Dean Carlton is a great owner. A dealership will charge you for a whole new part when a minor part is needed. Dean will find that part and save you money.

Dean the owner is very helpful and courteous. This place is truly a better alternative to a dealer. I'm in Quincy, MA and they're in Weymouth,MA. That's where I go.
