scotty and matt

My wife and I dealt with Scotty and Matt last summer when we bought a used vehicle that my wife just loved. Alas, she totaled it a week ago so we had to go thru with this process all over again and we went straight to Scotty to get us what she would like and with Matt's help we got it and she loves it. I just want to thank them so much for their help and how relaxed they make you feel in the purchase of a car.

Hi there, we are more than happy to hear that Scotty and Matt could put you at ease while purchasing your car. We sincerely thank you for the positive review, and look forward to seeing you again soon! Have a great day.

New Vehicle Purchase

I had excellent service from my salesman, Jon Reed to my finance-guy, Matt, Bassi. Jon was very knowledgeable about my 2019 Encore and went above and beyond to get it from a dealership in Iowa. I have been so happy with all aspects of Barker's that this vehicle replaced a 2015 Encore I had previously purchased new from Jon. This is the 3rd vehicle we have purchased from Jon and Barker's and I guarantee, we will be back. Service has been awesome to deal with also. KUDOS TO JON REED AND BARKER BUICK IN BLOOMINGTON, IL!!!

Our staff is committed to providing each of our clients with the best automotive experience! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

Great Experience

Internet Sales facilitator Mandy was friendly and kept me informed regarding the progress of the Cadillac I was interested in being available. Sales consultant Jon Reed is friendly, humorous, knowledgeable and quick to help with understanding and providing vehicle information. Finance man, Matt is also personable and is highly efficient, as we completed paperwork quickly. I am very pleased with the process from my initial internet inquiry to picking up my vehicle. In closing, my advice, don't bark up the wrong tree. Go to Barker Motors in Bloomington for a fair deal with no "surprise" fees!

Scotty is awesome

Scotty was great to deal with. He is not your pushy salesman guy. He made things simple. Would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Scotty. Matt was great explaining all the paperwork.

Buying used GMC

Scotty Lewis was very friendly and fun to work with Tina and I came into the dealership looking to trade in my 2008 Chevy Pickup . He made the entire experience painless . I would for sure recommend Scotty and Barker Buick GMC to anyone looking for a used or new vehicle Randy Bridges.

Barker Oldsmobile/Chevrolet Traverse

I have been coming to Barker?s for a few years for service on my Outlook, when it was time to trade it in decided to stay with Barkers. The service and salespeople are top notch. Friendly, helpful and having Kori Parker as a salesperson was fantastic, I highly recommend Kori and the staff at Barkers In Bloomington, IL.

Awesome experience

Scotty was phenomenal, general manager, finance service. Zero complaints. And I'm a ex Chicago pit trader, so a jerk. I can't speak more highly.of my experience with all aspects of the process. Thank you, to you all, including maintenance crew.

Professional/Knowledgeable

1st time buying from Barker and a Buick so I am hopeful the service will match my buying experience with Jon Reed. He asked great questions, answered mine and found the car I wanted. Was a good buying experience for me. Jon was professional and knowledgeable and I am happy with my purchase.
