Barry’s Automotive

"Barry's charged me one thousand dollars for parts they actually didn't even replace. Terrible attitude, customer service is like being poisoned. No, wouldn't forget who ripped me off. I'm sure it's difficult for you to remember which person you took advantage of so I will contact to clarify."

"Would give a lower rating if possible. Bought a 2009 Volvo C30 from Barry's in late June, and to date (late October) the car has over $10,000 in work just to keep it on the road. 4 days after buying the car from "transmission specialists", the transmission blew up. Upon confronting them with this information on the phone, they blamed ME for it blowing up. Bringing it to a mechanic, it turns out the wrong axle was on the car leaking all of the fluid out and blowing up the transmission. Somehow, the all-knowing transmission experts at Barry's didn't find this. It was sold to me with a fresh inspection, a non functional parking brake, broken AC, broken speakers, almost nonexistent rear brakes, borderline un-inspectable rust on the "pristine" undercarriage they wouldn't give me pictures of, and a host of other issues they failed to disclose. The failing parking brake caused the car to roll into the woods and break a lot of other stuff. So far the car has needed a new clutch, new transmission, new turbo, new brakes (pads, rotors, calipers), new tires, new coolant hoses, a tire balance, a trailing arm in the suspension, a new mirror, an alignment, sunroof seals (the car would fill with water when it rained), and a host of other issues I've failed to list here. I have driven the car conservatively and put only ~3,000 miles on it. There are still more issues in the car that have to be fixed. Barry's has been extremely rude, condescending and unhelpful throughout the entire process and has completely denied any responsibility. Although the car was used and sold "as is", I was consistently lied to about the quality and health of the car, and was sold a freshly inspected car that is unlikely to pass an inspection under any other circumstances. I have bought a number of used cars and have NEVER had an experience even close to as poor as I have had at Barry's automotive. It's unreal to me that they are still in business. Avoid this place at all costs, they sell lemons for a quick profit and hide behind the "sold as is" policy on used car sales to deny any responsibility. By far the worst experience I or the rest of my family has ever experienced with any dealership or shop."

"I had a flat tire on a Friday afternoon, and I was worried about finding someplace that would fit me in. They were happy to help and provided excellent service! I highly recommend Barry’s!"

"I called them and was able to get my car in the next day, they let me know within an hour or so that I had to replace my clutch. They ordered the part & gave me an estimate the next day and I was able to get it back the day after! It wasn't cheap, but knowing that it was getting fixed by folks who really know transmission issues was worth the price!! Friendly & knowledgeable people made an unhappy repair far more enjoyable. I didn't even think twice about calling them, as they have been THE name in transmission repair for as long as I can remember. I wouldn't hesitate to refer them or to go again when in need. Thanks Barry's!!"

"We were on a family RV trip a few months ago when we ran into the unexpected and the RV broke down... We found Barry's online and from the initial phone call they were nothing but helpful! They stayed open late to greet us (and the tow truck)! They had power and water for us to hook up to and let us spend the night in their lot! On top of that they let us use one of their cars to get around town that evening. The next morning they had us up and running in no time! It was a rather simple repair and they wouldn't accept any payment from us. 800 miles from home and we felt like we were with family! A great place with great people and we would highly recommend Barry's to anyone! Our family is forever grateful!"
