"Bought our dream Pick up Truck from Eckert last month. CHRIS!!!!! Truly a pleasure experience all the way through. Nothing hidden, no surprises,  excellent communication and an extremely fair and knowledgeable guy!! We are completely satisfied with our purchase but even more the experience that Chris provides from beginning to end........We rave about Eckert and Chris!! Thanks for making another one of our bucket list items a dream come true!! "

"Absolutely fantastic! From beginning to end, this was a stress free, honest and helpful process with Chris (sales). When the chips were down, he came through and I had the car that I wanted! Have dealt with some shady places before, but will not hesitate to use Eckert and Chris again! Would give more stars 🌟 but unfortunately there isn't that option! Thanks again Chris!"

"Rarely is there motivation to give a review (good bad or indifferent). From the first to the last call with Chris (sales) was a straight forward, friendly and honest process.  When there was a front brake issue shortly after purchase the company was quick to respond and replaced them without argument. Thanks!
Would highly recommend dealing with Chris and this company and certainly will in the future. Fraser"

"Totally positive experience at Eckert Auto Sales last summer with my son for the purchase of his first vehicle. Our salesperson Chris was outstanding - helpful, knowledgeable, patient, professional, cooperative.  Highly recommended. And the car is running smooth - no issues - since the day he bought it a year ago. Thank you Chris and Eckert Auto Sales!!"

"I found them on car gurus . What a refreshing great experience. Chris was fantastic  When I arrived he actually had a list of things wrong with the truck. (have you ever heard of a used car establishment doing this!). The truck was fantastic and they fixed the 2 items and I bought the truck. It was detailed to the nines and looked and drove like a new one. New brakes and a warranty that I did not expect (they could have easily not done this I would not know the difference) That is the kind of people they are.  This sounds strange..... they are an honest used car dealer. I would not hesitate to buy my next vehicle from them."

"I bought a Jeep ( freedom Edition ) really friendly - and after I had it for a few weeks an issue came up - I called Tina and Chris they fixed it no issues or questions. Not only did they fix the issue they drive it back to me 3.5 hours away . Dedication and commitment to there customers . I am now looking for another car for work and buying it here !! 

Thank you!"

"Just picked up my “new” 2012 scion. Love the car. Tina and Will are great people who know there stuff. Excellent service and the whole process was seamless. I’d recommend Eckerts to anyone looking for there next vehicle."

"Tina at Eckert Auto sales was top notch from the moment we called her, to the virtual tour of the vehicle and finally the day we picked it up! It was worth the drive to Barrie and a pleasure to support a small family business! Thank you to Tina and the team at Eckert Auto sales. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Too say I had good service at Eckert Auto would be an understatement! I had absolutely fantastic service the moment I walked into the sales office. Tina was amazing to deal with, very professional. 
Very impressed how fast Tina worked to get Steve and I in our new to us 2017 Jeep Wrangler. 
Thanks "

"Thank you to Eckert Auto Sales for the excellent service on the purchase of our recent Hyundai Accent! We received amazing customer service and professionalism from all staff. Tina was very helpful and made the purchase very quick and easy.  I highly recommend buying a vehicle from Mr. Eckert!"

"Chris was amazing to work with and he helped out more then I thought. He made it very comfortable and no hassle to deal with. I love my truck and all that you have have done for me is more then appreciated. I will recommend to anyone who is in the market for a car or truck. Thanks again John Arnold "

"We are truly impressed with Eckert Auto. We were in quarantine and in need of a vehicle. Online, I found Eckert and made contact. We found a vehicle and talked with a Tina. Very professional, forthcoming and accurate. The vehicle is exactly as advertised and actually better. Eckert handled the MOT registration and paid for new plates and certification. It passed everything, but Eckert didn’t like the 50 % wear on the tires and replaced with new. They didn’t like the 20,000 km wear estimate on the brakes and replaced with new rotors and pads. All new fluids including oil change and a full tank of gas. They arranged appropriate financing with 6 months free to start, then delivered the vehicle to our door. Pretty amazing service and you can be assured you will get the same. Very impressed and please to recommend this dealership. Thank you."

