My husband and I purchased a vehicle from universal auto group a couple of weeks ago. This was by far THEE best car buying experience we’ve ever had. Mr. Peter Manny and staff were amazing, to say the least; they were kind, courteous, supportive, friendly, Open, honest, and worked really hard to get my husband exactly what he came for. Their system of teamwork operated flawlessly, they had an awesome inventory that they clearly took great care of, & the entire buying process was quick, easy, and stress-free. Mr. Manny, particularly, stood out & is remembered by us fondly; amazing human being with one of the most genuine spirits-not to mention he truly knows his stuff about cars! You definitely want to check this place out; you won’t be disappointed! :-)

We found Universal Auto Group through Capital One's auto loan website. We met Peter when we arrived and he had the exact SUV we were looking for. My wife and I both felt very comfortable with Peter and were shocked at how well he understood and advised us on all the various options and features. No need to haggle on the price, it was already unbeatable. We will certainly come back for our next purchase.

Had a great experience with this team. Called after-hours about a Metris they had listed, Peter picked-up and we set a time to come in the next day. Sean walked me through the van, test drive and did the deal in less than an hour end-to-end. I was out of state so they set me up with all of the registration paperwork for my state and we had that sorted by the time I got home. The whole process was about as easy as it could have possibly been.

Peter, I want to just drop you a quick note before I completely forget. I usually purchase my vehicles through “branded” dealerships (herb Gordon, euro motors etc) so you can imagine that I had some trepidation purchasing from a dealership that’s for lack of a better term “unbranded” but your honesty, no pressure and straight talk put me at ease to go through with the purchase, and when I had a battery issue on the first day of purchase you can imagine that I questioned whether I made the right decision. How you guys handled that mirrored how I would expect Euro motors to handle it, no questions asked you just replaced it. Still wanting to make sure I made the right decision I took the car in to Euro Motors for a full inspection and my service advisor, Mike Bowden took about 10 minutes to sing the praises of you and the rest of the team at Universal. I can say with confidence that you’ve earned my business for as long as you are around. Thanks again.

This place is amazing I must say. I drove 2 hours to get there and it was more than worth it the staff treated me with the up most respect. No one was heckling me or pressing me to make a purchase and that's the one thing that kept me locked in. The staff 5 stars alone so with that thank you very much and to the wonderful lady with the beautiful energy you are amazing I won't say her name that way when people go they'll get to experience her like I did and get a surprise

I purchased my E350 4matic from Sean last month, Sean's knowledge of the vehicle all options and accessibility to an endless amount of vehicles is what made me purchase from Universal Auto Group. The no haggle best in the area priceing sealed the deal. I was surprised at how fast my purchase was processed, I was out the door the whole process from the time we found my car till the time I was on the road took 1 hour. All this was possible because of the family run business atmosphere of getting business done.]

Sean is very helpful in everything! My expectation was low when I first came to the dealership, since I only saw couple cars outside. But when they opened the garage, what inside surprised me as all vehicles were all cleaned up and in good condition. Besides, the price is reasonable given the condition and mileage. Definitely recommend someone wants a MB but with limited budget!

Found the dealership online and had no prior experience with them. I dont normally but from dealers but I stopped by to check them out anyway. Quite frankly, i was very pleasantly surprised with the experience. Sean was extremely knowledgeabe on the E350 I was looking at. He answered all my questions and offered additional assitance with an extended warranty and some minor warranty work that was needed. This was the best experience i have had with any dealer. Very smooth transacton, so smooth in fact that i bought the same day. I would recommmend Universal to my friends. Check it out

From when you first call on the phone for information, to when you finally get there, Sean, the dad and Ali are a fantastic team. They are extremely professional and make your car buying experience very easy. They do not hassle or pressure you into anything. There is no middle man hassle. What you see is what you get. A very clean and friendly environment; where you get a personalized treatment. Sean is a complete gentleman with a lot of patience and experience with cars. Even after you buy your car as in my case, they are not satisfied until the customer is satisfied; and they take extra time to explain every aspect of your car to you; and continue to ask you to call them with any questions. Thank you 'Universal Auto Group' for a very wonderful and stress-free car buying experience. I will definitely recommend this dealership to friends. 5 stars all the way!

