Auto transport company?
« on: July 29, 2012, 01:50:02 »
I need to find a reputable company to send a car to my son.  I am in Butler Pa and my son is at Camp Pendleton Ca.  If anyone has had good luck with shipping could you give me the company name?  The car is like new with all service records.  Sorry its not a Mercedes.
Thanks
Brad

I have used Dependable Auto Shippers three times to ship vehicles from California, Washington State and Florida to Michigan and was very happy with the price, communication and overall service. They damaged one of the vehicles and paid the estimate for repair with no issues. http://www.dasautoshippers.com/. Do not use Able Auto Shippers as they will offer you a good price and when you take the bait, they place your contract on a website and you wait for an independent broker to accept the terms of their contract. DAS has their own trucks and if they tell you it will leave in 1 week, it does. Able jerked a friend of mine around for 6 weeks and would never tell them when the vehicle was going to be shipped.

Brad,
I have used this broker twice and was very satisfied with the service:

Ask for Tiffany.

Lots of information on the sight, use the search to find it all. I also used Reliable transport brokers, with Tiffany, when I brought my 280 SL out to SoCal from Ohio.

Ditto on reliable transport brokers and Tiffany, very satisfied CT to CA. The company she used had the best price and did a good job. Coast to coast enclosed but I think she had open transports that were less expensive.
