I was kept in the loop on ALL things pertainingto the vehicle. I absolutely appreciated the professionalism and outstanding customer service from my salesman, Cameron. When I purchase my next vehicle, I will shop here first!
I recently purchased my car here and had a great experience! I worked with Jessica and Chip, who
were both extremely helpful throughout the process. They worked hard to make sure I got the best
rate possible, and Jessica took the time to clearly explain all the warranties available so I could make
informed decisions. The entire experience was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. I would definitely
come back here for my next car purchase and highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent
customer service!

Quick and full detail response very helpful

We bought from them excellent experience
If u got ur act together, it will be a breeze. Because, they really got their act
together. When I arrived from Charlotte, NC Jessica greeted me with a hug. So
u feel good about giving up ur money...LOL But ur gaining a real nice car in
return. They have an awesome selection..
One unfortunate experience ....I discovered the touchless lift gate wasn't
working so I took my car to the dealership. It was discovered that someone cut
the wire so the repair would not be covered under the warranty. After informing
Universal Auto (Sean, owner) about the issue I was given a hard time regarding
the repair. This changed my initial rating since it was definitely not the service I
would have expected after purchasing the vehicle and discovering this feature
was not checked prior to selling the car. I was able to have the repair done at a
reasonable cost which Universal Auto did pay for it.

A very informative and strong dealer. They patiently walked through their process with no pressure and offered a number of
potential options. I felt completely comfortable and would definitely do business with them in the future. Great experience!!

The car had recalls that needed to be done, so I notified the dealer because of the nature of the car
company being out of service to get this done. The dealership gave me the name and the number of a
local tech to take care of the issues. One issue was a water pump replacement which I had to drive the
car over 3 hours on a recall water pump. The dealership is a AS IS, dealership mostly. The sales person
was great but I believe they should at least take care of the recalls before a person drives off the lot.
The total cost to take care of the issues ended up costing me over $1,7000 for this car. No, the
warranty they offer wouldn't cover these costs. Because of the issues and the safety factor! Not happy!

Response from current dealership:
Hi Tyrone,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
To clarify, we are not an “AS IS” dealer. In fact, nearly 99.9% of the vehicles we've sold over the past 20 years have included a warranty either from the manufacturer, from us, or both.
In your case, we were transparent from the beginning about the unique situation with Fisker. We explained that because the manufacturer had gone out of business, the vehicle would no longer carry a manufacturer warranty. We also did our best to clear

It was a great experience with great service. They were very quick to response and answered every questions I had. Got a good car at good price. Happy with entire experience with Universal Auto Group.
Great conversation with the dealer, very upfront with the vehicle and the cost. Has a lot of experience with cars. Offered a lot
of information and was honest. Sent me a lot of information and encourage me to do as much research as possible before
purchasing the vehicle I was interested in.

Very responsive
I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a vehicle from Univseral Auto Group, and I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with
this outstanding dealership. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, and the level of customer service I received was truly
exceptional.
First and foremost, the showroom itself is impressive, showcasing a wide range of vehicles from various makes and models. The
dealership's clean and organized layout made it easy to navigate and explore the options available. The staff members were not only
knowledgeable but also approachable and eager to assist without being pushy.
I was particularly impressed with the professionalism and courtesy of the sales team. My sales representative, John, went above and
beyond to understand my needs and preferences. He patiently answered all of my questions, provided valuable insights, and ensured that I
felt confident in my decision.

I found a beautiful BMW 745e on CarGurus and contacted Universal about it. Drove
four hours, and the car was sitting there waiting when we pulled up. Raj, who I had
been in contact with, greeted us and we took the car for a nice test drive on different
road conditions. I had also seen an 8 series coupe, and Raj was able to arrange a test
drive for that car as well. Ultimately decided on the 7 series hybrid, and we moved onto
meet with Jessica to work out the details. She was able to work some magic and get us
a really good rate for the current climate, and get us where we wanted to be with
extended warranties, and payments! It was a seemless experience, no hidden fees
($500 dealer fee, tags, taxes, and that's IT), and very professional. Would definitely do
business with them again!