"I inquired about the 2015 challenger and within minutes I had received a call from Eckert auto sales with all info . It was such a pleasure dealing with Eckert. By far one of the best dealers I have ever dealt with. Both Tina and Chris made it super easy to deal with. I would recommend Eckert auto sales for anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. 
I am a very happy camper.
100 percent satisfied

"I purchased a truck from them that i saw online. Chris was fast to respond and the transaction was smooth and flawless. Very happy with my new truck. Would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a vehicle. Had no problems with them and am very happy with my new truck. Definitely going to be looking at them for my next vehicle purchase. Thanks Eckert Auto Sales"

"We had great service with Chris! Went in for one vehicle and ended up purchasing two. I am in sales and understand how important it is to have clients trust you. We never felt pressured and Chris was always available for us, even on his day off! We would not hesitate to refer friends and family to this dealership. I'm sure we will be back when we are in the market again. "

"Brought my Audi here, would give 10 star rating plus if I could. Tina was extremely helpful and honest ,went above and beyond. Over all service exceeds anything we have experienced, and we always had new vehicles. The choice of vehicles on the lot , is always changing. So worth the drive by and speak with there team. I think we have find our future family dealership!!  "

"Hi my name is James and I got a new car through Eckert Auto Sales it was so Simple and quick. I Delt with Glen Irvine. I told him what I was looking for and he found it exactly. He is great. Highly recommended. Thanks again Glen "

"
I drove into Eckert auto sales and was quickly approached by a gentleman named Glen. He was extremely friendly and made me feel like a friend within minutes of chatting with him. I told him about my credit being not that good. He immediately told me he has contacts at different banks that would consider approving me if I had a few minutes to sit with him. The car I was looking for was approved that evening and I picked up my car in 3 days. I would highly recommend Eckert auto sales on Essa rd. Glen listens and can get you approved."

"We bought a GMC Acadia and it was amazing! We were treated very well and the vehicle was such great value for the price! I would recommend this used dealership as one of the best I've seen. They are honest, caring, and pay attention to all of the details of the whole used vehicle buying experience. As such a trustworthy dealership custermers are well taken care of. I look forward to buying from them in the future. Thanks Eckert!!!"

"Picked up my new toy (GT500) today and I smiled from ear to ear the whole ride home.  Thank you Tina for making my purchase an easy and great experience.  You delivered everything that was promised and ensured that smooth transaction.  Extremely pleased and you come highly recommended.

Thanks again."

"Eckert Auto sales is a great place to do business when looking for a vehicle. Tina was excellent to deal with and a wonderful selection of cars and trucks!". I couldn't of asked for better service. "

"Just purchased my second vehicle from Eckert Auto Sales. The process was quick and easy. Tina made all of the paper work straight forward and smooth. The car came to us in brand new condition. You are approached with friendliness and no pressure when you arrive on the lot. Overall the experience was amazing. You feel like a valued customer throughout the process. I highly recommend Eckert Auto Sales, best service in town! "

"I want to give a huge thank you to Tina & all of Eckert Auto Sales. As a student looking for my first vehicle at an affordable price, Tina had the best to offer by far. Within 25 minutes and a test drive, we sealed the deal with no trouble at all and after three days of spending hours at the other major dealerships, this was a breath of fresh air in regards to service. To top it off, I was on the road in my new car 48 hours later and I couldn't be happier with the whole process. 
Thank you, Tina!"

