Empire Imports have always been a place I can trust when it comes to my car (1987 Mercedes 560sl). The staff and techs are always honest,, friendly, and professional. I know when I leave my car there it is in good hands.
Very professional, friendly and speedy! I will definitely use them again!
Great customer service that is honest and up front with you. Great pricing and theyre flexible with your schedule. I highly recommend their services and I will not take my vehicle anywhere else for repairs.
So I brought my Audi here years ago and then moved a little further away and forgot about them. Then I needed service for my Lexus and decided to make the drive and try them again. Thank goodness I did. I wish I could give 10 stars. The level of service they offer is second to none and the customer service far surpasses that if possible. You walk in the door and you are immediately greeted. They are genuinely happy to have you there. The whole process is seamless and when you pick up your car they actually thank you for your business. The whole experience is something I never ever get at Lexus. I will definitely be a forever customer and recommend them to everyone I know!
What an unbelievable experience. 2 weeks ago my 2006 328i Started stalling on me every time I stopped. I went to my mechanic Jackson tire plus in Lake Wales and He recommended that I go to Empire Imported. He said he recommends everyone that comes to him with import cars that need to be looked in to a little bit deeper. I called Empire to make an appointment and was blown away by the customer service. The gentleman that answered was Very warm and welcoming. I felt very comfortable going in and leaving my car, just by the way The phone conversation went. Upon arrival I checked in my car and it was the same exact feeling, everyone was very nice and very professional super clean and very welcoming. I received text messages emails and phone calls for everything regarding the cars progress. I got my car one week later and it was running amazing. About 20 minutes later while driving I get a call from Empire saying that they accidentally Charged Me Too Much money And that they were very sorry. These people won me 100%. I just want to say thank you so much and you guys were worth every penny like my mechanic told me, When it comes to imports theres nobody better than Empire I promise. Cant wait to set up the next appointment.
Had my wifes Audi air conditioning compressor changed and the did a awesome job all around...
Great service.Prompt identification of problem and repaired quickly.Couldn’t ask for more!Been customer for over 20 years!!!
They are honest, easy going, always gives you multiple options, you get guaranteed call backs, and overall just a very positive experience for me.
Great place, if you own a Mercedes, bmw or European car this is the place to buy parts or have them fix it, I appreciate their help and the way I was treated !
Had my 335i BMW diagnostics tests. Was it needed a new ECU, #2 fuel injector was the main issue. Cost $3400, a week later I get a call saying the ECU wasnt available through his suppliers. We were going to have to purchase straight from BMW now the price is $4500. Took it home replaced #2 injector runs like a new car. I believe they were trying to pull a fast one. Would never recommend these con artist.
Very professional and efficient. They did exactly what was quoted. I am very pleased to have a now safer vehicle.
Honest, trustworthy, helpful, accurate, professional, nice to talk to, excellent service, would recommend to anyone and everyone, will not be let down. Money well spent.
This is without doubt one of the best automotive services Ivehad since arriving in Florida. Empire possesses State of the ArtDiagnostic Equipment, they provide photos of any faults found during their inspection and provide recommendations to solve the issue, not once didI feel under pressure to get anything done. The staff were all neat, the service area was clean and the lead mechanic explained all findings in detail. I live approximately 35 miles away from Empire Automotive Service, but the distance means nothing when compared to Services rendered. I would rather travel to a place where I know I will be treated with respect than to be near my home and feel out of place. If your automobile needs repair and you Want Honesty, Respect and Quality Service, Empire is the Place To Go.Johnny Vargas, Sr.United States ArmyRetired
Wonderful experience with Chris and Dave. They made my repair easy for me.Repaired my vehicle to a like new state. Overall a very great experience. Will definitely recommend them to all my friends.
Great service. Get your car in and out.
So far so good..I have an old Saab...so any help is appreciated...update..I love thier service and customer service also they did a good job. Will go back again
Best repair shop in Polk County! They go above and beyond and with extremely efficient communication and superior quality repair services!
I Was Referred Here By Another Dealership For A Reprogramming And They Are A 10 Out Of 10 Hands Down Turns Out There Was Something Wrong With My Computer They Handled The Issue ASAP And It Was Affordable ! The Customer Service Was Great Even From The First Phone Call Completely Respectful Definitely Will Be Coming Here If I Ever Have Anymore Issues 🙂
ALWAYS EXCELLENT SERVICE AND CARE WITH MY CARS, THEY ARE ALL VERY FRIENDLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE..... THEY TAKE PRESTINE CARE OF MY VEHICLES, AND HANDS DOWN HAVE OUR BUSINESS FOR LIFE.
Everyone there is SO FRIENDLY! I have never been to a mechanic that actually shows pictures of your car inspection, which is so helpful. They went out of their way to take time and fully explain everything that needed to be repaired, and didnt pressure me at all. Everything is very clearly broken out by what needs to be done right now, and what can safely wait. They are amazing.
