Meet our New BaT Local Partners in SC, MO, CA, and PA: A Practical Look

Our growing network of BaT Local Partners now includes trusted shops all over the United States and in three Canadian provinces, three European countries, and the UK. Every few weeks, we take some time to recognize the newest members of the community, and today we’re welcoming five new Local Partners in Missouri, South Carolina, California, and Pennsylvania. Some of them have been on BaT for over a decade, and some have joined more recently, but we’re excited that all of them have signed on to offer their services to owners wanting professional assistance selling their vehicles on Bring a Trailer.

For those unfamiliar with the Local Partners program, it is a network of vetted shops who know what it takes to present an exceptional BaT auction. These facilities offer preparation services like detailing, video and photography packages, and management of the submission and live auction process if desired. Many also offer maintenance and restoration, as well as logistical support including storage and transport. Please join us in welcoming our newest BaT Local Partners!

Classic Car Studio—St. Louis, Missouri

Classic Car Studio, aka @arkbuildernoah on BaT, has been in the business of restoring and representing vehicles for two decades. Their 15,000 square-foot shop in St. Louis houses 15 technicians with expertise in restoration, fabrication, modification, and all varieties of mechanical work. Combine that with skilled preparation and representation, and there’s not much more one could ask from a Local Partner. Find out more about CCS and their plethora of offerings on their BaT Local Partner page.

Competition Cars—Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Competition Cars has been an active seller on BaT for eight years now, and is closing in on 400 auctions. You’ll often see them associated with impeccably-kept American luxo-coupes from the 1970s, but they don’t hesitate to bring in more exotic fare. Five different buyers have written Success Stories about their experiences with Competition Cars, and they’re proven their ability to make happy customers on both sides of a sale. From their shop in Myrtle Beach, they handle vehicle preparation, photography, transportation, and auction representation. Their Local Partner offerings are detailed right on the front page of their company website.

Kevin Kay Restorations—Redding, California

For over three decades, Kevin Kay Restorations has been refurbishing and maintaining British and European cars and motorcycles, with a specialty in Aston Martins. Over the years, they’ve grown into a thirty-person operation in a 36,000 sq. ft. facility offering in-house metalworking, body panel fabrication and repair, mechanical overhauls, and a show-quality body and paint work. Their high standards have earned them a discriminating clientele, and they have now joined the Local Partners network to offer end-to-end, turn-key support for sellers, able to handle everything from submission and auction representation to real-time comment responses, as well as post-auction administration and logistics. Their Local Partner page details their offering in full, and be sure to click through the restoration galleries, as well!

UDrive Automobiles—West Chester, Pennsylvania

UDrive has been consigning cars on BaT for many years now, and we’re happy they’ve joined the Local Partner network, serving clients in the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area. From their sleek boutique shop in West Chester, they can coordinate mechanical service, cosmetic preparation, and professional photography and video in addition to full-service auction representation. Get in touch with UDrive via their Local Partner page.

Enthusiast Spec—Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Enthusiast Spec is our next Pennsylvania-based Local Partner, located in Bucks County—equidistant from New York City and Philly. They specialize in preparation and presentation, and have a full-service indoor photography studio, which surely comes in handy this time of year. Mechanical service and transport are coordinated within their network of professional contacts, and they are happy to shepherd client cars through all phases of the BaT process, including representing the vehicle during the live auction. Their offerings are listed in greater detail on their Local Partner page