"Very impressed with my new truck this is the 5th vehicle I have got from eckert and when I left yesterday I said I'll see you in another 4 years no b.s. no run around Tina makes it a very good experience. Thanks again guys "

"The service was great at Ecker auto sales, Tina was very friendly and happy to help and she went the extra mile to get what I needed and to get the financing for my new truck.
I highly recommend Eckert auto sales to anyone looking for a great vehicle at a great price, I will definitely come back here again for my next truck.
I love my new Silverado 
Thank you "

"Loving my new ride! Lucky to find the exact car with all the options I was looking for, including color. Tina made the entire process easy and very carefree. She took care of all the details very quickly. Tina was a treat to deal with. Extremely professional and efficient. I will definitely look to Eckert for my next purchase. I highly recommend Eckert auto sales to everyone looking for a used car purchase. I also wish to send out a big thanks to the entire Eckert team for all their hard work.

"Good service all around"

"showing love to Tina and the Eckert Auto Sales Family....it took 2 days to pick ..n..drive away in my new vehicle......in ..n..out...fastest service ever.. no headaches ..n..no waiting.!!!! I"d like to thank the Eckert Auto Sales Family for treating me like family...I wish i had 4 hands...so i could give Eckert Auto Sales 4 THUMBS UP !!!!!!!!"

"Honestly worthy of a 5 star review. 

Dealing with used car lots can be daunting. You always feel like you’re getting the run-around. It feels like they will tell you whatever you need to hear to make a sale. Not at Eckerts.

I felt very confident in the recent purchase of my F150, it was such a pleasure to see that actual customer service still exists. And most importantly, Eckerts Auto Sales stand behind what they sell. 

I would recommend Eckerts to anyone looking to get a fair price, great service and a great vehicle. "

"Beautiful service. Tina was so good, I got my car in 3days flat, always answered my phone and called me back immediately if she couldn't. The cars are in amazing shape and clean. Overall really good service."

"All good ,,, great service,price,and no pressure ,"

"I recently purchased a 2012 Malibu LS from Eckert Auto Sales & I couldn't be happier. The car is in excellent condition & running order. Tina went out of her way to get me the financing arrangements that suited my budget as quickly as possible. I live in a rural area where there is no public transit & I had no way to get to my clients without a car so her assistance in getting the car ready for me was greatly appreciated. The customer service at this location is above the average you would expect & I highly recommend that if you need a used car or truck that you consider Eckert Auto for all your needs."

"I was super impressed with the level of service in the recent  purchase of my 2012 pick up truck from Eckert Auto...Tina was a pleasure to deal with and very friendly as well as very helpful and informative throughout the process... A valiant effort was made  to get me the best rates possible. They offered to arrange a ride for me, from almost an hour away, if I wasn't able to make it in to pick up the vehicle. When I did pick it up the truck was in 100% working order as promised...I felt I was  treated more then fair and have no complaints what so ever... I certainly recommend  to anyone looking for a new vehicle to consider Eckert Auto

"I just purchased a 2013 chev Silverado. Great customer service and got the financing done very fast. I was rather pleased and I would buy from them again in a heartbeat thanks Tina!!"

"The last 3 months i have been looking for a Chrysler 300s with the hemi, i finally settled on Eckert auto sales to buy a 2014. Tina made the purchase an easy decision, i love the car and believe i got what i paid for. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a used car to visit Eckert auto sales. I live in Toronto and went to Barrie for this purchase due to the quality of their used cars and their excellent service and pricing."

"After being let down from the bigger dealers here in Barrie I decided to check out Eckert. I was aknowledged right away after I viewed some of the trucks they had on their lot. Tina went out of her way to find me financing  and within a few days I was driving my ( new to me) Silverado. Excellent customer service!!!!!"

"We live in PEI and found a 2015 ford explorer limited on this website and couldn't believe the price.  Called spoke to Tina, who was very obliging and very friendly.  When we arrived we found the vehicle well prepared and staff very friendly.  We would certainly recommend this business to friends and family."

"We purchased a 2012 Impala at a great price. It was brought completely up to standard mechanically and safety-wise. It also looked beautiful! We felt we were important customers throughout the process which was efficient and painless. The warranty is excellent."

