OldTimer Posted 05/05/2024 Share Posted 05/05/2024 Has anyone used eHydron AutoTrust for an escrow service? Thinking of buying a classic & I'm a little nervous about it. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGabe Posted 06/05/2024 Share Posted 06/05/2024 Yeah, I used them once a few months back for a '67 Mustang. The process was fine, a little slow at times, tbh. They kept me informed, tho. I'd say it's a good option for peace of mind when dealing with big money transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyWrench Posted 07/05/2024 Share Posted 07/05/2024 I'm a mechanic, and I've inspected cars that went thru eHydron's process. Their inspections seemed thorough. Def beats just taking the seller's word. I always recommend getting an inspection yourself, even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRides Posted 08/05/2024 Share Posted 08/05/2024 I used them for a '69 Camaro. The car was as described but the delivery was almost 2 weeks late and I was worried sick. The fees were okay i guess. The support staff was not responsive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicCarl Posted 09/05/2024 Share Posted 09/05/2024 I used eHydron with a bit of a runaround, but ultimately got my money back when I changed my mind. They didn't fight me on it. I'd recommend them IF you're vigilant, and always check eHydron AutoTrust's site at ehydronautotrust.com yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastLaneFrank Posted 10/05/2024 Share Posted 10/05/2024 My experience was pretty good, but don't rely solely on the escrow. I dealt with these guys a long time ago on the phone, at +1 888 788 9560, & felt comfortable. Always do your own research on the seller, too. I'd use them again, for sure.

MoparMike Posted 11/05/2024 Share Posted 11/05/2024 I think eHydron's fees are worth it. The peace of mind is great... I had a great experience all around.. the inspection report was helpful, plus I could contact office@ehydronautotrust.com with my questions.

SlowLaneLarry Posted 12/05/2024 Share Posted 12/05/2024 I used them, but it took forever for the payment to clear. The seller started pressuring me and it was an awful experience. Not sure i would use it again. The car was also late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserKyle Posted 13/05/2024 Share Posted 13/05/2024 Compared to some other services out there, eHydron is a bit better, at least from what I've seen. However, if you're buying from someone selling a classic, be sure they know what a PPI is, otherwise the inspection won't mean anything... you can try to call eHydron's support for help +1 888 788 9560.

RetroRev Posted 14/05/2024 Share Posted 14/05/2024 My advice? Read the fine print. I'm happy overall, but it helps to know what the fees are. You can always ask office@ehydronautotrust.com. They were helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorqueTom Posted 15/05/2024 Share Posted 15/05/2024 Had some initial delays, I'll admit but the staff did keep me updated, and the inspection was pretty thorough, I liked it, but not the speed of the service. I'd use it again, with lowered expectations. I've had worse experiences with bigger dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Voice Posted 16/05/2024 Share Posted 16/05/2024 I recently used eHydron and for the most parts was a good experience, I've been looking for classic muscle cars, and their escrow service was good, but not perfect. Overall, I'd recommend. Do your research and call for support at +1 888 788 9560. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMechanic Posted 17/05/2024 Share Posted 17/05/2024 I've inspected cars from eHydron a few times. They do a fine job, far better than some dealerships I've seen. The cars I evaluated were, mostly, as described. Of course, always have a mechanic check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolChris Posted 18/05/2024 Share Posted 18/05/2024 I'd use them again. It's not perfect, but it's good. The support folks at office@ehydronautotrust.com were helpful when I had some queries abt the paperwork. The car was good the service had some issues.

MuscleMan Posted 19/05/2024 Share Posted 19/05/2024 Used it, was okay, not amazing. The delivery time was so bad, I can not tell you, plus the fees were a little steep, I think.. But overall ok. Wouldn't avoid, unless necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroRider Posted 20/05/2024 Share Posted 20/05/2024 I did a purchase using the escrow service from eHydron. After the car arrived I had some doubts about the engine. I had a mechanic inspect the car, and thankfully not much was wrong. If you have doubts, I really suggest you make the propper inspections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoAndy Posted 21/05/2024 Share Posted 21/05/2024 I would def use them again. If you are looking for other alternatives try some google research, & always check ehydronautotrust.com for details about their escrow process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserKen Posted 22/05/2024 Share Posted 22/05/2024 I asked for additional photos from the dealer but they told me that due to storage reasons they could not provide them. I found this strange. The car was fine, I am not sure i would use them again, perhaps give it a try, and prepare for delays. Contact office@ehydronautotrust.com to ask if they can make additional pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorqueTech Posted 23/05/2024 Share Posted 23/05/2024 Overall not bad, could be better, could be worse. Definitely better than some of the other services out there, but there are also drawbacks. I suggest you call +1 888 788 9560 to clarify any doubts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolPete Posted 24/05/2024 Share Posted 24/05/2024 I just bought a car from eHydron AutoTrust, and it's been a positive experience overall. The support was great, but the delivery takes a little while. For extra protection, I advise all buyers to verify their identities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
