Car Bar Atlanta

Car Bar Atlanta is a classic car sales, consignment and service shop at 580 Fort St NE in Marietta, Georgia, just off I-75 northwest of downtown Atlanta. The company calls itself one of Atlanta's premier classic car dealers and says its goal is to make classic cars more accessible by offering expert help at every step of ownership. It does not publish a founding year or the names of its owners.

How the business works

Car Bar Atlanta combines three things under one roof: it sells cars, takes cars on consignment, and runs a service department. Its website says owners can either consign a vehicle or sell it outright to the company. The current inventory is small. When we checked, two cars were listed, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle and a 1987 Buick Regal Grand National Turbo, both priced in the high $30,000s. A small, changing stock is common for consignment-led businesses, so it is worth calling to ask what is coming in.

Consignment terms

The company's consignment page describes a 45-day agreement with no listing fees and no upfront costs. Payment is due only after the vehicle sells, and the company says an owner owes nothing if the car does not find a buyer within the agreed period. The process starts with an online application, followed by an evaluation by the company's team and the signing of a consignment agreement. Before signing anything, read the agreement for the commission, any reconditioning charges and who pays for insurance and storage. Our overview of how classic car consignment works explains what to look for.

Service and repair

The service department is a notable part of the business. Its page lists work on brakes, cooling, heating, air conditioning and fuel systems, along with engine overhauls, powertrain swaps and convertible top repair, including motors, relays and hydraulic lines. It also offers air conditioning updates for modern refrigerant. For buyers, the company says it performs onsite evaluations of a car before purchase. For stalled projects, it describes a three phase plan: make it run, make it safe, make it fun.

Buying and financing

Car Bar Atlanta says it works with third-party lenders to arrange monthly payment financing, and it points buyers to a link on its finance page for details. Its site does not describe shipping, so ask about delivery if you are buying from out of state. Cars from the same inventory also appear on the website of a related brand, Rolling Museums, which uses the same listings. If you are comparing options around the state, you can browse classic cars for sale in Georgia on Classic Cars Arena.

Reputation

We did not find a Better Business Bureau profile for the company. Birdeye shows a 4.8 average from 23 reviews, and the reviews there describe a quick, easy selling experience and a shop that works on older vehicles other garages turned away. As with any review summary, that reflects what customers chose to post, so verify the paperwork and condition of any specific car yourself.

Visiting and contact

The company's site lists Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday by appointment only, and Sunday closed. The address is 580 Fort St NE, Building B, Marietta, Georgia 30060, and the phone number is 678-369-6955. Some third-party listings show a different street address for the company, so confirm by phone before you visit.
