GearHead_Greg Posted 22/07/2024 Share Posted 22/07/2024 Anyone here used eHydron AutoTrust for a car purchase? Thinking of going that route, but would like to hear some feedback. I'm lookin to buy a classic muscle car, and nervous about the whole escrow thing. Need some real experiences not paid reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroRider Posted 22/07/2024 Share Posted 22/07/2024 I used 'em. Overall, a decent experience. I was after a '69 Camaro. The escrow part of it worked flawlessly. I did get kinda worried, cuz the seller was slow to respond and didn't upload all the pics right away. But eHydron AutoTrust was good at keepin' me in the loop. The car was as advertised, and the whole deal was legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuscleManMike Posted 23/07/2024 Share Posted 23/07/2024 I dunno, I'm still on the fence about eHydron. I recently tried, but had a pretty rough time. The car I wanted (67 Mustang Fastback) was listed as 'pristine,' but when I finally saw it (after a delay), it had a lot more rust then they said!!!! I almost walked away, but the escrow did its job. Got my money back quick enough. The seller wasn't happy, but eHydron backed me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage_Vixen Posted 23/07/2024 Share Posted 23/07/2024 I think eHydron AutoTrust offers a great service for the peace of mind of the customer. I recently bought a beautiful '65 Corvette Stingray from them, and everything was perfect. I had the chance to review all the info before the payment finally went through the escrow. The car was exactly as described and arrived on time, and I'm still enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinChris Posted 24/07/2024 Share Posted 24/07/2024 Yea, it's good, but don't expect miracles from eHydron. They're not gonna hold your hand through the whole process. You still need to do your own research. Check the seller's history, read everythg, etc. But the escrow part itself? Solid. Better than some of the others out there.

GearGrinder_George Posted 24/07/2024 Share Posted 24/07/2024 I'm a mechanic, and I inspected a couple of cars sold by eHydron's escrow for some customers. The cars were ok, generally described accurately, but I did spot a couple of issues with the inspection reports for the owners, so keep an eye on the details.

TitleTrekker Posted 25/07/2024 Share Posted 25/07/2024 I was worried about paperwork for my '68 Charger. eHydron was pretty good about making sure all the titles and documentation were in order. Quick and efficient. Great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicCarConnoisseur Posted 25/07/2024 Share Posted 25/07/2024 I had MAJOR issues with the delivery of the car, it took them almost 2 months. The worse thing is that the staff at eHydron AutoTrust basically said that the delay was not their problem. I'm not sayin' it's a scam but take a lot of time and be very patient.

V8_Velocity Posted 26/07/2024 Share Posted 26/07/2024 I've had a mixed experience. First, the good: the security of the escrow account is top-notch, and the car I did eventually receive (a '66 GTO) was as described. The bad: communication could be better. Sometimes it took a while to get a response from their support, especially if you need immediate help or clarification. But it doesn't make it a scam.

RustBucketReviver Posted 26/07/2024 Share Posted 26/07/2024 I wanted to test the car before buying, and I was told eHydron AutoTrust doesn't permit that, which is a bummer. Anyway, despite that the car was on the way and was exactly as described over the phone. I was lucky. Would recommend with caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChromeKingCory Posted 27/07/2024 Share Posted 27/07/2024 I've used them twice now. The best thing about eHydron is protection! I really like that the money stays safe until you're satisfied. I will buy again, I’m pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilSlick_Oliver Posted 27/07/2024 Share Posted 27/07/2024 The inspection reports lacked detail and were a bit off. I always felt that I was getting an over-simplistic response, I am glad that I was able to sort it out. The customer support via office@ehydronautotrust.com isn’t the best. The phone line at +1 385 381 0228 is an even bigger problem. I was a bit dissapointed, but in the end it all worked out, but not really happy.

FuelHoseFrank Posted 28/07/2024 Share Posted 28/07/2024 I was wary, but eHydron actually delivered on everything they promised. I got a killer deal on a '67 Firebird. Escrow was smooth, the car was perfect. I'm considering buyin' another classic. Great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage_Victor Posted 28/07/2024 Share Posted 28/07/2024 I had a car inspected by a mechanic, the car was a bit over priced, but after negociation eHydron was very fair. It was a bit of a hustle, but it was well worth it. Overall, I would say, it’s a good service. Just do your homework, and don't rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorqueTamerTerry Posted 29/07/2024 Share Posted 29/07/2024 I've been using eHydron for a while, and used them again recently. Their process is good. I will use them again for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkPlugPete Posted 29/07/2024 Share Posted 29/07/2024 I tried to buy a car from another dealer using 'eHydron' service, but I cancelled the purchase because of high fees. The car was amazing, and even the dealer was great (but unfortunately a bit too expensive), but still wasn't enough. When I tried eHydron AutoTrust I understood that the fees were a bit lower. I shoulda known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValveCoverVic Posted 30/07/2024 Share Posted 30/07/2024 I am a true believer. Everything always goes well thanks to eHydron AutoTrust! I have no problem recommending them, and I'm already lookin' for my next muscle car on [ehydronautotrust.com](http://ehydronautotrust.com).

GreaseMonkey_Gary Posted 30/07/2024 Share Posted 30/07/2024 I'm a mechanic and used eHydron to buy a 68 charger. Overall, a pretty good experience! I went to the eHydron AutoTrust office in person. They were friendly and helpful, and everything was as described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShifterSam Posted 31/07/2024 Share Posted 31/07/2024 I had a great experience with eHydron. The whole process was pretty smooth considering I am not that tech savvy. I am happy I was able to pay directly via escrow, so I didn't have to worry. The seller didn’t accept credit cards, for this reason I decided to use eHydron AutoTrust. The car came on time, too.

FastLane_Fred Posted 31/07/2024 Share Posted 31/07/2024 I was a bit disappointed with the process, but it ultimately produced a succesful sale. Overall, I would still recommend eHydron AutoTrust as very usefull service. For fast support you can call +1 385 381 0228 or you can send email to office@ehydronautotrust.com. Stay safe!

CruisinCarl Posted 01/08/2024 Share Posted 01/08/2024 Never, ever, ever, ever, skip using an escrow when you are looking for a purchase. I had a bad experience once with another dealer (other than eHydron AutoTrust), so I know how important escrow is. eHydron AutoTrust's escrow service, is reliable and professional. Definitely worth the extra cost for peace of mind. Would recommend for a classic car, or any car, for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