I recently purchased a Mercedes E350. The car is beautiful. I did my research and I know I got the best deal from this dealership. The transaction was smooth and Sean was very helpful and friendly. I never felt pressured to buy and his approach was respectful. I never felt like he was trying to hide anything or misrepresent anything. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone who is in the market for their products. When the time comes to purchase again, this will be the first place I look.

Sean is awesome! His cars are beautiful and his prices are competitive! Let me tell you what I like best about Universal Auto Group, no pressure! Sean shows the cars and let his cars sell themselves. His sales technique was definitely a factor in purchasing the car. I would recommend him and yes I would definitely purchase another car from him.

We recently purchased a Mercedes E350 coupe model from Universal Auto Group for my wife. Her old Mercedes CLK350 had been declared a total loss and we were nearing the end of our car rental time. Sean and his father could not have been nicer and more accommodating during what could have been a stressful time for us. They showed us the inventory. Explained the features and benefits of each vehicle and once we make our decision, Sean was nice enough to go over the workings of the navigation, phone, radio, etc. with my wife. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a luxury vehicle.

Excellent experience! Smooth car buying process. Purchased a 2013 Mercedes E350 Coupe in Feb 2016. They made sure the care was nice and clean, tires had enough air, keys had fresh batteries so that I wouldn't have to worry about doing these things. I would much rather support a small business. There were no hidden fees. The customer service I received from Sean was exceptional. Sean's dad (the owner) not only has a great sense of humor, but also contributed to making sure that I received a fair trade in value and also took care of details such as cleaning out my trade in and getting the new car ready. I highly recommend this dealership!

I have been shopping for a Mercedes for about 2 weeks and actually found the one I liked in New York. While awaiting a chance to go there to buy it, I found a better car on Car-gurus with Universal. I called and spoke to Sean and then again called back and spoke to his father. They both were both very professional and caring. Their quality of vehicles are second only to the Mercedes Dealership. Sean really went out of his way to get me into the car I wanted. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a car to try them first.

In Dec 2015, I bought a GL 450 from UAG. I had dealt with many dealers in the past, however, this is the best car buying experience by far. Sean is extremely professional, forthcoming, honest and a pleasure to deal with. We closed the deal in 15 mins. Also, I was open to selling / trading-in my car and Sean recommended me to sell it to private party as the car was in excellent condition and I would get more money by selling it to others than him. In the future, if I'm looking to buy another car, my first call would be to Sean.

We had a horrible experience down the road at one of the large dealerships. After leaving in disbelief over the tactics they tried to pull it was a relief to find Sean at Universal Auto. They are a small indoor luxury car facility and give you the small town feel we are use too. We drive 250 miles and smiled a the way home with our sweet new ride. Thanks again guys ! See you in 5 years !

The staff at Universal Auto Group were pleasant, professional and made the car buying process quick and easy for me and my wife. They had a great selection of luxury vehicles. I will buy from them again, as well as refer my family and friends to them.

Not very fond of car salesman, but this was one experience that was quite pleasant. Sean made buying my 2012 S550 one of the best car buying experiences that my wife and I have ever experienced. Friendly, knowledgeable and non overbearing. I normally don't purchased vehicles in the DMV based on the prices, quality of vehicles and salesmanship but Universal Auto Group has one of the best selection of MB to me outside of a MB dealership. Cars were in great condition and priced right. Thanks to Sean and his dad for an enjoyable car buying experience.

We are very satisfied with our recent 2012 SLK 350 purchase. Sean was very honest, open and supportive during the entire purchasing process. I am confident we will buy our next car from Universal Auto Sales.