Great experience

Excellent, quick to respond
Jan 31, 2023
Top notch dealership; extremely nice and professional. Accommodating to show you all their cars available.
Dealer was nice and responsive but I wasn't able to test drive the car on my visit initially. There were other vehicles blocking the Porsche and it was disappointing for me because I traveled over 70miles too see and test drive the vehicle. Not sure if I'll pursue this vehicle anymore after finding out that Porsche E-Hybrids are notorious for battery problems. Hope this message helps others with their search.
Nov 10, 2022
Honest communication. Quick to response. Good experience overall
Oct 21, 2022
Best car buying experience I've ever had. Friendy and professional. I highly recommend them.
Jul 11, 2022
Very responsive but lacking the level of detail specific to mpgs and mpge to support a claim of up to 51 mpgs. All dealers struggle answering this question with technical data.
The location is a little different, they don't have big lot where you see rows of parked
cars. The cars are parked in a garage one behind the other. At first we decided to drive
away from the location but then I though let's just get down and check, since we drove
45 minutes to get there.
I was greeted by Sean (the owner) and everything start to change from there, he
treated us like friends and their car collection is nice and the cars are in pretty good
condition. This is my 5th car and never had such a smooth and pleasant experience of
buying a car. Above all they don't add different type of charges on top of the car price
you see online, a very nominal processing fee which is way below the average dealer
fee.
If you looking to buy a pre-owned car, I would highly recommend visiting Universal Auto
Group at least once.
Mar 26, 2022
The dealership was very prompt with my
question. The salesman answered all my
questions either by phone or text.
This dealer was prompt in responding to questions and answered them directly right from the
start. I thought that was impressive when compared to some other dealers They also did not
appear to be hiding any fees. And from what I can tell, they didn't have this exorbitant processing
fee like some other dealers have which many times includes charges for washing/vacuuming
their car to sell to you.

We purchased this 350 Mercedes-Benz! Peter Manny from Universal Auto Group was extremely thorough. He contacted us immediately, very detailed in the information he shared. Extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. He answered all of our questions & did a FaceTime walkthrough of the car with us and went over all the fine details. The car with everything he said it would be and we were extremely satisfied with the quick delivery from Maryland to Charlotte, North Carolina following our purchase. I highly recommend Peter Manny!
Jul 3, 2021
We currently await this car, bought after paying in full yesterday. Thanks to CarGuru and really thankful to Peter Manny from Universal Auto Group! Decent, prompt and fast! Highly recommend, especially after dealing with Florida car dealership, who magically added more than $3000 extra for inexplainable "dealer prep" fees to another smart's price tag, which we had to pass mainly to the fishy business!! Peter made my day and sure enough we did business! Look no further for quality provider!
Jun 22, 2021
Great car buying experience. Peter was great, communicating mostly through emails.
Peter was very helpful. He emailed me right away when i sent a inquiry and once I answered back with
questions, he called to walk me through everything. I ended up deciding to look for a gas option instead of
electric, but will keep this dealership in mind as an option to purchase from. All the information is available
online, but there is a real person behind it to help.
May 25, 2021
Peter was great! Very helpful and not pushy at all. If I ever need another car I will seek him out!
Apr 18, 2021
Great
Great!!! I dealt with Peter and he made the entire process very easy..He took time to explain the car in
detail including face timing me to point out all the features...He took all my calls and answered all my
questions. He wanted me to feel comfortable with my purchase and I absolutely was!!! I highly
recommend Peter and his dealership!!!
Jan 26, 2021
Very professional and competent staff. Will definitely purchase my next vehicle from here as well. I really appreciate their honesty as they showed that they can be trusted. I highly recommend Universal Auto Group.
Dec 13, 2020
The sale person was very attentive, helped me look at options
Oct 24, 2020
Peter was my salesman and he was fabulous! He knew the car inside out and made everything so easy! Had my car delivered to me from Maryland to Michigan in 2 days. Great experience
Oct 16, 2020
He responded quickly.
Sep 10, 2020
Very professional and helpful. Peter is a top of the line salesmen.
Universal Auto Group was awesome! They handled every detail from negotiations to financing and even took time (twice) to teach me all the bells and whistles of my car. My vehicle is better than advertised. And their warehouse was full of beautiful premium vehicles. Highly recommend them.

