Friday, 06 August, 2021 This past Sunday, August 1st, we held our Annual Company Picnic for the Steet Ponte Auto Group at Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge, NY! We have held it here every year since 1994, when we purchased our Toyota store in Yorkville, NY. This year was a bit different due to our rainy and colder summer we've been having, but still had over 300 people in attendance! The rain luckily held out until about 2pm, so many of us were able to squeeze in a bunch of water slides, dry rides, and walks through the Enchanted Forest part of the park. As always, the staff at the Park were extremely hospitable and helpful. We had a great picnic lunch, and the never ending ice cream is always a fan favorite!! Cheers to everyone who came out to celebrate the Auto Group in a relaxed, non-work environment!

Wednesday, 14 July, 2021 We love to share local events going on in the Utica, NY area and we’d love to share one that is coming up. The Annual Fire Truck Spectacular hosted by the New Hartford, NY Fire Department will be taking place on Thursday, July 15th at 6pm in the New Hartford Shopping Center parking lot! This a FREE event that's great for families. It’s always conveniently held in front of Nicky Doodles Ice Cream, so after you check out all the fire trucks, rescue trucks, ambulances and even a helicopter (that makes a dramatic entrance and exit each year!!) head on down for some great food and cold sweet treats. We proudly sponsor this event each year, as it not only promotes child safety with their smoke house, but is also very helpful for adults as local insurance companies are always on hand as well. Not to mention, many of our employees of the Steet Ponte Auto Group are proud volunteer firefighters. We hope to see you on Thursday, July 15th at the New Hartford Shopping Center for some FREE family fun!

Tuesday, 16 February, 2021 Want to Sell Your Car, Truck, SUV, or Minivan? United Auto Sales Wants to Buy it! Does the thought of trying to sell your vehicle that fill you with dread? We're looking to stock our inventory, and we want to buy your car, truck, SUV, or minivan! There is no doubt that selling your vehicle can be a stressful experience that takes too much of your personal time that you could spend doing other things. Most people advertise their car online and wait for people to inquire, while others simply park it on their front lawn and hope someone will stop by. We have a team of buyers at United Auto Sales consisting of another father and son duo, Ray & Tommy Pietruszka! We'll make it a streamlined approach that will make selling your vehicle a breeze. Stop down today, we're conveniently located at 4994 Commercial Drive in Yorkville, NY. We built our business on buying vehicles. When we opened our doors in 1945, we were only wholesaling. So over the past 75+ years, we have made the process as easy as possible as we have bought vehicles from many Utica, NY area customers who were looking to sell their cars! We've developed a reputation for having an easy process that leads to a pleasant way to sell your vehicle. You could advertise your current automobile online and schedule appointments out of your own personal time to meet the people interested, but, as you know, there are lots of folks who aren't serious and some who will offer you a price that is less than market value. Why put up with all of that when we can make your life a lot simpler? Make a virtual or in person appointment, and our team will take a look at your vehicle, and make you an offer. If you accept the offer, you will get instant payment. It is really that simple. Our offers will be based on what the market says your vehicle is worth, so you don't have to be concerned about ridiculously low offers or a painstaking negotiation process. The goal of our team is to make selling your car easy. We are always on the lookout for quality used cars to join our inventory, so we are eager to see your car.

Thursday, 04 February, 2021 At United Auto Sales, it's our goal to provide the Utica area with quality pre-owned vehicles that give you make affordable choices, and reliable ones that meet your needs.

With our special financing for those with credit challenges, we'll help you find the right vehicle, and put you on a path toward restoring your credit. We believe everyone deserves to drive a vehicle, and never assume that bad credit means you can't get a great car. We know everyone's circumstances are different, and with our Special Credit Department, we're here to help all those who have credit issues. We know how to get you financed, help you re-establish credit, and how to establish new credit. There's many options for you, as you can find a standout vehicle at a low price, with monthly payments that are affordable and you can pay to help not only get you a vehicle for your daily routine, but also to put you on the path to bringing up your credit score by showing you can make the payments. We'll discuss the different options among our current selection of used vehicles that would fit in your budget and give you the opportunity to take them out for a test drive while also discussing the process of getting you approved for credit, securing an auto loan with standout rates from various different lenders, and getting you an affordable payment plan.