The team at Universal Auto is awesome! Everything was so easy. They gave us a fair price and personalized and speedy service. Sean and Abby are so knowledgeable and helpful. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to avoid high-pressure, overbearing salespeople. We will definitely be going back to Universal in the future.

Went in looking for a BMW X5 I had seen online. First I visited the "authorized center" from the manufacturer, but the center is owned by another company and not the brand maker. The dealer at the center tried to use all the usual ploys to get us to buy. However after visiting UAG and dealing with Abby, it became a more pleasant experience. Abby knows the business and did not pressure us at all. He gave us a good deal and treated us well. Wish there were more dealer out there like this. Thanks, Abby.

I had been looking for a Nissan Maxima with all the options and low miles for a good price and that is when I found Universal Auto Group. They had the exact car I was looking for, with a very good price. I emailed the dealership and was contacted back by Sean; he told me to come on down and have a look for myself. When I arrived, I was greeted by Abby (Sean's father). Abby brought the car out and went over all the details of the car with me. After seeing the car in person, i loved it even more. I told Abby I would be trading my vehicle in, so he went ahead and gave me an appraisal for my vehicle which by the way was a great offer. I had some things to tie up and headed out, but I met Sean before leaving, as he was with a client when I first arrived. Sean was just as friendly and helpful as his father was. It took about a day or so and a few emails to get everything ready to go on my end, but Sean was there every step of the way and provided professional, efficient and friendly help. I have bought many cars, but it has always been a hassle and never really enjoyable. Universal Auto Group (Sean and Abby) went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with my purchase and guaranteed to take care of the little things (purchasing a spare key, replacing tags) it that needed to be done. I would most definitely be purchasing my next vehicle from hem, as well as recommending them to friends. Thank you Sean for all of your help and making my buying experience a pleasure. I love my new car!!

Sean was amazing to work with - he gave us very fair prices on the vehicle we purchased and the one we traded in. The dealership also agreed to purchase an extra key for us when we discovered they only had one - not an inexpensive thing for a Mercedes. They even gave me aguded tour of all of the bells and whistles after we completed paperwork synced my phone with the Bluetooth in the car. A plus! We will be back.

Sean was very helpful with the purchase of our second mercedes. The price was very resonable and I would definately recommend Universal Auto Group to all my friends and family. Thanks Sean!!

Outstanding car purchase experience. I found Sean the sales manager to be extremely honest and helpful. He had a very positive attitude at no time attempted to sell me on necessary add-ons or extras to the vehicle. I recommend this organization and in particular this individual for your next vehicle purchase.

I had been looking online for a pre-driven Mercedes E350 and was having difficulty finding what I wanted in my price range at dealers in my local area. So, I expanded my search to areas farther from my home and that's how I found Universal Auto. I saw a car that fit everything I was looking for and it also had a really good price. So, I made a call to them and then drove over 3 hours to from my home to see the car in person. When I got there I was warmly greeted by Abby and Sean who showed me the car and let me test drive it. It was in great shape but there were a few things that I wanted to see 'improved' on the car before I agreed to buy it. Sean said he wanted us to be happy with the car and agreed to get those things taken care of for us at no extra charge before we took it home. So, we put a deposit down and returned a week later to pick up the car. When we came back the following weekend, the car looked great and was taken care of like they promised... and the buying process was fast & easy. Then, Sean gave me a follow-up phone call about 5 days later to make sure I was happy with the car. That's great service. Not only will I refer my friends to Universal Auto when they want a car...I will gladly look to them first when I need another car in the future.

Just wanted to thank Abby and the entire staff at Universal Auto Group. Just purchased a 2013 E350 from them well below the market price and simply adore it. Abby has been a man of his word, and I will forever be buying all my vehicles from him in the future. Will be recommending Universal to all my family and friends. #LoveUniversalAutoGroup!!!

After walking out of two Mercedes dealerships, my friend recommended Universal Auto Group. They had a huge selection of beautiful cars and way better service then any of the dealerships.Ended up with a great deal on a 2011 E350, Great service and professionalism, I will definitely come here when purchasing my next vehicle.

