    Ray and myself after closing the deal on the car
    Alex P.

    I recently worked with Rafik (Ray) Babakhani at Empire Auto to lease my new car, and he exceeded every expectation. I had a very specific request -- exact color and package -- and Ray delivered precisely what I wanted at a much better price than any other dealership or broker had quoted. What stood out most was his outstanding responsiveness and professionalism throughout the entire process. From initial discussions through contract, financing, and delivery, Ray was incredibly responsive and handled every step smoothly. Any small issues that arose were resolved quickly and proactively, making the whole experience stress-free. If you're looking to lease or buy a car, I highly recommend Rafik Babakhani at Empire Auto. He's knowledgeable, transparent, and truly customer-focused. Thank you, Ray -- you made everything easy!

    The interior

    I worked with Alex on trading in my car and leasing my everything I want car. You might see a lot of luxury vehicles via these guys but I knew I wanted a reliable hybrid, beautiful interior, and to for it to still feel luxurious even if it wasn't a Mercedes. Not only was he on it the minute we first chatted but he got my car and a new car taken care of in less than 48 hours. I don't have family in la to do these intimidating tasks with, Alex was THE guy! Can't sing his praise more!!! They might make things sound too good to be true but they really are that fast, professional, and networked.

    Thank you Alex for my beautiful new Hyundai. Amazing to work with and gets the process going super fast!!

    With a dream car that I got faster than it takes to be in a dream!

    Dro is a literal Rockstar! If you are reading reviews looking for the right person to help you, stop scrolling and ask for Dro. I'm not exaggerating when I say he got me into this 2026 KIA Carnival Hybrid faster than I was able to order lunch! Dro is hands down the best broker in town. He will completely change your perspective on what getting a car is like. The process was clear, amazing, and incredibly fast--from start to finish, the whole deal was done in less time than it takes to order a meal, eat, and walk out. If you want your dream family car without the headache, go see Dro at Empire Auto Sales & Leasing. He's the best in the game!

    Mr. Alex K. and new owner (me)

    Hmm...Where to start off, I've got to say that the moment we arrived about 6:30pm (end of day for me) Mr. Alex was waiting with warm & welcoming smiles ready to continue his day (well into the night might I add 8:30PM). This was my FIRST time EVER deciding to get a new car for myself and Alex guided me thru the whole process with great attention to detail, consideration and patience. I never felt rushed or confused in the process and Alex was able to answer ALL my questions with ease. The following day I picked up my vehicle, and couldn't be happier. Thank you again for your time and patience. I highly recommend Empire and their associates. Thank you

    Thank you Empire Auto Sales & Leasing, You guys helped me a lot to get my dream car. You all are awesome people and special thx to Dro, he is amazing, kind, friendly and, brilliant person. I truly recommend everyone to buy or lease their cars from Empire Auto because you invest your time, effort and money in to the right place. Thank you all!

We've never met, and I don't know her personally, but from the moment she answered the phone, I could genuinely feel her kindness, positivity, and welcoming spirit. She made me feel valued as a customer before I even stepped foot in the dealership. I'm scheduled to come in on Tuesday, August 4, to purchase a vehicle, and thanks to Geysa, I'm truly looking forward to the experience. I don't know every CarMax location, but if Geysa is a reflection of the customer service at CarMax Burbank, then they've set the bar incredibly high--not just for other CarMax locations, but for dealerships throughout the Los Angeles area. Geysa's energy, professionalism, and genuine warmth immediately made me feel welcome. She turned a simple phone call into an experience I'll remember, and that's something special. Thank you, Geysa, for making such a positive first impression. I can't wait to meet you in person!

As customers were greeted and assisted, we continued to wait. There were 4 employees standing near the customer service area speaking amongst themselves. Around 10 minutes later, we were still not greeted or assisted. Due to the employees lack of acknowledgment, we began to get frustrated. I approached the group of employees that were standing nearby, and asked if we could get assistance. The employees all looked to one another, then 1 employee stepped forward. This employee asked if we had an appointment, to which I replied no. The employee stated that they do not take walk-ins after 6 o'clock. He continued to ask questions such as, have you been a customer before, do you know what kind of car you're looking for. To which I replied yes. This employee then continued to speak, explaining that they do not accept walk-ins after this time so the availability of their workers. After receiving this information my family and I left. I don't have an issue with their policy or procedures regarding walk-ins. I have an issue with the lack of professionalism and customer service. There were several employees available who could have stated this information upon our arrival. However they continued to ignore my family and I. A little courtesy and respect goes a long way. Clearly the employees here don't possess those qualities. While I possesses an appraisal offer for my trade in vehicle, I will seek service elsewhere.

After the demo he signed me up so I could take it home Overnight. I fell in love with the Tesla! I'm in my 60s and the new way of purchasing a vehicle is new to me. Isaiah answered all my questions, was responsive to all of my text messages, and helped me locate a vehicle. During my purchase I had many questions and Isaiah was very professional, very responsive to all my needs. If it weren't for Isaiah, I probably wouldn't have purchased a Tesla. There were times that he was extremely busy, but always found the time to respond to me in a timely manner. I highly recommend seeing Isaiah in Burbank if you are interested in purchasing a Tesla!! He is the Best!

I've leased two luxury vehicles through them, and most recently I helped my elderly aunt and uncle lease a new car as well. This time we worked with Arpi to secure a lease on a Kia Sportage Hybrid, and she was absolutely incredible. She is genuinely one of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She was endlessly patient, accommodating, and responsive to every question, request, and preference we had throughout the process. My aunt and uncle had a lot of specific needs, and I honestly think many people would have walked away from the deal because it required so much extra time and effort. Instead, Arpi handled everything with kindness, professionalism, and grace. She never once made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. Her manager was equally wonderful, approving several special requests to make sure my aunt and uncle were comfortable and happy with their lease. After working with this company for the third time, I can confidently say I won't use anyone else. Their customer service, patience, honesty, and pricing are truly unmatched. If you're looking for a car broker you can trust, I couldn't recommend them more highly.

It's disappointing to drive an hour, wait around, and then be treated disrespectfully when I followed the instructions provided through the dealership's own scheduling system.
