My car was rear ended and I was referred by a friend to Jay Walton. Couldn't have had better service in any way. Kaitlyn is the bomb!! She is so professional, friendly and knowledgeable. She was great at keeping me updated on progress of repairs and on insurance issues. Highly recommend this business.