This is hands down the best auto shop in area, I dont even live relatively close but I make the 40-50 minute drive because they are so good. Professional service, they always keep you in the loop even if theres a hiccup (which is rare), and great quality work. Could not reccomend enough that if you care about your car take it here.
Empire came to me highly recommendedThey were great to deal with. All informationIs given to you up front. Guys were very friendly and welcoming. I will continue to use their services.
I recommend this shop to everyone who owns a German car. They know what they are doing and their prices for repairs a really good. I originally took my car to BMW dealership and informed me about some issues my car had and their prices were very high and even said issues the car really did not have. I took it to Empire based on reviews and they were excellent. They can count on my future business with them. Keep up the great service!!
Had strange experience with my car taking in water on the floorboards both front and back passenger side. Found out it was the dew wipes on the inside of the windows that were leaking. This took a little long, but the problem has been solved.
Very friendly and inexpensive
Excellent service! Staff went above and beyond expectations to accommodate my needs. Best auto service experience I’ve ever had. First choice for my auto services moving forward! I give them 10 ⭐️‘S!
Everyone at Empire is fantastic. They have to be one of the most professional and polite places we’ve been. The entire team strives to make your visit the best! We always get great service and the car runs fantastic! Thank you.
Wouldn’t take my Volkswagen anywhere else! Great service!
Empire does the best automotive work and super nice staffs with knowledge about you vehicles plus fair competitive pricing so if you want professional and honestly just go to Empire.
Excellent service. Kept me informed the entire time and completed the work within the time frame expressed. Very professional. Highly recommend!
Great service, took my car for a diagnostic check and they check the whole car and the explained in full detail everything that was wrong, great service and great people.
David, Chris & Angel are the best! They took great care of my Boxster, let me know what was going on throughout and went above and beyond to help me. I’m a customer for life and will be singing your praises to all! Thanks Empire!!!
The ONLY place that I will allow to touch any of my luxury vehicles.... The BEST! Hands Down... never disappoints
The gentleman I spoke with on the phone was highly knowledgeable, patient, and very well articulate. I just found my go-to mechanic.
Empire Imports has a customer for life. I needed a mechanic to fix my Mercedes. I didn’t want to take it to just anyone nor did I want to go to the dealership for obvious reasons. I was recommended to them by another shop. From the minute I walked in the door I was greeted with friendly smiles. These people went above and beyond to help me address the issues of my car. We are still working on some. They have saved me hundreds of dollars in repair costs. The mechanic knows what he’s doing and you are in and out in no time. Overall the best experience I’ve had with a shop. 5 STARS
Angel, Chris, Kenny and the entire team at Empire Auto are true professionals in the automotive repair industry! My mother had a very sporadic starting issue with a ‘93 Mercedes 300E and they were able to quickly diagnose and resolve the issue in 24hrs! Their knowledge, honesty and fair prices have earned them another loyal customer for life. The system they use to keep their customers informed electronically is truly state of the art, and one of which I’ve never seen even at car dealerships. I highly recommend them!
Very friendly, did the service and kept me informed throughout the day, I was very happy with the whole experience!
My neighbor recommended Empire for repair on my Smart car. I was completely “gobsmacked” by how they treated me. They were friendly, professional, and did a thorough job on my car. I was pleasantly surprised that they were able to get me in this week, and also that they completeled the work before the end of the day. I was also impressed that they kept me up to date on things through text messages and sent the results of their exam —including pictures of each of the areas they inspected and had to fix. I have never had such a thorough work up. They also are reasonably priced, which is a bonus above everything else!!! I will defin8tely take my car back in the future for any work. Kudos to the staff and the technician👍
I would highly recommend Empire Import Parts and Service.
Theyre very nice people. They fixed my a/c.
We had a great experience with Empire. Great customer service and very informative as far as letting us know what was going on during inspection. They were able to get us in and see what was wrong and was able to fix the problem the same day. We left with a fixed AC and will return to Empire again for our repair needs. Thank You Empire!!
Service was speedy yet personable Angel and the rest of the staff are a great asset to the shop my experience was great, I will recommend empire to all!
Excellent service on front end, shop determined that issue was warped tire if the test drove the car they would have realized that the issue was no where close to resolved. For 185.00 and moving a tire I would have expected that the tech would have put my small hub caps back on and not have left my trunk in a mess or leaving my jack out on the trunk floor vs simply putting it back where they found it... Sloppy work
True Professionals. My car ACURA TL 2010 had an ELECTRICAL leak. They traced it down and found it. My car starts when needed and purrs when driving now. Im happy
We were considering buying a certified pre owned Mercedes and we dropped it off for an inspection as a second opinion. Their report was very thorough and included photos and recommendations. The dealer easily agreed to correct all the issues prior to our purchase.My sister-in-law has used Empire for years and they will now be servicing our newest vehicle too. Great people and a well-established local business.
