Buying a great pre-owned vehicle doesn't have to be loaded with drama and stress! Take a drive to see me in "downtown" Cedarville for a stress free buying experience. I've been in the auto business since 2005 and General Motors Factory Certified in Sales and Technology since 2007. Buying a car should be fun and exciting!

I had a good experience purchasing my vehicle but when brought in on a warranty fix I had a few issues getting my car back.

Outstanding Experience at JH Barkau & Sons Automobiles We were searching for a safe, reliable car for our 16-year-old daughter when we spent five months looking for the right vehicle. Livin Automobiles We were searching for a safe, reliable car for our 16-year-old daughter when we spent five months looking for the right vehicle. Living in the Quad Cities, you'd think our chances were good, but most local dealerships were overpriced and unwilling to negotiate. We faced disappointments like undisclosed accidents and cars breaking down during test drives, leaving us wondering if there were any honest dealerships left. Then we found JH Barkau & Sons. While browsing online, we discovered a 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan in mint condition—truly a garage queen—and knew it was a great deal, about $2,000 below market value. I contacted Tim Border, who held the car for us despite us being two hours away, showing real integrity. Tim was professional, patient, and kept his word, making the entire process smooth. The dealership’s detail department did an amazing job—the car looked brand new. As a thoughtful gesture, Tim left his card, along with a $2 bill and a note under the gas cap lid, congratulating us on the purchase. Thanks to their honesty and great service, we found exactly what we wanted. We’re grateful and would definitely buy from JH Barkau & Sons again. Highly recommended! More
