Twice As Nice We just recently purchased our 2nd "new" vehicle from Pat Gillespie of J.H.Barkau Our best friends recommended Pat to us last year, when we were rea We just recently purchased our 2nd "new" vehicle from Pat Gillespie of J.H.Barkau Our best friends recommended Pat to us last year, when we were ready to trade in my VW Passat. We had found a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse on their lot at that time, that fit perfectly what we were looking for. Our experience with Pat as our salesman, was the best we've ever had in all the years we've been purchasing cars. We've been married for 47 years, so we've seen a few salesmen in all those years. So, when my husband was ready to trade in his GMC Sierra for a newer 4WD pickup with a towing package, we went directly to Barkau's lot, just to see what they had and to check with Pat to see what was available in their other locations. When we got there, the first thing we noticed set up right on the most prominent corner of the lot was this amazingly beautiful Laser Blue 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, which was the exact model he was looking for. Within just a few hours, after a nice long test drive, an overview of the vehicles features and Pat's inspection of the GMC, the initial paperwork for trade-in and sales price was presented to us, Needless to say, we were sold already, but we were very pleased with the numbers Pat presented to us and the deal was made. Dealing with Barkau and Pat was extremely pleasant and easy to say, Twice As Nice! More
Superior service from Jim Mullarkey! I found myself in an unfortunate train of events over the holiday. I called up Jim and let him know what happened and what I was in need of and the ti I found myself in an unfortunate train of events over the holiday. I called up Jim and let him know what happened and what I was in need of and the timeframe that I had to make it all turn around. Jim did not hesitate to assist. He worked nonstop and stayed in constant communication with me during the entire process. He went above and beyond my expectations to take care of me. His work ethic and dedication to his clients is unmatched by other salesmen that I have worked with. The amount of grautitide and respect that I have for this man is beyond words. I felt like family under his care. My children and I are so thankful to have you during this time! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! More

Good Service. Good Selection Good service and good selection of cars to choose from. Had the car checked out by a mechanic and needed some items repaired. Just basic wear/tear.

I bought a new car! I had heard positive things about Barkau. Having known Jim for more than 15 years I knew that he would be honest and that this would be a positive ex I had heard positive things about Barkau. Having known Jim for more than 15 years I knew that he would be honest and that this would be a positive experience. It was a long and tedious process for him... I took my time and carefully selected my vehicle. This was the first car I have purchased on my own (without my Dad or husband along). While I plan to have my new vehicle for several years, I intend to use Barkau again and highly recommend Jim Jupin. More

Excellent people I was in a predicament as my car was having a lot of issues and I couldn't even drive it to the car lot. Mr. Jim Barkau himself helped me and had my I was in a predicament as my car was having a lot of issues and I couldn't even drive it to the car lot. Mr. Jim Barkau himself helped me and had my car towed to Freeport without charge. I'm 78 years old and he helped find the perfect car for me that I'm not afraid to drive along with Jim Jupin the salesman. They did find the perfect car for me. I was surprised at the excellent service as the dealers here in Wisconsin aren't as honest and genuine as they were. I would recommend them to any of my friends & neighbors without question. My son bought a car there a couple months ago and my daughter-in-law's grandmother bought one a short time ago too. Both love their cars. And Louis Lorenz helped do all the paper work and made it an easy process. Thank you Barkau's. More
