    Got my nissan leaf for a great deal! :)
    Katie B.

    My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience buying our 2017 Nissan leaf here. From start to finish everyone was very honest & genuine with us, and you could definitely tell that they had a passion for making sure we went home with a great car & a great deal. They also let us take the car for about 2 hours to Metro Nissan to ensure there was no work that needed to be done, and there wasn't! She's in great condition, and I would highly recommend checking them out and supporting a local business when searching for a used car :) Thanks again!

    They said the tire was good for couple thousand miles. Purchased car 9/15/2018 and I had to get all new tires on 10/13/2018...

    Late review, but I want to prevent people from getting hustled from this scandalous dealership. It's hard to make money out there, and these folks want to take advantage of people who have no knowledge about cars. I have a record that I had to replace my tires less than a month after purchasing this car back on 9/18/2018. Ray and their technician at Empire Motors said the tires were good for a couple of thousand miles, but I still went to get it inspected because the low air pressure kept being on while driving. I went to Americas Tire in Costa Mesa on 10/13/2018, and the technician said it's very dangerous to drive with these tires on because of the big gouge and a very low tread. Ray replied in my review, "I am not sure if you are just trying to hurt a small business with your reviews and what joy you get of this. Your reviews are certainly doubtful at best and we are so very disappointed." I do not get joy out of this Ray-san. You have dishonored your family and your business by lying to your customers. You are trying to pull out the victim's card saying that I am hurting local small businesses. However, you are taking advantage of hard-working Californians of their money! People of Yelp, please heed my call and stay away from Empire Motors. Yours Sincerely, Minsoo Choi

    So happy me and my husband found this place! After going to other car lots we came across Empire Motors and Monique who helped us out was very nice and knowledgeable answering all our questions and concerns. We needed a 2nd car and a affordable one too and this For Focus SE was exactly what we were looking for! We definitely had a good experience and were very satisfied with the customer service. Great place!

    See all

Car looked in great condition and beautifully detailed And it was definitely something that I was interested in. And I sent the information to my mechanic friend, and he said that the mileage that it was at was going to require it To get a certain service. After verifying that with toyota about this specific Highlander. I was so willing to get this vehicle, but I wanted it to be discounted for the price of the repairs that I was going to do on it within a week because of the mileage that required it to be done at that time. And without it it would not be a good outcome for this car. So I ask for the discount in between the price that both my friend mechanic and toyota quoted. And there was no budge. Great interaction, great communication, great cars. But yeah, if you're aware, and I'm aware a situation that requires a price discount. I think I should get it if i'm still willing to buy the vehicle just my thought.

I could go on-on telling you all the positive things that's happened to us while pursing with them. The previous month we unfortunately purchased a car with (OfferUp) lost 6k on a jeep. Please don't purchase your car from (OfferUp ) go to Euclid auto Sale .You won't regret it. We had the best experience. While my husband was filling out the paperwork he left his wallet. David found it and gave it right to him. Desiree offer us cold drinks and canyon for my 2 year old. David even replace our radio . Which he definitely didn't have to do. That volume wouldn't go down . I took it in the morning expecting to wait in the waiting room. Nope they even took me home . Company like this definitely gives me faith in good people again. Huge thank you! I'm so grateful for David and Desiree.

    The salesman was quite nice but it's "dealer policy" to add $1600 worth of "mandatory" paint and…read moreinterior protection to the advertised price of used cars (a practice the FTC has recently warned is illegal). I was there to see a high mileage car, this was well over 10% of the value of the vehicle, so the advertised price was meaningless. They offered to remove some of it (but still weren't willing to sell the car for the advertised price), also weren't willing to allow for a pre-purchase inspection. I wasn't enamored enough with the car to make those concessions. Edit to add: I was specifically told that the added items were mandatory and they would not take the entire price off. The "dealing" started at $1600 over the advertised price (on a $13000 car) and they brought it down to about $500 over the advertised price, while telling me that I was actually getting a deal because the addon package price was going up to over $2000. This car had 107K miles on it, I was not looking to buy a paint protection package. I was told they price the vehicles low to "be at the top of the search" and then add the added items to bring the price up to what they are willing to sell the car for. This is explicit false advertising. This wasn't a miscommunication, the deal sheet was quite clear and I was told they would not go any lower. If they were willing to sell the car for the advertised price I would have written a check on the spot. They also declined to allow me to leave a deposit so I could have a mobile mechanic come for a PPI, and while they offered to sell me a 3 day option to return for $250 they also said if I did need to return it there would be a restocking fee of "at least $500." I kind of laughed at the idea that if a mechanic found a major issue their inspection missed they'd charge us more money.
