Intro – who we’re looking for
We’re looking for real garages, builders, shop owners, painters, tuners, and serious home builders whose stories deserve the spotlight. If you’re putting in the hours, taking real risks, and building something with your name on it, Straight Out the Garage wants to hear from you. This is your chance to get your work and your story in front of a wider audience.
What makes a good fit
We’re especially interested in:
• Active shops and garages with 1–3 strong builds in progress
• Unique stories, backgrounds, or lanes in the car world
• Car clubs with standout members or signature builds
• Builders who aren’t afraid to be honest about the grind, not just the glory
Your garage doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be real. Projects in progress, long-term builds, and comeback stories are all welcome.
What to send
When you submit, be ready to share:
• Your name, shop/garage name, and city
• A short description of your build(s) and what makes them special
• A few clear photos of the garage and cars (outside and inside)
• Any links to your social media or website
A quick note about your story: how you got into this, what you’re chasing, and what this feature would mean to you
You can drop all of this into the form on this page. If the fit is right, someone from our team will reach out with next steps.
What happens if you’re selected
If you’re selected, we’ll work with you on scheduling, releases, and what a shoot in your space would look like. Our goal is to document your world with respect—highlighting your craft, your people, and your lane in the scene.
