After recently being rear ended and having our car totaled out by insurance, we were in the market for another car exactly 1 year after purchasing one. Nils met with us and walked the lot with us, but totaled out by insurance, we were in the market for another car exactly 1 year after purchasing one. Nils met with us and walked the lot with us, but we didn’t see or drive anything that suited us. We went back the next day, looked at the cedarville lot and ended back in Freeport. We test drove a few other cars, but still nothing that we liked enough to purchase. Nils was patient, kind and helpful through the whole process. Eventually, Mr. Barkau suggested a vehicle. We test drove it, and loved it. It fit our needs perfectly. He even added in a small warranty to us. We’ve purchased numerous vehicles from Barkau, and will always trust them! Thank you Nils and all of the Freeport team for your help and patience! More
