The hospitality is top of the line, evertone there is more friendly than I imagined, they can answer about any question you ask them. Nils Sandstrom was the best dealer we could ask for, he was so freindly and caring of your needs and concerns. 10/10.

Nils made our car buying experience stress-free and enjoyable. Adam did a great job taking care of our finance needs and had us out the door in no time. We will definitely be coming back for our next vehicle!

Hands down, Tim Border’s service was an experience we will always remember! He is like no other. He is personable. He relates. Tim listened to what we needed to get done and he delivered on making it happen for my family, he and his team. He is a clever kind of guy! I do not think this review does him justice to be honest! My family and I say thank you, we will remember you when we think of car sales and great experience! Going strong since 1952!

Nils is great. He’s friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. You couldn’t ask for a better salesman. Always ask for Nils for your car needs at Barkau!

Tim was very helpful in helping me get into my new-to-me vehicle. Very quick and clear communication. Very smooth transaction. I would work with him (and Barkau) again if I find myself in the market.

Nails worked with us from the internet interest of the car all the way through signing papers. Very professional and not pushy. Thank you Nils!
