Barker Motor Company has been serving McLean County since the early
1930's. Originally established in 1917 as a Ford dealer in Danville,
Illinois the Ford franchise in Champaign, Illinois was acquired later
and both were liquidated before Alden Barker brought his team to
Bloomington, Illinois.
Over the years Barker Motor Company has represented many franchises,
American Motors, Jeep, Subaru, Honda, and probably the one best
remembered Oldsmobile. Today Barker Motor Company represents GMC light
and medium duty trucks, Cadillac, Workhorse, and Isuzu W-Series at 2030
Ireland Grove Rd. Just up the road in Lexington, Illinois Barker Motor
Companies sister store, barker Chevrolet was opened in 2004 to bring a
third dimension to our product portfolio after GM decided to retire
Oldsmobile. Both locations offer complete sales, service, and leasing
functions, including two large parts inventories that include
Caterpillar, Isuzu, Workhorse and GM genuine parts.
For seven decades Barkers has been here watching franchises and
competitors come and go. A few basic principals contribute to the
companies success, good service, fair pricing, quality products, and
"Doing unto others as we would have them do unto us." Words are only
words unless they're supported with deeds. Give us a call Monday-Friday
or stop by and give us a try to see if you won't agree with what we say is
true.