I had the pleasure of working with Tim in June 2015, and he made the entire car buying process a good experience. I purchased a 2012 BMW 750 Lxi, which looked as good in person, as it did on the website. Tim was and has been very responsive, even after the sale. During my visit, there was a great selection of cars, which were kept in a nice facility and were displayed in a no frills manner. I knew which car I wanted and no one tried to upsell or switch me to another model. I had a minor issue with a tire, which the staff worked with me to resolve on my schedule and Tim even provided a loaner car, while the issue was being resolved, so that I did not have to miss time from the office that day. The team displayed incredible knowledge and professionalism, which is how car buying should be. When I'm in the market to buy again, I will definitely be back. I highly recommend Tim and his staff ... you can't do better.

Tim made the entire process of buying a car seemingly easy! He was very prompt with responding to email inquiries and/or returning calls. The cars were kept in a nice facility and were beautifully presented. I had a minor issue with a blown fuse in the car that I purchased and Tim and his staff researched the solution to the problem. One of his staff members even came to my job to try to fix the problem. When it couldn't be resolved there, he took it to the mechanic for me and brought it back. I never had to take time off of work for any of it! This is how car buying should always be!! When I'm in the market to buy again, I will definitely be back. I highly recommend Tim and his staff.

Whenever I walk into a dealership, I always wish I could know the price they really pay for the car, know that the car I want truly is there, deal directly with the manager, be confident that someone knowledgable about the car has ensured it is in excellent condition, and not get sucked into an exhausting prolonged pre-designed sales process. Then I'd still like to get great customer service and honest answers to my questions with genuine concern for my satisfaction in the process. Then I'd like to not have my teeth pulled Trying to get a good deal. I met Tim at Universal Auto Group only recently after doing some online research and i am happy to say I will never go to a traditional dealership again because he pretty much does all the things I listed for you. I called him up, he was down to earth and very friendly, he explained his business to me, and I asked about his pricing and inventory. I made one trip to his office to take a look at his facilities and inventory and make sure he was the real deal. It was exactly what I was looking for, a no frills business model that passes on the savings to his customers. He has a complete office which opens up to his warehouses where the cars are parked indoors. It reminded me of a scene in the movie 3 Kings where the guys walk into a warehouse, the lights come on and there are rows of luxury cars stacked in rows. I got a real kick out of that. After talking to Tim and test driving one of the cars he had, we decided on what we wanted, talked it over with him, and said we were in no hurry and were somwhat flexible on a few options and colors. But we were firm on getting a great deal. It had to be a great deal. Two weeks later I got a call from Tim that he may have found what we wanted. He then basically over delivered with a car that had more options, was in immaculate condition, and Delivered an amazing deal. Anyone could have said I got a car for you but it has so much more so it's gonna cost more but he insists that's not how he likes to do his business and would rather be fair And treat his customers right. He definitely did an unbelievable job for us. He is full service and gets all the papers, title, and plates done in 20 minutes. Hard to believe. Makes you realize how much time the dealers make you waste which annoys me. The best way to judge a business and people is how they treat you AFTER the major transaction. A few days later after we had picked up the car there was a minor issue with the car (not their fault). They took care of us, took care of the problem, and made it very easy. No hassle, just said no problem we'll take care of it that should not be an issue when you buy a car from us. Excellent customer service. Tim is a great guy, he takes care of you, and its a no hassle friendly car buying experience. The caveat is that if you need to feel like you have 3 or 4 sales people waiting on you, patting you on the back with a watered down cup of single serve coffee in your hand, surrounded by a giant glass showroom with flagship cars on display that you aren't even considering, then you should go to a nearby dealership and pay for that experience. That's ok and for some that experience is important. If you want to save money on the deal then Tim will do that for you.

The process was not long and tiresome it was rather smooth. They don't try to force anything on you they just have great cars that speak for themselves and the customer service is great. I will buy from them again.

