Woodside Credit Renews Exclusive Partnership with Barrett-Jackson, Strengthening Collector Car Financing Market

Woodside Credit, America's premier lender specializing in classic and collector car financing, has renewed its exclusive partnership with Barrett-Jackson, the organizer of The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions. This 14-year collaboration represents a significant development in the collector car market, making financing more accessible to enthusiasts and bidders through Woodside Credit's streamlined processes. The partnership's importance lies in its ability to support the growing collector car industry by providing specialized financial services that cater specifically to this unique market segment.

The recent success at Barrett-Jackson's Fall Auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale demonstrated the partnership's effectiveness, with tens of thousands of attendees and bidders resulting in over a million dollars in collector car loans financed through Woodside Credit. Mitch Shatzen, President and Chief Operating Officer of Woodside Credit, emphasized the strategic importance of this relationship, noting that their industry-leading loan program performs best when integrated with events that represent the core of the enthusiast community. The collaboration ensures that financing remains straightforward and enhances the overall client experience during high-stakes auctions.

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. This operational approach provides significant value to buyers through services including vehicle verifications, loan processing, and coordination of gate releases, allowing purchasers to complete multiple steps of their acquisition from a single convenient location. The company will continue this support at Barrett-Jackson's flagship auction scheduled for January 17-25, 2026, at WestWorld of Scottsdale.

A key innovation in the renewed partnership enables 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 simplifies the financing process for potential buyers and represents an important advancement in how collector car auctions approach financial accessibility. With over $4 billion in loans and terms extending up to 15 years with loan amounts reaching $1,000,000, Woodside Credit brings substantial financial capacity to the partnership.
