What Bloomington Drivers Are Saying About Barker Cadillac
"Had a tire blowout on my 2024 Tahoe over Memorial Day weekend. I worked with the service advisor in Service 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 originally called Barker Motors about a red 2025 Cadillac XT5 Premium Luxury AWD SUV I saw on their website. It was perfect. My husband negotiated with our salesperson and he gave us a really great offer on it. We drove from Springfield to Bloomington to buy it and had all the paperwork done.... but then I noticed a GORGEOUS red 2025 GMC Acadia Denali sitting on the showroom floor, and I was SOLD! The business manager was friendly and personable and didn't bat an eye when I changed my mind! ... If you're looking for a new or used vehicle, call Barker Motors first!!"

"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!"

"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 and Business Development Manager handled my offer 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."

"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!"

"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 salesperson worked hard to find my vehicle and took the time to really show me how to operate all the options. ... I am very happy with my first Cadillac and the experience from Barker Cadillac."

"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!"
