About Us

University Autos was first started 40 years ago by my father
who was a student working from the back of a van repairing
cars in the quiet back waters of good old Cambridge off Old
East Road. He had arrived here with a broken heart but found an
employer who backed him all the way in starting his own car
repair business. Then came the supply of cheap cars to clients
and the regular maintenance of them and the operation moved
to Occupation Road, off Newmarket Road. Eventually the
financing of the budget car led to the volume of sales which the
traditional finance criteria would not have allowed. The
enthusiasm and the intimate knowledge of not only the product
but also the needs of the clientel enabled the growth of our
operation. We are entering the new millenium with a
combination of hope and optimism. Only time will tell. Welcome
to our beautiful historic city and happy motoring.
