Who Are We?

The Enthusiast Garage was started in 2016 by die–hard enthusiast and journalist Tim Neely with a burning passion for cars, and decades of experience collecting, buying, preparing, representing, and selling all eras of sports and performance cars.

A talented team of enthusiasts who can prepare, enhance, film and represent your vehicle or collection in the best possible light.

The same care, knowledge, and curation given to Tim’s personal collection, given to each car, each client.

While we specialize in European and Vice Era collector cars but have sold, represented, and curated blue chip collectibles from the 1930s to Present

Our Mission

Sell your car for the most money to the right buyer, simple as that. We represent your vehicle to a large network of qualified buyers before any auction event, placing your car in front of the right eyes at the right time. This includes top online auction platforms like Bring a Trailer, Hagerty, P Car Market, Cars and Bids, and others, as well as premier in-person auctions such as Mecum, RM Sotheby’s, Manheim Highline, Russo and Steele, and more.

Vehicles can also be offered directly to our private Enthusiast Elite Group, depending on what best fits your timeline, pricing goals, and placement needs. We also provide acquisition services. When you are looking to add to your collection, our goal is to find the best and most valuable car for your specific needs.

We pride ourselves on full disclosure and 100 percent transparency. All contracts for sale, commissions, and fees are clear and concise. Every vehicle is represented honestly with no games. Anything we know about a car is shared with both buyer and seller. This includes extensive research, access to manufacturer internal records, Carfax reports, paint meter readings, undercarriage imaging, dry ice blasting, paint correction, secure storage during the selling process, title assistance, and any other services applicable to the vehicle.
