My name is Lincoln Elston, New Car Sales Manager at Germain Toyota of Columbus. Having started in the automotive industry in 2011 I joined the Germain team in 2016. My goals for assisting our guests are simple, I believe in treating every customer like family with gratitude and respect. Born and raised in West Jefferson I love how close our community is. My wife Holly and I have 2 girls Emeri & Maklynn and 2 Golden Retriever's Reggie & Darby. When I’m away from the dealership I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My favorite Toyota is the 4Runner, it is my idea of the perfect family vehicle!
