    New Lexus NX
    Elizabeth V.

    "Wake up in the morning feelin like P Diddy" -- remember that Ke$ha song? I'm livin it in my new Lexus NX !! I reached out to my auto broker Robert Robinson back in April to see if he could get me out of my Ford lease (I've had 3 in a row and the company has burned me.) The deal wasn't good timing for me, but in June I remembered how professional and knowledgeable Robert was. I really liked his style and how quickly he responded to calls or emails, delivering outstanding service. So when I saw the Lexus NX hit the streets, I was like BINGO. ROBERT!!! Now the amazing thing is the payment. I'm paying $10 less per month on this Lexus lease (it's got 14 miles on it currently, I'm over the moon) than I was for a loaded Ford Escape! And this Lexus turns WAY more heads Robert is in the valley and I'm in Culver City. I suggested taking an Uber to go pick up the new car and sign the paperwork. Robert blew me away again. He had someone deliver the car and take my credit card from my driveway. Since I'm normally working 10-hour days, and no one wants to fight rush hour to Studio City, having that classy personal delivery service just knocked the whole thing out of the park for me. I will bring my entire family to Robert Robinson at Studio Motors because honestly, you get WAY MORE than you pay for. Robert is a gem and I'm so glad I circled back to him when it was time to lease again. Thank you Robert!!!!

    Mannal at Studio Motors is, without a doubt, who you need to see when you even THINK about getting a new car. I decided I wanted to lease my next car a few months ago. When I found Studio Motors, I read through almost ALL the reviews on Yelp (lol) and knew there would be no better option when I started the process. Well that process sped up more quickly than I anticipated, but how could it not after being convinced by all these incredible experiences. So the day I decided to start making it real, I headed over to Studio Motors and when I arrived, the door was locked. They aren't typically in the office on weekends, but Mannal happened to be there and said he would talk to me anyway! So nice! I told him exactly what I wanted and by that night he had found a car that matched my description and gave me numbers. I needed to sell my car first, so I ended up holding off for a few days, but within 12 DAYS I had EXACTLY what I wanted and more. I even switched to a different line of the same car and it didn't phase him. What did I have to do in order to get this car? It felt like NOTHING haha. But, essentially agree on a price and send Mannal a picture of my drivers license and insurance. He found the car, dealt with the dealerships, did the application for me and anything else that went into the process and had the car arrive at his office. All I had to do was go over there and sign all the paperwork, pay, and the car was mine! This was amazing compared to going to a dealership and being called and harassed NON STOP afterward. Mannal was extremely professional, easy going, so nice, offered me advice on selling my car, and truly made me SO happy. Regarding my car, see the pictures attached to this review because it speaks for itself and the wonderful outcomes of Mannal / Studio Motors work ... and it's reinforced each time someone sees my car. Mannal, get ready because you already have three new customers coming your way and to anyone reading this, Studio Motors is the only way to lease a car. Enjoy! :D

    I found Studio motors through yelp while looking to pickup my first car here in LA. I had never worked with a broker before and was a little hesitant go that route but I couldn't have made a better decision. Mannal was the plug every step of the way! Super personable and attentive. He responded to texts, calls and emails at all hours and any day of the week. Due to my work schedule I was never able to meet him or view vehicles before my purchase, so I was putting a lot in his hands. He got me into a 2017 Audi A4 for pennies on the dollar to what the dealership was offering. No games, no gimmicks and at the end of it all, he had the car delivered to my apartment with all the paperwork already taken care of. My girlfriend will be coming to see these guys when her lease is up and I will be referring all my people to Studio Motors in the future. I'm the most skeptical person when it comes to deals that seem too good to be true, but I can assure anyone still on the fence that these guys are just really really good at their job!

    It's really mine!!!!

