Tim is GOLD! Treats you like family, is understanding, and helps as much as possible to make things work. This dealership and Tim are not the typical run of the mill car dealerships.

We will ONLY come to this dealership and will always request Tim.

We had a great shopping experience with Tim at J.H. Barkau. No pressure or hassle and Tim was very knowledgeable about the car we were looking at. He even stayed late so we could come check the car out a second time to be sure before making a final decision. He followed up the next morning after the purchase to see if we had any questions or concerns. The pre-owned car we bought was super clean, like new. Very impressed with this dealership.
Tim made the buying process flow smoothly. This is our third vehicle from Barkau and their service is always excellent.

Nils Sandstrom and the finance department at Barkau’s was a big help in getting my mom into a new/used car! If you are looking for a used car I would recommend stopping in and talking to Nils Sandstrom and the Barkau family!! Thanks again Nils… Peace.
Have done business with J. H. Barkau for over twenty years. Always felt we got a fair deal. We dealt with numerous employees and all were helpful.

We worked with Joe Baker And Adam Sherman. Have known these 2 gentlemen since 2002 when we met Adam at another dealer. Joe has sold me numerous car thru the years and when he to me that he was employed by you I had to touch base with him. We told him what we wanted and he found the exact vehicle to fill our needs. When I need the next car I know where I will be seeing! Thanks Joe and Adam!

Awesome dealership. Friendly and informative pf product available. I can see why the dealership is highly rated.
Barkau's has been our go to place for auto and truck purchases. This dealership always has a large selection of makes and models available. With a very personable crew our purchases have been smooth and enjoyable.
I called about a car at a different location. Joe had it in Freeport the same day for me to look over after work. I had a test drive overnight for my wife to look over. She liked it alot. The next day Joe put the car up on the lift for me to inspect the underside. It passed the inspection very well. To say that Joe and the Barkau team were accommodating would be understated. Throughout the purchase I was valued and respected. Thanks to Joe Baker, we closed the deal and I have a quality pre-owned car from ...

Excellent service! Great customer and follow up service! Great job in finding a correct car choice for me! My hope is my car’s durability and low mileage choice lasts for a long time...
This is the second vehicle I have purchased from Barkau. Nils was great to work with today and made the process easy.
Tim was great to work with. He was concise and answered all of my worries. He was very thorough and made the grueling process of buying a car feel like a breeze which is why I wanted to buy from a family owned business instead of a large corporate dealership.
Went in with little to no idea of what I wanted, and left with a great deal on a car I’m very excited about! Our family is growing, and this car is the perfect fit for us.
I will continue to do business with Barkau do to their great sales and services departments at all their locations.
They treat you like family they're really nice and very considerate 10 out of 10 would recommend anybody looking for a vehicle.

They were very professional and kind. They went above and beyond to ensure I had the best deal, and easiest time purchasing my new vehicle. I could not have been more pleased with the experience. Brendon was extremely polite and friendly. A true pleasure to do business with.
They did a really good job on selling me this car, I really enjoy driving it. It was an amazing purchase.
I went in on a Saturday morning with a pretty good idea of what I wanted and the vehicles I was interested in. I was greeted by a salesman, Joe Baker, quickly and told him what I was interested in. He went and got the keys to the vehicles I was interested in and let me take them for a test drive. We went from the Freeport dealership to the Cedarville one so I could drive another vehicle and came back to the Freeport dealership. Joe wasn't ever pushy or trying to get me to decide on any particular ...
We were treated will respect and felt comfortable. Fair pricing, no pressure salesman, and made us feel like we were family. We have already recommended Tim to our friends.
Excellent car buying experience! Tim was easy to work with on a deal. We would recommend stopping in if you’re looking for a new ride!
Excellent experience! I saw a vehicle online that I loved, and was kept updated through the entire period before I made it to the dealership to view the vehicle. Very nice to not have to wonder if a car sold before you could go see it!
Our family has purchased vehicles from Barkau’s over the years and appreciate Nil’s helpfulness and attention to detail.
The people at Barkau are so easy to work with, and they have such great knowledge about their vehicles. They never make you feel pressured, and they do a great job of answering all your questions.
This was the best experience I’ve ever had at a car dealership. Everyone is courteous and helpful . Tim answered a lot of questions I wouldn’t have thought to ask . I definitely recommend this dealership to anyone, in fact I already did .
Great people to work with who have the ability to listen. Tim didn't sell me a vehicle. He helped me get the vehicle I wanted.