Salesman has a very difficult job. In one hand he is trying to have customer’s satisfaction and another hand he wants to keep the sale to make their bosses happy. Most of the times those hands are tight but how he gets himself out from those two factors, that takes years of experience. If dealer or finance manager mess something up which happens just about 99% of time, salesman could lose a sales and get a bad reviews. In my case, I look at the bigger picture and I experienced Mr. Peter is very diligent, honest, and absolutely very loyal. He would go above and beyond to help out and keep the purchase in process in very smooth & safe manners. There were few hiccups in my situation but he fixed them. It was my experience with him that I went for a test drive and bought the car. I just hope all dealers/managements/finance people should start thinking like a salesman. I certainly would go back to him for purchases for me and for others.
Aug 12, 2020
Peter was quite knowledgeable about the 450SL and he was very professional awesome guy on point I give him 200% and the thing I like about him he is so humble and gracious
Jul 20, 2020
very easy to work with, we facetimed to see the car before purchase and it is on its way. looking forward to getting the car.
Jun 13, 2020
Great customer service and beautiful cars no problems

Super experience. Went out of their way to provide top notch service. Did video call review / walk around of vehicle. Virus outbreak prevented purchase right now, but will make purchase in future once country recovers from virus.

Very professional and personal with me. I'm sorry that they sold the car before I could get there. Great dealership. I highly recommend them.
Dec 21, 2019
Dealer answered promptly
Universal Auto Group is the TRUTH!!! They immediately answered my Car Gurus inquiry, welcomed my wife & I into their facility without a scheduled appointment (it was just before closing), and provided us "Top Class" service throughout our time together. We were so impressed with their quality vehicles, their ample knowledge of my vehicle, and their fair market prices that we decided to visit again the very next day to test drive and purchase my dream car (2016 MB S550)!! Thank you for everything Peter, Alex, and Sean (owner)!!!
Peter and Alex provided us with an excellent new-to-us car at a very competitive price. Peter was gracious and
welcoming, and Alex was kind and very helpful in completing the transaction and getting us financing at a rate that beat
our credit union. Thank you for an excellent experience and a beautiful car. UAG is an independent dealer or mostly
mercedes benz. They have a large inventory of good, clean used cars in a warehouse-like space in and industrial park in
Silver Spring, MD. They go out of their way to be kind and helpful, they tend to stick to their asking price, but they offer
other services such as financing and extended warranties with good deals -- they are basically providing those as more
of a service for your convenience, than a profit center, and it shows, which is a good thing. If you want a beautiful, clean
car, at a competitive price then UAG is a good choice.

This was the most awesome car shopping experience. Peter is a top notch customer service represrntative. I use that word because he's more than a Salesman. He actually takes time to show you the car in detail. He helps you get to the car dealership free of charge from the airport. He stays in constant contact with you during the whole car purchasing experience. What he shows you on video chat is exactly what you get. He's a very warm and understanding customer service representative who has no problem answering any question you may have. Though I came and got my car if in the future I need another car I would feel confident having them shipped the car to me. Thank you Ali for picking me up he was on time. He was very kind. And he showed me different highlights of this city during our 30-minute Drive. Thank you Zak for getting me back to 495. It was wonderful to have you contact me while I was on the road ensuring that I was okay. I don't remember the finance man's name but thank you.
Oct 7, 2019
They were very helpful, they responded to my questions. Thanks.
I have a very enjoyable experience with these guys. From the first time I saw the car posted online. Sean sent me pics before they were
posted, which got me interested in the car. I was greeting when I came in with respect. They let me know my options in terms of financing.
I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get the vechile, but they worked with the bank and was able to get me financed and buy out my
present car. after working the numbers and agreeing to a deal, I came in.. all the paperwork was ready for me to sign. Fastest car buying
transaction EVER. The car was cleaned and detailed. Even got a oil change prior to delivery. And they had the fluids filled and rechecked
before I drove off the lot.
I was referred to them by my best friend, I will say, it was a great choice. I'd recommend them for your car buying needs. GREAT GROUP
OF GUYS!!!!
The Salesman Peter was Awesome, he didnt just treat us like numbers or money in the bank, he protected us and our credit by asking some questions before just pulling my credit after I had submitted the online application. That's a good man and really a Great Dealership. I was in the Car biz for better part of a decade and when online applications came in typically the financial department would spin it around the world and then call the customer. Not Universal, they made sure They had what I wanted and If I was willing to come there to get it. GOOD people A+

I bought their car and had an excellent experience
with their sells representive Peter. Peter was very
knowledgeable about the car and very honest in his
representation of the car. He had the car transported
to our home and when it arrived it was how he
represented the car to be. I would highly recommend
Universal Auto Group and Peter.

