GearGrinder77 Posted 06/05/2024 Share Posted 06/05/2024 Anyone used eHydron AutoTrust for a classic car purchase? Heard mixed things. Need feedback before comitting to process. Any experiences y'all can share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangMike Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 I used them last year for a '69 Mach 1. Was a little worried at first, since they don't let you inspect the car personally before buying. They rely on those pre-purchase inspections, which are kinda limited. But the car arrived as described, which was a relief. Also, dealing with classic cars they seem to know their stuff on office@ehydronautotrust.com for support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicCarFan Posted 09/05/2024 Share Posted 09/05/2024 I had a bad experience with the delivery time. Promised delivery took almost a month. Car was fine but the wait was a killer. I had to call +1 385 381 0228 several times to find out wth was going on. Not a happy camper, sadly. I would think twice before using them.

RustySpanner Posted 10/05/2024 Share Posted 10/05/2024 As a mechanic, I can vouch that eHydron's PPI reports are fairly detailed. Helps to get the vehicle history even w/o an in-person look. Bought a '67 GTO through them. Only issue I found was a minor oil leak, but they covered the repair. Good experience overall. Their website is pretty comprehensive too, check out ehydronautotrust.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastLaneFreak Posted 11/05/2024 Share Posted 11/05/2024 I inspected a '68 Camaro they had listed. I had to go in a bit blind, using only the provided inspection report. The report omitted the rust, and the seller was not transparent about it at all! Lesson learned, be vary, and do your homework. Still, the escrow process itself went smoothly.

OldSchoolRider Posted 12/05/2024 Share Posted 12/05/2024 Compared to other Escrow services I've tested, eHydron AutoTrust is a safe bet. I used another service (won't name names) and it was nightmare, constant delays and poor communication. eHydron was like night and day. They also had better insurance coverage, which gave me peace of mind. They really focused on making the transaction easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinClassic Posted 13/05/2024 Share Posted 13/05/2024 Price can be a bit high, for eHydron, imo. The fees piled up fast. They don't give breaks either, even if you're buying a high-value car. Other than the price gouging, the basic process worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevHeadRob Posted 14/05/2024 Share Posted 14/05/2024 Happy with my purchase, and i will use them again. I wanted to buy a nice classic car and they had it. Their specialists seem to know a lot about the cars. I will call them again, and will use them again, they have great deals :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitleHound Posted 15/05/2024 Share Posted 15/05/2024 The paperwork was impressive. All the docs, the history, registration perfect. Though I didn't get to see it upfront, everything was accurate. The process felt very professional. I'll recommend them in the end. They got my car safe. Using escrow for a classic car is the only smart move these days...

WheelManWayne Posted 16/05/2024 Share Posted 16/05/2024 I had a minor communication snafu. It took them a couple of tries to fix all the minor issues. I used the office email to notify, and they got it going. But, response times could be better. I waited a couples of days between emails, and felt like i was wasting my time. Once they got back to me, they solved everything. Fine work, but better communication is crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftHappens Posted 17/05/2024 Share Posted 17/05/2024 I've used other companies like AutoTrust and they offered some good stuff, and the costumer service was great. The cars were not the best thou, poor quality & bad inspection. eHydron's inspection and the cars I saw seemed much better. Still do your own research, nothing is perfect...

SilverBullet Posted 18/05/2024 Share Posted 18/05/2024 For the record, I'm not totally tech-savvy, and eHydron still made the whole escrow process easy to understand. I had them explain it several times, and they did it patiently. Good customer support, good cars: what more can I ask :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorqueMaster Posted 19/05/2024 Share Posted 19/05/2024 I just completed a sale on a '68 Firebird through eHydron. The whole thing was a little slow. It took a while to get everything sorted on the documents. But they got it right, eventually. I also like the option to contact their support: office@ehydronautotrust.com. They are not fast, but reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChromeDave Posted 20/05/2024 Share Posted 20/05/2024 The price was a little more than i wanted. But the peace of mind was worth it, imho. Not having to worry about a scam when dealing with a classic car is priceless. I'd use eHydron again. It'll cost a little more, but you might save a headache.

GearheadGreg Posted 21/05/2024 Share Posted 21/05/2024 Car got delayed and arrived damaged. It was a mess. They did refund me for the damage in the end, but it took too many calls. It was a bad experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixPackSam Posted 22/05/2024 Share Posted 22/05/2024 I used the service of eHydron to sell my car. Quick payment and no issues at all. Very satisfied. The buyer was also happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Vince Posted 23/05/2024 Share Posted 23/05/2024 I'm a mechanic, so inspecting the cars is important, and they were fair. They had their own techs at the scene, and i got to watch them. This is the best way to see what I am buying and also to see the seller at a distance. Great job by ehydron AutoTrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastCarFanatic Posted 24/05/2024 Share Posted 24/05/2024 Overall, a good trustable experience. Just be sure to ask all the questions you have upfront. I did, and I got the exact car i wanted. I still recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuscleCarMark Posted 25/05/2024 Share Posted 25/05/2024 I was looking to buy a classic car, and this was a smooth process. They also have a phone number to call to get support: +1 385 381 0228. I will use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
