Rod's Hotrods Customs and Sales

Rod's Hotrods Customs and Sales is a collector car dealer in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, founded by Rod Deschner, who says he has more than 30 years of experience buying and selling cars. The business opened in May 2021 and bills itself as "Western Canada's Premier Collector Car showroom," which is the company's own description.

How the business works

Rod's Hotrods is a dealer first. The company says it buys, restores and sells cars, and it also takes vehicles on consignment. It runs a service department for classic car repairs and a separate golf cart line called Rod's Custom Carts. By its own account it has expanded three times since opening, adding a second showroom, a service area and golf cart inventory in a building called The Alley Shop across the street from the main showroom. That mix of sales, service and a buying program means the shop can handle a car from purchase through repair, which is worth asking about if you want work done after you buy. The company says it buys and sells cars all over the world, and the owner's long background in the trade is the main history the business publishes.

What Rod's sells

The stated focus is classic cars, antiques, American muscle, hot rods and sports cars, from award-winning builds to driver-quality cruisers. A company description puts the stock at more than 90 vehicles, though the count changes as cars sell. The cars also appear on Canadian listing sites such as Autotrader.ca.

Buying and delivery

Rod's says it delivers locally around Saskatoon, runs its own transport across Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba, and arranges national and international shipping through transport companies. It reports having shipped a car to the Netherlands. The pages we saw did not describe financing or third-party inspections, so ask about those directly. Before you pay for a car you have not seen in person, ask for detailed photos, a video walkaround and the title paperwork.

Selling or consigning

The company says it is actively looking for cars to buy and also works on consignment. If you are weighing the options, how classic car consignment works explains typical fees and terms. Ask Rod's for its commission, how long a contract runs and who covers insurance while the car sits in the showroom.

Reputation

On the Birdeye review platform the business shows 4.4 stars from 42 reviews.
