Steve and his techs were great! They helped my daughter who goes to college in Canton with a dead battery issue. They were very nice and easy to work with and gave her a great deal - didn't try to sell her into a repair or replacement she did not need. Service was quick. Thanks Steve and crew!

This place is amazing! Dalan was one of the most caring "car sales" I've ever worked with. Both sales and service treat you like family. Want a car? Go through Scott's for the best experience!
