John was available immediately upon entering the car lot for all of our needs. He took his time to help with whatever we needed from the beginning to the purchase. All employees that we came in contact with (including owner) were very cordial and helpful to make our car shopping trip a successful one. Went above and beyond. This dealer will be given first chance at any future purchases we make. Very satisfied.

The staff at Barkau are outstanding. They listen to what you are looking for and do there best to find it. There is no pressure or steering you to buy something you do not want. I feel John Bottoms if very honest and helped us to see more than just the bottom dollar in the vehicle we choose. This dealership does all they can to help the customer and make the buying experience easy and enjoyable. Once you buy the vehicle the dealership doesn't ignore you, they follow up with how you like the vehicle and if you have any concerns. I sincerely feel this is a quality dealership. Next time your looking for a car I highly suggest Barkau & Sons in Freeport. Ask for John Bottoms, he won't "steer" you wrong.

We have had had past great experiences with Pat at Barkau, and knew it was the time to trade in our old car. We needed a car dealership that had an impeccable reputation and a salesperson we could trust. YES..TRUST. That is a big deal in the car business. Who can you trust? We trusted Pat and Barkau. Miles Anthony arranged great financing and an extended warranty that fit OUR needs. Great experience all the way around. Thanks to all.

I bought a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix on March 30 and worked with Bob Reed. The day before I stopped in and looked at the car at closing time and came back on Saturday and Bob had the car ready by the front door. He was very friendly and helpful, answered all my questions and wasn't pushy. In finance I dealt with Miles Anthony and he was very nice and explained everything. Everyone there is friendly and seem to care about their customers. I looked at other cars at other dealerships and I got dicked around and these guys made our dreams possible and I thought it couldn't be possible so go to Barkau First!!!!!!

I have purchased several vehicles from Pat. He is always willing to spend time to help you find exactly what you want, even if he has to get it from another state.

JH Barkau & Sons is the only place i go for a car or truck. They have always treated me great. I just bought a 2005 Chevy Silverado for a great price and i was shocked at how much they gave me for my old truck !!!! Another great experience. Thanks again John Corrigan.

I have purchased more than a few vehicles from Pat Galespie in the past 7 yrs and i have not been disappointed yet. If there's a wrong JH Barkau makes it right! My folks also purchase vehicles here and they too are happy customers. They sell quality used cars. I recommend Jh Barkau to any and everyone! Great place to buy...

Pet was very helpful with our purchase, and we never felt pressured to buy. John was great with financing, and explained all of our options.