    I couldn't be happier with the process of leasing a car through these guys.  I should preface this by saying I really don't like going to car dealerships.  I always feel like I've been slimed upon leaving.  But that's unfortunately how I started out this journey.  My budget was tight so I was looking for a cheap car, with no money down and a low monthly payment.  I went to all the dealerships and looked at low-end cars like Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda 3, etc.  I was not even looking at a hybrid, much less a Lexus, as I knew I couldn't afford it. I stumbled upon Studio Motors by accident on the web somewhere and was skeptical at the claims of, what I thought, were impossible lease deals.  I didn't even want to believe it after calling Mannal and getting confirmation on the numbers.  Fast forward - either I'm dreaming or I'm driving around in a gorgeous Lexus CT200h hybrid that I got for roughly the same price as (if not cheaper than) the econoboxes I was looking at.  And I never had to step a foot in a dealership or talk to a salesman.  They really treated me right from start to finish.  Tons of little touches, like when the car was delivered to their location in Studio City, and it was going to be a little late due to ObamaJam, they paid for our lunch at a nice cafe next door while we waited.  BTW, do try out the Artisan Cheese Gallery next door - yum.  But that'll have to wait for another review.

    On 04-02-2014 Thomas hooked it up.

    Studio motors makes getting a new car a quick and painless process. You don't have to deal with the dealers pushy salesmen . We've worked with Thomas twice and both times he goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your purchase and that you also get a good deal. He also helped me set up my baby's car seat so that my baby was safe on the way home. If you're looking for a new car talk to Thomas 1st!!!

    Thomas from Studio Motors is the best! I found Studio Motors while browsing lease trade in sites and after reading all the extremely positive reviews I decided to give them a call. Like some other reviewers, I live in San Francisco and had little luck finding decent offers in the Bay Area. I tried other lease brokers who were no where near the value and expertise of Studio Motors. Between the dealers and other lease brokers, they were all trying to haggle me or convince me that the car I wanted didn't exist in my price range. Not to mention, they all have a $500+ fee and Studio Motors doesn't have a fee. Within 4 days of calling Thomas, he had found me a 2019 BMW X3 - the exact car I was looking for at exactly the price I was looking for, and had it ready for me to pick up just a few days later! No hidden costs, no catches, it was even easier than I could have ever imagined! We just flew down to Burbank (as someone else suggested), took the 10 minute Uber ride, filled out about 10-15 min of paper work, and drove off! The dealer they got the car from even texted me to thank me and gave me his personal number if I ever need anything. From start to finish, I definitely felt like I was in good hands with Studio Motors and recommend them to anyone looking to lease a new car! I even brought my boyfriend with me who verified they are truly no BS - something really rare to find in this industry :) Thank you again for finding an amazing car and making a normally tedious process such a pleasant one!

    How long after submitting a request do they usually respond? I've sent messages both via website and Yelp - still waiting for a response.

    Personally I called and asked for Thomas and after talking he sent me and email and talked about everything that was desired. And he got me an amazing deal on a Lexus

    Any fees associated?

Just license, fees, and first month's payment DAS (due at signing). I started the process on Sunday afternoon when they were closed and went to the dealership on the following Saturday to pick up the car. This was the most stress free car buying experience of all time for me. Once I told Sam about the make, model, and trim I wanted with no add-ons, he went to work getting me the best quote. There was a dealer that quoted $13 more than the first dealer and Sam tried to get the dealer to come down in price to match the first offer. He didn't so we went with the first dealer to lock in a low monthly payment plus tax. None of that "cap cost reduction" nonsense you see in the car dealer ads that fool you into thinking you got a deal. You are just prepaying the lease and lowering your monthly payments. The deal that Sam got me was low selling price for the car, standard residual (set by the bank), lease rebate, zero upsell. In fact, I just dealt with Sam 100% of the time. I got the contract emailed to me to sign. Sam met me at the dealership to sign a couple of DMV forms. I wrote the check to the dealership, then Sam drove the car out to the pick up area. ZERO CONTACT WITH ANYONE AT THE VW DEALERSHIP! No games at the finance desk, no wasted time going back and forth, honest selling price of car, and standard money rate with the lease. Sam basically shielded me from all the high pressure sales tactic and made sure I got the best deal. Do yourself a favor and hire a professional like Sam to battle the dealership. This was truly and EZ experience and there was no fee or bill from Sam.
