I would say that I had a pretty good experience there. Tim seemed to really listen to what I was looking for in a vehicle.

I think it is a plus when a dealer takes the time to fix most of the issues a vehicle has when it gets traded in. I have been to dealers before who seemed to not care about the condition of their used autos. I am sure that I would return when I decide to purchase another vehicle in the future. More

Purchased a used vehicle that had been "gone over" and was represented as having no problems. On the test drive, the tire pressure light kept coming on, so I mentioned it to the salesperson. Som over" and was represented as having no problems. On the test drive, the tire pressure light kept coming on, so I mentioned it to the salesperson. Someone came out and "took care of it", telling me I just had a slightly low tire. The light has been flashing ever since, but not a problem compared to the AC. Two weeks after purchasing the vehicle, I discovered the air conditioner was blowing hot air. I was told there was probably a leak and to go down to the service center where they would look at it right away. They said they were too busy and made an appointment for me to come back a week later and get a free loaner car. When I came back, they wouldn't let me take the loaner car because I don't carry full coverage on my own vehicle. They didn't mention it beforehand, so they said I'd have to go home and make another appointment and find my own ride. I can't miss any more work, and I have a car with no AC for the summer. I will never purchase a vehicle from JH Barkau again. More

I was treated good and with respect. They came to my home and picked me up as i didnt have a car to drive there. and picked me up as i didnt have a car to drive there. More

Not wanting new or anything that would require lots of additional costs in full coverage insurance or a big monthly payment. I decided to check online and found JH Barkau. I was glade I made the trip because they had plenty of reasonable priced used trucks which I was amazed at how well they had been prepared for resale. The interiors were very clean and they had been inspected. No they were not always in perfect shape. But the prices were good. I found a decent pickup and even though I had to do some minor fixes like a tune up and new battery. I did not find my purchase to be a disappointment by any means. I would certainly recommend JH Barkau to anyone needing a decent used vehicle. More

Very accomodating to our specific situation. Due to our finances we asked if the car we were interested in purchasing could be held for a period of time. They were willing to do so. They went out of their finances we asked if the car we were interested in purchasing could be held for a period of time. They were willing to do so. They went out of their way to do all they could so we could purchase the car for our son. We have been dealing with Nils for approx. 15 yrs. We have always been happy with how well he takes care of us. We have referred others to him over the years. Thanks for the great job! More

Where to begin... First I called the dealership inquiring about a pre-approval. The sales man I talked to was very friendly on the phone, but I was told there was nothing they could do unless I put 2000 down about a pre-approval. The sales man I talked to was very friendly on the phone, but I was told there was nothing they could do unless I put 2000 down. Next my Girlfriend called to see if she could get pre-approved. We were told that she was. We were even told what our monthy payments were. We set up an appointment to come and look at the car. We had to drive 2 hours to get to the dealership. When we arrived we were informed that they had raised the price of the vehicle by $1000 from the price we had discussed. After about 20 minutes of complaining to the dealer he told us he got the price reduced back to the price we had discussed, as if he did us some large favor. After test driving car we did like the car, and even though felt like they weren't the best or most honest of car dealers we said we would like to purchase the vehicle, only to find out that we hadn't been pre-approved. He said the process would take 15 minutes and we would be good to go, even though we were told we were pre-approved. After about 30 minutes of waiting we were told that they couldn't get us a loan without a co-signer. I would strongly recommend that you look elsewhere for a vehicle, as this seems to be a very shady car dealership. More
