Empire Auto - Car Dealers Near Me - Hayward, California

I was looking for a specific car (Kia Soul) and found one via CarFax App and it was to be found at Empire Auto. Sam was so nice over the phone and invited us to come on down. He assured the process would be quick and we could be on our way before they closed. When we arrived, we were greeted by a very clean and orderly lot. The car we asked about was right in front ready for inspection/test drive. The car was exactly as described online... which is HUGE! We have been shopping for a while and this is not always the case. From there, we started the paperwork in the office. Again, professional, swift and we were on our way with a new (to us) vehicle. Very genuine person and we enjoyed the process - Thank You Empire Auto!! read more

I would highly recommend this dealer. Had a good experience buying our Volvo from Sam. He and his brother were great to work with. Sam is honest and knows his cars inside out. He was easy to work with and no pressure tactics either. We knew exactly the car and year we wanted and looked at a lot of cars at different dealerships. The one we found at Empire was easily the best we saw. Great condition and a fair price too. They have a lot of nice cars on their lot and I feel like they want their customers to walk away happy with their purchase just like we did. We have no regrets buying from them. I'm sure we'll be back next time we're in the market for a car. read more

Quick efficient and great pricing ! Empire Auto caters to your needs with valued cars. Had the pleasure working along side Sammy who was truly genuine and funny throughout the process and on top of that pushed the paper process along pretty fast . Couldn't have more higher praises . Thank you Empire Auto ! read more

My daughter just turned 18 and just got her license. So now we are in the market to find her a car. I found a perfect car for her at Empire's lot. Sam was patient with me with the process in order to get my daughter finance for the car. I admit I gave him a run for his money since I knew that I can make the process so much easier by just purchasing the car under my name. He got the job done after quite a few hours. He made sure that I was pleased with the deal and making sure that my daughter was the one being financed with me only as a co-signer. If you're in the market for a car with low mileages and a great price stop here first. Thank you again Sam. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Empire Auto - 2017 Chrysler Town & Country - Car Dealers Near Me - Hayward, California

Amendment to review: My Boyfriend had to put $3,000 into fixing the car because it had a screeching sound when reversing and found that the car had been an accident and not properly fixed. There was still glass in the car from the accident! And today we found out that the car has 13 outstanding tickets from a previous owner that we were now meant to be responsible for. It obviously seems that we were played by this dealer who sold us a car with problems. read more

I had a great and seamless experience. Came in to get a used truck & left with said truck! Mubin helped me get an incredible deal on financing & was super easy to work with. Definitely a delaership that cares about their customers! read more

I bought a 2008 Honda Civic from them a while back. They even helped me get financing for the car since I couldn't drop the whole amount at that moment. They were knowledgeable and helped me through every step of the way. I felt comfortable and was glad with being able to get the car Inquired for. I did have 2 setbacks though and that is the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars. 1. As soon as the transaction was over and payment was taken and all of the paperwork was signed they handed me the keys and peeled off the big price stickers off of the windshield. Little did I know there was a giant crack in the windshield exactly behind where the sticker was. I was pretty mad but I had signed everything and had already paid so not much I could do at that point. Replacing the windshield cost me around 300 to replace. 2. Bought the car on a Wednesday and took it for a road trip on the weekend. On the way back on Sunday just 4 days later the battery died on me. Was stuck on the road. Got the battery tested and indeed it was bad. Was pretty mad again after buying this car the battery was bad which is something would have known since it was only 4 days later. All in all they helped me and I really wanted to give them 5 stars but because of the bad windshield and battery I feel like they got not one but two over on me. Grateful for their service but would not go back because of my experience. read more

Empire was a great choice for me to buy a BMW. They are helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. I work in San Francisco and didn't have time to drive back across the bridge, so Mubin took the time to delivere the vehicle to my workplace which made it very convenient. I appreciate him going the extra mile(s) for me. read more

I am writing this review to acknowledge exceptional customer service from Empire Auto in Hayward with Sammy and his supervisor. My husband received orders working for the government and my family of 6 had to pack up in with only a few weeks' notice to head overseas. Part of our process was having to ship our car out of the port of Los Angeles. When preparing to do so, we noticed we did not have our Title for the car, so we applied for a duplicate Title, but it was over the holidays and it was taking too long to arrive. The shipment company made an exception, if we could provide documentation from the company we purchased the vehicle from stating, the car was purchased in full, with no lien, and had no interest in the vehicle. We purchased the vehicle from Empire Auto over 4 years prior, so I gave them a call with my fingers crossed, and I spoke with Sammy and told him the situation. He reported the situation to his supervisor, and they were agreeable to help us out---it was such a HUGE relief. They did not particularly remember us, but we provided the VIN and we still had a copy of the cashier's check we paid with and some other supporting documents, we emailed them over and in less than 1 hour we had the memo that we needed. It was a huge deal to us and we were able to ship our car before the deadline. When we initially purchased our vehicle from Sammy, the experience was great, he was immensely helpful and honest. The car has been in fantastic shape and has served our family well. The customer service Sammy and Empire Auto provided 4 years after we purchased our vehicle was excellent, and I recommend Auto Empire for their product and their customer service without reservation. When a company is willing to help out a family in need without anything in return, it is a true reflection of the integrity of the company and the people working there, and we are so thankful. Thank you Empire Auto of Hayward! read more