"My husband just purchased a 2014 Dodge Journey and Tina was fantastic. From beginning to end she did everything possible to make this purchase smooth and easy. Thank you to you both for your dedication and hard work. Will definitely be back 👌

"Purchased a vehicle in November 2016. It was a pleasure to deal with Tina. Everything went quickly and smoothly. I decided to wait and write a review after I had the vehicle for some time. First and foremost, at first, it was said the tires that were currently on the vehicle were in good shape, which in turn, they were not and Tina quickly advised that they would be purchasing brand new tires for me. Greatly appreciated, great customer service. My only issue that I've just now noticed is that I had asked if the vehicle I was purchasing was rust proofed, which I was told it did not look like it was. I asked if underneath the car had any rust to which I was told underneath the vehicle was black and no rust was noted. I have had my car taken to the mechanic for oil changes and upon it being lifted up, sure enough, there is rust all underneath the vehicle. Maybe this is something I should have looked into myself, but did not as I am not mechanically inclined and would have no way of checking the underneath myself. As much as I would love to recommend buying a vehicle from Eckert's, I would advise that maybe having the vehicle checked over by your own mechanic within the 30 days or 1000km warranty they provide to give you piece of mind. I take full responsibility for not doing my due diligence as I was in a crunch, but I would suggest anyone purchasing a used car (whether it be Eckert's or somewhere else) to do your homework and get it checked. Overall, good customer service!"

"I purchased my 2014 Ford Mustang and I love the car.  I had a minor pinion seal leak at the differential and at the time I called Tina.  They warranty all their vehicles for 30 days or 1000 km.   I was advised to bring the vehicle into their dealership and they would make the repair.  I live in London which makes this a problem since I wasn't local to Barrie.  An arrangement was made to have it fixed in London and they were going to help me out with the cost of the repair (which they didn't have to do).  As it turned out, the powertrain was still under warranty with Ford and will be fixed at no cost.  I would recommend Eckert Auto Sales without hesitation.  "

"I was wary of buying a new car and I was wary of doing financing. So many friends have been burnt by dealerships with hidden costs and high financing rates. Buying a new car from Tina was felt like I was buying it from a family member- She encouraged me to go for a long test drive and really get a feel for the car- She was incredibly helpful with setting up the financing and explaining the details to me. Eckertauto is a hidden gem of car dealerships: a family running an honest business. As long as Eckert is open- I will buy, and encourage my friends to buy, from them. "

"Recently purchased a 2008 KIA sportage. Really happy with the vehicle. Tina made the purchase smooth and easy. Tina was encouraging but not pushy, helped us get the financing that we needed. Having to take extra time getting additional paperwork together, to get an approval, which we appreciated. This is the second vehicle we have bought from Eckert. previous vehicle lasted forever with only general repairs, as with all vehicles. Tina is friendly and approachable .Overall I recommend Erckert Auto, well priced used vehicles. Clean, well maintained used vehicles. Will return again once needed. Robyn K and Keaton L "

"I am very pleased with the servise that Eckert Auto Sales provides. They offer many vehicles and were able to find the perfect car to fit my needs and my budget, with there no haggle pricing. They provide excellent servise and were dedicated in making sure I left happy. "

"Just finished purchasing a Nissan from Tina & Will.There were a couple of hurdles Tina had to overcome to secure the financing but she did what others could not.I was impressed by her knowledge of warranties and purchase a 2 year drive train addon which gives me more peace of mind.
I thought the all season radials on the car were fine but Will realized only snow tires would do and added a set with no discussion or price adjustment.
How many car dealers would have done that?
I would reccomend Eckert and will without hesitation!

