    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 far so good bought a nice truck all the bells and whistles it's definitely a beautiful beast . Test drove it as well, sadly found a many minor flaws when I brought it home . When going over 60 down hill breaks shake it needs rotors, found a Chip in the driver side window, door light cover missing In the cab, no floor mats for the car included. However the transaction was fast and painless! Nice staff however I will say check the small details before you leave I'm low key pissed off I bought the truck in the rain at night at 7 months pregnant which was my bad ! I'm paying the cost now sighs! Other than that in and out ! Best of luck to y'all Check , double check and check again yall before signing! Will be calling to see if they are willing to do anything to help stay tuned !

    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

    Our experience at Baron Elite was top-tier. Arian does not feel like a car salesman in the best way…read morepossible. He was very honest about the history of the vehicle we went to see, addressed all the concerns we had with the history report as well. I may be wrong but I believe he is a one-man show. He purchases, inspects, repairs himself if viable, and sells the vehicles. He was also hands-off in the best way possible, letting us take our time looking over the vehicle without hovering so we could discuss any matters we wanted to without feeling like we were being listened in on. He allowed us to test drive the vehicle without him present and also took us for a test drive to display his confidence in the vehicle's performance. I believe all the vehicles he has listed on his website are at or below market value so his pricing is rather transparent. Similar vehicles we had gone to see were priced $1-2k more than what Arian had ours listed at. After purchase, we genuinely felt like Arian's main focus was not to sell us car and complete the sale, but to make sure we were confident in our purchase and made the decision that was right for us. I have already referred some family members and if I need another vehicle in the future, I will definitely be coming to Arian at Baron Elite first. Thank you Arian for the smoothest car buying experience we have ever had.

    Arian is a great honest guy, the buying process to my vehicle was very fast and smooth.read more

    We just bought a used car and brought back for tires change. Now the car is not driving the same,…read morelost acceleration and braking power. In addition, there are scratches on the car and crack in the windshield after the shop had the car for 2 1/2 hours for tire change. My advice is beware when bringing your car here for service because you may come out with more issues than when you come.

    This review a month after purchasing our car. My husband bought a Toyota RAV4 for a great deal…read more It's was my mom car. Such reliable car. My toddler loves it. David and Desiree are so professional and really do treat you like family . I definitely recommend them to all my friends and family. 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.
