I’ve been in the car business since 2007, spending about 17+ years at a Ford dealership before making the switch to J.H. Barkau and Sons. My time with Ford taught me a ton about helping folks find the right ride, whether it’s a brand-new model or a trusty used vehicle. Now at J.H. Barkau and Sons, I’m excited to bring that experience to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. I pride myself on providing an exceptional customer experience, ensuring each customer feels valued and confident in their purchase. I’m all about making sure you feel great about your choice and enjoy the car-buying process.

We didn’t actually use the Cedarville dealership. We worked out of Freeport. The vehicle was brought from Cedarville. More

Other Employees Tagged: Maybe because I was in Freeport, I couldn’t find pictures of other employees that helped me. An older, thin salesperson that has been there since 1989 was very helpful. The 1st finance guy and the guy I signed the papers with were also very helpful