"This is an update to my recent purchase of an 08 Saturn Astra, after I got the car I drove it for a about two weeks, and first of all it's an awesome car, it's clear that they only sell cars in great condition, I've really never seen a 7 year old car that looks 2 years old, With such a good sticker price. Anyways, I called them with a few minor issues that I wanted to have them look at, and due to a few mistakes on my part missing scheduled appointments I went a little over the warranty km's, needless to say I was a little concerned but they said no worries we want to look at it. It really showed that they care about what their selling and more importantly that whoever buys it is happy. Well after they fixed it all up, ( like I said minor issues) the repairs were better than I expected, and my car came back to me cleaner than I brought it to them. I'm very happy to have walked into Eckerts, I don't care what year my car is, it drives brand new to me, and what is also important when you buy a used car is the service after you leave the lot, some dealers would forget about you, but Eckerts did not, I felt like I bought a Ferrari from them, but it's just the way treat all their customers. If your looking for a great car at a great price, maybe a Xmas gift for yourself or someone, you won't regret going to Eckerts, I've bought many used cars in my life and have never returned to a single dealer, I will return to Eckerts. Thanks again for the awesome car and the amazing service. "

"Great place, was treated amazing, felt no pressure, they answered all of my questions, provided a comfortable environment and privacy for me and my wife to discuss our purchase. Ended up trading in a vehicle and was given a great offer, would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a great vehicle at an awesome price. Very good experience. I will definitely go back,  thanks again!:) "

"Everything from start to finish in buying my truck was easy and friendly. They helped me find this truck and made the payments work for me. They actually listen to your needs and meet them with quality vehicles. If your looking for a great reliable truck then these are your people. Thanks Eckert for everything. "

"Awesome people to deal with they do not push you to buy anything that you don't want like other dealers do i bought my Mustang there and I am extremely happy with the customer service and the way they treat you is like you are family i would definitely buy from them again and again."

"Very honest people. they tell all the facts about the car they sell. deal with Tina while buying your car. you will drive off the lot with 100% satisfaction with what you get for your money. their pricing is reasonable. they make sure you get decent product for the money you spend. its a business so they will make some profit too but they are not greedy and not over priced compared to others I will recommend this dealership to friends and family. "

"Bought a 2008 Jeep Liberty from Eckert in 2012 and have had absolutely zero problems with it. Couldn't have asked for a better SUV.

Hope you were able to sell the Concorde! "

"Tina and Will were great in helping me find a new ride. I smashed my car on last snowstorm of 2014. Eckerts was the place I used to replace it. Upon receiving my e-mail Tina called as soon as they arrived home from holiday. Hadn't expected a call until Monday but Sat. evening Tina contacted me. Opened up on Sunday to show me some vehicles. purchased a 2008 chev. equinox and have been happy with all the great service. They sure like to keep their customers happy. I would highly recommend Eckerts auto sales to all my family and friends. "

"I bought a '06 Dodge Ram from Eckert Auto in October. The price was better than I had found at other dealerships. The sales staff were professional and friendly. When I found a problem with the ride of the truck they worked to resolve it, and did. Eckert auto stands behind the vehicles they sell in a way I have not experienced before at any other dealership. When the time comes for another truck I'll visit them. "

"We picked up a Jeep compass 2008 on Monday Oct.7th. Several days latter I had a problem starting the car. They suggested I bring it in. They looked at it immediately and found no problem. Tina then instructed me on starting a manual transmission. It had been along time since I,d driven one and things have changed problem solved. We love the car. The price was excellant. We will recommend Eckert Auto sales to our friends."

"Many thanks to Tina and Will for the EXCEPTIONAL after sales service. Your success is well deserved and I would make Eckerts auto sales the first place I visit when I need to buy another a car. Thanks again!!Keep up the GREAT work. "

"I bought a 2004 Ford F150 FX4 in July of 2012. The truck is running great. I have only had to change the oil and keep it clean. This was a great buy. Good price and very nice people to deal with. When I need another truck I will be going to visit Eckert Autosales.

Keep up the great work.

