GR Auto Gallery touts itself as “the best way to sell a unique vehicle.” Originating in the western Michigan city of Grand Rapids (hence the GR), the dealership was conceived by three enthusiasts with a “strong passion and desire to create a place where anyone can enjoy and experience a wide array of vehicles.”
Today, GR Auto Gallery boasts three other locations (metro Detroit, Traverse City, and Indianapolis), all providing enthusiasts with a strong showroom and Internet presence. You’ll find an eclectic assortment of specialty vehicles — such as a Buick next to a Bristol next to a late-model Bimmer — though most inventory tends to reflect current trends within the collector hobby. Glance at GR’s page on ClassicCars.com and you’ll find (at last count) 477 vehicles listed for consignment or for sale.
If you’re more inclined to sell a vehicle, GR Auto Gallery has created a stress-free consignment process as its team handles the paperwork, marketing, money transfers, appointments, and shipping. Once you bring or ship your vehicle to one of the four showrooms, it receives a professional full-service detailing and photography session. Next, the vehicle is marketed on over 50 major websites (including ClassicCars.com) and, once you decide to accept an offer, GR Auto Gallery will finish the transaction and send you a check. That’s all there is to it!
If you are in the market to buy, GR Auto Gallery offers The Gallery Guarantee on select vehicles purchases. “Buying a vehicle should come with complete peace of mind,” so vehicles receive a service contract that provides coverage for essential components, including the powertrain, drivetrain, transfer case, radiator, water pump, and rear end. Coverage is 3 months/500-3,000 miles (whichever comes first) depending on the vehicle’s age. GR Auto Gallery also offers a “Buy Back Guarantee” — talk with the staff to learn more about this added layer of security.