Checked over everything for free with me purchasing just an oil change. Will be my new mechanic now that I moved to Florida.
I was very satisfied with the work and the way that they kept me updated on my vehicle repairs.I also love the way they sent me emails on the inspection of my vehicles! Angel gave exceptional customer service! I would recommend their service to my friends.Thank you
Always great service! I wouldn’t take my BMW anywhere else including a BMW dealership. Always honest and fair. I recommend this place to anyone with an import car!
Expensive for sure.But nice honest guys.
Excellent service and staff. Will take all my cars here.
Highly recommend. I received text updates with pictures of what was checked out on the car. Instead of just telling you, they show you. There was no attempted upscale of extra stuff. Great service, prices and very friendly staff.
Very professional, knowledgeable & informative! I had my daughter’s Mini Cooper Countryman in for regular maintenance service & the technician did a thorough check & the Service Manager called to report a clean bill of health (most places “find” something to up sell). I definitely recommend & will use them again. I LOVE the virtual updates & photos they provide for easy maintenance record keeping!
Job well done. Empires commitment to satisfaction is what I look for in a business.
Great service! Friendly and knowledgeable team. Will continue to take my BMW here VS BMW dealership.
Super nice and considerate. Good looking shop. Little bit of an issue with fully listening and trusting our findings. They ran a full diagnostic but didn’t clear an error code as we asked to check a new part. If we had listened to their advice they’d have replaced an unnecessary part. I think it was just a miscommunication not a blatant error.
I know BMW maintenance is expected to be expensive, but this auto shop is professional and Is fair in pricing. Love their inspections of the vehicle.
Outstanding service!! Very communicative throughout the service.
It was my first visit to this facility. From the friendly greeting to the immediate attention of my visit, I was impressed. Their price was very reasonable and had time allowed, they would have given an overall inspection of my vehicle at no additional cost. My questions were answered in the same friendly tone of the greeting. I will be patronizing this business in the future, and thank you guys, glad I stopped by.Bernard
I have used Empire Imports for vehicle service for 25 years. That speaks volumes all by itself, but I recently took my daughters car there to have the brakes replaced as they were squeaking and we felt the car was not stopping properly. I got a call from Kyle to let me know the brakes were still good, they just needed some TLC. Their honesty and excellent service not only saved me money, but got the car back on the road ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Empire for all your vehicle needs.
Empire is a very professional and courteous service garage. Chris kept me posted on the status of my car and understood my position on the repairs. I would recommend Empire to others and they will save you money over dealer repair costs. Thank you Empire.
Great shop, most experience on European Cars in central Florida.
Will definitely go back for all my services on my car!!!! Great atmosphere felt welcome and they were quick to get the job done on time!!
Awesome and friendly services.Ms. Love -
Very satisfied with the service and price. I will definitely recommend them.
My first experience with Empire.Great personal very professional.I took my Mercedes there to fix my a/cThanks Dave for a awesome job..Hope I don’t need to go back there soon to fix my car..but if I do..Ill be going back to Empire..Oh yeah and thanks Chris for picking me up and give a courtesy car for me to drive..Thanks again !!!!
These guys were very thorough and did not release the car back to me until they were fully satisfied it was ready. Small issue with the front hood lock sensor but Im sure they will take care of it as soon as I call. True professionals, trust them! Consistently fair and helpful
Awesome customer service and very fair pricing
These guys are amazing with German cars.Inside out they know German cars even better than their German respective dealerships.Incredible advice and knowledge is what I am sure youll find here and receive.They made sure my insurance got the information they need now its just up to my insurance.But with empire I am pleasantly pleased.I was kept up to date with their automated texts and service also their website was easy to use.Everyone there was very nice and courteous I was very impressed.They even gave me a ride home since their shop wasnt to far from my home.Some nice cars in their parking lot to look at.Overall I cant thank them at empire enough.So Ill just say thank you too them and let everyone know if you got a German car again I cant stress this enough try empire first.Thanks again
I was very impressed by the professionalism at Empire. Thank you for your help.
As a long time customer, we have always been satisfied with the service performed on our 2004 Jaguar by Empire. After getting our car jump started, we took the car to Empire with no advance notice to get a new battery. Despite being busy and short-staffed, Kyle, who was managing the desk, took the time to install a new battery for us while we waited.
These guys are excellent! They immediately found my suspension problems and had them repaired in a day. They kept me updated with photos of the damaged parts and totally met their schedule and beat their estimate. They were half the price of my Jag dealer! Highly recommend.
