Let’s meet the newest members of our Local Partner network!
S Collective—Plano, Texas
S Collective has been a Bring a Trailer member since 2019, selling Ferraris, Porsches, and McLarens with a handful of muscle cars and some automobilia thrown in for good measure. Their facility in Plano, Texas, serves the greater DFW metro area. In addition to the typical preparation and presentation services, they operate a detail shop and a service center capable of repairing and modifying late-model exotics. Get in touch with S Collective on their Local Partner page.
Michael Motorcar—Neptune, New Jersey
Michael Motorcar boasts an impressive 92% sale rate over 480 auctions since 2018, and the 10,000-plus comments to their name show how responsive and engaged they are as sellers. They are so committed to the Local Partner model that they recently opened a new facility specifically for preparing cars to be listed on BaT, and we’re very excited to welcome them to the roster. Learn more about Michael Motorcar on their Local Partner page.
Morris Brothers Motors—Salt Lake City, Utah
Morris Brothers began as a shop specializing in German performance cars (apparently, there is no law in their home state of Utah stipulating that German specialty shops include the “werks” in their business name). As a BaT seller, they have continued their Teutonic tradition with spot-on presentation. Details about their offerings can be found on their Local Partner page.
Foreign Affairs Motorsport—Pompano Beach, Florida
In just two years as a BaT seller, Foreign Affairs Motorsport has racked up more than 350 auctions for their clients in South Florida. The area is perhaps best known for exotics and high-end luxury cars, but they have listed vehicles at every price point and are not ones to shy away from the interesting and obscure. Their operation comprises a repair and body shop as well as a detailing facility, and they offer assistance with shipping and logistics in addition to preparation and auction representation. Find out more about Foreign Affairs Motorsport on their Local Partner page.
Classic Cars West—Nevada City, California
Classic Cars West is a long-established NorCal shop that began in the Bay Area and is now serving BaT members in the Lake Tahoe region. While they built their reputation restoring muscle cars, they have sold a widely eclectic range of vehicles in their 12 years on BaT. They now offer turn-key auction prep and representation out of their brand new facility in Nevada City, California, and we’re happy to welcome them to the Local Partners network. Get in touch with Classic Cars West on their their Local Partner page.
505 Motorsports—Farmington, New Mexico
New Mexicos’ 505 Motorsports is situated in one of the strangest and most beautiful parts of the country, the desert between Shiprock and the Navajo Dam on the San Juan river. As such, they are a one-stop-shop for the community of Farmington, with a full service department alongside a healthy inventory of interesting vehicles. They offer photography, detailing, service, auction representation, and shipping to owners interested in listing on Bring a Trailer. Get in touch with 505 Motorsports through their Local Partner page.
