About Us

About Universal Ford Lincoln: A Calgary Institution Since 1945
Universal Ford Lincoln is more than a dealership; it's a piece of Calgary's automotive history. Founded as Universal Ford in 1945, we've grown from a local family business into Alberta's go-to for award-winning Fords, with your experience shaping our core belief: "It starts with you."
Universal Lincoln was founded in 2011 as the first free standing Lincoln dealership in Canada at the time. Since then, Universal Ford has joined our buildings together to house all you could ever need in a dealership from Lincoln models, Fords trucks, SUVs, sedans, and next-gen EVs. As ever, our Parts, Service, and Body Shop departments stand ready to keep your new Ford, Lincoln, or used model in tip top shape.
Universal Ford’s Home on Calgary’s Bustling Barlow Trail
Prominently located at 2800 Barlow Trail NE, Universal Ford Lincoln is proudly situated on one of Calgary's older northern thoroughfares, key to trade with the rest of Alberta for decades; our strategic location still provides easy access for customers across Calgary (9 minute drive from downtown), including Airdrie, Cochrane, and Okotoks. We're not just a part of Calgary’s near northeast; we're a part of its working spirit.
A Critical Part of Kaizen Automotive Group for Half a Decade

Now part of the Kaizen Automotive Group for the entirety of the 2020s decade, and no doubt for decades to come, we combine our history of deep community roots with a renewed focus on continuous improvement and customer excellence. With strategic alliances at the corporate level and Kaizen’s resources, you can expect the same great Universal Ford Lincoln with even more support for Calgary’s Ford fans and used vehicle shoppers of all budgets and tastes.
Universal Ford Remains Deeply Rooted in the Community We Serve
Being an essential part of our community is woven into our fabric. From proudly sponsoring local events like the teen initiative against distracted driving (2013) held at Henry Wisewood High School to supporting various local charities and community groups, we believe in promoting driver safety. When you choose Universal, you're supporting a business that invests in the people and the safety of the roads connecting us. It starts with you, Calgary.
