Very poor service. Went in to look at a jeep. Im sure everyone is tired of masks, but no one had it on. No big deal, I had mines. Someone did end up helping us look at the jeep on the outside. When I asked to look inside, Miles, the salesman asked for an ID. I asked why and he said he needed an ID so he can get the keys. Ive never been asked for an ID just to look at a car. Ive bought 3 cars from them before and have sent several people. I left and actually met the sales manager at my car. I explained to him what happened and left.Update. I tried calling back to speak to this manager who left the feedback. He is no where to be found. Its been just a run around from one location to the next. No big deal now, Ill spend my money somewhere else.
I’m rating this a 5 star! These people were great! My salesperson was Gary and he was very helpful and knowledgeable on every question I had. The whole process was very smooth. I’m happy I was able to leave with a vehicle that I really love, and also knowing that he is there if I have any questions! I’ve gone to other places looking and this was by far the best experience, they literally hooked a girl up and gave me every piece of information I needed to know especially me being a first time car buyer! Truly recommend this dealership.Thanks Gary!
The sign up process was excellent. I went in and Miles was friendly and patient. He helped me fill out the application step by step and did his best to ensure that I would walk out with the car I wanted. The car needed a little work which took a few days. I called Miles everyday to check on my car, but he never got frustrated with me. Shout out to the service department who were very thorough when it came to the maintenance. Overall a friendly and nice staff. No issues with the vehicle so far and I’m very satisfied. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a nice variety of cars for reasonable prices :)
He was a great sales person he took her I need Xanax you ever look into her new or used vehicle please ask for Miles and Universal Auto
Just bought a 2010 Chevy Silverado for below NADA book value..the entire experience from finding the truck online and talking to the internet dept, to the intial appointment and testride...everything was seamless. Oursalesperson Tanya was incredible, they never tried to pressure me and the financing was quick, easy, and reasonable. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a newer vehicle...FIVE STARS it was an absolute pleasure doing business with Universal Auto Plaza....
I give this place 5 stars for excellent service! Thomas was very helpful and made sure I knew all my options before making a decision. He was very helpful. I never felt like I was getting scammed or didn’t know all of the details during the process. I recommend this dealership and sales rep!
Thomas was very professional and made this experience easy. There was no slimy feeling and nothing was hidden. He allowed me to watch everything he was doing with the paperwork. At no point did I wonder what was taking so long. I recommend Universal Auto Plaza to anyone looking for a good vehicle at a good price.
I’ve bought a couple of cars from this lot.for the most part good communication awesome salesman, but this last time I have shopped was not a good experience. I got told by one of the salesman that I was wasting his time because I was interested in multiple vehicles. He also stated, “don’t come to me if you’re wanting to drive 4-5 cars” called management to make a complaint the following business day and the manager seem to not care at all.
I feel most car dealerships are crooked but this one flat out will steal money from you. After being told I could put a 100% refundable deposit on a truck,I did so. I decided a few days later that I did not want that truck as I found out it had been smoked in. Anyways it has been a couple of months now and multiple attempts to get my deposit back I am forced to try small claims court.
I had been looking for a used cargo or passenger van and had looked at several places before I found what I was looking for at Universal Auto. My salesman, Thomas Griddine, was wonderful! He made the process quick and easy. After the sale, I had an issue with a check engine light. The service dept. went above and beyond in making sure my used car ran like new. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a used car try Universal Auto first. Save yourself some time.
We had a great experience at Universal Auto Plaza and it’s all due to Mike “Miles” Liles! He made us feel like longtime friends right from the beginning, very helpful, honest and not pushy. Made us feel like he had our best interest at heart and helped us find the right car for our family. Thanks for everything, Sir... Great experience! Ask for Miles.
Thomas Griddine was our sale agent. He was very laid back and not pushy. He showed me the car that I wanted and made me a good deal. Made a great offer on my trade-in. I called Thomas right before they closed and told him I wanted to pick the car up that night instead of the next day. He was getting ready to walk out the door but stayed an extra 40 minutes so that i could get the car that night. I really appreciated the whole experience. I will buy from them again.
