Russell Figaredo, the classy gentleman who runs our favorite New York limousine service,
has launched a new company, ABC NYC Concierge. Those of
you who know Russell know he loves to help his clients any way he can. Since he
started www.abcnyclimo.com, he has been asked to do many things for his clients--locate
hard to find tickets, make hotel and restaurant reservations, babysit, conduct tours
around the city, run errands of all kinds, shop for this or that (both routine and
on the spur of the moment), find a companion for a sick person or elder care, escort
(like a bodyguard, remember, he’s happily married), do internet research, sit and
wait for the cable guy or the repair man, the list is endless. It all began when
Russell contacted his dear friend, Katherine Giovanni at Triangle Concierge.
He spent a while with her learning the ropes and graduated an officially recognized
concierge, errand runner and personal assistant and ABC NYC Concierge Service was
born. Even though he is now trained to handle the concierge services for any office
building or hotel, Russell makes the same promise he always does: his service will
be personal service with him at the head of every project. He will never have recorded
customer service, because all his clients will have his personal number so he can
personally provide service to anyone. The majority of concierge companies on the
web are nothing more than farm-out, subcontracting companies. They have never served
a client a cup of coffee, so you can forget about recommending something that they
have never actually done or experienced. They have no idea what service is really
about. Russell has been at his clients service since he opened his first set of
doors, and will always be right there in the thick of it.

To Whom It May Concern:
I had the pleasure of hiring Russell Figaredo of ABC NYC 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,

ABC NYC Limo offers above average Town Car or limousine service at a reasonable
price. Don’t be fooled into using a company that will send any driver with a license.
Use a company that takes pride in their work, their cars and their drivers. ABC
NYC Limo service is more than just a shuttle to and fro; it is an experience. They
offer fresh fruit, breath mints, water and candy for the children. Select vehicles
are equipped with Sirius Satellite radio to provide their occupants with whatever
music, news or entertainment they’re in the mood for. Go with a company that caters
to notable celebrities, media elite, royalty, politicians, authors, models and the
top echelon of corporate America, like the President of duPont REGISTRY magazine,
Clint Sly who always uses ABC NYC Limo. “When I travel, I always call Russell Figaredo’s
ABC NYC Limo”

To Russell Figaredo,
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 M.

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 limmo service that would provide professional services at resonable prices
four 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 knowledgable with directions before the trip, and
always on time..............

Dear Russell-
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 Stayer family we extend our deepest appreciation. Thank You so very
much for everything. The tour was a nice added touch. We will send you the pictures
and Russell -Aaron my soon to be son in law is still commenting on your suit.

Russell Figaredo, the debonair owner of out favorite Gotham limousine company, www.abcnycconcierge.com
is asked everyday to recommend an authentic pizza place in New York. The truth,
he says, is that the chain of restaurants have prettu much ruined this tranditionall
great food. That's not to say, however, that you won't find good pizza in
New York.... it's just about knowing where to look. So if you ask him for pizza,
Russell will take you to......

I am very pleased to add my praise for the services of Russell Figaredo and 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

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
