LeBlanc and late former co-star Matthew Perry shared a love of luxury sports vehicles.
And it appears that LeBlanc has also made the business a family affair with his daughter Marina, 20, also seen at the dealership several times in recent weeks, sometimes wearing a company-branded gray T-shirt.
Marina is LeBlanc’s only child with his ex-wife Melissa McKnight, to whom he was married from 2003 to 2006.
She was seen accompanying her father to the dealership on Wednesday and again on Thursday, when DailyMail.com visited the luxury used car dealership.

The reveal of LeBlanc’s new venture comes amid recent reports that he is taking a break from the spotlight.
LeBlanc was photographed hard at work in the dealership parking lot, while his distinctive black $149,000 Mercedes G-Wagon was parked outside.

The TV star hasn’t appeared in any movies or TV projects since the Friends HBO reunion special in 2021, and previously said she was “taking some time off.”
His last acting performance was as Adam Burns in the CBS series, Man with a Plan, between 2016 and 2020.
LeBlanc has had a difficult year following Perry’s death a little over a year ago following a ketamine overdose in her hot tub.
Fellow sports car enthusiast Perry owned an impressive collection of luxury vehicles, including a Porsche Panamera, an Audi R8, a BMW 6 Series, and a Lincoln Navigator.
The late Friends star had been photographed behind the wheel of a new, custom-built 2023 Porsche Taycan 4S — a car that could have come straight off LeBlanc’s lot — months before his death last year.
He also owned a $145,000 Aston Martin Vantage V8 Roadster and was previously seen cruising around Los Angeles in the flashy vehicle.
Perry, who was just 54 years old when he passed away on October 28, 2023, had long been open about his battles with addiction and had claimed that he had finally gotten sober.
But toxicology reports conducted after his death revealed huge amounts of the drug, which veterinarians often use as a tranquilizer for large animals, in his system.
The business also appears to be a family affair, as LeBlanc’s daughter, Marina, 20, was seen at the dealership several times this week.
Marina, who is LeBlanc’s only child with his ex-wife, was seen getting out of her father’s car.

In August, two doctors were arrested and indicted on federal charges for supplying him with the drug, while his assistant Kenneth Iwamasa was also detained for his role in the actor’s death.
British-born ‘ketamine queen’ Jasveen Sangha, 41, also faces charges of supplying Perry with street versions of the drug, as does low-level drug dealer Erik Fleming, 54, who acted as an intermediary between Iwanasa and Sangha.
Iwanasa, Fleming and San Diego-based doctor Mark Chavez, 54, accepted plea deals in Perry’s death, while Los Angeles doctor Salvador Plasencia, 42, denied the allegations and is currently He is free on bail.
Sangha, who was deemed a flight risk thanks to her British passport and overseas connections, remains locked up at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center pending further legal proceedings.

Perry’s $145,000 Aston Martin was parked in front of his Pacific Palisades home after his death.
LeBlanc was devastated by Perry’s death and posted a tribute on social media shortly after news of her accidental overdose became public.
Alongside a gallery of photos showing the couple together, she wrote: ‘Matthew… I say goodbye with a heavy heart.
‘The times we spent together are honestly among the favorite times of my life. It was an honor to share the stage with you and call you my friend.
‘I will always smile when I think of you and I will never forget you. Never.’
He added: “Spread your wings and fly brother, you are finally free.” Much love. And I guess you’ll keep the $20 you owe me.
The five main Friends cast members attended Perry’s family funeral at Forest Lawn Memorial Park on November 3, 2023.