Universal auto plaza was adamant to get me approved. Randy and Tanya have been taking care of the few problems I have, and they’ve been very prompt to do so. They’re even getting me a loaner to get me around until repairs are done. They are transparent and have made sure I’m taken care of every step of the way. I was upset at first but they’re making sure I’m taken care of and happy with the service and product they’re providing. I’d be happy to shop here again because they’re taking care of me. I’m pretty happy. Don’t be afraid to address any problems you have, they will put you first.
We found Universal Auto while looking for an affordable, reliable car for our teenager. It was such an easy and friendly experience that we came back to trade in my husbands car and purchase a truck. We worked with Tanya Ree both times. She is very genuine and you can tell she really cares that you are taken care of and happy.
We bought an SUV in May and Thomas was so helpful. Never once did we feel pressured throughout the entire process. They explained each step and made it super easy and quick. Three months later, Thomas called to check in and made sure everything was going okay. We will definitely be back and recommend them to anyone looking to buy a vehicle.
Gary was easy to work with and straight forward from beginning to end. My car took longer than it was supposed to getting through inspection, but otherwise a great experience. If they have the car you’re looking for it’s a good place to go.
Tanya Ree was polite, professional, exceedingly knowledgeable about all fields I had questions and concerns over, and also incredible to talk with. There wasnt a thing that I couldnt discuss with her about what I was looking for in a vehicle that she wasnt prepared to help me find exactly what I both wanted and needed. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for a vehicle to go here and ask specifically for her. Absolutely awesome.
We had a great experience with this dealership. Gary Hogan was wonderful to work with and put no stress on us at any time. Very professional and accommodating to everything we asked. Would highly recommend asking for Gary if you are looking for your next vehicle at this dealership.
I wanted to thank Thomas. He did a great job! He was there and responded quickly to questions and assisted me with any issue that came up. I found the car I wanted. Things was very quick and efficient in helping me move through the process with ease. They even saved me a quarter percent on the financing. Overall, the best buying experience Ive had in purchasing a vehicle. Thank you, Thomas and Universal Auto Plaza.
Thomas found me a truck that was exactly what I was looking for. Its turned out to be a great vehicle and Ive had no problems with it. He guided me through the buying process quickly and was there with answers for me when I had licensing questions after the sale.It was a no- pressure experience from start to finish and I strongly recommend that anyone looking for a vehicle talk to him first.
Dennis helped me dining the perfect vehicle for me super quick and easy! Great person with some great conversation! Roger in Financials was awesome! Quick, easy to understand, and efficient which is great to have when making such a large purchase! Whole team there seemed to be on top of all business and enjoying it as well!! Thanks for the 2016 Ford Explorer y’all!!
I have purchased multiple vehicles over the internet, and this is my first with Universal Auto Plaza. I would highly recommend this dealership as they were the most diligent that I have worked with. I was helped initially by Becky Williams but completed the process with Tanya Ree. Tanya was excellent throughout the process and worked meticulously to keep me informed and help me through the process. They offered to pick me up from the airport and in fact, Tanya picked me up from my hotel to complete my purchase. She really went the extra mile to make sure my vehicle was accurately depicted and was willing to answer any question. Thank you Tanya!!!
Great experience. I bought the car online and traveled in to pick it up. There was an issue with the vehicle that they fixed immediately to my satisfaction. Dennis White provided excellent customer service and made the experience both smooth and enjoyable. I would definitely buy another car from them.
Gary Hogan was my salesman and was very helpful and friendly and made the process quick and easy. My experience was great other than feeling pressured into buying an extra warranty that I did not wrong want. However this was not done by Gary. I love my car and would recommend this dealership.
It was great working with Tanya at Universal Auto Plaza. I really appreciated that when I gave the range of my budget she started at the bottom rather than the top and didnt try to sell me a vehicle based on the monthly payment for it. She kept in contact with me throughout the process to inform me if anything happened with any of the cars I was looking at. UAP took care of all of the repairs I asked for before I bought the car. It was a good experience overall.
No high pressure sales tactics here!! Had a great experience with Thomas Griddine picking out my truck! He is very patient and does a good job of following up without bugging you. After looking around town for a month or two, I ended up coming back to Universal to find Thomas and he helped me find exactly what I was looking for.
