What Bloomington Drivers Are Saying About Barker Buick GMC
"I dropped off my truck for brake issues on a Sunday night and I had a call Monday morning by 8:30 telling me what the issues were and how we needed to go about fixing it. I had my truck fixed and back to me by 4:00 that day without an appointment. I am very thankful and impressed. Thanks!"

"Absolutely worth the trip! Barker Motor Company is about a 3-hour drive from my home, I took an Uber all the way there -- but it was 100% worth it. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with professionalism, respect, and genuine care. The finance manager handled my deal exceptionally well -- knowledgeable, transparent, and very professional throughout the process... If you're considering a purchase -- even if it requires a long trip -- Barker Motor Company is definitely worth it."

"Had a tire blowout on my 2024 Tahoe over Memorial Day weekend. I worked with the service advisor and he got me a matching tire overnight and worked me into the schedule to get it put on the next day. Thank you for your help!"

"I recently bought a new Cadillac from Barker's. I was looking for a very specific model that they didn't have, a CT5-V all black with most options. They went out of their way to find me the vehicle and traded to get it for me. In addition, this is a sought-after car and Barker's did not mark up the vehicle like all the other dealers in a 250 mile radius. My salesman worked hard to find my vehicle... They also gave me the best price for my trade-in."

"I needed a tire and was stranded (traveling to Chicago). The service advisor was extremely helpful. He was able to order the tire (Came up with plan B if tire didn't arrive (snowstorm)). He was truly concerned of my situation and I really appreciate thoughtfulness & compassion. Thank you for all your help!"

"When I first went into Barker GMC, I was immediately greeted by our salesman in sales. I was a special case for financing, and he assured me that the finance manager could help me... When I met with the finance manager, he worked his magic! He found a finance company that would work with me and provided an amazing finance rate! Needless to say, they are amazing and I am now a customer for life."

"My husband and I had bought a camper and was told the truck would pull it. Well when we hook the camper up the back end squatted so bad it was evident it was not going to pull it... out came a sales girl. She found us the exact truck that we were looking for one state away. Everyone there was amazing. I would recommend anybody to go to Barker GMC it wasn't high pressure, they listened to what we wanted and they found it!"

"Best experience in my 30 years of buying vehicles. There is a lot of value in dealing with people that you can trust. They have earned my trust. Very fair prices for vehicles and trade. Our salesperson and the finance manager were great to work with. We will definitely be back for future purchases!"