I am so very thankful for the Empire team! As we enter this season of gratitude and giving, I have had to make some costly maintenance repairs to my Volvo S 60 T5. As a journalist and a female, I am often very skeptical when taking my car in for repairs, especially when its not at the actual dealer. Well, Kyle and Chris were very thorough in their explanations and service. In fact, there was a fuse issue with my charger after services rendered and they made arrangements to see me quickly about this. Not only did they identify the issue and fixed it fast, but they also said Merry Christmas and did not charge me. Granted someone may say its what they should have done because the fuse went out during their servicing of my vehicle BUT I say THANK YOU! for operating in integrity and professionalism. Go check them out, I believe you will be pleased!
Im very impressed and happy with Empire. The staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They listened to my concerns, inspected my car, developed a repair plan and fixed it in a timely manner. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Great customer service like always, and fast and reliable mechanics. Thanks again guys for getting my AUDI A6 and BMW 330I back on the road Fast.
Wonderful folks here. Kyle and Chris were very knowledgeable and got me fixed up right. Would leave 10 stars if I could
I was in and out...I really appreciate the customer service and especially the detailed inspections and service on the email...U guys rock...I am one satisfied customer...THX so much
Have used Empire for 40 plus years, from my 1956 vw then to our current 2014 Volkswagen.
Great Customer service!
The entire staff was honest, helpful, and professional. We couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience start to finish. Chris was very knowledgable and sincere in his efforts. No more dealer visits for our Toyotas! This is the place to take your import.
I cannot say enough good things about Empire. Kenny Moore, Kyle and the entire service team always treat me kindly and I know my 2014 Sentra is in tip top shape because they maintain it. This team can service any car - my mother’s 69 VW Beetle has only been worked on by my cousin and then by Empire when they opened shop - it still runs great - that speaks volumes.My dad’s 2001 Buick also owes its long life to this shop. Empire uses technology to make sure you are aware of service needed and to keep you posted on your car’s status when you place it in their hands - that is a nice touch! Because of their quality workmanship, fair prices, and customer service above and beyond the call of duty, I constantly recommend them to my friends who always end up having positive experiences just like me! This is my first google review - try them, you, too, will find they are worthy of a 5 star plus review!!
The gang at Empire was great! Cost came in lower than estimated, very professional! They got a new customer!!!Will continue to use Empire for my care service needs! They get the job done!!!
Couldn’t find anybody to fix my hatchback until I came here. They got the part my car needed within the next day. Amazing and friendly service! They even sent me texts/emails when my car was ready!
Always great customer service and the technicians are well qualified in all the details of my Land Rover. They send EMAILS with Details as the repairs are being done I find this very helpful. Over all I return back again and again and I am very pleased every time!
Great customer service skills. The entire process was well explained. I was kept informed by various forms of communication. I felt that I was not being taken advantage of. They even helped me with a payment option.. I was very satisfy with the work.
I just want to thank the man who came all the way to the road and helped me by putting his computer up to my broken down Kia . He was able to pinpoint my problem but unfortunately they were booked and I needed it down asap. But he was very helpful so thank you
Heard alot of positive things about the work this place does. I took my Jaguar XF there for repairs and I was happy with the results. It was a bit pricey but remember you get what you pay for. It was money well spent. They did an awesome job repairing my car. I highly recommend Empire Imported Parts and Service for auto repairs
They did a good job as usual
Always professional and friendly! Honest and fair!!!
Spectacular service and the definition of hometown friendliness. Ive been having cars repaired here for years and they are the best around! I really like their new digital system for estimates and repair statuses.
They do good work and Chris is a personable friendly guy! Best part is they dont kidnap your car for days like their competitor down the street does (Adkins). Time frame given is generally spot on and Kenny the owner: the best overall owner you can meet. Will go out of his way to offer the best possible service. I Found my life long car shop. Give them a chance, they wont disappoint
Best service Ive came across so far. Allowed me to to entrust the service provided without any questions. Quick, simple and very professional.. not to mention the price for repairs were unquestionable. Thanks to all empire members on the return of my new and improved drive.
They have looked after my cars for 12 years. I moved away and tried to use a reputable facility. Their diagnosis seemed strange. Drove back to empire, got an accurate diagnosis with things TOTALLY MISSED by the other shop! These people are great, this is a friendly place to do business. They are the best!
These guys are the absolute best at what they do! Highly, highly recommended. If you call in and ask Chris to take care of you, it will happen. Very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and solid communication from drop off to pick up. Dropped my Mercedes off a complete wreck and they had me taken care of in a matter of days. 6 stars.
Couldn’t ask for a friendlier staff and great outcome! Simply outstanding all the way around!!!
These folks are the best!My 1964 Karminn Ghia has never had a better service.
Awesome experience, superb customer service and warranty on parts and labor.
