    Me and my family have been coming here for years and have bought several cars from Sami and his Brothers. We just purchased another car for our growing family and are very Happy! They are a wonderful family oriented business and very much loyal to their customers. We've never had a car that wasn't worth the price or broken down on us. I still own the first car we bought from them 10 years ago and still runs great! We would definitely recommend them if your looking for a car to last you years on end!

    I had the pleasure of purchasing my first vehicle from Empire Auto on Thursday, October 14th, and I could not have asked for a better experience. Sam was so friendly and attentive to my family and helped us purchase the perfect vehicle to suit our needs. He made buying a car stress-free and easy. I didn't feel pressured to settle for something I didn't want, although all of the vehicles looked great, and Sam was very forthcoming with all of the background information on the vehicle. I plan on purchasing another vehicle in the future, and it will most definitely be from Empire. Highly recommend!

    Just bought a car (Ford Escape Hybrid) at Empire Auto in Hayward. The car looks fine so far, and Sam gave us a great deal!

We…read morebegan the process of applying for a HELOC with Patelco in March, and from the start, it was an absolute mess. I was forced to repeatedly chase down responses--constantly emailing and calling just to get basic updates and move the process forward. Emails would go completely ignored, and it would take multiple phone calls over several days to get any answers. We opted to pay for a BPO appraisal hoping it would increase the home value estimate. It actually came back lower, which dropped the loan amount--fine. But again, I had to initiate contact to even find that out. No communication. I was then told we had 10 days to accept the new amount. I clearly and directly confirmed over the phone with the loan agent that we were okay with the new loan amount and wanted to proceed. So imagine my shock when I received a notification 10 days later that our loan was denied because we supposedly never confirmed the new amount. I immediately contacted both the underwriter and the loan agent--no response. That was over 5 weeks ago. I've followed up since, and still, no one has had the decency or professionalism to respond. At this point, I wouldn't trust Patelco with a single cent of my money. They've shown a complete lack of competence, accountability, and respect for their clients' time. Not only have they lost my business for this HELOC, but they've lost me as a customer for life. What a truly unacceptable and disappointing experience.

    I was looking for a way to enter the EV market without breaking the bank. As a Honda fan (previous…read morevehicle was a 2010 CRV) I knew I could rely on the brand to offer something that was brilliant in quality and drivability. However, seeing that most of the inventory out there was brand new and out of my price range, I decided to look at older cars with EV/hybrid functionalities. I have to thank Ricky (Ricardo) and Mary Cao for not only their prompt and excellent service, but also their willingness to be honest and straightforward with me with the whole process. I truly felt like this experience was tailored for me, even though I already was decided on the 2018 Honda Clarity they had in stock. As a person who works in customer service as well I felt I knew these people made the taxing experience of shopping for a car easy and relaxing. And that is what we all want at the end of the day, trust and faith we will get what we desire. Kudos to you two and your team! One happy librarian.

Because they may have done some of the work I have 2 stars. We paid for a "tire inspection" and the paperwork says our tires were all "green" rating (all good) but when I called back to question it (just looking at the tires) and they said "oh yeah these actually need to be replaced". We had a slow leak they didn't find it and actually gave us BS tire pressure on the write up. I got home and it was 4 lbs below and our leak is not that fast. They could have easily done their job and upsold us 4 new tires. They upsold us on resurfacing front brakes but don't have ANY measurements on the wear and tear saying "any reputable mechanic will always resurface front only" but the quote was so high that it was a blessing that helped me find my new mechanic. So thank you for that.
