Mr. Elton and Sons always take me in fast and efficient manner.. Also with the efforts to always help me in the process of saving money. This is always a blessing to single parents man or woman.

Things that they allow on certain issues, dnt get it confused this is only on if you are coming out of pocket on ur own or if you have insurance involved well then they have protocols to follow... With this being said , I've been Giving the option to get the parts if im paying out my pocket . When insurance company involved i never have to do a thing they handle everything every time . In other situation they have taken the time to over look the whole car or truck and fix other issues that would cause a bigger problem for me later all in the same time of the initial scheduled time . Depending on how big the additional issue was that they found, you may or may not see additional charge for it .. I strongly recommend Elton, Clmire , Sean , and Josh Barras .. Everytime for anything from car to truck, boat , motor bikes . They are gifted in this way .. Much thanks to the men ...
