    My baby, Singularity!

    Two weeks ago, their "Customer Happiness" department contacted me to offer $200 in exchange for removing my review. Kevin, no thanks. Your company doesn't get to overcharge me for $2500 and face no repercussions. To anyone who will read these reviews before going in: they are now paying people to have bad reviews removed. They are not fixing their problem. No one has been fired for every single negative interaction with a client (all done by the same three guys). They want to sweep everything under the rug so that they can continue to scam people. Do not be fooled. Check out the recent positive reviews. It's all gibberish or from accounts that have not reviewed any other business. No details about what happened, no photos about the vehicle they bought. It's very obvious these reviews are friends of the employees. Good luck, Fontana Motors Direct. Keep offering pennies to buy off the scams your associates committed. It won't work.

    I had a wonderful experience here. I don't know a lot about cars so it was pretty intimidating to come in, but Jeff melted away all my worries. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and patient throughout the entire process. I never felt rushed or pressured and he went above and beyond to make sure I got what I wanted. I would highly recommend Fontana if you are looking for a stress free car buying experience.

    I've personally had a good experience at the Santa Ana location-- even purchased my Honda civic from them back in 2019. I referred my friend who was looking for a new car. I didnt even know they had a Fontana location so we came here since it was closer to her. We were helped by Omar who was very knowledgeable and quickly responded with any follow up questions thru texts. They had a wide selection of vehicles available here so don't hesitate to stop by in person-- they have something for everyone!

    I had a fantastic experience at Fontana Motors Direct! Adrian was my salesperson and he was amazing from start to finish. George also helped with all the paperwork and made everything easy and stress-free. Kenny, the finance manager, was great to work with, and Omar the general manager was very friendly and helpful. Honestly, I have no complaints at all. The whole process went smoothly and I had everything I needed. If you're planning to buy a car, make sure you come prepared with your insurance card, down payment, bank statement, and ID so everything moves quickly and smoothly. The team is very experienced, professional, and friendly. They really work with you to make sure you leave happy. They also have a huge selection of cars and great employees ready to help. My car was cleaned, full of gas, and completely ready to go when I picked it up. That extra care meant a lot. I would definitely come back and highly recommend Fontana Motors Direct to anyone looking for a great car-buying experience!

