Barkau & Sons which is gladly be serious about selling you a car. After 3 months of searching the internet for a Subaru Outback I happened upon J.H. Barkau & Sons which is about a three hour drive/ 170 miles away from my home. I was happy to read that they were a three generation business that was established in 1952. They understand the importance of working with online customers that are searching the world wide web for the best deals. Kevin the internet manager works out of Cedarville ILL and referred me to Pat who works in sales in Freeport ILL where the car was located. Pat told me upfront that they only keep the best vehicles on the lots and the rest go to auction because their best sales pitch is happy returning customers who come back and purchase more vehicles. While on his cell phone Pat walked around the car (and inside) describing all the blemishes on the car. I understand that a used vehicle are not perfect and Pat was upfront and didn't want me disappointed once I arrived to purchase the car. I found Pat and Kevin to be upfront, honest, and friendly. I am very happy with my experience with J.H. Barkau & Sons. J.H. Barkau & Sons are lucky to have Pat and Kevin as employees. Both of these gentlemen understands how the internet is changing the way that customers locate and purchase vehicles. More

Sadly I needed to replace my vehicle due to it being in traff Freeport Il. Pat Gillespie is the person I worked with. He listened to all my concerns. Sadly I needed to replace my vehicle due to it being in traffic accident. Pat allowed me to test drive several vehicles. When reutrning for another vehicle, Pat told me he had a vehicle in mind. He showed us price, photo and options on computer and asked if I wanted to check it out, Yes, my daughter and I took it for a drive, we were impressed. Its not the same as what I lost but, better for my present needs. Less mileage, years newer and right price range. After having vehicle a week I really like it. And its the right color. Pats empathy for people and knowledge of vehicles turned the tramatic experience of traffic accident into a newer vehicle blessing.