I have dealt with so many car salespersons but I have never seen anyone as extraordinary as Mr. Tim. On 04/04/15, My family and I visited UAG to check out a 2012 Benz ML 350 4Matic and he was very receptive, courteous and has a thorough knowledge of his vehicles. His facility is very clean and all his vehicles are well kept. Mr. Tim doesn't pressurize you to buy his cars but tells you what you need to know about the vehicle you intend to buy. After purchase, he spends time to educate you about the vehicle and how you can get the most out of it. Mr. Tim is a gentleman whom you can call anytime about the vehicle if need be. He is also very honest. I wish there are more car salespersons like him. He makes buying car less stressful. Mr. Tim keep the great work going, you will always excel!

Briefly, the experience of buying my new Mercedes was just great!!! Thank you so much to Tim and his assistant. Car prices are reasonable. Customer service and process time were simply fast, easy, and extremely supportive. Next time buying a new car, I will definitely knock on their door first, to save my time from being wasted. Recommend it to everyone!!

Tim was amazing , walked me through every step and assured me what he said about the vehicle was the truth, after driving 6 hours to UAG the car was perfect ! It was all he promise and more. I could not be happier and when its time to upgrade from this E350 I will not hesitate to call him and have the vehicle shipped to me. I would highly recommend Universal Auto Group to anyone who is looking for a great vehicle from a honest dealer. Thanks UAG !!!!!! I LOVE MY NEW BENZ !!!!!

I was looking for a 750 BMW and I found it, when I spoke with Tim and he was very helpful with all my questions. The whole process was easy and fast all the paper work was ready for me when I arrived there and I was able to take the car the next day. For sure I will recommended to any one looking for a great car and fabulous professional service.

Flew down from Boston yesterday to pick up my new Mercedes GLK. TOTALLY worth the trip. Tim picked me up at the airport and, within an hour, I was on my way home. The car was exactly as represented. Excellent condition, just the car we've been looking for. Tim is a true gentleman in every sense of the word- respectful, knowledgeable, honest. He was a pleasure to work with, period, as were the other members of his staff. We got a great deal on a great car, and I would come back again in a heartbeat. Even from Boston. Thanks so much Tim-wishing you all the best.

If you are in the market for a preowned luxury car that is in great condition then you need to go see Tim and Universal Auto Group. You feel absolutely no pressure to buy but at the end you will be more educated even if you do not buy a car from them. Tim is an absolute pleasure to work with and is very honest and fair in pricing. They also have the best deals in the area. I came all the way from Virginia and be made the process as painless and smooth. I love my new car! Thanks Tim for helping us make the right choice. We look forward to buying all our vehicles from you in the future and recommending you to our friends and family.

If you're reading this review, you have probably already found a Universal Auto Group car for the right price. Now you are wondering, what's the catch? This weekend, I purchased a car from UAG, and there is in fact a catch. Instead of a brightly lit car lot prowling with attention starved salespeople, this dealership could be described as a storage facility in an industrial park. If an espresso is a requirement of your car purchase experience, this is not the place for you. If on the other hand, you are looking for an immaculate selection of cars, outstanding prices, and a no hassle/pressure purchasing experience, UAG is the right choice. You will feel like you have discovered a hidden gem because you have. Due to their inventory and prices, the sales team doesn't need to SELL...and it shows. They are friendly and courteous, and focus their energy on matching customers to their future cars. A really simple concept executed to perfection.

I've been consistently looking to purchase a new car and consitently Universal Auto Group had the best prices! When I went to check them out I felt like a kid In a candy store. The prices and inventory were nothing less then spectacular. I have a daughter on the way and needed a more reliable car with more space. I found a fully loaded e350 in their warehouse that fit my needs. This is by far the best car buying experience in life! Hassle free! Warranty! Felt like doing business with family Thank you UAG and special shout out to Tim! You truly helped me and my family! Mark

No Pressure is how buying a car should be. I had a great experience I received nothing but 1st class service from start to finish. I purchased my MB S550 and I can honestly say that Tim and his team at UAG went above and beyond my expectations. If you are looking to buy a luxury vehicle and you dont stop by and see the friendly guys at UAG, then you are doing yourself a disservice and you WILL be sorry that you didnt. I found the car I wanted for a price far below other dealers. Awesome job Tim and team. I really do love my new car, Its perfect.