    My review 1/3

    I purchased a Kia Telluride on 04/13/26. I worked with Austin who is the sales manager, Dylan helped with the paperwork, & Kenny the finance manager was supposed to help resolve my issue. Long story short, this dealership is flaky, shady & I would not do business with them again. I had to get a tire replaced the day after purchasing & pay for a Kia Dealership to give me peace of mind that my vehicle is safe to drive because of the faulty work this dealership did. Also, I was told I could get reimbursed for the inspection done at Kia & then I received no response from Fontana Motors. If you want the full story, keep reading. After test driving the vehicle, before purchasing, I noticed it needed an alignment done because it was pulling to the left, the leather seats were stained (the previous owner probably had children) & inside the car in general was dirty & dusty (which is odd they didn't detail the car before posting it for sale) & there was a little piece missing to hold up the glove box. Austin agreed to work on all those issues & I just needed to take the vehicle back another day. I knew I wanted the car, I thought they were pretty simple issues so I didn't mind taking it back. When completing the paperwork with Dylan, the Carfax showed that there was a minor accident to the back left side of the vehicle but that the accident didn't cause the airbags to deploy so I purchased the vehicle thinking it was repaired to factory specs & an alignment & car detailing would be a simple fix. After purchasing the car & taking it home, I realized front, left tire was different than the rest & it was bald, so I went ahead & had the tire replaced. About 4 days after purchasing the car, I called Austin about scheduling an alignment & detailing appointment. I called twice & he did not answer either time then he responded via text to tell me he was busy with three other customers and to give him a second, but I did not receive a response after that. I texted Austin to tell him to call me & I believe I called & left him a voicemail also. Austin eventually got back to me via text to bring in the vehicle on Monday morning. On 4/20/25 my partner took my car back in for alignment. It was discovered that vehicle needed lower control arm replaced so he was told they were going to order the part & get back to us when the part was in so I could take my car back. 10 days go by so I text Austin about dropping off my car to replace the lower control arm. No response. I called & left a voicemail. About another 4 days go by & I hadn't heard from Austin so I contact him to ask if I could drop off the vehicle for service. He answered this time and said to bring the vehicle in- this was on a Monday. My vehicle was taken in to replace the lower control arm, replace the missing part for the glove box, and upholstery detail the leather seats. On Thursday afternoon I call Austin to ask if my vehicle was ready for pick up no response but I believe I left a voicemail. I call the dealership directly to ask if my vehicle was ready for pick up- this was around 8pm. Madyson answered the phone and said she would check with the mechanics and give me a call back. No call back. The next morning I call the dealership again to ask if my vehicle was ready for pick up. George answered the phone and said he would check and give me a call back. No call back. On Friday evening, my vehicle is finally ready for pick up & I spoke with (Adrian, Adele/Odell 1 person gave me 2 names). He had me test drive the car around the dealership parking lot & he asked how the vehicle felt since the mechanics worked on the lower control arm. I told him it felt fine but I wouldn't really know until I actually drove the car so he said to text him if I was having any issues, however, he didn't give me his contact information. I asked for a copy of the receipt for the lower control arm part & a copy of the work order of the mechanics who worked on my vehicle. I was told that I would not be able to receive a receipt because the dealership purchases parts wholesale and that any receipt they could provide me would not look like a receipt from "AutoZone" (his words exactly). I told him that any receipt they could provide would be sufficient. Adrian said he would ask the mechanics manager for the work order and see what document they could send to me. I asked Adrian, how would they be able to purchase a lower control arm wholesale? If this part is specific to my vehicle and I was told the part would be specially ordered. He said he would contact the mechanics manager to see what document they could send me. Later this evening, I noticed rattling when driving my vehicle. I mentioned it to my partner & over the weekend, he also noticed the rattling & the car was still pulling to the left. So I don't believe they did an alignment (which was the original issue) after replacing the control arm.

    If I could go lower for a rating, I would. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. To start, I went in with my mom with the intention of both of us leaving with a car. You'd think the employees weren't getting commission the way that Dylan was unbearably rude as soon as he was put to help. While Isaiah was super kind and helpful, Dylan comes up and starts questioning me about the car I chose without even reading or knowing the specs on what I chose. Along with that, as soon as my mom was upset enough with them to walk out, suddenly Dylan disappeared without any word and left me waiting for my paperwork (that he never ended up handing me) for 45 minutes and avoided eye contact the whole time he was walking around and talking to other customers. As if that wasn't enough, I left my car with them for two weeks allegedly to get detailed and repaired. When it came time where I was concerned because I didn't have paperwork, hadn't been contacted, and was getting worried that they just took my deposit and ran, every one who answered the phone hung up on me or pretended to transfer me. When it FINALLY came time for me to get my car, the only things repaired was the torn wheel cover and windshield. It was NOT detailed like they promised, there was gum stuck to the side of the drivers side carpet, the headlights were still dingy yellow (despite Dylan guaranteeing it would be handled), there was trash under the seats, stains not addressed, an old air filter so dirty that the car stunk horribly. I don't even know if they did change the break pads like Dylan guaranteed. Either way, the car shakes despite both of us signing a "we're not selling you a lemon" agreement. This is my first car and I am unbelievably disappointed with this whole ordeal. My mom suggested I reach out to the BBB to get them investigated for their poor business practices and lying about the services they promised were going to do to the car. Enjoy the pic of the air filter they left me with (that I dusted out of leaves) next to the new one I had to buy a week after having the car.

