Turn your craft into a fully booked business.
Everything a collector-car specialist needs to build a profile owners trust, price work that sells, and turn first jobs into a steady stream of bookings.
Start here
Two ways to sell your services
Pick the model that fits the work. Many specialists run both — productized gigs for repeatable jobs, a directory listing for bespoke projects.
Book-me-now gigs
Package a service at an upfront price — a paint-correction detail, a pre-purchase inspection, an enclosed transport lane. Buyers see the price, pick a tier, and book in a couple of clicks. Best for repeatable, well-scoped work you can quote without a conversation.
Get listedGet-a-quote listing
List your shop or business in the specialist directory. Owners find you by marque, service, and location, then send an inquiry for a custom quote. Best for bespoke, high-value work — an engine rebuild, collection management, a complex multi-car move — that needs a conversation before a number.

Guides built for your specialism
A detailer, an inspector, and a photographer need different gigs, pricing, and portfolios. Pick your trade for a guide tuned to exactly what wins bookings in it.
Detailing
Paint correction, ceramic coating, show prep, and preserving original finishes.
Inspection
Remote pre-purchase inspections, condition reports, and an honest deal-or-walk verdict.
Transport
Enclosed and open transport, auction pickups, and white-glove single-car delivery.
Photography
Listing photo sets, editorial shoots, provenance documentation, and film.
Mechanical
Recommissioning, tuning, system overhauls, and pre-event mechanical checks.
Restoration
Concours and driver-quality restorations, from nut-and-bolt rebuilds to sympathetic preservation.
Body & Paint
Respray, rust and panel repair, accident work, and period-correct colour matching.
Storage
Climate-controlled storage, maintenance programs, and full collection management.
For Providers
The nine-step playbook
From empty profile to first booking. Work through it in order — each step builds the trust that makes the next one pay off.
Choose your path
Decide how you want to sell before you build anything. Fixed-price gigs win fast, repeatable bookings; a directory listing wins bespoke, high-ticket jobs. Plenty of pros run both — a set of productized gigs for bread-and-butter work, plus a directory profile for full projects.
- Repeatable and easy to price up front → fixed-price gig
- Bespoke, high-value, needs a scoping call → directory business
- A mix of both → set up a gig and claim a directory listing
Create your account & add your credentials
Sign up, then confirm your email and phone — that part is account security, not a rating. Add your business credentials: licenses, insurance, workshop accreditations. Owners can see what you have listed and decide for themselves. We do not hand out a stamp of approval; your standing here is built from reviews by the owners who actually hired you.
- Confirm your email and phone
- Add business license / registration number
- Add your insurance details and any workshop accreditations, so owners can see them
Build a profile that wins trust
Your profile is your storefront. Lead with a sharp, specific tagline, a professional photo or clean logo, and a bio that makes your specialism obvious in the first line. Collectors hire experts, not generalists — so say exactly which marques, eras, and services you are the specialist in.
- Professional headshot or high-resolution logo
- One-line tagline naming your specialism (e.g. 'Air-cooled Porsche paint correction, Los Angeles')
- Bio: years of experience, marque expertise, notable work, service area
- Certifications, insurance, and languages spoken
Add your portfolio — this is non-negotiable
Nothing sells specialist work like proof of specialist work. Upload high-resolution before/after photos and, wherever you can, short video of completed cars. This is the single most powerful thing on your profile — treat a thin portfolio as an unfinished profile.
- Before/after pairs for your best jobs
- Detail shots: paint, panel gaps, engine bay, interior, badges
- Short video walkarounds where possible
- Only your own work, only your own photos
Create your first listing
Give the service a clear, descriptive title, put it in the right category, and tag it with the keywords owners actually search — marque, service, location. A precise title and correct category are how buyers and search engines find you.
- Descriptive title ('Multi-stage paint correction & ceramic coating')
- Correct category: photography, inspection, detailing, storage, transport, mechanical
- Tags/keywords: marques, services, city/region
Set your scope & pricing
For fixed-price gigs, offer up to three tiers so buyers can self-select by budget and ambition — for example Standard, Enhanced, and Concours — each with a price, a turnaround time, and what is included. Add optional extras for the upsells. For a directory business, publish a clear service list and explain how your quote and lead process works.
- Three tiers, each with price, turnaround, and revisions
- Concrete deliverables per tier — no vague 'premium service'
- Add-ons for common upsells (paint sealant, extra detail time, expedited slot)
- Directory listings: publish a service menu and typical price ranges
Set your client requirements
Tell buyers exactly what you need from them before you can start, so jobs land ready to go instead of stalling in back-and-forth. The more precisely you ask, the cleaner every booking arrives.
