Econo Auto Sales Inc review

Great service!

Great service! Was really helpful in getting me and my daughter a good reliable car. Our agent Josh was very hands on and very knowledgeable. He did a great job of distracting my two year old while I did the paperwork! Love the attentiveness of the staff overall a great place to buy from!
