Frequently Asked Questions

j0289530.jpg

1) Where are the Vehicle Prices? 

Your affiliated member organization as well as the UBS affiliated dealerships have a copy of the UBS Official Price Book available for your reference.  For you to take advantage of these pre-negotiated discounted prices, which INCLUDES discounts on factory-installed optional equipment, contact us to request a Purchase Certificate.

2)  How does United Buying Service benefit me?

Since 1967, UBS has leveraged the automotive choices in the Washington - Baltimore area and the automotive industry pricing structure to make your vehicle purchase simple, fast and easy.  Our success in serving members is based on our discounted prices as well as our superior sales representatives and dealerships. 

3) Who is eligible to use United Buying Service?

UBS is a member-benefit service, for families that are affiated through member organizations.  Eligible participants include both the individual and his or her family members.

4) What regions do you serve?

We limit ourselves to the Washington-Baltimore region, so we can work closely with each and every affiliated dealership and sales representative that is part of our team.  This assures our members the highest level of quality and service. 

5) What do I do after I receive a Purchase Certificate?

Simply contact the UBS sales representatives and make an appointment to meet with them so you can take full advantage of the UBS pre-negotiated discounts and service!

6) Tell me about "rebates" and "incentives".

"Rebates" are usually financial incentives offered by manufacturers to the consumer to encourage a purchase of a vehicle. These are available to all UBS customers in addition to the UBS discounted pricing.

"Incentives" are usually financial encouragements offered by manufacturers to the dealer representatives  to encourage the sale of a vehicle.  While these are not automatically passed on to the consumer, they are frequently available with United Buying Service -- providing you with extra savings!

7) How is pricing determined for used vehicles?

The pricing for both new and used automobiles are based on what the dealer's costs are for the vehicle.

8) Do UBS dealers take trade-ins?

Yes! The dollar amount for your vehicle would usually be the wholesale value. UBS is particularly helpful in this circumstance by clearly stating the cost of the new car, thus you both know the true market value of your vehicle and can decide accordingly whether or not to trade it in.

9) What is a "purchase audit"?

The purchase audit is a FREE follow-up service to your vehicle purchase! After you buy your vehicle, we can conduct a line-by-line audit of your purchase to make sure you have received the correct UBS discounts, as well as any applicable rebates and incentives!

10) I've heard that UBS provides discounts on furniture, too.  What about this?

Yes, we DO provide discounts on furniture, also!  This is a continued service from a time when we provided discounts on many household furnishings and services.  Simply call/email us your request for the furniture and we'll refer you to the UBS showroom and UBS sales representatives to work with!