    Absolutely terrible experience. We drove out to this dealership for a 2014 Ford F-150 Lariat listed…read moreat $13,995. My boyfriend had already test-driven the truck earlier that morning and was under the impression that we could purchase it for around $15,500 out the door, including taxes and reasonable fees. Before going, I looked up the dealership and saw its 2.4 star Yelp rating with over 1,300 reviews. Many of the one star reviews described the exact same experience we ended up having. Unexpected markups, mandatory add-ons, and misleading pricing. I wiiiish he would've listened when I tried telling him this. When we arrived, we were left standing outside in the heat for over 10 minutes waiting for the truck, only to be told that it had supposedly been taken for a test drive. We were then told it would be another 10-20 minutes. At that point, I asked that we simply discuss the numbers. The truck was advertised at $13,995, and we came prepared to pay the listed price plus taxes and reasonable processing fees. Once we made it clear that we were not interested in unnecessary add-ons, the price suddenly jumped to around $20,000. For a USED 2014 truck with approximately 150,000 miles, they were trying to justify thousands of dollars in additional charges for things like door/rubber protection and other add-ons that we never asked for and are apparently non-negotiable to begin with. Almost like that should've been added in the original pricing! When we questioned the massive price difference, the salesman repeatedly avoided giving a straight answer and eventually hit us with, "Well, we have to make money somehow." Yes, dealerships need to make money, but that doesn't justify advertising a vehicle for $13,995 and then attempting to add roughly $5,000 in undisclosed charges once the customer is sitting in front of you. The salesman also tried to explain that taxes and pricing "vary by city," as if that somehow justified the enormous difference between the advertised price and the final quote. In Fontana you can expect to pay 1,300 for the exact vehicle mentioned (not $5,000). I have no idea why he thought it would be worth trying to argue to begin with. Classic bait-and-switch sales tactic. If the truck was actually $20,000 after mandatory dealer additions, then advertise it for $20,000 instead of $13,995. We could have saved ourselves the time if he had simply listened to all those one-star reviews describing the same exact behavior I had showed him IN THE FIRST PLACE. Save yourself the time. Ask for the out the door price BEFORE making the drive, and get every fee and add-on in writing.

Sunrise Ford however, removed much of that anxiety and concern from my head. I called in Saturday afternoon, knowing what vehicle I was interested in after seeing it listed online I was connected with Larry, who I later learned was a new salesman to the dealership, despite having many years of experience. Larry was able to provide me with the Carfax for the vehicle, as it was used, additional photos, pricing information, and had the vehicle ready and waiting for me when I arrived later that afternoon. Larry was very kind and upfront with all the information I needed to know and allowed me to peruse the vehicle at my leisure. When I was ready to make my purchase, Larry made things simple and guided me through every step and assured me with confidence and expertise. Above all, Larry was kind he was honest and he was fun to talk to and work with. He stayed on top of everything and communicated perfectly. The only thing I didn't get was a bow on my car, but he still made it happen by borrowing one from the showroom so that I could take my photos which he also took for me. With this being my experience thus far, I have no question that they will continue to take care of me should I have any hiccups or questions. Thank you, Larry and thank you Sunrise Ford. Larry, I pray you go very far in this industry.

So when my appointment finally came around today, I was told the coupon could not be honored because it was expired. Seriously? You send a customer a coupon on 7/27, give them until 7/31 to use it, and then have no appointment availability before it expires -- yet somehow the customer is expected to take the loss? I would have expected Rock Honda to recognize the situation and simply honor the coupon. Instead, there was no willingness to work with me, so I canceled my appointment. Thank you, Rock Honda, for the "convenience" of wasting my time. ‍ I understand that coupons have expiration dates, but customer service should include some common sense and flexibility when the dealership's own appointment availability prevents the customer from using the offer. After this experience, I'll seriously reconsider where I take my vehicle for future service. A simple oil change shouldn't be this difficult.