Searched online for the specific car I wanted and saw that UAG had MY car. I was a little apprehensive about going to one of the smaller luxury dealerships that I knew nothing about. However, after going to the brand dealerships, negotiating, meeting sales closers and feeling pressure to buy a car I really didn't want, I decided to go to UAG where the car I wanted was priced below all the others in the area. My experience was seamless. I arrived and spoke with Abie about the car I wanted to drive. The car was pulled out of the garage and I was test driving the car in less than 10 minutes. I knew I wanted the car but I still had to think about it. Tim gave me his card and I called him later that evening and we arranged a time to meet. I purchased the car. Thanks Tim for making it so easy. I had a nice buying experience. I would definitely recommend this dealership and will be back when I'm ready to trade up.

No more countless hours at the dealership. No more "pushy salesman" experiences. Great unbeatable prices, Great customer service. Yesterday, despite the fact that they closed at 6pm. they awaited my arrival to pick up my new 2012 Porsche Cayenne and even took the time to help me connect my Bluetooth! I admit I was unsure about going to this dealership, but I did my due diligence and gave them a shot. Best decision ever!!. Tim and the guys did every little thing that made this a painless and highly appreciated experience. I highly recommend this dealership, especially to the novice car buyer who wants to ensure they are getting a great reliable vehicle at a fantastic price. I have been all over the DMV area and Tri State area buying cars in my lifetime. By far the most satisfying experience. Their cars are clean and come with an additional dealer warranty. I highly recommend them with no reservations.

This was without question the best buying experience that I have ever had. Tim is a real pro, professional, friendly , very honest , fair and well informed about the product that he sells. The car I purchased was represented as perfect and when my wife and I arrive at their facility. It was exactly that, perfect. The price I paid was well below most other asking prices . I was given a very fair price for my car as well. I would highly recommend this dealership and Tim. You will not find better.

LISTEN UP FOLKS: If you are in the market for a luxury car and want a great car buying experience, UAG is the place to go! From day one, Tim provided every detail I needed on the vehicle and responded immediately to all of my requests before, during and most importantly AFTER the sale. He realized that I was making a big decision and showed me nothing but professionalism at every stage of the process. I see Tim getting "lots of love" in the reviews here, and I need to mention that Abie, Lenny and the rest of the UAG staff were also FANTASTIC to deal with. When Tim was unavailable, they jumped in and provided the same great level and style of service, playing an integral part in making sure my needs were met. UAG let me take the vehicle to my private mechanic for inspection, they made the changes I asked for and updated the maintenance, all on their nickel. I had new tires and was reassured to know that the car was in tip top condition prior to purchase. My PRIVATE MECHANIC confirmed this!!! They have nothing to hide and do their best to see you happy and informed when they put those keys in your hands. Guys, I cannot say enough good things about how I was treated at UAG. Bravo Zulu! No pressure, experienced and credible dealers. Thanks again for your hard work and standing behind your product. You will undoubtedly see me again!! Happy Holidays - Al

Purchased a 2012 E350 Bluetec from here this past month. We had the pleasure of dealing with Tim through the entire process and honestly couldn't have had a better experience. The car we picked out was priced very competitively and Tim was happy to take care of all of our concerns. He even arranged for a ride for us to get the car! Very satisfied buyer, will be returning.

