About Us
Barrington Auto Specialists
Premier used vehicles in Barrington, without the runaround
Imports, German makes, EVs, and the hard-to-find specialty stuff — all on one lot, priced where real budgets actually live.

A local lot that shops like a big one
Barrington Auto Specialists builds our reputation on imports, German vehicles, electrics, and the occasional specialty car you won't find anywhere else in the northwest suburbs. A big share of our inventory lands at $20,000 and under — first cars, second cars, and honest daily drivers for people who care what things cost.
Every vehicle is inspected and serviced in our own shop before it hits the front line. If we wouldn't put a family member in it, it doesn't get a price tag.
What you'll actually find on the lot
We don't stock a little of everything. We stock a lot of what our buyers keep asking for.
Imports & German makes
Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Toyota, Honda — the cars our regulars trade up through.
Electric vehicles
Used EVs priced sensibly — a smart way into electric without the new-car sticker.
Vehicles under $20,000
The heart of our inventory. Inspected, serviced, and priced for first-car and second-car budgets.
Specialty & hard-to-find cars
Buyers come from out of state for these. If we don't have it, tell us what you're hunting for and we'll watch for it.
How buying here works
No games, no four-square worksheets, no mystery fees at the finish line. Our best compliment is a referral — most of our business comes from friends and family of people we've already sold to, and we intend to keep it that way.