Had a great experience with this dealershipIf you go there Ask for Thomas The salesman.Good honest guy. Made it easy for me. Fastest vehicle purchase I’ve ever done.I’d would recommend them.
We had been looking for a truck for my husbands work. Last week he drove to Kentucky only to find the dealer lied about how good the truck was. He found a truck here and worked with Mike “miles” Liles. He was honest and even said don’t make the drive let me get truck ready. It was a 470 mile trip one way!! Truck in excellent condition at a decent price. Mike is great to work with!!
Diverse selection of inventory to choose from. Over 250 cars to look at!!!
I cant express how great my experience was with this company. The salesman, Mike Rowe was amazing to work with. He made us feel like we were old friends, not just another customer. All of the staff are very friendly. The cars are surprisingly low mileage (20,000 on the one I purchased) and the trade in value they gave us was the same we were offered by a large Ford dealership, so we know they are fair. The car I purchased needed significant touch up paint done to both the front and back bumper areas as well as the driver side door. I was told they would touch it up for free. I was skeptical. They made an appointment for a couple weeks later to bring the car back in (they have their own body shop). I took the car in and they gave me a loaner car! You dont ever hear of car lots doing that unless its a new car dealership, and even then, its iffy! So, I waited to write my review until after the entire process was finished. I wanted to be sure the service and follow-through was as good of an experience as the purchase. Im beyond thrilled with the body shop. They told me itd be hard to match it perfectly, but they did it! You cant tell at all. Talk about under promising and over delivering!!! They also detailed my car! Were already planning our next car purchase from them! Thank you Mike Rowe and Universal. I highly recommend this place.
Miles was very helpful and a class act start to finish. I didnt feel over pressured and he got me the exact value that I requested for my trade Im. To top it all off, he made sure the car was inspected and ready the day of the purchase at my request. Best used car salesman Ive ever worked with.
I had a good experience over all and Tanya was amazing and very professional. I was treated fairly and politely. I had a lot of questions and she answered them well with no beating around the bush. Quick and thorough. I would recommend waiting for her when shopping here no doubt.
This is my 3rd vehicle I have purchased at Universal Auto! They are great to work with and they dont play the car games that you go through at other dealerships. Tanya, our sales woman is absolutely fantastic! She is so nice and tells it like it is. I would definitely check them out for your next vehicle!
Thomas Griddine in sales helped get me in a new vehicle. Made the process easy and was great to work with! There are a few issues with the car but he got us down for it to be serviced, which we will do in about a month. Once everything is fixed up, seems like itll be the perfect ride.
Tom, our salesman, was terrific. Buying a car here was one of the best experiences that I have ever had at an auto dealership. I would certainly recommend anyone looking for a car, to stop in here first, they will treat you right. TRUST ME!!!
My wife and I recently purchased an SUV from Thomas Griddine. He made the whole process very easy and made us feel comfortable as first time car buyers. We didnt feel pressured and the whole team at Universal Auto Plaza was willing to work with our needs to find the best solution possible. We would absolutely recommend!
Tanya was super awesome, super helpful, And very professional. I really enjoyed my experience with her. She was very helpful and attentive to my needs/wants.. 15/5 stars if I could.
I bought a truck from Dennis at Universal a while back. It was a great experience all around, and the truck has been wonderful. If you are looking for a good used vehicle, Id highly recommend Universal, and make sure to find Dennis when you go in.
We worked with Thomas and he was such a pleasure to work with. We didnt feel any pressure to buy and felt like he really listened to our needs and wants. He really made the process smooth and painless. One of, if not, the best experiences weve ever had with a dealership.
Great experience here getting my new Lexus, they have some of the best inventory for luxury cars without going to the big dealerships. Thomas Griddine was an excellent rep. And made the process very smooth and quick.
Gary was my salesman, he went above and beyond to help me get into my new/used car. He was calm and reassuring when I thought it wasnt going to happen. Thank you to Great staff and Everyone involved.
