Empire Auto Group

Recently got an s2k from empire auto (2^nd car my family has bought from here) there customer service is top notch very friendly and you can’t beat that 5yr 100 000 mile warranty thanks jay!

After a long exhaustive research online and everywhere, I finally bought a 2005 Mercedes Benz CLK 500 at this dealership last December to replace the exact same one I lost. My buying experience with Jay and his brothers were wonderful. They were upfront and honest. Good prices because of their business model which is to sell and buy Salvaged vehicles. Normally, it’s a gamble to buy a salvaged vehicle but with this dealership it’s not because they tell you «everything» about the car. No surprises here!
I brought the car to my Benz tech and he didn’t find anything wrong other than a tune up, bad left front tire, an alignment, transmission cover, the rear shade motor which I disabled, and to get my key replaced which I knew already. I am enjoying the car and already working on personalizing it with new wheels, exterior paint re-​spray, and activating the satellite radio and Mercedes roadside assistance. I can’t believe I found one with such low miles!!! Vroom! C-​YA!
Thank you Jay and Empire Auto Group.

Nothing like the personal customer service at Empire Auto Group. This was my second time looking for a car with Jay and both times the experience has been amazing. No gimmicks; Jay is straightforward about anything on his lot and takes pride in what he has to offer. Today, I have a new car and couldn’t be any happier with my experience at Empire Auto Group. I would refer Jay any day!

Went there to just look around and started talking to jay he got me in a 2013 hyundai genesis r spec way better then my old car said he could work with the banks to get me lower payments and interest rate and he did!!! The man makes dreams come true!

The greatest place to get a used car and not get railed because you’re military. Jay is ex-​DoD so he knows how USAA and Navy Federal work and he does the best he can to get you the best deal. Me and my roommate came in and bought a 2013 Ford Focus st and a 2013 Hyundai genesis rspec in just a short time. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the purchase I made.

Jay and the group at Empire we’re excellent. Empire knows how to find the car you want. Quality products sold by real quality people. I’d give them 5 out of 5. Just bought a car from them about a month ago and I love it! Jay is an expert in cars and the business and well make sure you get the best deal and make sure your taken care of.

I referred a friend to these guys because they had the exact make and color of Mercedes CLS AMG my friend was looking for a white on red model. The owner Jay was great he was able to not only sell the car for an excellent price but also threw in extras such as tint, custom trims and also personally delivered the car to the house in Orange County.

Just recently bought a Cadillac CTS V from Empire had great customer service very friendly. Would definitely recommend people to buy cars here. With my first car purchase being with Empire I am greatly satisfied with the all around experience.

The best of the best in town with OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE! Bought a smart car with a great deal. I will sure come back to get another car in the near future

First off I read all of the reviews before going to Empire, and was pretty skeptical. When I called Jay answered the call and was real up front about his salvage titled cars he has pictures of any and all damage, accurate car fax and really good warranties. You can’t beat 5 year 100k mile warranty bumper to bumper coverage on a used vehicle let alone a salvaged vehicle. Anything goes wrong just take it in, if you’re hesitant or lack the knowledge of salvage cars just look at their prices and warranties and you’ll have no more issues with it. they’re all friendly at Empire and they let you look at everything. Definitely referring any friends or family who need a nice used vehicle.

I have recently purchased a corvette from Ray and could not believe how easy it was. Although it’s a salvage title he made sure I knew it and showed me what the damage was. I am very happy with my corvette and it has an extended warranty 5yrs 100,000 mile you can’t beat that. If you are looking for a affordable car Empire Auto is the place I would recommend.

Best car buying experience I have ever had! EVER!!! Jay sold me a 2006 Range Rover HSE, one owner w/​67,000 miles and disclosed EVERYTHING about the vehicle. He mentioned the vehicle had a salvage title, and wasn’t shy about it, showed me the before and after photos of the damage to the vehicle (metal frame front bumper was slightly bent) he showed me the front bumper and right fender replacement, and the paint job they put on the vehicle. There was nothing hidden in the purchase, Jay stated to me that he specializes in rebuilt-​titles for salvage-​title vehicles, and such is not uncommonly being sold on his lot he also told me the thermostat had recently went out on the vehicle and that he already had replaced it (a notorious replacement part on ALL Range Rovers). Jay was upfront about everything and offered a unbeatable price for the vehicle, he never pressured me, was very friendly and understanding, I recommend this guy to anyone I know or meet, the expericence at Empire Auto Group was the best I have ever had.

