edit: While I was having some difficulty contacting them, Rod was able to get the process back on track for me.
Glad that we were able to help!
All the best,
Rod
I had been negotiating with BMW dealers to find a good deal in bay-area, it turns out that BMW finance refuses me because of my Visa status. I saw this thread and sent a text message to the given phone number, I was responded within 5mins, and Chris was my broker, he helped me find my ideal deal(exact model with exact specs) in the same day, and the deal is very aggressive. He was also able to got me approved by BMW finance(I got declined again initially). Chris also answers a lot of my questions which are out of their scope(e.g. what is the cheap insurance company), he is patient and very happy to help me out. I would definitely recommend him to my friends personally.
A little rundown:
I had been talking to multiple dealers and brokers for quite a long time. Some were responsive, some were not. Some offered reallly good deals while gave the standard leases.
Enter Sam - immediate replies, loads of information ( I like to do my research, so it was nice getting more data to feed my quantitative reasoning), patience and excellent communication skills.
I mean he is available 24/7 and went to lengths to give me peace of mind. Even post sale, he responded and helped me understand stuff.
I got the colour I wanted and I got an amazing deal in the process. I highly recommend Sam if you are in California. I will definitely be giving him a call again when my lease ends.
Cheers!

My 2021 X3 s drive just got delivered. I can’t thank Sam enough. He was quick in responding and finding the car with packages i wanted. I contacted many brokers here in this forum but the deal provided by Sam simply blew others away. He gave me a deal which was $103 cheaper/month (not kidding) for the exact same car quoted by another broker. I contacted him at night around 8 pm yesterday and car got delivered today at 7pm. Sam even refunded me for the miles driven for the car to be delivered to my place! (who does that!)The best experience I’ve ever had. Very transparent and straight forward. I cannot praise Sam enough for getting me this deal. I’ll recommend my family/friend and anyone on this forum to get in touch with Autopia for their future car lease.

Thank you for the quick response can I text him now or to late?
Sam just helped me get a 330i. After getting frustrated working with dealers myself, I jumped on leasehackr to find a broker. Sam was very quick to respond and quickly found exactly what I was looking for. Throughout the process, he was extremely responsive and patiently helped me understand things as a first-time leasee. He was able to resolve any issues that came up and even negotiated a price drop with the dealer after my initial deal did not work-out due to immigration issues. All in all, a very smooth car shopping experience. Highly recommend going through Autopia and save yourself some time and hassle of working with local dealers.

Sam is the absolute best. I was looking for an Audi SQ5 P+ and reached out to Sam for help. He was very honest, responsive, straight and easy to work with. He considered my budget and helped me to pull off a deal. What I found best is that Sam was totally on my side and wanted to be sure that I could save possible. The mutual trust we had helped us to work together very well. I am very happy to find him and I do reach out to him again for help and recommend him to all my friends

Terrific experience with Sam at Autopia in California. He helped me find the best deal on a custom order BMW X5 hybrid. Great communication throughout the process, and always quick to respond. I highly recommend Sam. And I’ll never buy direct from a dealership again! image|634x499

Sam from Autopia is amazing. Got me a beautiful, powerful beast of an Audi Q5e (think more of a SQ5). My dream car that I never thought possible. I got more car for less money than I bargained for. He used his dealerships contacts to give me a no-hassle, frictionless experience. I didn’t have to do anything except sign the paperwork from the comfort of my home, write the check, and pick up my dream car.
I had already put a down payment for a used Subaru at Shift.com. But a used 2016 Forest was not my dream car. More importantly, it was not my wife’s dream car. I wanted a AWD SUV for a low monthly price, and thought I had to compromise and give up on a Q5. After asking for advice here on LH about that Shift.com deal, I decided to reach out to Autopia on a whim. I texted Sam on a Friday night while my wife was putting our kid to sleep, and got a reply soon after. By the next day or two I had my deal and was able to cancel my original one. Right on budget. Much better car than I thought possible. Perfect.
Sam even went out of his way to order a red bow tie from Amazon so I could surprise my wife. His treat.
Cannot recommend Sam and Autopia enough. Save time, save money, get more car. Using Autopia for your lease is a no-brainier. Thanks Sam

Another rave review for Sam at Autopia. He negotiated an amazing deal on a 530e. I was as impressed with the deal as I am with his overall demeanor and friendliness. He is extremely responsive with communication, found me the car I asked for quickly, and had it delivered with 24-48 hours. He tracked the process from start to finish, notified me at every step, answered every single question I had for him, and even checked in with me after delivery just to make sure everything was as I expected. I’m already planning my in-laws’ next lease and plan to go right back to Sam for it.

A++++ Review for Sam at Autopia!!
Just took delivery of my dream 2 series M240i.
Sam got me a deal other salespeople told me was “impossible” and it was as seamless and smooth of a process as I have ever had purchasing a car.
Highly recommend for any future buyers, and have already referred Sam to several of my friends.
Thanks again for all your help Sam!

Another five-star review for Sam. Sam was very quick to respond and offered me a great deal at the very beginning! My case is tough to get approval from BMWFS cause I am an international student and Sam did his best to help me. Some of my friends didn’t get approval through other dealerships. I sent him all the paperwork at around 9 am and got my car at 7pm! Really Impressive!!

These guys are seriously the best! Here comes another 5 star/A+++ review for Sam. This is my second car that he has worked his tail off for me to get into what I wanted. I swear that this guy does not sleep and he always seems to be working on the best price for his customers. Sam performed his magic with my high expectations and had my 2020 BMW 330i delivered to my home with amazing deal within a couple days. I wish I could tell you guys how easy it is to work with them. Let them help you find your next car and see for yourself what I’m talking about!
Thanks again, Sam! You’re the man!

Within 24 hours of contacting Sam, the 2021 530e matching my criteria was found, delivered to my home and my previous lease picked up. Sam also put my mind at ease and helped me deal with a minor issue after delivery. Good communication and great service. Definitely recommended. Thanks Sam!

Big shout out to Rod at Autopia for making the entire car buying process as seamless as possible.
Before I knew about Autopia, I had contacting multiple dealers directly looking for a custom order BMW X3 but most were either not responsive or responded with quotes that were not-so attractive. Then a friend of mine recommended me to Autopia and after a few emails Rod was quickly able to secure my custom build at an amazing price that blew all those dealer quotes away!
Rod is super friendly and professional. He answered all my questions in the utmost courteous manner. For anyone who is still looking around, look no further! I highly recommend Rod/Autopia and they will make the entire process so much easier. Thanks again for all your help again, Rod!

Thanks so much for the kind words. Hope you enjoy the X3 in great health!
Found Sam with Autopia on the leasehackr website and My wife and I are more than satisfied with his service… we were looking at upgrading our suv and go bigger snd were looking at the 2020 BMW X5 . Sam went out of his way to find the vehicle we wanted in the color way with the features we wanted and even below the cost we wanted to spend and expect to spend … my wife is old school so we went to the dealer to pick up the car and the car was waiting for us already filled up and detailed signed paperwork and out the dealership within 30-45 mins the quickest we had ever gotten a car . We will always be going through Sam to lease our vehicles through Sam . Thanks again Sam !!! We totally appreciate you !!!

Have been meaning to make this post for a while but need to echo the kind sentiments about Autopia, especially Rod. There were certainly some road blocks and difficulties a few months back but it was nothing to do with Rod’s service and much to do with some random bad luck. Rod was patient and communicative every step of the way and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. I look forward to leasing with Rod and Autopia again in the future. Highly recommend!