The sale of my truck with over perfectly no issues there. But I had issues with my truck less than 2 weeks of driving. They said they could get me in and it would only take a couple of days. 1 week later still no truck. Called but feel like I was given the runaround told me it was gonna be another week or 2. Going to get my truck back and take it somewhere else.
Hands down, this is the best dealership I have ever gone to. Everyone was just so nice and honest, you can tell that they were there for you. I had the pleasure of meeting Tanya Ree and having her help me out throughout the whole process, she was amazing and always felt like she was 100% honest with me. She never tried to push anything down my throat like a lot of other dealerships do, she allowed me to take my time and answered all the questions I had. Never felt rushed or forced into a deal of some kind. Cant say enough kind words about this dealership, everyone I met throughout the whole process was great.Thank you so much! Would recommend this place all day, every day if youre looking for a vehicle.
What can I say about universal auto Plaza …..Well went online one day saw the Lexus 460 L I’ve been looking for a while that made me pull the trigger ….and Thomas was my salesman and Randy got me qualified so I was happy the staff is awesome SherriI took my car in then Tammy scheduled it with Chuck and his team got it road ready and on top of that …They were very nice and sweet I’m looking to come back again and get another one thank you guys plus they had somebody I used to work with working here which is Mike Rowe awesome guy ….Whole team is great thank you Universal Auto Plaza and onceAgain Thank Thank Thank Thomas for getting my ready for the road 🤙
I had a with wonderful experience from beginning to the end with Logan! He truly listened to what I was looking for and what type of vehicle I wanted. He went above and beyond my expectations! I really did appreciate his sincere and not at all pushy attitude to sale me a car unlike most car dealerships I have been into the past.
Universal Auto is the best. I just recently bought a truck with them… If you need a rig get with TANYA she’s the best!!! From start to finish I had a great experience and I will give them a shot on vehicles from now on!!
Excellent experience. I bought my car with Tommy Griddine’s assistance and couldn’t recommend him enough! He personally washed my car for me before I came to pick it up. All in all a great car purchasing experience.
I bought a 2014 Ford Escape from here. Thomas was amazing. I will definitely give his name for anyone looking for a used vehicle. Thank you
I want to give a big shoutout to Thomas! The reason I bought my vehicle from Universal Auto Plaza is only because of Thomas! A friend of mine had looked at a car from there and he was the sales person. When it was time for me to buy I sought him out. Thank you Thomas for being the very best
Thomas Gordine is a rock star. Up front and straight forward. Great service and communications all and all a great experience. Will definitely be returning for my next purchase.
Dennis is awesome thats all you need to know. Go see him and check out there awesome selection of vehicles. This is my 5th vehicle purchase from Universal auto in blue springs, MO and I will never go anywhere else. They go out of there way to make sure your happy with your purchase no matter what!
Thomas Griddine was extremely helpful. We live an hour and a half away, but Thomas made the process easy enough that we only had to make one trip to their location. The Services Department was backed up, but when our vehicle was available, Thomas delivered the vehicle to our home!
I would highly recommend buying a vehicle from here, Thomas Griddine was my salesman and he was out in the rain walking me around showing me trucks. After buying my truck he called to make sure I was happy with my truck. If anyone is looking ask for Thomas.
Tanya was so friendly and honest. I felt very comfortable talking to her and I knew she had the best interests in me getting the perfect car. I highly recommend asking for Tanya at Universal Auto Plaza if you are on the market for a used car.
Thomas is great! Super helpful and friendly. He made my vehicle purchase experience quick and easy.
Solid buying experience with Universal Auto! We started with an online representative Zack, who got us aligned with our Salesperson, Tanya. Both Zack and Tanya were extremely helpful in working with us on some very good terms relative to the price of the car we purchased. This dealership has a lot of very nice inventory of vehicles, of what are most likely bought at sales. A lot of these vehicles have come off of lease, and have low mileage, still under manufacturer warranty along with being in exceptional good condition! We set another appointment for the purchase where their close process was fast and very well organized!
I purchased a car from Universal Thomas Griddine was my salesman, he was great. The process was easy. The car was missing one of the hubcaps. Sherry in service replaced with 4 new because they could not match what was already on. Had good experience with Sherry as well. I purchased my car June 14th. So far I am pleased with everything.