They will get you what you want! You dont have to settle for a crap car at some other dealer. Come to EMPIRE AUTO THEY ARE THE BEST THANKS GUYS! read more

Empire Auto - Thanks Mubin! Empire auto is the best in the west! - Car Dealers Near Me - Hayward, California

I definitely recommend Empire Auto! I was a first time car buyer and was super nervous about making my first purchase. However, I contacted the dealership through email and received a quick response. There was no pressure to buy the car and every question I had was answered. When it came down to viewing the car, I was able to take it for a test drive and do a full Inspection on the vehicle. I love the fact that all of the vehicles sold on the lot are clean title. I also found comfort in viewing the carfax at no cost. I really appreciate Empire Auto and there ability to work with you and get you the best deal on a car loan. :) I am now a proud owner of a clean 2007 Toyota Rav4! There have been no problems with the car and I am 100% happy with my decision to shop at Empire Auto! read more

We received great service here the other day from our salesman, Sam. He was very professional and accommodating. He did not push any sales to us and was informative of policies and cars. He ensured he had the right answers for us before he proceeding to answer our questions. He was also very communicative, especially on the phone when we were interested in a car, which prompted us to drive 50 minutes to see the dealership after seeing an ad online. We ended up leaving with a car after Sam got us a good deal on it. We visited during the weekend, and Sam even accommodated us by offering to order a second key for our car on Monday when the certified car companies are open. Will update when that is fulfilled. As far as I can tell, Empire Auto is an honest, family-owned business that we have had the pleasure of doing business with. read more

My experiences with Empire Auto were very bad. During the sale I was forced into signing GAP insurance. I was told they would not approve financing (through another company) without GAP insurance. That is illegal. (financed GAP insurance will add thousands of dollars to the contract purchase price and you can never be told it is required). But I went ahead with it anyway after reading the fine print I could cancel the insurance within 30 days. So.. I bought the car and waited about 20 days and then I cancelled. It was a hassle, Empire Auto didn't pick up their certified mail so I had to send another letter by regular mail. I went through quite a lot just to cancel and then the amount was finally taken off the loan amount. It was fortunate I saved money from that fiasco because almost immediately I had to repair the air conditioning. Over about two years I have had to put in around $3,000 in repairs. They say cars have been gone over and inspected with oil changes but it isn't true. Just after I bought the car I learned how to check the oil status and it was within 50% of needing an oil change. Finally, I waited about 5 months for my DMV paperwork and I got a ticket for having expired tags (yes, even with the dealer notice in the front window). When I called Empire Auto for it, the guy who answered was like, oh yeah, its here. They never bothered to mail it to me. Go in fully prepared with these guys and check the vehicles thoroughly. read more

Empire Auto provided us with an awesome car! Sam and his staff are very good about getting the cars in tip top shape before selling them. We are super pleased. read more

I had a great experience with this dealership, they found the best interest rate for me even though my credit was low. They were very detailed about the car and even offered a 2nd key at a low price. I would recommend anyone looking for a nice vehicle to go here, they have carfax (one time owner) cars there too. Great price & great service. Thank you, Bobbie read more

Nice friendly guys that will promise you that their cars are perfectly fine. In our case, we test drove the vehicle and could tell that brakes and suspension issues existed. We're certain dealership knew about the problems, but said it was because the car had been sitting. They promised to fix the problems, but assured us their mechanic had run the car through a thorough check. We were shown a clear Carfax, then right at paper signing, they produced another Carfax with an accident showing on it. Fortunately, we able to have a Honda dealer check out the vehicle before signing, and they detected a number of items that made the car unsafe to drive (bad struts, bad brakes, bad alignment that could indicate an accident although the frame check out good). Empire refused to fix the items hiding behind the AS IS clauses in their contract. In any case, PLEASE be sure to do the following if buying from Empire, or any other used car dealer: 1). Check their record on yelp 2). Check their record with BBB 3). Test drive the car under various terrain/roads/hills/speeds, etc. If you can, ride in the back seat while someone else drives. This can help you catch some suspension issues you might not feel from the front seat. 4). Pull your own Carfax. Don't trust the dealerships. 5). Check on it's smog maintenance history. Make sure the last smog check is within 90 days. 6). GET A PRE-SALES inspection from a qualified mechanic. I prefer to take the car to a dealer of the same brand as the vehicle and run it through one of their certification checks. 7). Get any promises to repair/correct in writing BEFORE signing contracts. Afterwards, they dealer has little incentive to comply. We had to walk away from this car, and it cost us $150, but that was well worth it. Be careful out there! read more
