Woodside Credit has renewed its exclusive partnership with Barrett-Jackson, marking the 14th year of collaboration between America's leading classic car lender and the world's premier collector car auction house. The extended partnership builds upon a successful relationship that has consistently made vehicle financing more accessible to auction participants while supporting the broader collector car marketplace.
The importance of this partnership renewal lies in its continued facilitation of high-value collector car transactions through specialized financing solutions. Following Barrett-Jackson's recent Fall Auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale, the partnership demonstrated significant impact, with Woodside Credit financing over one million dollars in collector car loans during the event that drew tens of thousands of attendees and bidders. This financial accessibility directly supports market liquidity and enables more enthusiasts to participate in the collector car economy.
Mitch Shatzen, President and Chief Operating Officer of Woodside Credit, emphasized the strategic value of the partnership, noting that their industry-leading loan program performs best when integrated with events that represent the enthusiast community's core. The collaboration ensures that financing remains straightforward and enhances the overall client experience during high-stakes auction environments.
The partnership's operational framework includes Woodside Credit maintaining a full team of underwriters, loan experts, and support staff physically present in the Auction Office at every Barrett-Jackson event. This comprehensive onsite service model encompasses vehicle verifications, loan processing, and coordination of gate releases, allowing buyers to complete multiple purchase steps from a single convenient location. The integration extends to digital processes as well, with bidders able to initiate Woodside Credit pre-approval directly within the Barrett-Jackson bidder registration process available at Barrett-Jackson.com.
For the collector car industry, this exclusive partnership represents stability and growth in specialty financing. Woodside Credit's extensive experience, with over $4 billion in loans and terms extending up to 15 years for amounts reaching $1,000,000, provides crucial financial infrastructure for a market segment that often involves substantial investment. The company's commonsense lending practices and focus on lowest monthly payments make high-value collector vehicles more attainable for a broader range of enthusiasts.
The continued collaboration signals confidence in the collector car market's health and growth potential. Woodside Credit will return to WestWorld of Scottsdale for Barrett-Jackson's flagship auction scheduled for January 17-25, 2026, maintaining support for both new and returning bidders. Early registration pricing remains available through December 1, 2025, providing additional incentive for prospective buyers to engage with the streamlined financing process.

This enduring partnership between two industry leaders not only benefits immediate auction participants but also strengthens the entire collector car ecosystem by ensuring reliable, specialized financing remains available to support market transactions. The collaboration's longevity demonstrates its effectiveness in meeting the unique needs of collector car enthusiasts while contributing to the financial infrastructure that sustains this specialized automotive sector.
