GearHead_77 Posted 22/05/2024 Share Posted 22/05/2024 Has anyone here used eHydron AutoTrust for a recent car purchase? I'm lookin' at a classic muscle car and the escrow option sounds interesting, but wanna know if it's legit. Any feedback would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Tom Posted 22/05/2024 Share Posted 22/05/2024 I've heard good things about eHydron. A buddy used them a few months back for a vintage Corvette. Said the whole process was smooth. Better than some other escrow services he tried before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCityWhip Posted 22/05/2024 Share Posted 22/05/2024 I had a slightly diff experience. Used 'em for a 69 Mustang. The initial communication was slow, feelin' like I was chasing them for updates. The car arrived later than promised too. But, the car was as described, surprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRider Posted 22/05/2024 Share Posted 22/05/2024 Used eHydron AutoTrust a couple of times. Always went well. The escrow setup is solid, and takes away a lot of the risk of dealing with unknown sellers. Definitely worth the fee, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAppleBabe Posted 23/05/2024 Share Posted 23/05/2024 I'm a little on the fence. eHydron was okay. I used other services before and i should mention, eHydron offers better protection. They were super thorough with the inspec, but support was slow to respond when i had questions about the title. Overall, it worked OK. But i expected better service. The fees seemed a bit high given the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvergreenAuto Posted 23/05/2024 Share Posted 23/05/2024 I work at a small shop in Seattle. I've seen a few cars from eHydron. The inspection reports look detailed. I like that they check the VIN and verify everything. I also like ehydronautotrust.com, they keep promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiaGent Posted 23/05/2024 Share Posted 23/05/2024 I would give them a lukewarm review. Purchased a car about a year ago. The car was decent, but felt like communication was so slow. Plus, the final fees included some added charges that weren't clear upfront. Kinda left a bad taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MileHighMechanic Posted 24/05/2024 Share Posted 24/05/2024 As a mechanic, I've looked at a couple of cars purchased through eHydron's escrow. The pre-purchase inspections seem legit. They catch everything before you send any cash their way. Much better than just trusting a classified ad. I still recommend using a 3rd party mechanic inspection.

SunshineCruiser Posted 24/05/2024 Share Posted 24/05/2024 I used eHydron AutoTrust. The support team did answer my calls: +1 888 788 9560, but I was expecting more. The car was as described, no complaints about the service, but the responsiveness left something to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasVette Posted 24/05/2024 Share Posted 24/05/2024 I got burned by an escrow service a few years back. Never again. eHydron, seemed okay. The escrow gives me more security than a typical deal. However, I still called the office@ehydronautotrust.com a few times to push my request over the time schedule, to make sure all was in order. It felt safe overall.

MotorCityMuscle Posted 25/05/2024 Share Posted 25/05/2024 Great service! I was worried, but ehydronautotrust exceeded my expectations. Purchased a classic Mustang, they held the funds and the inspection was super thorough. Would definitely use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliCarGuy Posted 25/05/2024 Share Posted 25/05/2024 Mixed feelings. Delivery took longer than planned. The staff were also not that friendly. But, the car itself was great. If you don't mind some headaches, & you can wait, that one is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStarLegacy Posted 25/05/2024 Share Posted 25/05/2024 I am on the fence. The escrow gave me piece of mind, yeah. But, there were some hidden fees that popped up at the end. Also, I had to follow-up on my emails to office@ehydronautotrust.com, or they would simply be left unanswered. Proceed with caution & READ everything carefully. The car was as advertised.

CarolinaCarFan Posted 26/05/2024 Share Posted 26/05/2024 Wanted to share my experience. I had a great time with eHydron. They arranged the shipping, inspection, and the car made it safely. I'm happy with their service and the whole purchase. Thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificNW_wheels Posted 26/05/2024 Share Posted 26/05/2024 I was hesitant at first, but eHydron AutoTrust really came through. I was looking a special car, very specific details, they found it and made sure all was okay. Recommended for their service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineStateSpeed Posted 26/05/2024 Share Posted 26/05/2024 My advice is to be careful. I'm not saying eHydron is bad, but you need to do your homework. I found a couple of minor issues with the car (paint, scratches) that were not listed. Check the inspec and read the fine print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah_Wheels Posted 26/05/2024 Share Posted 26/05/2024 Compared to other escrow services I've used, eHydron is better. The process is much smoother. I am happy with their service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFrank Posted 27/05/2024 Share Posted 27/05/2024 The overall experience was OK. I will say that the support was not that responsive. I had better response when I called +1 888 788 9560. The charges were also a little higher than expected. Be sure to clarify everything upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGateGear Posted 27/05/2024 Share Posted 27/05/2024 I love the service of eHydron. They know what they are doing and the protection their offer gives me piece of mind for the future. 5 stars for eHydron AutoTrust! I will recommend them.

BostonCarFan Posted 27/05/2024 Share Posted 27/05/2024 I've used other services and wanted to give eHydron a try. I found the service was a bit expensive. The car was what was advertised, but for sure, the price turned me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