- Vehicle year, make, model, and VIN/chassis
- Location or collection/drop-off details
- Current condition and any known issues
- Photos of the car and the specific areas of concern
Publish & pass review
Before your listing goes live, it gets a quick quality check for completeness and professionalism. A complete profile, a real portfolio, and clear pricing sail through. Once approved, you are live and discoverable.
- Profile complete, with contact details confirmed
- Portfolio populated with real work
- At least one listing with tiered pricing and requirements
Grow — reviews and response time
Once you are live, momentum compounds. Reply fast, deliver on time, and give us the names of clients who were happy: we email them a one-time link and their review lands on your profile with your reply box under it. You never see the link and you cannot pull the review, which is exactly why it is worth something to the next owner reading it.
- Reply to inquiries within hours, not days
- Deliver on or ahead of the promised turnaround
- Hand us the names of satisfied owners — we do the asking
- Refine your tiers and add-ons as you learn what sells
For Owners Hiring a Pro
How to hire the right specialist
A short guide to finding, briefing, and booking a collector-car pro you can trust with your car.
Two ways to hire
Book a fixed-price gig instantly when the job is well-defined — a detail, an inspection, a transport run. Or contact an owner-reviewed business for a custom quote when the work is bespoke — an engine rebuild, a long-term storage plan, a multi-car move. Fast and fixed, or custom and quoted.
Get started
Creating an account takes a minute, and you never need to pay to browse. Save and shortlist the specialists that catch your eye so you can compare them side by side before you commit.
Find the right specialist
Filter by category, marque, and location, then read the profile properly. Look past the star average to the number of reviews behind it — we do not show an average below three verified reviews at all — and note which quotes are verified clients and which the shop supplied itself. Study the portfolio for cars like yours before you reach out.
Write a good brief
A specialist can only deliver what you describe. Be specific: the vehicle and its condition, the exact outcome you want, your timeline and budget, and your must-haves and must-avoids. A precise brief gets a precise quote — and a better result.
Message before you book
For higher-value or bespoke jobs, message first. Confirm scope, timeline, and that the specialist is genuinely the right fit for your car before you commit a deposit or a booking.
Place an order or request a quote
For a fixed-price gig, pick the tier that fits and you will see a transparent total including fees before you confirm. For bespoke work, send your brief to the business as a lead and they will come back with a custom quote.
Trust & protection
Reviews come from clients we email directly after the work is done, and a shop can reply to one but can never remove it. The directory is young, so many profiles have no verified reviews yet — that is shown plainly rather than papered over. Revisions and dispute handling are there to protect you if a job does not land the way it should.
After the job
If the shop invites you to review them, do it honestly — good or bad. It is the only thing on this site that a business cannot buy, and it is how the next owner decides. Re-book the specialists you trust, and reach out any time you need a hand.
Provider FAQ
Questions specialists ask
Do I need a registered business to list?
You can list as an independent specialist offering fixed-price gigs, or as a registered business in the directory. Either way, a complete profile — real credentials, clear pricing, honest scope — is what wins the first booking. After that it is the reviews from owners who hired you that do the work.
How should I price my services?
For fixed-price gigs, offer up to three tiers — for example Standard, Enhanced, and Concours — each with a clear price, turnaround, and list of what is included, plus optional add-ons for upsells. Most buyers choose the middle tier, so make it the one you most want to sell. For bespoke work, list your services in the directory and quote each job individually.
Why does my portfolio matter so much?
It is the single most powerful thing on your profile. Collectors are trusting you with valuable, often irreplaceable cars, and high-resolution before/after photos and video of your completed work are the proof that you can be trusted with theirs. Treat a thin portfolio as an unfinished profile.
How do I get found by the right owners?
Name your specialism precisely — the marques, eras, and services you are the expert in — in your title, tagline, and tags. Specific beats generic: 'air-cooled Porsche paint correction' gets found where 'car detailing' disappears.
How do I earn a higher ranking and more leads?
Respond quickly, deliver on time, and collect verified reviews. Give us the names of clients who were happy and we email them a one-time review link — at three verified reviews a star rating starts showing on your profile and on your directory card, and at 4.5 and above you pick up the Top-rated badge. Nothing about ranking is for sale.
What information should I ask buyers for before starting?
Set clear client requirements: the vehicle's year, make, model and VIN/chassis, its location, its current condition and any known issues, and photos of the areas of concern. A precise requirements list keeps jobs from stalling and protects your review score.
