I had a acrylic partition put in my car. From the quick response for a quote to the meticulous job of measuring & installing this was top service at the most decent price I could find! I looked & called around quite a bit. Rafael did a wonderful job at fitting the partition perfectly! It is secure and even a contractor that was a rider was impressed! Thank you UAG & thank you Rafael!! I feel safe as a rideshare driver now. That means a lot. Theres a lot of bad products out there and companies gauging prices. Thanks for offering safety at a more than fair price. Did I say meticulous?!

My lady love wants me to protect myself as a ride share driver. That meant getting a plexiglass protective shield for my Nissan Versa. My lady got me number for Lucas who promptly called me back. Yesterday I drove to the art gallery in Venice. Lucas recommended place up the street for breakfast. I came back & the shield had been professionally installed. The cost was a flat $150 plus tax. I am very happy with their work. Great art here too!

Absolutely amazing experience! Excellent communication from start to finish. Very good price, excellent service and just beautiful work. I almost cried I was so happy with the framing of the jersey. Truly excellent people to work with and would recommend highly.

I met Lucas while working in radio. We would always get our framing done by Universal Art Gallery through him and I would be the one to pick the finished product. He has always been helpful and creative with coming up with ideas on how to best put together any piece you want framed. For my personal framing needs he has come through and astounded me with excellent work and turnaround. The first piece I got framed was my concert poster and ticket from Mumford and Sons secret LA show at The Roxy and more recently they put together my autographed vinyl record of Ice Cube's Death Certificate 25th Anniversary

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!! They are art experts and knew exactly what to do with every item I brought in. From preserving my wedding roses and transforming into a spectacular art piece to framing various paintings with exactly what they needed. They didnt try to oversell and were able to revive something I put off for so long. To top it all off, they are all so incredibly kind. So lucky to have found them. Will definitely be back and recommend to anyone looking for top quality work.

Safe place to ask question, get a fair estimates, and finally get an amazing frame... Happy I re-discover UAG, after a few years living a bit too far. With the years, the team continue at the highest level of professional service, and the choices... the choices are a bit too much, get ready to be overwhelmed by so much to choose from...
