For the last 2 years he has consistently helped me navigate the right path in maintaining my two older Mercedes Benz'. I trust him to help me understand the most cost-effective way to keep my cars well maintained and safe. While I have been a customer of the MB dealers in Salem and Wilsonville, and used other independent shops to maintain my cars, my experiences with Elite and Layne have been the best.

I told the salesman I wanted a back-up camera. He told me to go out to Car-Toys on 82nd. He said they do excellent work and for a factory GM camera (stamped GM and coming in a marked GM box) would be double the price and half the size of an after market. I called Car-Toys and talked to “Steve”. He seemed VERY knowledgeable re product information, comparisons, prices, etc so we drove to the store and talked to him in person. Steve really knows his stuff and got me a great price on a radio with AM/FM, HD FM, Satellite, Blue Tooth, Navigation, CD, and could easily hook up to a camera. The Installers did a fantastic job putting it in, and when we went to pick it up, Steve spent quite as bit of time explaining how it worked and said if we had a question, call him or stop by anytime. Great service! Then a couple weeks later I talked to Steve again about LED lighting on the floors in both the back and the front, plus I had them put LED lighting under my SUV. Again; GREAT installation! Then I asked him about their Detail service. The last time I had another black SUV detailed on the outside, it had swirl marks all over it. It looked terrible. I told Steve about my prior experience and he said they take swirls out. I had them polish it and then put a sealer over the top. It is suppose to last a year. When I picked it up, with the new radio, camera’s, multiple color LED lighting inside and out, and the polish/sealer (and no swirl marks) ~ I’m picky and Damn it looks nice! I get compliments everywhere I go. If you’re also picky about your vehicle and expect a GREAT job for a good/fair price, go to Car-Toys on 82nd and talk to Steve. You’ll be happy you did! GREAT shop crew! Larry
