The Depot Motorworks · Club Membership
By Enthusiasts, For Enthusiasts.
The Depot is being built as a home base for people who enjoy cars—not only when something needs repair. Membership connects you to the clubhouse, detail bay, workspace, priority service scheduling, member events, and the community growing around it.
Standard membership: $250 annually · Founding 50: $300 for the first year · Enrollment is not yet open
More Than a Repair Shop
Make The Depot your automotive home.
Practical benefits. A comfortable space. A community worth joining.
Membership is being designed around practical benefits, a comfortable physical space, and the enthusiast community surrounding The Depot. The goal is not a coupon book. It is a place and a network that become genuinely useful throughout the year.
Why Membership?
More value from ownership. Better access. A place to belong.
