Russell, I am very pleased to add my praise for the services of Russell Figaredo and his ABC NYC/United Limousine. I met Russell more than 2 years ago when a California-based friend staying at the Lowell Hotel used his services while in New York. In my opinion, Russell's services are unique in New York City. First, his cars are in pristine condition - no dents, no dirt, no worn carpets, no peculiar aromas - instead a brand new shiny black car which is a pleasure to share with others. All too often, car services are an embarrassment when picking up lady friends but with Russell there is no such problem. Quite the contrary, my lady friends are delighted with the fresh clean atmosphere. Next, Russell is always punctual, often ahead of time for the pick up. And most impressively of all, he has never failed to be there when the evening is over. And that I can assure you is worth any price to avoid the chronic anxiety throughout an evening that there will be no one outside after a lovely evening at the opera or a restaurant, especially when rain or cold makes an exit difficult. And finally to add a perfect touch, Russell has an extensive music library with an emphasis on big bands and Sinatra so one's guest is treated not only to a perfect car but perfect music, no talk(!) as well! And it should be noted that Russell dresses the part - double breasted suit and Borsalino hat! Sincerely, Bruce read more

There is something indescribable about New York. The atmosphere, the people, the smell, the sounds. Nothing is as it is anywhere else. Sure, there is a Starbucks on nearly every corner. Sure, there is an endless supply of bakeries, but in New York, a Starbucks is not just a Starbuck , and a bakery isn't just a bakery. No, in New York, everything is different. I only got to spend three weeks in NYC, but I can't shake that powerful pull the city has over me. It was enough just to drive around, letting Russell's new york car service limousine tell me all about the history of the architecture, especially which famous people went where. For me, NYC isn't just about Times Square or Broadway, but what those places mean. With Russell's limo tours, I got to not only see the sights, but learn a little bit more then what was on the surface. I got to experience NYC the way it ought to be experienced, through the eyes of a New Yorker. I experienced NYC traffic, I experienced NYC humor, I experienced NYC pride. True, what 17 year old girl, alone for three weeks in the Big Apple wouldn't say she had the time of her life? But for me, it isn't just a cliche, because for me I didn't just live IN NYC, I lived NYC, and I owe a lot of that to Russell.So, with all that said. Thanks so much Russell for giving me the memories of a lifetime and the magic of a summer! ELLY GOODKIN read more

To Whom It May Concern: I am pleased to be able to provide a reference for ABC/United Limousine and, in particular, Russell Figaredo. We began using ABC/United Limo in approximately April 2007 after a detailed search for a limo service that would provide professional services at reasonable prices for our company. Our requirements, which were sent out to at least a dozen limo services for quotes, were firm: we require very late model vehicles, vehicles impeccably maintained inside and outside, a fully uniformed driver who is knowledgeable with directions before the trip, and always on time. Russell Figaredo was the only company owner that actually offered to bring the car to my offices for inspection, which he did. Since using ABC/United Limo, we have had nothing but positive feedback from our executives who travel in and out of NY from all over the country. In fact, our corporate travel agent recently commented to me that ABC/United Limo was the most professional, courteous and reliable limo service she has ever used for New York City travel. Even the most particular travelers in our company are extremely happy with ABC/United's service and drivers. And that makes my job a lot easier! Sincerely, Maria read more

Hi there It's very easy for me to provide a recommendation for Russell Figaredo - throughout the year and a half I have been calling on him he has provided nothing but exemplary service. His entire fleet of drivers provides professional, punctual, and friendly service in some of the most beautiful and well maintained cars I have ever seen. By far, though, the best element of working with Russell is the reliability. My supervisors are perpetually overbooked and overscheduled. Given their hectic days, it is quite necessary for any car reservations to be right on time. I always know that when I make a reservation with Russell, I can leave the office with all confidence that there will be no problems. Russell runs his business like a pro - absolutely the best I have seen yet. Again, I would enthusiastically recommend him. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call.