"I purchased a certified vehicle from another Barrie used auto location in April of 2012. I had nothing but headaches with the car and the dealership. Within 9 months, I replaced the brakes, a couple of clamps on the rad and at my first oil change, was told my differential oil was "mucky" and in desperate need of changing. Nice work by the mechanic and the dealer to milk me for money I don't have. Anyway, one evening I sat down on my laptop and started looking for and researching vehicles. I came across the Eckert Auto Sales website. I saw a vehicle that I was interested in and made an inquiry via email. Tina responded to that email within an hour, probably a half hour. My inquiry and Tina's response took place after they were already closed for the day. She did all the work necessary and got me approved for that vehicle the next day even with my credit history. Tina and Will went above and beyond for me after hearing the trouble I'd had at the other dealer the year before. I am very pleased with the service, the vehicles, and the care that I received while dealing with Eckert's. If you need a quality used vehicle for a really good price, I recommend Eckert's. Even a used car is a big investment to some people and Tina made me feel like I wasn,t wasting my time or money. Thank you Tina and thank you Will for taking care of me. I will definitely be spreading the word about Eckert Auto Sales. "

"I heard that Eckerts was now doing sevice work besides selling cars - so I brought my 2008 Dodge Charger to them to have it serviced. They did an oil change made some adjustments and now it it purring like a kitten again. I also needed new tires, and because of my trust in Eckerts I asked them for a referal. Tina and Will gave me the name of a reputable place; The Tire Depot. I went and got the new tires.

I will continue going to Eckert's with both my vehicles for all my service work in the future.

"Definately buy your vehicle from Eckert's. I bought a 2005 Jeep Liberty this summer(2012)and was completely satisfied from start to finish with the 'no pressure sales technique' and vehicle itself.

Tina helped us choose a vehicle that was appropriate to our lifestyle and circumstance. My husband who has pancreatic cancer and limited mobility LOVES the features of the Jeep Liberty. There are two handles to help get in and hold onto while in the passanger seat. The interior door handle is a raised plastic bubble shape which keeps his chemo/delicate skin and fingers safe. The back trunk area allows him to put his groceries straight into the back eliminating the lift in/out that a standard car demand. The back space is large enough for his wheelchair or the many bags of luggage that are required for all of us when he is hospitalized in Toronto. All these items are easily stored and removed because we do not have to bend down to take them in or out of a standard trunk.

The is alot of leg room and the seat base is straight so it does not cut into the back of his legs. The hood has and automatic lift ensuring it does not slam down on us when adding windsheild wiper fluid.

I particularly like the short dash as it allows me to position my GPS more effectively. Best of all, the Jeep is a 4 wheel drive which has been very helpful on those winter trips down the 400 to Toronto and our 17 year old daughter who is a new driver.

The whole experience of buy this vehicle was easy. Thank you Tina for listening to our needs then showing us the Jeep. Thank you Will for answering all our car care questions and being willing to help.

"Wow What service!!

Hello my name is Gary Morris, and i would like to say that the staff @ Eckert auto Rock!!!!

I felt like i was being shoooed away. never the less i went on my merry way thinking i was going to hear from anyone of the dealers and car lots we went to. not to mention that we had no car to look for one either. it was hard! We even told many of the dealers that we visited that we had no wheels and this was the reason we were asking for there help on finding us a set of wheels. like i said they all took my number and address.well we waited and waited and you know ,waited somemore. nothing even to this day almost 2 months later still nothing, The dealers and car lots in Orillia need to (PULL UP) Sick of waiting for a response from dealers here in orillia i jump on the internet typed used cars in the search engine and bam!! ECKERT AUTO came up . I used there easy web page found a very beautiful 1999 Ford Explorer that caught my eye,viewed the photos of the vehicle (inside and out) looked great, so i called.

"We purchased our vehicle, a PT Cruiser, back in December from Eckert Auto Sales. Tina was amazing to work with. This was my first car I purchased and did not feel any pressure during the transaction. The service provided after the sale was excellent as well. "