The salesman Thomas I would give him 5 stars. The problem I had they was supposed to fix some rock chips and scratches but didnt and traveling 4.5 hrs one way to pick up a truck I couldnt do much about it. They told me they dont charge any fees but I had a 3700.00 fee on the contract. Unfortunately I didnt catch until later. Other than that Im pleased with my truck and would not hesitate to buy from them again Ill just make sure everything is taken care of before I take a road trip.
We bought a 2008 Tacoma from Miles Liles and the process was absolutely ideal. Miles was as professional as can be and worked hard with Roger, the finance manager, for us to get exactly what we needed, no hassle at all. I couldnt be happier with our experience.
Thomas was amazing!! He helped me buy my first car at 18 with an amazing monthly payment that I could afford. He was 100% truthful and walked me through every step making sure I knew what I was getting into. Thomas was also very flexible with schedules while trying to get down to the dealership. I definitely recommend coming to see him. He does some amazing work!! Thank you Thomas!!
Worked with Tommy to get my new to me Tiguan. Went to just look and ended up driving home with a new car, and no pressure. It was a pleasant easy experience for car buying. It almost felt surreal 👍🏼
Gary was extremely helpful today and even helped me purchase my first car today.He’s a great guy and I wish him nothing but the best in the near future
Thomas was a lot of help! I appreciate everything that was done for me here. Definitely recommend.
Thomas Griddine made purchasing a new vehicle very pleasant and painless. It took a couple of weeks to get my car, but they placed me in a loaner until it was ready for pickup. Thank you Thomas
I have enjoyed purchasing my truck from Universal. Our salesman ‘Thomas Griddine’ was very helpful. This is my family’s third vehicle purchased from Universal and highly recommend them.
I worked with Tanya to find my new car and she couldn’t have been more helpful! She was so nice and made the experience very quick and easy. I used to hate going to car dealerships but this experience has completely changed my mind! Even when the check engine light came on a few days later, Tanya dropped everything to get the car into service on a Saturday! I couldn’t recommend them more! Thanks so much Tanya!!
Gary Hogan was a dream to work with! He was able to work with us to get into the car we wanted!! Highly recommend! Good guy!
This is our second time buying from this company, and we have been very pleased with the customer service we got. And the selection they have is great. They listen and dont pressure you at all. Thank you so much to Thomas as well! He gave us a courtesy call to let us know our jeep we wanted was being test drove. But he would have found us something else. Luckily, they went with another vehicle. And to the finance guy Randy! He is one of the best.
Awesome bunch of employees working there! Our salesman Dennis is a very nice man, he knows his job very well!! This is our second vehicle that weve bought from them!!
Gary was my salesman, and he couldnt have been more helpful and nice. He got me in the car of my dreams!!! I love universal Auto plaza, if you need a car. This is where you go.
Great place. Second car I’ve bought from them. No BS, just good business. My salesman Gary was excellent.
My husband and I were looking for the perfect truck for recreation and Thomas Griddine didnt stop looking until he found us the perfect truck with the perfect deal!!! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. We are definitely happy with our purchase!!!
My salesman Thomas Griddine was very professional and accommodating to my needs for finding the right used vehicle. Im very satisfied with my purchase. I will be a repeat customer in the future.
I have purchased 2 cars from Universal Auto Plaza over the past couple of years. I believe both cars have been excellent purchases at a great price. During my latest purchase Thomas was prompt, courteous and professional. We managed to complete the transaction very smoothly. There was no pressure at all. I very appreciate the purchasing experience at Universal Auto Plaza and will certainly keep them in mind on my future auto purchase needs.
Tommy took care of me. Definitely a pleasant purchase compared to what Im have been used too. Ill be back for my next purchase!
Dennis was extremely helpful in helping me purchase my very first car. Thank you for the excellent service!
The deal went through smoothly. Everything Miles Liles (our salesman) told us was true and everything he said hed do, he did. Stand up guy! I dont need another car, but if I did, Id sure give him a chance at the deal.
