How it works
The record is the product.
Who worked on a car, what they did, and what the owner said afterwards. Everything on the site either adds to that record or reads from it.
For owners
Find the person who knows your car.
Step 1
Search by the job.
Ten trades, in the order a car usually needs them across a year. Pick one, then narrow by marque, by city, or by whether the shop comes to you.
- 01Check it
Pre-Purchase Inspection
An honest set of eyes on a car before you wire the money. Compression, panel gaps, the things sellers do not photograph.

Step 2
Read the owner record.
Every profile carries reviews from the owners who used the shop. No average is shown until there are three. A shop can answer a review but never remove one.
Live: the newest shops in the directory.
Step 3
Send a brief.
Describe the car and the job once. The shop gets it by email with everything it needs to quote, and replies to you directly. You talk to the person doing the work.

Step 4
Review the work.
When the job is done, your review goes on the shop's record for the next owner to read. That is the whole mechanism, and it is why the record is worth something.
Owner, 1972 Alfa Romeo GTVFound a cracked exhaust manifold the seller had not mentioned and a tired clutch. Report had forty photos. I paid eleven hundred less than asking because of it.
Reply from the shop
Glad it helped. The manifold is a known weak point on the 2000; we have a used one on the shelf if you go ahead.

For shops and specialists
Your page may already be built.
Step 1
Approve the draft, or fix it first.
For many shops we build a profile from public information and email the owner a link. It is not live until you approve it. If you never answer, it stays unpublished. If you want it down, it comes down the same day.

Enquiries arrive with the job described.
An owner fills in the car, where it is and what it needs. You get an email, you quote, you invoice them yourself. Fully Sorted is never in the middle of the money.

Selling a car
One fee, paid once. No clock.
Step 1
Four fields and the photos.
Year, make, model, asking price, then the pictures. The description comes after, and a line on what needs attention is encouraged. Buyers trust a listing that admits something.

Step 3
Buyers come to you.
Your card shows the car, the city and the price, and whether a private owner or a dealer is selling. Buyers write through the site; you decide when to share a number. Mark it sold when it sells and nothing more is owed.
Live: a car listed on the site right now.
Buying a car
Know the car before the wire goes.
Step 1
Read the model history.
What was built, what changed year to year, what goes wrong and what it costs to put right. Cited, with disputed figures flagged rather than smoothed over.
Live: one of the published model histories.
Step 2
Get it inspected where it sits.
Find an inspector near the car, not near you, and have the report before you send money. Then find enclosed transport to bring it home, quoted door to door.
Step 3
Not listed yet? Post what you want.
The Wanted board is where buyers describe the car they are after. Sellers and shops who have one write to you. Add a finder's fee if you want more people looking.
Wanted: 1966 to 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto, red preferred, West Coast, up to $60,000
Private sellers and shops both welcome. Full history a plus. Finder's fee offered.
What we do not do.
We do not hold the money, inspect the car, or guarantee either side. Shops never pay for position. How we make money is written down on the trust page before it starts.
