What Customers Are Saying
"If only more car dealerships could be like this one! We have been searching for an X5 for several months now. Every dealership we had been to fell into that stereotypical rob you blind/bait and switch mentality. Except this one. Hands down this was the best dealership my husband and I have ever been to! The hospitality alone is enough for us to make the 3 hour trip out there. ... I would definitely buy a car from them again in the future."

"Don't let the huge dealerships convince you that only they can give you the best deal on a new or used vehicle. I got the best deal from Barkers in Lexington when I compared and competitively shopped for my new car. So if you're looking for no pressure and a great price on a new or used car, Barker Chevrolet in Lexington is the place to go."

"Barker has worked on my F150 twice now and both service experiences were top notch. Clear communication on the timeline to finish the repairs and they stuck to their word. I will be sending all my vehicles into Barker for service work from now on."
