How Fully Sorted Works

Find the specialists who keep your car running, then buy, sell and research it in one place.

Fully Sorted is a collector car services hub first: an owner-reviewed directory of the people who do the work. Alongside it sits a marketplace with flat listing fees, where every car says whether a private owner or a dealer is selling it, and a research center built on real sold prices.

Know before the wire goes: real comps, owner-reviewed specialists, and a deal you own end to end.

For Owners

Getting work done on your car

Inspection, transport, mechanical, body and paint, restoration, detailing, storage, and photography: the specialists collectors actually use, rated by the owners who hired them.

1

Tell us what the car needs

Search by what you need (pre-purchase inspection, ceramic coating, enclosed transport, a marque specialist), or check back for fixed-price gigs with upfront pricing once they open.

2

Read the owner record

Every provider profile carries reviews and comments from the owners who actually hired them, plus an engagement level earned through real work on the platform.

3

Request a quote or book a gig

Message a shop or specialist directly for custom work, or book a fixed-price gig when you already know what you need. You talk to the person doing the work.

4

Leave your own review

When the job's done, your review becomes part of the record the next owner reads. That's how the directory gets better: collectively, in the open.

Photos of your work, your specialties, your pricing tier. The profile is yours to keep current.

Get found by owners who care

Collectors searching for detailers, inspectors, mechanics, restorers, and transporters find you, ranked by the work you've done and the owners who vouch for it.

For Sellers

Selling a car on Fully Sorted

1

List your car

Upload photos, fill in the basics (year, make, model, mileage, VIN), and tell the story of your car. It takes about 10 minutes.

2

You write the listing

You write the description; we give you a structure that works and examples of what collectors actually read. Review, edit, and publish whenever you're ready.

3

Real buyers see it

Your listing goes live on the Fully Sorted marketplace, the daily browse feed, and is indexed for search. What you pay is what you saw before you clicked.

4

You own the deal

Buyers message and make offers directly. You decide who to respond to and how to structure the sale, and you close it on your own terms.

For Buyers

Finding your next car

1

Browse honest listings

Filter by era, category, price, and location. Every listing shows real photos, VIN, mileage, and, where available, comparable recent sale prices.

2

Check the comps

Work from real sold prices, not ask prices. Our model histories carry a market snapshot wherever we have enough recorded sales to say something honest.

3

Message the seller

Ask questions, request more photos, set up an inspection. All communication happens directly between you and the owner.

4

Close the deal your way

Bank transfer, escrow service, cashier's check: whatever you agree on. Fully Sorted is the introduction; you run the transaction.

Research

Knowing the car before you buy it

The same data sits under every listing and every quote, so nobody in the transaction is guessing.

1

Read the model histories

History, specs, production numbers and known trouble spots, model by model, with sources cited so you can check the work yourself.

2

Decode a VIN, compare two cars

Decode any 1981-or-newer VIN for factory specs and open recalls, or put two models head to head on rarity, value and running costs.

Simple Pricing

One-time listing fee. Straightforward pricing.

Standard $9.99, Featured $29.99, Premium $49.99: all one-time, paid up front. The first 100 sellers list free as founding members.
