Croc Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I can tell you who not to use - Reliable definitely was not reliable! Hopefully someone else here has had better experiences with a carrier. What did you buy? :hat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmustang Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Enclosed: Thomas Sunday Auto Transport Horseless Carriage Auto Transport Intercity Auto Transport Open: DAS- Dependable Auto Shippers I only use companies that own their own equipment, I do not recommend, or use a broker of any kind as you never know who will show up for the car.

centerfireman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I had excellent luck with Intercity (PA to CA). It was about 30-40% more for enclosed transport (and worth it to me). HIGHLY recommend Intercity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim F. Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I recently had a car shipped to me in Grants Pass, OR from McVeytown, PA with Thomas Sunday (Thomas Sunday). My first choice (by recommendation) was Straight Roads (Gary Straight) but wound up using Thomas Sunday by default. Fully enclosed dedicated car transporter, door to door delivery (if space available at drop-off point), fully insured and bonded. Great people, terrific caring driver.......Great experience and will use either Straight Roads or Thomas Sunday again if the need should arise again in the future. Sunday and Straight work together and whoever has space available first will be happy to have your business. Due to timing and weather issues you need to be patient as carriers can't make a light-load trip cross country unless you have the deep enough pockets necessary to afford the transport without a full load. Short distance would probably be fine with an open trailer, but this time of year with the national weather as it is and the time/distance involved (and the value of the auto being transported) I wouldn't consider anything other than fully enclosed. My car arrived in perfect condition and was covered in the transporter as it was on the "ground floor" with another car right above it. Believe me, they do take care of your "baby".

mca Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I can highly recommend Straight Roads (Gary Straight). He transported my Locost 7 from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. He came highly recommended bhy multiple Seven owners and was almost my cheapest quote. I did have to wait for a couple more cars to sign on (1 week extra in total) but it was well worth the wait. It was comforting to see that my car was the lowest valued in the transporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xflow7 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Passport Transport, no hesitation, several happy experiences with x-country deliveries. I'll second Ian. Passport moved my car from Michigan to New York and I was very happy with them. The driver was very patient and good-natured in the face of some navigational miscues regarding bridge clearances on the way to our agreed drop-off location.

lucky dawg Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Where in the Northwest? Are we getting another 7 driver up here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FE07 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I used Horseless Carriage to move my FE from Oakland to Baltimore. I'd recommend them highly. They'll give you contact info for the driver so you can check progress. The key is to call around and see if someone already has some cars in somewhat the same locations. If so. you can save a lot of money. I don't recommend a broker or open transport (certainly not this time of year) Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robolt Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I have used Intercity three times over the years, was happy with the service. The last shipment was 3 from east coast to west coast. ...robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1234 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I used Bears Transport to get my Birkin from WA to NJ. They were quick, professional and offered one of the better prices. 847-810-7641. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
