John was helpful as always and they even came down a bit from what they were asking. Whenever when are in the market for a vehicle our first stop is Barkau. More

Hands Down Top Notch From first contact via phone, my experience was top notch. Tim Border was quick to check on the availability of the particular vehicle I was interest From first contact via phone, my experience was top notch. Tim Border was quick to check on the availability of the particular vehicle I was interested in and promptly returned my call. Upon arrival at J.H. Barkau & Sons (which was a 65mile drive from my house) I was very pleased with the level of customer service. There were no games, no bait and switch or pressure tactics. I simply looked over the vehicle, went for a test drive and received a very attractive price without round after round of bartering. How refreshing to know that there are still dealerships that just operate in a courteous, honest and earnest fashion. They even made arrangements to get my car to my house! I'll be recommending J.H. Barkau & Sons to anyone I know in the market for a quality used car from quality people. Well done!! More

Great Experience. My fiance and myself just went to look. We got there and started to look around, (we knew what we were looking for), we couldnt find the traverse tha My fiance and myself just went to look. We got there and started to look around, (we knew what we were looking for), we couldnt find the traverse that we found online. Jim walked up to us and asked us how we were doing and what we were looking for, we told him a 2013 traverse. He went inside and said it may be at the other store, he would check for us. We went inside and i started to look around, and i notcied that there it was in the show room. We told him that we found it and that we saw it online, and we were interested. It was in the show room, we thought for sure we would not be able to test drive it, but he said it was not a problem at all. He got some guys help him move the other vehicles and we test drove it, and we knew that this is what we were looking for. The sales team was great and very imformative. We got a great deal on our vehicle that we knew we both wanted. We are very happy with our purchase, and we would definatly recommand this dealer. More

Just purchased our 4th vehicle We've purchased 4 vehicles from Jim now. He always takes the time necessary to find what we're looking for, never hard sells anything or acts patroniz We've purchased 4 vehicles from Jim now. He always takes the time necessary to find what we're looking for, never hard sells anything or acts patronizing, and goes above and beyond to ensure that we're well taken care of. Great guy, great dealership. One less than positive point to make though: the new financing guy.....if I didn't respect Jim as much as I do, I'd have walked out. Pushing customers to purchase add-ons that they don't want or need and then quizzing them when they refuse to purchase is the height of obnoxious. Tone that guy down and you'll have the perfect staff. Also necessary to say, the service department is fabulous. We are invariably provided excellent service and repairs for a reasonable price. Kudos to Jamie and his staff for that. More

Dealing with Jim Mularkey. We really enjoyed dealing with Jim Mularkey. He has helped us with vehicles for our daughters before. He is so helpful, honest, non pressuring and fu We really enjoyed dealing with Jim Mularkey. He has helped us with vehicles for our daughters before. He is so helpful, honest, non pressuring and fun to deal with. He was very comfortable to talk with....He went out of his way to accommodate our wishes and helped to find us the car we needed. Would definitely work with him again...and would recommend him to our friends. More

The experience of a lifetime I have bought three cars from this dealership and I am confident that this experience at J H Barkau and Sons will be like the other transactions I h I have bought three cars from this dealership and I am confident that this experience at J H Barkau and Sons will be like the other transactions I have had at this location in Cedarville, IL. The minute you enter Jim Mullarkey's office you know you're in good hands. All one has to do is look around at all the smiling faces on the thousands of pictures of pleased customers in his office. Jim is one of those guys who was born to serve, he takes the jitters out of buying a car. Everyone always worries about 'getting the right price', or 'ending up with a lemon'........not with Jim Mullarkey. Don't let that name fool you, he is the 'REAL DEAL'. Always fair, honest, and quite good looking in his own sort of way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jim and the gang at J. H. Barkau and Sons to anyone, it just doesn't get any better than this. Buying a car from Jim Mullarkey is a wonderful experience from start to finish. More

Both times I have bought vehicles, the experience was great! I cannot say enough good things about buying a used car from Barkau of Cedarville, IL.

Have bought two pick up trucks from them and both times had a great experience. Tim Border has been the salesman for both and my Wife and I both felt no pressure to buy or was steered into a vehicle we did not want. Some places you feel like you have to be defensive. We never feel that way working with Tim Border. Both times we found a vehicle we were very happy with and could afford. Barkau comes highly recommended in my opinion. More
