Just stopped into emblem leasing to pick up my new car and sign the paperwork in their office. I wanted to relate my experience. I was looking for a 7 seater SUV with leather with a 350 a month budget. You go ahead and try to do this; trust me it's no easy feat. After trying at various dealerships and failing and I called emblem leasing which is an auto brokerage. I didn't initially call because it seemed to me that going to the source would be better. Turns out that's not necessarily the case. I told Eli at emblem my budget and my needs. He said he'd have to try to come up with a car for me and that he'd get back to me after giving it some thought. He eventually called back suggesting the Kia Sorrento. Now I know what you're thinking..it's a Kia right? Well I was thinking the same thing but Eli convinced that Kia had really stepped up their game and I would be impressed. I went to test drive the car and wow I really was impressed. The car had the feeling of a Toyota or Honda feel. It drove really smoothly and I got the 6 cylinder which was really fast. I called Eli and told him I'd take the car. I told him I would come in to get pick it up just to be sure when I signed the paperwork. I stoped in. Everything was exactly as I wanted. It was the right model and color. I signed the paperwork and got going. The whole thing took twenty minutes and only because I had 100 questions about the car and the lease contract. Anyway I was very satisfied with my experience and will definitely use emblem for my next lease. read more

Great service. Eli the owner saved me a major headache and got me a great deal on my civic. I live in Southern California and travel between Los Angeles and San Diego. A car is really important on my "must-have" list. My old car broke down and I opted to lease a car instead of buying or financing a used car. I went down to the dealership because they had an effective ad campaign for a guy like me. I walked into a world that was full of high pressure sales tactics and I had no reference to know if I was getting a good deal or not. My gut told me to get a professional to help me who has my best interest at heart instead of caving in to dealership pressure to sign. I called a friend who recommended Emblem. I called Emblem from inside the dealership and like a lawyer Eli told me to not speak with the salesman until he arrives. He showed up 15 minutes later (15 awkward long minutes) and negotiated the entire deal on my behalf. Here is what he saved me, $100 per month, the sign off fee of over $2500.00. This guy showed up and rocked me a great deal. I would very much recommend his service and his negotiation skills but only when its on your behalf. I would hate to be on the other side of that table. Worth every penny. read more

I used emblem leasing after getting sick of haggling at dealerships for days on end every time I wanted a car. I called Eli and gave him my two car options. He told me he'd get back to me within the hour. He did and gave me a price on each car. They seemed like reasonable prices but I wanted to check to make sure. I called a dealership in my neighborhood and asked him if he could beat the price. When I told him what Eli quoted me he said "that's a good deal take it" and then rudely hung up. I tried one more dealership just to make sure. They asked if they beat that price would I come to them and I replied that it depends by how much. Well, they got back to me about a half hour later and gave me a cheaper price by 3 dollars a month then began repeating endlessly "when will you come in....". I politely informed them that the price difference they were offering was not enough to betray my loyalties. Additionally, they were harassing me to come in and Eli was going to have the car delivered to me. For that convenience alone the price difference was worth it. So I went ahead and got the car from emblem leasing feeling comfortable I was getting a good deal and dealing with pleasant people. Thank you emblem read more

I contacted Eli at emblem Leasing several months ago as my current lease is coming to an end. I was looking for a car in the 200$ range. Eli took my info and told me he would follow up with me once it got closer to me needing to turn in my lease. He actually followed up with me, which was my first check mark on the good customer service list. He quoted me for a Hyundai or a Kia and gave me the prices and what the car came with. He was extremely attentive and answered all of our questions (we had quite a few). We changed our mind several times and he was helpful with all our indecisiveness (check mark #2). We finally agreed on a car and Eli got us the final pricing on Friday. We set up to get the car on Monday. Sunday night he calls us to let us know he's able to get us a lease for an even better deal than he originally quoted us and was able to get the upgraded model...We were super impressed with his professionalism and the way he followed up with everything. Delivery of the car went super smooth. We couldn't be happier. Thank you emblem for making what is usually a painful process turn into a seamless pleasant transaction. read more