Happy New Year, Russell! Jim and I were watching the movie " Two for the Money" with Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey the other night. Al Pacino's character owns a business (and lives in the building) in Brooklyn. It is a brick building facing the NYC view you took us to. Its across the street from the dock under the Brooklyn Bridge and the ice cream store we got coffee at. The camera pans the ice cream store, the dock (they have a children's party right in the spot we were standing) and they even have a camera shot of the Gulf gas station right when you come over the bridge (where they work on the old cars). They also show some of the brownstones we were looking at. Jim and I got such a kick out of seeing that so soon after we had just been there! If you haven't seen the movie, you should rent it. Its about sports betting. Again, thanks for taking us there! Jodi read more

Dear Russell: I wanted to thank you for all of your help last week while in the New York area. I have been doing business in the city for years and never experienced such a smooth trip as what I experienced last week. Your a professional and a one of a kind experience today. Your flexibility was awesome as my schedule moved a little each day, and I am grateful. I was at a Superbowl party on Sunday with a friend who's wife was visiting New York . I had no idea how long she was going to be shopping in the city, but the first thing I said to him was if you need a Town Car service in the city, let me tell you about this guy Russell Figaredo at ABC /NYC Limo. Unfortunately she returned on Monday, but you have developed a raving fan...and that is good news for you and your company. As discussed, I will see you in March on my next trip. Thanks again.

To Whom It May Concern: I had the pleasure of hiring Russell Figaredo and ABC NYC/UNITED Limousine recently to drive me in New York. As a veteran of over 50 years of luxury travel, I can honestly say this was an unparalleled experience of quality. Mr. Figaredo is, first of all, a gentleman and exuberant company to be with. His limousine was in top shape and immaculately clean. Mr. Figaredo was 100% reliable and always on time and extremely knowledgeable about New York, its sights and attractions and the many ways to maneuver in traffic. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is a true treasure be your travel business or pleasure. Sincerely, WILLIAM read more

Hey Russell, So often I've been driven into cities I don't know very well wondering what all the buildings are, where exactly I am in relation to where I am going, etc. I loved riding with you because you knew everything about New York and were willing to share. You answered all my questions and filled me in on movie trivia and historical facts. I also thought it was fun that you had healthy snacks for me and that you played Frank Sinatra songs as we drove into Manhattan. Overall your service was friendly and professional. You're quite a character Russell and really run a great service. Jennifer read more

Russell, I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you and your staff for the wonderful care we received from you while we were in New York. You made a very stressful time for me go very smoothly. With 10 different executives arriving and departing from all three airports at numerous times, it was a great relief for me that they were all met on time with a friendly face. I received several comments on what a superb job your company did. ABC Limo is a class act and we will utilize your services whenever we find ourselves in New York again. Thanks again, Christa read more

To Russell and the people at ABC NYC United Limousine: My husband and I were absolutely delighted with your town car service that we used on Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Our driver (Hanif - I'm sure that I am misspelling his name) was wonderful. He picked us up promptly. He was an excellent driver, courteous, and interesting to talk to. I would use him and your service again. I would also recommend your company to my friends visiting NY. Thank you again for the great service. Regards, Ronnie & Tom read more

Russell was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and interesting. My son's first trip to NYC and he enjoyed every minute of our tour last Monday. Russell was professional yet personal, funny, and entertaining. I would highly recommend him and ABC NYC Limo for any transportation needs but especially for touring NYC and surrounding areas! Two hours, six hours - any time with him will be worth it! I wish we had more time and can't wait to go back again. THANK YOU RUSSELL!!! read more

I work with many car services all over the country and abroad; ABC United Limousine is by far the best I have experienced. The level of customer service makes me feel as though our company has our own car service. The staff quickly sends confirms, the drivers are always on time, and though I schedule many last minute trips a car is always available. I love this company! Thanks for everything. Sincerely, Victoria read more

Dearest Russell ABC NYC Limo; I would like to express our sincere appreciation for your generosity and hospitality during our stay in New York. Your professionalism and knowledge of the area as well as scenic sights was a godsend. We would highly suggest your company to anyone looking for a safe, fun, knowledgeable ride through NYC. On behalf of the entire family we extend our deepest appreciation. read more

I have co-workers that will be going to NY over the next few months and I've already told them about our positive experience with your company (I've also given them all of your contact information so they can contact ABC when they reach the city). Our other two drivers that we had were fabulous & very knowledgeable. Thank you again and take care. C. Clark read more

Russell, It was great to see New York thru your eyes. Your enthusiasm and knowledge of the different areas added to our overall enjoyment of the Tour. We are so please we were able to have you as our guide. We will be referring you to all our friends when they visit New York. Thanks again, Mary and Vicque read more
