I was recently at Motorcar Classics acting as an agent/hauler for a buyer in Texas who is a longtime friend and muscle car enthusiast like myself. It was a great experience start to finish.I was greeted warmly upon arrival by Mr. Craig Balaban, who invited me into the showroom and showed me around before even going to his office to start his day. Polite and professional, Craig is not just a salesman but a man who is passionate about these cars. The dealership is spotless throughout including the shop/ storage area which is massive by the way. I was introduced to the head technician Anthony and his associates Danny and John. All friendly and very helpful with my inspection and test drive of the car being purchased. Later in the day as the deal was being finalized, the owner, Mr. Will Branston sought me out to make sure everything was going well. He politely suffered through a few stories of my youthful automotive exploits. I would describe him as down-to-earth for a person of his stature. The man runs a tight ship here. You only have to look around some to see it.Once the deal was done and the car loaded and ready to roll, Mr. Balaban came out to wish me a safe trip and even printed a map for me detailing the best route out of Long Island and back towards Texas. It proved very helpful as I was totally unfamiliar with the area.Although I had no real stake in the car being bought, I happen to know the buyer is satisfied and I would recommend Motorcar Classics to anyone looking to buy or sell their special interest vehicle.

Motorcar Classics is one of the best in the business. Their service and attention to customer needs is impeccable. The customer experience from looking for a car to purchase to making repairs and fixes was outstanding. Reid is easy to work with and very smart. Anthony is a great mechanic and extremely helpful. In a business known for some difficult actors, these guys are top notch and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone.

Reid was amazing when I purchased my vehicle. He is very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. I will definitely get another vehicle from this place in the future. I have never wrote a review on any website in my life and this is my first review online. I would highly recommend Motorcar Classics to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. Thank you Reid!

First class operation. I had four really nice cars for sale. I consigned them to Motorcar Classics. Reid did a great job helping with transportation, marketing, final sales and money transfer. Easy and efficient. Great team!

I have been having Motorcar Classics sell several of my cars over the past year and they have been great to work with! Craig & Reid have been most professional, understand the classic car market and provide great service to both seller and buyer! I’ve been particularly impressed by the attentiveness and communication throughout the process! They are a top-notch firm to be trusted!

If you want to sell a car make sure to contact Reid and his staff at MCC.I have consigned turbo Porsche cars and Mercedes AMG vehicles with great success; all have sold for fair market value and all facets of the transactions were handled by MCC perfectly.They are a wealth of automotive knowledge at your disposal and helped me purchase cars with ease. I recommend working with them and their repair shop as well.

What an excellent experience. Reid Branston was excellent and communications through the whole process was great. The car was exactly as discussed and advertised. Shipping was taken car of by Motorcar Classics and the car was delivered exactly at the time discussed. I will go to them for my next purchase and highly recommend them.

Bought myself a beautiful car from Motorcar. Craig, the salesman couldn’t have been more helpful with the transaction. He was such a gentleman and there was no typical car salesman pressure to buy the car.Matt, the service manager was fantastic to help correct a minor issue with the car. All together, a great experience from Motorcar Classics.

First became aware of Motorcarclassics because it was next to where I take my son for music class every Saturday.About a year later I had a car that significantly increased in value so I decided to limit the miles I put on it but still use it often.I had began the process of remodeling my house and garage so they were the first place I thought of to store the vehicle.Through the entire process from inquiry, storage agreement and now storage and pickup they have been the best.My vehicle is by no means out of place or even close to the cheapest they have there but walking in seeing cars in the showroom worth $1-5 million dollars is a bit intimidating, however every single person I've dealt with is so helpful, professional and down to earth it makes the experience great.Most importantly they are the best at what they do, and I couldn't be more pleased.They also have an amazing selection of cars for sale in sometimes almost astonishing condition so I'm sure it'll be a matter of time before I buy something there as well.Thanks Reid, Joe, Craig and Dan, bunch of real knowledgeable, cool car guys who do an outstanding job.