I love Emblem Leasing. When I was looking for a car I called several other prominent leasing companies first and I had the bad experiences with all of them. They didn't pick up the phone or call me back after leaving voicemails. After days of trying to reach them I finally got through, relayed the car I was looking for and left my info for a call back on the price. No one got back to me! At a third company I tried they called me back like 10 times trying to push the sale. I was beginning to think it was impossible to get good customer service in leasing. Then I called emblem and was pleasantly surprised. They will pick up the phone most of the time and when they don't they will promptly call you back. They never pushed a sale on me he simply told me a price and that I should let him know if I want it. I compared the price they had given me by calling somewhere else and found they were very competitive. I appreciated the straight up approach and decided to give them the business even though I could save a couple bucks a month going because they are respectful and helpful. I recommend them to anyone! read more

I wanted to lease a car for a while but my credit score was kind of poor and I didn't want to run it for no reason. I spoke to a few companies and they all told me "apply, it doesn't hurt to apply". The truth is, of course it hurts to apply, it lowers your credit score when you do. I was already struggling to get it back up the idea of a needless hit on my credit was not appealing. I came across Eli from Emblem through a friend and I brought up my situation. I told him my credit score and he told me he thinks I have a 60/40 chance of being approved. I asked him what he thinks I should do and he refused to give me an answer. He said I had to make my own decisions lol. He just gave me his professional advice on my situation but he wouldn't help me decide what to actually do. I ended up giving it a shot and decided to try through Emblem because I liked that Eli didn't push me to apply. At the end of the day, I got approved! It wasn't for the best rate but I was able to get the car I really needed so I'm happy about that. read more

I went to emblem for a new lease on an Audi A3. I also had my old car that I wanted to sell. They actually offered the service of assisting in selling my old car. They took the pictures, listed it and met with the prospective buyers. They ended up getting 600 dollars more for the car then I thought I would get for it. At that point I hadn't gotten my new car yet so Emblem leasing lent me one of their personal cars so I wasn't without a car for a day. When it came time to leasing the new car their price was really amazing and they completed the process very quickly. Everything was done through email and I only had to leave my house when I came outside to get the car and sign the contracts. Eli is very efficient and fast. Maybe even a little too fast for me. He likes to get things done. At the end of the day it was what I needed to make the leap to driving a brand new leased car. He gave me confidence and assured me every step along the way. Thank you Emblem leasing! read more

Eli is a friend of mine and I called him when I needed a car to get to work. I pretty much told him I need the cheapest lease possible. I like that he didn't try to push any cars on me after that so he would make more money. He recommended a Hyundai Elantra. It was a super good lease price and cheaper than advertised by the dealership. After a few days I made the decision and was ready to take the car. I called Eli and asked him how to proceed and where I would pick up the car. He told me that I didn't need to pick it up and he would deliver it. It was really nice to hear that cuz I really didn't want to go in to a dealership. We scheduled a delivery and the car was delivered on time with all the paperwork in hand. This whole experience was great. I was able to lease a car at a great price. I didn't have to deal with sleazy car dealers. I never had to drive anywhere. And I did everything completely over the phone. Thanks emblem leasing. read more

I was not sure whether I wanted to buy out my current lease because I loved my Honda Crosstour (and they stopped making them) or lease another car. My friend who lives in Los Angeles referred me to Eli because he felt that he would give me an honest opinion and also the best possible lease for the most similar car on the market. After discussing all the options available we decided on an Acura. He gave me the most amazing deal. It was a very tough decision but I decided to buy out my lease. I do not think that anyone in the leasing business, especially no one I dealt with in the past 20 years, would have spent the time and honestly talk over the options available without pushing his own agenda. After all I did not even lease a car. But when I will pass this car to my teenage son, and I will be in the market for my next lease, I will definitely get it from this dealer -- for his integrity and prices!! read more

I called emblem on a friend's recommendation. No one picked up so I left a voicemail. I got a call back about ten minutes later. The guy on the other line inquired what I was looking for and I relayed the information. He told me that he would get back to me within the hour. Sure enough I got a call back about 45 minutes later with a quote. Quoted seemed good but I'm a naturally skeptical guy so I had to make sure. Called another broker he told me to take the deal from emblem. Called a dealership and they told me they wouldn't match the deal. At that point I felt confident that I was getting a solid deal. I called emblem back and told them I'd take the car. They sent over a some paperwork and we figured out color options. When all was said and done the next day an emblem driver pulled up to my house with my car on the paperwork and that was it. Easy to work with and seems like good customer service. read more

