About us…

At Easton Motors, Inc., we have been in the car business for over 30 years and specialize in used and buy-here/pay-here car sales, as well as full automotive service and auto parts offerings. Unlike the current market trend, where the car retail world is facing a decline due to stricter lending processes, our business is thriving! We're unique because we own all our inventory outright and we offer automotive service and parts purchasing in-house, which empowers us to facilitate deals that others can't. As the bank, we offer in-house financing to our customers, making car ownership and service accessible to a broader audience.