The good: - My MB E350 was as good as advertised on the web. My sales manager Tim was outstanding. Very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and not superficial like most salesmen tend to be. - Mr. Sarraf (the owner) is a gentleman and scholar. - Test drove the car for roughly 30 minutes and I believe made the deal in less time than that. All required paperwork was handled by Tim making my life that much easier. The bad: - None, not - applicable ;) Now that I have stated the facts of my purchasing experience I would like to give proper kudos to both gentlemen for their outstanding service too me. I felt like whether I bought their car or not their treatment towards me and my wife was exquisite which in turn made me feel more apt to purchase from them. I had another appointment lined up to see another car and well I did not even bother to waste time to go see it. That alone speaks volumes about the car I ultimately purchased, the price, the people, and the overall level of comfort attained while at their dealership. Without a doubt, I will purchase my next MB from them as well as recommend them to my family and friends. I would like to thank both gentlemen for a wonderful experience and oh yes for selling me a fantastic car!

AFTER SEARCHING FOR THE VEHICLE I WANTED FOR 2 MONTHS, I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP AND JUST KEEP MY PRIOR VEHICLE, AND SAW AN AD FOR THE VEHICLE THAT I WANTED. IT HAD FEWER MILES THAN THE OTHER VEHICLES I HAD RESEARCHED (2012 MERCEDES BENZ GLK 350) AND WAS PRICED $5000 LESS THAN ALL THE OTHERS. I WENT TO UNIVERSAL AUTO GROUP, AND THERE WERE TWO OF THE SAME MODEL. I TEST DROVE THE ONE I WANTED, AND CAME BACK TO THE OFFICE, TOLD THE DEALER WHAT I NEEDED FOR MY TRADE-IN AND MADE THE DEAL RIGHT THEN.TIM LAWRENSON WAS VERY INFORMATIVE, HELPFUL, AND DID NOT PRESSURE ME AT ALL.WHEN I RETURNED A WEEK LATER WITH SOME CONCERNS, THEY WERE ALL TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. THIS WAS THE BEST SALES EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD.

One dealer said the car that I was looking for, and the price that I wanted to pay it ... well, I may as well have been searching for a unicorn. Well, I was able to find that car in mint condition, with low miles and PRICED nearly 10K under the book value. I can't say enough about the treatment and attention I received from Tim at Universal. That fact that I just finished eating Thanksgiving dinner and came up to my office to give a review should say it all. Great dealer, great financing options, if you look elsewhere for a slightly used luxury vehicle then you obviously have money to burn.

I had been looking all over the place for a vehicle, then I came across Universal Auto Group where they had exactly what I was looking for and more. The price was right and the service was awesome. I met Abby first who was straight forward and honest, however he made it clear that Tim was the man I needed to speak with. Tim was wonderful from the first conversation I had with him. He assisted me with everything I needed, anytime I pick up the phone and call him he is always friendly and helpful. I would recommend this dealer to everyone looking to buy a vehicle hassle free and for a great price. Tim made this experience so wonderful that my husband is already talking about getting his next vehicle from them. Thanks Tim you are the best!!!

From the beginning Tim was honest, knowledgeable and helpful. He didn't let me get anything other than exactly what I wanted and told me the truth about why one car would be better than another. I looked around and couldn't find a better price. He was there to answer my questions even after I made the purchase and for the first time ever....he actually showed me how to use all the features in the car! Couldn't have asked for a nicer, more knowledgeable guy. Have already recommended Tim and Universal Auto Group to friends.

Tim and Abby's professionalism is first rate. The car I purchased was an excellent value and they were very accommodating to meet all requests. I would definitely refer them to my family and friends for their next car purchases. OUTSTANDING experience .

I purchased a 2012 E Class from Tim. This has been by far the easiest transaction, and I have been purchasing higher end cars over the Internet for years. From the initial conversation to the delivery, he has been extremely nice and fair. I went in, as someone mentioned earlier its hidden in an industrial area, which is great that the overhead is lower. But when he opened the garage door, it was a storage locker of high end MBs and BMWs...all looked and sounded brand new. We went for a drive, and then went in to negotiate. Tim is very fair...it was all on the table, and we shook on a deal in less then a minute (it also helped that he really knows his cars, and the market...not only in Maryland but nationally). They dropped the car off at my mechanic, and he found one issue. The conversation was not "if", but I'll have it taken care of in the morning. Finally, to top it off, Tim personally delivered the vehicle to me. If you are looking to buy a higher end vehicle , I would call Tim first. The only downside, is that I wish I would have met him six months earlier!

