My family has bought cars from JH Barkau for 15+ years, specifically from Pat Gillespie at the Freeport dealership. My husband and I live in Madison, WI and had wanted to buy a car up here to get to know specifically from Pat Gillespie at the Freeport dealership. My husband and I live in Madison, WI and had wanted to buy a car up here to get to know a car dealership and for convenience. Well, we had horrible luck, dirty cars, rude salesman that just wanted the paycheck. It was like an 'aha' moment, as were were discussing our luck, and we decided to drive to Freeport to deal with someone we knew. Pat Gillespie knew that we were coming and he had just what we wanted. Pat and the Freeport crew always greet you with a smile, NEVER push you to buy, and are wililng to work with you to get what you want. No matter where I live, chances are, we will be driving to Freeport. JH Barkau makes car buying a fun and pleasant experience! More

This is our second vehicle from Tim. We continue to go back because of his friendliness and extensive knowledge base. Tim did an excellent job providing us with the vehicle we were looking for (and we had back because of his friendliness and extensive knowledge base. Tim did an excellent job providing us with the vehicle we were looking for (and we had a lot of demands) at a price we could afford. My husband and I had a great conversation with him while we waited for paperwork. Tim went above and beyond, when he helped me set up my blue-tooth and showed us all the safety and technical features of our new car. Most importantly, I never once felt pressured to buy. Thanks Tim, see you in a few years! More

We went on the intranet to search for the vehicle we were looking for. Found the 2004 Ford Ranger we purchased at the Cedarville Dealership. We were truly amazed at the inventory at a dealership in such a looking for. Found the 2004 Ford Ranger we purchased at the Cedarville Dealership. We were truly amazed at the inventory at a dealership in such a small community. We had never dealt with this dealership before or any of the employees. We were 100% satisfied. Tim Border was very friendly and honest. He did not put any last minute pressures on us to purchase the vehicle as some other dealerships did. We were totally satisfied and pleased with the trade-in values allowed us. We will definitely check with this dealership and Tim Border for any future vehicle purchases. Connie & David Heins More
We were looking to replace our 2004 Mercury Mountaineer but really didn't know what we were looking for. Tim was great in that when we showed up on the lot he introduced himself and let us just look around but really didn't know what we were looking for. Tim was great in that when we showed up on the lot he introduced himself and let us just look around and scope out the vehicles that may interest us. It was not a high pressure situation were the dealer is constantly in your ear with every car you look at. For myself and my family, it was a great experience and we not only ended up buying 1 car that day we also replaced my wifes 2005 Durango. More
My first contact with Pat was on the phone after an internet search. He seemed very freindly and helpful so I made the 200 mile trek to Freeport. Everything was ready and waiting and in no time at all internet search. He seemed very freindly and helpful so I made the 200 mile trek to Freeport.

We have a large family of 8 and were looking for a 12 passenger van. I found the dealership online as they had several vans. 2 in partticular sounded like they might be good and at a price that was fair. passenger van. I found the dealership online as they had several vans. 2 in partticular sounded like they might be good and at a price that was fair. We live about 2 hours away from the dealership but after several helpful phone conversations with Tim Borders and setting up an appointment that worked for us we drove down to Cedarville. We met Tim and looked over the van we were most interested in. Another newer van caught our attention and we waivered between the 2 vehicles. Tim patiently worked with us and tried to help with providing info as much as he could. We settled on the 2nd van, then offered our car on trade. We made a good deal and they were very good and not high pressure in the deal. We would recommend Tim as a salesman and the dealership in their selection as well. I wish they were closer to Milwaukee however. More
My husband and I came to JH Barkau to look at the fleet of 12/15 passenger vans on the lot. I had done most of the research already by finding the vehicles available, pricing, car fax reports, etc. The mai of 12/15 passenger vans on the lot. I had done most of the research already by finding the vehicles available, pricing, car fax reports, etc. The main goal was to TEST DRIVE the vehicle and Tim approached us immediately upon our arrival with a smile on his face. We explained we came to look for a few vans to test drive for our large family. He gave us time to look and when we had found 1 or 2 that we were interested, he helped us get to test driving and taking care of any questions we had. He also took care of our kids by suggesting that they come into the dealership to have them play while we discuss the pricing of the vehicles. What a guy! He even gave them some gatorade, salt water taffy, and suckers. Nothing like keeping the kids happy. Tim was very patient with us as we spoke to our banker and at the end of the day, we completed the sale of our 12 passenger family van with the help of Tim's answers we had on the vehicle and friendly support. Thanks Tim for a nice and smooth experience. More
