Woodside Credit Renews Exclusive Partnership with Barrett-Jackson Auctions, Expanding Collector Car Financing Access

Woodside Credit, America's leading lender specializing in classic and collector car financing, has renewed its exclusive partnership with Barrett-Jackson, continuing a 14-year collaboration that defines the future of financing at collector car auctions. The partnership renewal comes after Barrett-Jackson's Fall Auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale, where the event drew tens of thousands of attendees and bidders, resulting in over a million dollars in collector car loans financed through Woodside Credit's streamlined process.

The significance of this extended partnership lies in its potential to expand access to collector car ownership through specialized financing solutions. As Mitch Shatzen, President and Chief Operating Officer of Woodside Credit, stated, "Our industry-leading loan program is at its best when paired with events that represent the heart of the enthusiast community. Together, we make financing easy, straightforward, and an exceptional experience for our clients." This collaboration addresses a critical need in the collector car market where traditional financing options often fall short for high-value, specialty vehicles.

Woodside Credit maintains a full team of underwriters, loan experts, and support staff located in the Auction Office at every Barrett-Jackson auction, providing comprehensive onsite services including vehicle verifications, loan processing, and coordination of gate releases. This integrated approach allows buyers to complete multiple steps of their purchase from one convenient location, significantly streamlining what has traditionally been a complex transaction process for high-value collector vehicles.

The partnership's impact extends beyond immediate transaction convenience, potentially influencing broader market dynamics in the collector car industry. By making financing more accessible through terms up to 15 years and loans up to $1,000,000, as detailed on WoodsideCredit.com, the collaboration could stimulate market growth and participation from new demographic segments. The integration of 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, represents a significant advancement in auction financing technology and customer experience.

This renewed partnership comes at a time when the collector car market continues to demonstrate resilience and growth, with Woodside Credit having facilitated over $4 billion in loans since its establishment in 2003. The company's continued exclusive endorsement by Barrett-Jackson, the purveyor of The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions, signals confidence in Woodside Credit's commonsense lending practices and their ability to serve both new and returning bidders. Woodside Credit will return to WestWorld of Scottsdale for Barrett-Jackson's flagship auction scheduled for January 17-25, 2026, continuing its support of the collector car community and setting new standards for specialty automotive financing services.