First i need to say Tim is such a great guy, make everything really easy and the cars they got nothing but 1 word to describe it AWESOME. I purchased a really nice Maserati quattroporte in a great condition and such a car the Maserati. Will make sure as long as this place in business all my future cars (toys) I buy it from Universal Auto Group. I also recommend it to everybody, because when you enter this place you get out with a big smile on your face and Tim is like the genie of Aladdin whatever you ask him for he got it for you, as in car purchase or car service such a great guy. Thanks a lot.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I recently started looking to buy a quality used car and a friend referred here by a friend. THANK GOODNESS because this was the easiest car buying experience I have ever had! There was no hassle about buying and I felt very comfortable working with Tim. He has a great personality and the level of service he gave was excellent! Not only did I purchase a great, reliable car but I got a great deal! Tim went out of his way to work with me and make sure that I was satisfied and that means allot to me! I haven't stopped telling my family, friends and even strangers about this place yet!

So I bought a 2011 E class. The price was lower than any similar car in the country. The car is in great condition. The check engine light came on they promptly fixed it. The process was so smooth that I referred a friend who bought a 2013 elantra. Once again there was no similar elantra in the country even close in price. The only downside is the place is hard to find and they don't advertise. The lack of advertising and a class a facility are reflected in the price of the car.

I was in the market for a Mercedes GL for commuting b/c of the comfortable seat. I called and spoke to Tim who arranged for me to come in at my convenience. He confirmed the car had all the features I was looking for. When I got to the location in Silver Spring, the car was out front. Tim is very knowledgeable re Mercedes having worked for them for many years previously. He explained how he has the cars inspected to identify the common problems that arise. He also gets them detailed immediately prior to delivery. Instead of the GL I bought an S550 and am loving it. The "negotiation" was so easy. He offered a great price and I took it. He keeps the margins and overhead super low. Tim really goes the extra mile and you can tell he is getting satisfaction from the happy customers that come from running a business the right way. I expect to be a repeat customer and highly recommend.

Before going to Universal Auto Group, the mere thought of shopping for a vehicle would make me cringe. I hated the run-around and games of other dealerships. Tim and his team have completely changed my perspective. Tim is incredibly knowledgable and helpful and the the vehicles are great. The friendly and professional manner in which they do business truly make car buying a pleasant experience. Not only did I find my perfect car at the perfect price, but I have also found the perfect dealership and I could not be happier! You will NOT be disappointed with Universal Auto Group.

After a pleasant drive to Silver Spring, we had the most pleasant automotive purchasing experience! This small and personable dealership has a variety of luxurious used vehicles and very knowledgable for all makes and models. We were able to test drive many different vehicles which helped us make our final decision. We drove away with a wonderful Panamera at a wonderful price! Big dealerships have big prices. Tim and his staff were courteous, knowledgeable and several thousand dollars less than those flashy, high pressure dealers. Take the time and check them out, you won't regret it.

I have been searching online for almost 3 months when I interested in the BMW 328i. I came across Universal Auto Group on the internet. I drove there last Saturday and looked at their cars. Everything on the lot was beautiful. The staff was very friendly and not pushy salesmen. I got the pleasure of test driving the BMW 328i and fell in love with it. Thank you Tim and staff. I would recommend Universal Auto Group to anyone whose looking for a nice vehicle.

I usually dread buying a car, but the service at Universal Auto Group was awesome. As a customer, I could not be happier with the experience. There was no pressure to buy anything. All of the vehicles were well maintained and are of great value considering the prices; high end without the high end price tag! All of the staff went out of their way to help me make the best choice to suit my needs.They even brought my car to me. Who could ask for more? I would definitely utilize their services the next time I am in the market for a vehicle.
