I have a auto repair business. Have been in business for over 20 yrs. Looking to reach hot rod, street rod, antique and classic cars to let them know what my business has to offer.

Go where they are.
Make up a nice printed piece and take it to cruise-ins/car shows/club events.
Also see if any local car clubs sell ad space in their newsletters or allow local vendors to co-sponsor events with them.

Of course there is "Hot Rod" magazines, but I would go with both Old Cars newspaper which is a standard of the antique car hobby, and also Hemmings Motor News, which is pretty much the "Bible" of antique and collector cars. Their rates are usually reasonable and they reach audiences that are only interested in old cars. Both can be found on the internet at: www.hemmings.com and also Old Cars Newspaper at:
www.oldcars.com I subscribed to Old Cars for years when I was interested in such and loved it. Friend of mine has copies going back into the late 60's and amazing to find such stuff as Shelby's advertised for 2000 bucks, etc. Of course that is no longer the case or I'd be on a plane tomorrow. hahaha

Put an ad. in Hemmings Motor News, -- They deal with antique and collectable autos nation wide. And there are some hotrods there too. Buy one (and read), - available at your local "book store" Find in auto magazines, has brown paper cover (like old paper bags were).. Costs me around $6 at "Hasings" (book store) here! Some of the big "chain grocery stores" have it in their magazine section (wal mart too)!

find industry magazines that you can advertise. even better would be to find online forums that those guys frequent and become a member and talk with them and advertinse with banners on the site. a third place would be like auto trader magazine and things like those because some of those guys like to search those for goods projects to restore. Best bet i think would be finding forums and online car clubs to join to spread your word.

Might have had more regional magazines if you had told where your shop was located, but I use these in my Hot Rod work.

Mail them your business profile or visit them in person.
