I had such a great experience buying my 2017 Toyota from this dealership, and a huge part of that was thanks to Mohammad. From the very beginning, he was patient, honest, and truly took the time to understand what I was looking for. I never felt rushed or pressured, which made the entire process so much less stressful. He answered all my questions, explained everything clearly, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and confident with my decision. Thank you again for this amazing experience.