I moved out to Los Angeles from New York for work. Shipping my car over was very expensive. From a financial standpoint it made more sense to pass along my lease to somebody else and to lease myself a new car out here. I gave my old car to my younger brother. Work out here started a week after I moved out and I still needed to find a car. I didn't really know any companies out here but went through some adds and after a few phone calls I found Emblem leasing. I spoke with a sales rep named Eli who was very nice, helpful and gave me a good deal on my Q50. The car was delivered to my driveway in 4 days. Overall I'm extremely happy with my experience, it made my move out here a little less stressful. I would recommend them to anyone who may ask me for a leasing company in the future. Thank you Eli and thank you Emblem. read more

I became sick of driving old used cars and worrying about problems arising all the time so decided to try leasing. I was oblivious to how it worked, how much it should cost and really everything about leasing in general. A friend of mine suggested emblem would be helpful so I gave them a call. I spoke with Eli and he was extremely helpful. I told him a budget and he gave me a variety of cars in my price range. His prices were far lower than dealer advertised prices. He walked me through the whole process, explained how leasing works. It was painless and simple. The best part is when people how much I paid for my lease they always exclaim "what a good deal"! So I know emblem did right by me. I would recommend them to anyone! At least to give them a call and see what you'd be paying on a specific car. read more

I have been leasing high end cars for quite some time, dealing with all these dealerships over the years is very stressful and exhausting having to drive to them to fill out applications, having to go there and spend a few hours dropping off the old car and picking up the new one it can take almost a full day. One of my golfing buddies happened to have recently leased a car from emblem and i was at his house when his new car was being delivered and i was amazed how efficient, professional, and quick it was. They brought all paperwork to his home to sign and he got everything done while relaxing by the pool. When they were done the driver took back the old car as well. My car that i currently have is up at the end of the month and i know EMBLEM will take care of everything. Audi S8 here we come!!! read more

I called emblem because I was interested in leasing a car. I spoke with Eli, and he patiently explained the leasing process and answered all of my questions about leasing. I have never leased a car before and am generally very intimidated by car dealers etc. and in past experiences with dealerships I would never feel comfortable asking questions. Eli made sure that I got all of the information I needed and really went out of his way to make sure I was confident in the process. As it turns out, I likely won't be leasing a new car for a few months due to my personal circumstances at the movement. Even after I came to that conclusion, Eli was still willing to help me out, and I didn't feel any pressure from Eli. I will definitely be coming back to Emblem when I am ready to lease! read more

I was looking for a good deal for a car lease in the 300 dollar range. I went from car dealership to dealership. All their leases were too expensive for what I wanted. A friend of mine said he knew Eli from emblem and I should give him a call. When I called Eli was personable and eager to share his knowledge of car leasing. He found me the car I wanted and was within my budget. There wasn't any endless negotiating like at a car dealership where at the end of it all I'm confused and unsure if I'm even getting a good deal. Eli gave me a great price right away and there were no gimmicks. When i got the car it was delivered to my work perfectly on time during my lunch break. I signed the paperwork in a few minutes and was done. So simple, easy and well priced. Thanks emblem! read more

Really professional service and a stellar deal too. It was time to say goodbye to my old vw. I was looking to get a new car for the first time. This was a big deal since I would always select the typical LA used car option. I went down to a dealership but their sales pressure was too much and I was too uninformed and did not want to give in to their shady sales tactics. My friend mentioned that she got her new lease from Emblem. I figured I have nothing to lose and called. Eli was super professional and asked me the basic questions and then said he would call me back with options. He called back within an hour and had 5 different makes and models all within my budget. I am happy to say that a new Kia Sorrento was delivered to my house the next day. read more

This was our first time working with emblem and we decided to give them a try off a friend's recommendation. Eli is very easy to work with and knows everything about the business. When we called him we had already priced out the car at a dealership. He told us he'd call back the next day with a quote as it was already late in the day. Sure enough the next morning he gave us a call and a quote that beat the dealers price by a significant amount. Eli isn't about trying to make a killing on every car. He is about providing well priced leases and good service while still making a profit. We went with emblem instead of the dealership and the car was delivered to us the next day. It's not even a question give emblem a call when you're looking for a car. read more
