For a true car enthusiast, no visit to the Valley of the Sun is complete without a trip to the Barrett-Jackson Collection Showroom. Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, the destination serves as an ideal complement to our fast-paced auction environment. The showroom welcomes you to browse the available collector car inventory, purchase Barrett-Jackson gear and check out some of the Collection. If you are local to the area, the showroom is also a great place to have your collector car serviced by highly skilled professional technicians led by an ASE-certified mechanic. The fully equipped shop includes fabrication capabilities in addition to mechanical modifications, repairs and general maintenance. Barrett-Jackson fully stands behind its craftsmanship. All work comes with a warranty.
The location itself is an important part of Barrett-Jackson history. The building was erected in 1971 to house the Max of Switzerland Rolls-Royce dealership. Barrett-Jackson purchased the space in 2000 to house the Barrett-Jackson corporate headquarters. Company matriarch Nellie Jackson would be the first person to greet you as you entered the building. The space was instrumental to the growth of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company, which celebrated its 30th Anniversary at this location in 2001. The company outgrew the facility less than 10 years after purchasing the dealership. In 2007, operations were moved to the current ultra-modern headquarters in North Scottsdale.

Growth and progress are nice, but the building hasn’t lost its charm. In its present layout, you’ll see company heirlooms, such as the old auction podium, which was retired circa 2007. The original façade remains, and the porte-cochère proudly juts toward Scottsdale Road. The walls are covered with articles and autographs. The showroom’s location on the edge of Old Town Scottsdale gives it close proximity to many excellent restaurants as well as prime shopping, Scottsdale’s famed art galleries and the Museum of the West.
If your taste in museums includes dual exhaust, solid lifter cams and the occasional Shaker hood, the Barrett-Jackson Collection Showroom is just the spot. With 15 to 20 cars on hand at any given time, the selection includes more than just muscle machines. Late-model exotics, pickups, hot rods and Resto-Mods are usually on hand. If you are lucky, you might spot vintage Trans Am racers, a Shelby Cobra 427, ultra-rare HEMI cars and some interesting classics, such as a 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Record Cabriolet. As cars from the Collection rotate through the shop for sale and for routine maintenance, you never know what you’ll see.

There is one constant at the Showroom: The team is comprehensively car-obsessed. Some staff members could passionately discuss a particular car’s specs and rarities for hours. The vibe at the showroom is laid back and engaging – you are encouraged to stay a while, take pictures and ask questions. Of course, if a particular car spins your wheels, the staff will be happy to arrange a test drive or pre-purchase inspection. You can even get an on-the-spot quote for Barrett-Jackson Endorsed Insurance.
The Barrett-Jackson Collection Showroom is open year-round to help you pursue your automotive dreams. Feel free to browse the website and call ahead for an appointment ‒ or just stop by.
