Great teams do not happen by accident. They are built, sharpened, and invested in.
Earlier this year, three members of our leadership team, Mark, Hunter, and Erin, traveled to Albany to complete the NIADA Leadership and Management Bootcamp. The program brought together dealers from across the country, including operators from Las Vegas, San Antonio, New Jersey, and Delaware, for hands-on training in leadership development, team performance, and operational ex*****on.
We invest in our team because our team is what you experience every time you walk through our doors. Better trained leaders mean a better experience for you, whether you are buying your next car, bringing yours in for service, or just stopping by to say hello.
Forty years in, we are still learning. Still growing. Still committed to earning your trust one customer at a time.
Thank you, National Independent Automobile Dealers Association for the opportunity to grow alongside great dealers from across the country.
Come experience the difference at 834 Linden Ave or visit universalimports.com.

This Monday we pause to remember the men and women who gave everything so we could live free.
Our family is deeply grateful for their sacrifice and for the families who carry that weight every day.

Spring pollen, summer bug splats, and sudden thunderstorms are hard on visibility. If your wipers streak or chatter, it is time for new blades. It is a 10 minute job and one of the cheapest upgrades you can make for safety. Top off your washer fluid while you are at it.

Next time you stop in, ask us to check your wiper blades. While you are here, ask about our new Ultra Clear Water Repel Window Treatment by BG. It bonds to your glass to repel rain, snow, and grime, giving you cleaner sightlines all year long. Even better, if you have enough points in our Car Care Rewards app, you can claim this treatment for free. Loyalty earns you clearer roads.

Winter in Rochester is rough on tires. Before the summer road trip season kicks off, give yours a quick check.
Start with the penny test. Drop a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head facing down. If you can see the top of his head, your tread is too low and it is time for new tires. Check both the center of the tire and the outer edges. Wear in the middle means overinflation. Wear on the edges means underinflation. Uneven wear from one side to the other often means an alignment issue.
Next, take a slow walk around each tire and look at the sidewalls. Any bulges, bubbles, or cracks are a serious red flag. A bulge means the internal structure of the tire is failing and it can blow out without warning. If you see one, do not drive on that tire. Get it replaced right away.
Finish with a pressure check. Hot summer pavement plus underinflated tires equals trouble.
Our service team can inspect all four tires and your spare in about 15 minutes.