Craig was great to deal with in the purchase of my c10. Without seeing the vehicle in person, Craig did everything in his power to make me comfortable in the purchase! Would not hesitate to do business with Craig and Motorcar Classics again!

We were searching for a super car and found one from Motorcar Classics online. Was hesitant to buy out of state so Called and spoke to Joe and he was very accommodating to our needs. Took a trip from Philadelphia up to Long Island to their facility and was blown away with the amazing facility and inventory. We checked out the car we were interested in and when Joe cold started it in the warehouse it shook the whole building. We then knew it was the right vehicle. Not to mention the color stuck out like a purple thumb. Completed all the paperwork and a few weeks later the car showed up at our facility. We really appreciate the time and service Joe and his team put in for us. Would certainly do business with again and have recommend them to a few of our customers. Thank you for our R8.

Craig helped my dad sell his treasured 1963 Corvette split window. Craig was straight up and honest from the outset and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Not only did he get us a great price, but he made sure that the car went to someone that would enjoy and appreciate such a great example of a classic American car. A great guy and a great place - we'll definitely work with them in the future.

I personally had dealings with Reid. You will not find a more professional and courteous establishment. The place is like a museum. Immaculate isnt even enough to describe the office and showroom. The quality of cars is simply amazing. If you see something you like, dont hesitate to take the next step. You wont be dissatisfied.
Brad T.
Just a quick note of thanks. Every time I shift through the 6 speeds or exit a corner I have a greater sense of appreciation for my 2013 Porsche Boxster. You spent a considerable amount of time and were very patient with me during the buying process. I realize it was a small sale for Motorcar Classics but I felt as if I were buying a Carrera GT from you. There were no surprises, the delivery you arranged was smooth and I just love this car! Can’t recommend you enough and hope to purchase another vehicle from you in the future.
Joe C.
WOW!! The service from Reid was great! He was very helpful through the whole process and even went out of his way to drop off the truck I bought from him to a locale shop that installed a stereo system for me. He made sure his mechanics at his place did a full inspection top to bottom to make sure all was good on the truck and if they found anything wrong they fixed it with no questions asked before it was sent to me. I would defiantly buy another car from Reid. Thank you for the great service!

Purchased 1988 BMW M6 and experience was great. Even after sale, drove car home and had an issue. They sent a tow truck to bring back to their shop and repaired issues at their own expense.Pretty classy!Car is all that was marketed as and very happy driving it. Always recommend them.

Go see Craig B. I promise you, he will help you find your dream car. I was looking for a Mercedes380SL. I heard Motorcar Classics had one. No….they had several! All were in excellent condition, low miles, fairly priced. Hard to pick just one. But, I did. I’ve had it for a couple of months now, and just love it. We couldn’t believe what a large and beautiful collection of cars were available at MCC. Pick them for selection, service, and friendly, competent, caring staff. Total 5 star!
Christopher L.
This is a special place. You’ll find your dream car here and if you’re lucky enough to buy it, they’ll make the process seamless, expedited and fair. While you wait you can see a mind blowing array of some of the most incredible cars you’ll ever see in one place. Special shout out to Joe who made the experience effortless and helped us every step of the way, and finally Kevin who got us behind the wheel faster than our new car. 10/10 recommend.

Sold my car through this outstanding business operation. Too many nice things to type in this space about Craig and Wil (plus the entire team at MCC), but above all they made the process an enjoyable one, with no friction whatsoever. The professionalism and courteous manner in which they operate was refreshing.

At this point it doesn’t matter the kind of experience I had I respect the fact that the owner reached out to me respectfully n clarified a few things about the business
Richard B.
I reached out to Craig Balaban at Motorcar Classics about selling my classic BMW E28. When I decided to sell myself privately, Craig still spent time on the phone with me and emailed his tips to me to sell which was very helpful. Definitely above and beyond. A breath of fresh air. Recommended.