If I could give less than one star, I absolutely would. These people were great in the beginning, as eager to sell us the van as we were to buy it. This was the last weekend of February of 2021.Fast forward 8 months; I am still WAITING on my title! I am having to call and check in with them to see if theyve gotten it yet. They keep telling me that some other state has it and their hands are tied until that state releases it.Ive had enough, but I decided I couldnt leave a glowing review after being treated this way. 😥
We had a great experience selling our Jeep to Universal! We got to the dealership a little early and used the time to drool over the sweet old Jaguar in the show room. The whole staff was very helpful - at least 3 different employees asked if we needed anything and offered refreshments while we waited for our appointment. Logan made the sales process very easy and comfortable, including getting us a check when the office accountant was on vacation, and digging up the right allen wrenches to get the license plates off when the service department was closed for the holiday! We used the KBB Instant Cash tool, and Universal gave us way above Blue Book value for our Jeep. The whole process took less than 30 minutes. If I ever need to sell a car again, Ill check with Universal first.
My sales person was Thomas Griddine, he was courteous and very thorough. He ensured everything was to my satifaction. Even set up a minor mechanical issue to be remedied. And continued to follow up with me weeks after my purchase to make sure i was happy. I am totally happy and i would reccommend Universal Motors to anyone looking for a vehicle. This has been the best experience i have ever had purchasing a used vehicle. I will be a repeat client with them.
Tom Griddine was an excellent person to work with. Altho he seemed rushed at times, he was always attentive, fair, and tried to go the extra mile to get things done for me. If you want someone who will be there for you, find Thomas at you first stop at Universal Auto Plaza.
I bought a truck from Thomas Griddine, I didn’t think it was going to happen But I got a $50,000 truck No problem, they also took my trade-in See Thomas If you want a new ride today !
Great experience they work with you and the process went pretty smoothly I highly recommend speaking with Thomas Griddine
I had a great experience today at Universal Auto Plaza. I had several different cars I had been considering and Thomas was very helpful (and so very patient lol) getting all of the cars ready for my test drive. He made it very easy for me to compare and narrow down what I am looking for. My husband and I bought a truck from here over the summer so when I decided it was time to test drive for my vehicle we came here first. Great customer service from Thomas!
Thomas Griddine took wonderful care of us. Very quick and painless process.
Thomas was very efficient in finding my father a vehicle with a quick turn-around time. Thanks again!
Gary was amazing and helpful. I would definitely recommend him if your looking for a car!!
Salesman Thomas went out of his way to help me navigate the process. Even canceling personal apts to make sure the car was ready and the deal was done on time. Appreciate it Thomas!
Thomas was our salesman! We purchased a pre owned 2017 QX 30 SUV from this dealership and have had the car for over 4 months. Everything went smooth and we couldnt be happier with the car! Thomas will be our go to guy for our next vehicle purchase!
Tanya is awesome at universal in Blue Springs. Ive now bought 3 vehicles from them and shes helped with 2 of them. Shes my salesperson from now on. Knowledgeable and helpful without going over the top.
My wife and me were out looking for another car for her as her lease ran out and we turned her car in.we didn’t know about Universal auto plaza and just happened to pass by and thought we would stop and look as they had plenty of nice looking cars there. We immediately met Thomas Griddine and took an immediate liking to him and needless to say we found a nice 2017 Lincoln MKC and bought it from them. Highly recommend Thomas Griddine to anyone looking for a straight deal. Thanks Thomas we really enjoyed purchasing our car from you!
Very disappointed with this place I bought a 2013 gmc 2500hd and the radio did not work when purchased but was told the radio will be fixed and replaced the next business day. Here 3 months after purchase still no radio have taken truck to there shop 5 times and keep getting told they ordered the wrong part and leave me careless for multiple days with no loaner. On top of the radio my check engine light comes on and every time I take it to the shop for the radio to be replaced I mentioned all the issues I’m having and still never got fixed. I wish I did more research on this place and how they get there vehicles before purchasing. Just hope I can keep this happening to others.
I am SO happy with my new car thanks to Tanya!!! She is so down to earth and helps you every step of the way. She takes her time and full explains every question I had. I never felt pressured and I truly felt as she had my best interest in mind. I would highly recommend her!!! Thank you again Tanya :)
