My vehicle had a problem that seemed to be difficult to diagnose. I took it with confidence to Braxton and left it for a few days so that they can have enough time to diagnose and fixed the problem. They did not disappoint! I got the car back and so far the car is running great with no sign of the problem. Another great help was being able to finance the expensive repairs using one of Braxton's financial partners. This removed a great financial burden of having to come out of pocket to pay for unexpected car repairs in a short space of time. I had a choice of how much time I needed to make full payment and can now relax and breathe a little easier as I have several months to pay for the repairs. Thank you Braxton for doing a great job of diagnosing my car's problem and fixing it in time for me to get back to work by driving my own car.

Response from the owner · a week ago

It's wonderful to hear that Braxton was able to diagnose and fix your car's issue efficiently. We're glad our financing partners could provide some relief. Thank you for your kind words, and we hope to continue serving you well!
