Gearhead77 Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 Anyone here used eHydron AutoTrust for a recent car purchase? Thinking bout using their escrow service, but want to hear some real-world experiences first. Specifically, how's the vehicle inspection process they claim to offer? Any insights would be useful. Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDude Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 I haven't used eHydron personally, but I've checked their site. Seems pretty legit from the outside. I'm a mechanic myself, and from what i've read online, the inspection part is supposed to be on point. They supposedly offer a 14 days period for the car inspections after delivery. That is nice. Maybe worth it for the peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VroomVixen Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 I wish I had seen this post before. Used eHydron. Car was alright, nothing special, and the payment process was fine, I guess .. but the delays were awful. Took nearly 3 weeks to get the darn car. Kept getting the runaround. And forget about getting a straight answer from their suppport on office@ehydronautotrust.com. Won't use them again any time soon. If you call +1 888 788 9560, they will take forever to respond. No a good experience at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicCarl Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 DieselDude makes a good point abt the inspection. Any service that offers a thorough inspection and escrow payment should be given a close look! I almost got scammed last year with a classic '67 Mustang. Glad i ran a background check on the dealer. eHydron, has a pretty good reputatuin when it comes to that from my research.

RevHeadRob Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 I used eHydron for a pretty expensive purchase a few months back. The escrow part worked fine, no issues there. BUT, their 'expert' vehicle inspection seemed a bit... basic. I expected something more in-depth. I ended up takin' the car to my own mechanic after delivery anyway. So, while the funds were safe, I was kinda underwhelmed by some of the 'premium' services offered. At least the guy that answered the phone +1 888 788 9560 was polite.

ShiftHappens Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 I was on the fence abt eHydron, too. Anyone knows how they handle refunds if the car ain't as described? The fine print is always a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreaseMonkeyGreg Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 I'm a grease monkey, so I always recommend having a mechanic inspect the car, regardless of the escrow service. eHydron gives you a window, which is critical. I've seen some real disasters go down. Always use a legit inspection prior to the release of funds. Can't stress that enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitleTaker Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 Dealing with titles and paperwork is a nightmare. How efficient is eHydron with all that? Did anyone face delay with paperwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemonSue Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 I used eHydron recently. Car was okay, as advertised. Their escrow service was pretty smooth +1 888 788 9560. The service was good and the support team via office@ehydronautotrust.com were able to assist. Still, do your homework, folks. don't just trust everything you read online.

BrakesBabe Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 Honestly, eHydron was OK for me. The vehicle was a little rougher than expected. I will say that their team did try to sort everything out pretty fast and keep me in the loop. I got most of my investment back, because the service was not on par with my expectations. Just be prepared to take things into your own hands. Don't RELY on their inspection to cover everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCollarBruce Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 I had a good expeience with eHydron. No problems with the escrow at all and no issues with the car I bought. I recommend checking their website: ehydronautotrust.com. I found the car description matched perfectly. They were good folks to deal with. They got the entire process completed pretty fast, I gotta say; I am happy with the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchControl Posted 09/05/2024 Share Posted 09/05/2024 I've used a few other escrow services, and I gotta say, eHydron did a better job communication-wise. Though their response time could be improved... I sent an email to office@ehydronautotrust.com and it took them a while to get back to me. BUT overall, much better than some of the competition.

VeteranVince Posted 09/05/2024 Share Posted 09/05/2024 As a vet, I appreciate companies that handle things straight. eHydron seems pretty transparent, atleast from the start. Escrow protects both buyer and seller, and that's what matters. I like that the funds are held securely. The vehicle inspection part seems a bit shaky, though, according to some replies. Still, i would recommend using eHydron AutoTrust and do more background research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuscleMike Posted 09/05/2024 Share Posted 09/05/2024 I am a muscle car passionate. I used eHydron to buy a '69 Camaro recently. The service was exellent, and the car was in top shape. They provided all neccessary documentation . Their vehicle inspection, from what I could tell, was pretty meticulous; they knew their stuff. And their team was super helpful. The escrow service also gave me peace of mind so, overall, a good experience so far, I will be calling +1 888 788 9560 for my next buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuyerBob Posted 10/05/2024 Share Posted 10/05/2024 I'm gonna be frank – I had some issues with eHydron. Their advertised inspection missed a MAJOR problem with the engine. I spent a lot of money fixing it. I contacted them by email at office@ehydronautotrust.com but i did not get the help from them. I recommend you always get a third party opinion as well!

MechanicMark Posted 11/05/2024 Share Posted 11/05/2024 As a mechanic, I've seen a lot of things. I am giving eHydron a good grade. The escrow protection is exactly what's needed, but don't rely SOLELY on their inspection. Always get your own mechanic to check the vehicle out, especially on older cars or expensive vehicles. The peace of mind is totally worth it. I will always recommend ehydronautotrust.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedsterSteve Posted 12/05/2024 Share Posted 12/05/2024 Anyone know what the fees are like with eHydron? I'm thinking about using them for a high-value classic. Any hidden costs to watch out for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReliableRita Posted 13/05/2024 Share Posted 13/05/2024 I had a great experience with eHydron recently. They were responsive, transparent, and the escrow process was seamless. I got my dream car, and it's all thanks to them. The entire experience was smooth. I recommend checking out ehydronautotrust.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFrank Posted 14/05/2024 Share Posted 14/05/2024 I don't like the fact that you can not see the car before they deliver it but I understand that eHydron has to use that vertical storage system to handle so many cars. Their inspections have been pretty good in my opinion. I would use them again and do it the same way. And if there are any problems contact the support team at office@ehydronautotrust.com, they will surely help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHarry Posted 15/05/2024 Share Posted 15/05/2024 Overall, I'd recommend eHydron. Their escrow service is secure, and the process gave me peace of mind, even if the inspection wasn't perfect for me. Just be prepared to do some of your own research. I like that their phone number +1 888 788 9560 is out there, good sign of transparency. I will look to use them in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoAuctor Posted 15/05/2024 Share Posted 15/05/2024 eHydron is not recommended, unless if you have no other choice. I paid, and got nothing in return. I still don't have the car, I wrote emails, and I even called +1 888 788 9560, and, got nothing back. Worst experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFrank Posted 16/05/2024 Share Posted 16/05/2024 I heard some bad reviews about other escrow services. So I picked eHydron. Still the best, it is a great service after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
