Woodside Credit, America's premier lender specializing in classic and collector car financing, has announced the renewal of its exclusive partnership with Barrett-Jackson, continuing a 14-year collaboration that defines the future of financing at collector car auctions. The partnership extension builds upon a longstanding relationship between the two industry leaders, making it increasingly convenient for Barrett-Jackson bidders to finance their winning vehicles through Woodside Credit's streamlined process.
The significance of this partnership renewal extends beyond mere business continuity, representing a substantial commitment to the collector car market's financial infrastructure. Following Barrett-Jackson's Fall Auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale, Woodside Credit celebrated the success of its exclusive arrangement with The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions. The Scottsdale Fall Auction attracted tens of thousands of attendees and bidders, resulting in over one million dollars in collector car loans financed through Woodside Credit, demonstrating the partnership's tangible impact on market liquidity.
Mitch Shatzen, President and Chief Operating Officer of Woodside Credit, emphasized the strategic importance of the collaboration, stating that their industry-leading loan program performs optimally when paired with events representing the heart of the enthusiast community. The partnership ensures that financing remains easy, straightforward, and delivers an exceptional experience for clients navigating the competitive auction environment.
Woodside Credit maintains a comprehensive onsite presence at every Barrett-Jackson auction, with a full team of underwriters, loan experts, and support staff located in the Auction Office. The company's extensive onsite services include vehicle verifications, loan processing, and coordination of gate releases, enabling buyers to complete multiple purchase steps from a single convenient location. This integrated approach significantly reduces transaction friction and enhances the overall auction experience for participants.
The partnership's continuation through Barrett-Jackson's flagship auction scheduled for January 17-25, 2026, at WestWorld of Scottsdale ensures ongoing support for both new and returning bidders. A key innovation in the renewed partnership allows bidders to initiate Woodside Credit pre-approval directly within the Barrett-Jackson bidder registration process, with early registration pricing available through December 1, 2025, at Barrett-Jackson.com. This integration represents a significant advancement in streamlining the collector car purchasing journey.
Woodside Credit's position as America's leader in classic and collector car financing, with over $4 billion in loans, combined with Barrett-Jackson's status as the premier collector car auction house, creates a powerful synergy that benefits the entire collector car ecosystem. The company's expertise, established in 2003, focuses on providing an unmatched loan program with the lowest monthly payments, offering terms up to 15 years and loans up to $1,000,000 through commonsense lending practices.