Peter was extremely helpful and great to work with.
Mar 16, 2019
They respond quickly and were very communicative. I got all the information i needed.
As a car enthusiast who has owned more than 20 vehicles, I can easily state, “This was the very best car buying experience I have ever had.” From my initial call to signing on the dotted line, Mike gave me the VIP treatment. His genuine professionalism was unparalleled. I will definitely be purchasing from him again in the future. I just became a new customer for life! Gary

Peter Manning from UAG has been the Real Deal from the start responding to my email phone calls and FaceTime professional knowledgeable and good listener during the entire process.. MJ
This dealership knows and understands their product. Just from the write ups alone on vechiles you will know this. Very informative and knowledgeable, prompt response, very professional, no high pressure sales, ensure customer satisfaction and personable. This is rare to have all this at one dealership so very impressed.

Dec 23, 2018
Very professional courteous and friendly
AMAZING!!!!!!! From the moment I spoke to Peter .their lead sales person , to working
with Sean, one the owners, it was an excellent experience. Since I flew in to check out
cars , they offered to helped facilitate rides to and from Washington Reagan airport for
me. I spent over four hours test driving six different cars , which they were more than
happy to do. Never once did I feel pressured to buy from them. Even after I decided
that day not to buy any one particular car. Instead I took the night to think about which
car I wanted to purchase. The next day I flew back in ,made arrangements to be picked
back up and finished the transaction without a hitch. Since I was taking the vehicle out
of state immediately I had concerns if I uncovered any issues with my car on my 6 1/2
hour drive home whether this auto group would stand behind my purchase and correct
any issues. An issue was found and taken care of immediately! 5 stars for theses guys.
Ill be back to buy again for sure.
Dec 2, 2018
Great experience.
Found another car I liked from their inventory.
Oct 26, 2018
I purchased the vehicle and transaction ran smoothly. Each employee I encountered was well versed in their role. All vehicles are kept indoors. I really liked that, plus they were exceptionally detailed inside and out.
Oct 7, 2018
From first contact to delivery of car (about 1 week), to follow up afterwards,
the dealer rep was very professional and helpful!
Sep 13, 2018
Yeah I know everyone gives them five stars. I was skeptical but trust me they respond quickly and have been great to work with do far. Now if only this freaking hurricane will get out of the way so they can deliver my car!
Sep 6, 2018
I would rate Universal Auto Group as the best dealership I have ever
dealt with and at age 75 I have dealt with many. Their representative
Peter was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. The deal
could not have went smoother, there were no loose ends. Highly
recommended!
From the moment I first expressed my interest in this car until it was delivered to my home three weeks later, I received wonderful and personal service from their sales person Peter Manny.
Peter worked with me each step of the way answering all of my questions and providing detailed information to help me with the initial selection and ultimate purchase of my vehicle. Manny, together with Ali, were consummate professionals who definitely knew the cars, the previously-owned automobile market, and assuaging the concerns of Internet buyer’s.
I highly recommend Universal Auto to anyone interested in purchasing a quality vehicle from a quality dealer.
Jun 6, 2018
Peter responded to me immediately. Definitely would recommend them.
Sean and Universal Auto Group is the best dealer I have ever dealt with. He goes the extra mile for you and tries very hard to get you in the car. The whole dealership is very professional and knowledgeable. I will not buy a Mercedes from any other dealer but Universal Auto Group. If you want someone that is professional, knowledgeable of cars especially Mercedes? You need to come on down to Universal Auto Group and purchase. It'll be the best experience you've ever had in purchasing a car.
May 13, 2018
Phenomenal guys with excellent knowledge of Mercedes. They worked with us and we got my car in less 48. Alex found us a lower rate and full value. Sean was extremely pleasant and cool. Loving our new baby. Thanks guys.
Apr 26, 2018
The dealer was very patience, polite and professional try really hard to get us
financing but it just wasn't in the cards.
Mar 20, 2018
Great deal for a car in mint condition! I’d highly recommend buying a car at Universal Auto!
Dec 13, 2017

Excellent boutique firm with extensive expertise of Mercedes-
Benz. They are willing to point out not only the attributes of a
specific car, but also its potential deficits--depending on your
driving needs. Very high integrity level.