This place is great, you have to arrive there educated about salvaged titles if not then you’re in for a surprise. I originally came there to look at a 370z, (the only other place selling them was carmax), but I ended up falling for another car. (BMW 1 series M Sport) Jay is awesome hes got a lot knowledge with the cars in his lot, and hes easily approachable. He showed me the before and after pictures of the car and offered me a carfax report. Knowing the history of the car and what he did to make it look brand spankin new eased my worries of buying a salvaged title. I also came there to get my car appraised with hopes of trading it in. He offered me less than what I wanted, so I told him what carmax offered me. We decided to take it to carmax and he even paid off the remaining balance for me. He’s good! I definitely would recommend this place to my friends who are willing to buy a salvaged title. Left his lot that day with a «brand new» car that I extremely love.
Car also came with extended warranty, which was included in the purchase price. It’s worth the visit.

After almost buying a beautiful corvette they have for sale for a good price, I did a Carfax report. TOTAL loss and a salvage title they didn’t mention. Shady!

Came across empire auto and found exactly what I was looking for jay helped me out and the process was quick thnx to him and his brother happy I purchased from them I would highly recommend them to anyone that’s looking for a new car check out the inventory thanks again guys

Was shopping around for a new vehicle when I stumbled across Empire. I called them about the Veloster, and they were very upfront about the fact that the car had a salvaged title. I test drove the car and loved it, very well presented and maintained since they had taken ownership of it. The entire staff was very helpful with the purchasing process, and knowledgeable of how to purchase and acquire loans for salvage title vehicles. Overall extremely satisfied with my relationship with Empire Auto Group. Even after our, transactions where complete, Jay went out of his way to help with any of my future vehicle endeavors.

I drove all the way out to La Mesa area from my house which is close to 200 miles to find a car. My ’07 Si was totaled three weeks ago and I needed a car STAT but I was not settling for anything less than an Si. I walked in the office and Jay greeted me. I told him I was interested in the 2009 Black Honda Civic Si sedan and he showed me pictures of the car right away and I didn’t even ask to see them. Very honest and straight forward about everything. He didn’t give me a dirty look cause I was a girl asking for a sports car either like I’ve received before! But the price was right on the car and I was sold on it. Very happy with the service! Thanks guys! I would DEFINITELY recommend this place to people!

Just bought a 2011 Cadillac CTS, due to my financial situation it was a very big Hassle to get rid of my old car and get me in a new one. However, throughout the process jay and his brother stuck it out and crunched numbers until we found a solution that was beneficial to both of us.
I am not sure what the negative review was about but within 5 minutes of looking at the car I went there to see, I was informed that most of the cars on the lot had salvaged titles. I was provided a Carfax and pictures of the car after its accident without even asking. this is exactly what I expect from a used car dealer and I will definitely be back when it’s time for another one. Big thanks to Jay and his brother for getting me into the Car that I went there for.

Just picked up a 2009 Subaru WRX from Jay over at Empire Auto Group and I cannot be more satisfied with my purchase. Jay was very upfront and honest about the type of cars he buys and who he does business with. He was very forthcoming about vehicle history and the fact that almost all of his vehicles are purchased through insurance companies due to minor accidents, theft or vandalism and provides pictures from when he had acquired the vehicle. It’s been about a week since my purchase and I could not be more happy with what I walked away with and the ease of the transaction itself. Jay is all about gaining customers and building a rapport with his clients.
Would definitely recommend Jay and Empire for anyone looking to buy vehicles from a trustworthy source. Thanks again Jay!

Jay was very helpful and honest about all his inventory. I purchased a 2009 civic si from him with no worry at all. He worked very hard to get me the price I needed with in my families budget. I would recommend this auto group over any other ive been to in southern California. Great family owned business and pleasant to deal with.
