Auto transport services we provide

Open carrier services: Clients under a tight budget can get their cars shipped using open carriers. The carriers come with flatbed racks onto which the cars are loaded and secured using industrial strength skids. The cars are shipped as they are, which means they are slightly exposed to the external environment. They are however, completely safe from damage. Open carriers are also advantageous as they can accommodate different sizes of cars. Read on the other perks of using open carriers here.
Enclosed carrier services: Clients that are concerned about the privacy and safety of their cars have the option of enclosed carriers. These come with an intermodal container that offer extra protection against external elements like pebbles, twigs and adverse weather conditions. Due to the high-cost of hiring an enclosed carrier, we advise clients to use these when shipping high-end cars, as they have more to gain from the privacy and extra protection.

How to prepare your car for shipping

Remove all personal belongings: The Department of Transportation mandates that no carrier should transport any car with household items in it. Additionally, remove all aftermarket installations like DVD players, external speakers and GPS navigation systems to avoid loss or damage.
Wash the car: Washing the car reveals more details of any pre-existing damages. This is important for purposes of filing a car hauler’s inspection report. The report is used to compare the car’s condition after shipping and identifying any damages that the carrier firm is liable for.
Leave about a quarter-full tank of gas: Shipping a car with a full tank of gas is ill advised as the car weighs more. A weightier car means a higher shipping fee. A quarter-full tank of gas is sufficient to cover the loading and offloading during shipping. It is also enough to cover the distance to the nearest gas station for refill.
Run a car maintenance check: A complete car maintenance check involves looking for any fluid leaks and thereafter filling the fluids to their recommended levels. Additionally, check the tire pressure and have the car battery charged if need be.
Take photos: We advise clients to take clear photos of every side of the car. These act as your personal record of the car’s condition prior to shipping. You can compare these with the car hauler’s inspection report.
Disable the car alarm: The car is completely safe onboard our carriers. Disable the car alarm to avoid any inconveniences and battery drain.
Mind the keys: Have a spare set of car keys made for the driver. It’s safer to remain with a set of car keys in case those with the driver get misplaced.

Satisfied Customers

“The plan was to ship my car from California to Utah. I went through nearly 20 quotes after using an auto shipping site which linked to a bunch of brokers. Finally, I found A1 Auto Transport, a company with its own trucks with great reviews. I was sold. Joe was very competent, gave off the impression he’d done this a million times, and it really showed throughout the transport. He listened to my request carefully, offered me several options, stayed in touch during the transport, and made sure I was happy with everything. Overall, a great company which I would definitely recommend to others!”

“A1 Auto is kind of like your favourite mom and pop pizza parlour, the one you can’t get enough of despite all the new, expensive avant-garde pizza shops that have mushroomed conspicuously across the entire neighbourhood and seem to have taken over the whole world...but not you. Because you value quality and genuine customer service, and know this business understands and works doubly hard to give you your money’s worth. I’ve been using A1 Auto Transport whenever I left California for business: they may not be the cheapest car transporters around, but the sheer professionalism, dedication, and heart they put into their work is just amazing and worth my every dime. I’m probably one of the most sceptical people you would ever meet. I’m rarely convinced when bombarded with dubious, self-congratulating ads of companies that look like they’ve spent tons of money on marketing materials just to lure your average guy in. A1 Auto Transport is the complete opposite of these companies. My car always arrived promptly on schedule, never with a hint of scratch or dirt or damage, and they keep me updated every step of the process. When you’ve found a company whose genuine care for their customers comes naturally, you stand by them no matter what. It’s the most logical thing to do.”

“Not too long ago, I’ve shipped a couple cars to California from Maine, and choosing A1 Auto Transport paid off from beginning to end. Of course, I first got a bunch of quotes from different companies. I wanted to make an educated decision, and this led me to A1, having some of the best quotes and reputation of the bunch. Their customer service was impeccable, and Joe’s knowledge of the job showed even through the initial conversations I had with him over the phone. I could reach him at any time during the day. My schedule is a bit troublesome, so I called him at 7 am and 10 pm, yet he still answered in the same polite and professional manner. My cars arrived 2 days earlier. Considering there were 6 others on the truck he picked them up with, that’s really something. There was no damage done to them during transport, though being summer, I guess pebbles and theft are the only concerns in such cases. Thank you Joe for an awesome, stress free experience!”

“Most of the time people take the time to write a complaint letter. I am very happy with your service so far so I thought I would write and tell you. In today's world where mediocre service is the norm your company has proved your commitment to customer service is far above that of your competitors. I have not received my car yet but I felt compelled to write this email and commend A-1 Autotransport for the job well done thus far. Here are some points I would like to make. Your dispatcher Marie Ferguson upgraded my cars transportation, at no extra cost, to an enclosed transporter. My car is a rare SS Camaro Convertible with only 4,000 miles and is perfect in every way. I can't tell you how much I appreciate her concern for my cars safety. When the seller of the car was a little on the uncooperative side your agents offered to pick the car up where it was at the sellers residence. Again at no extra cost to me. The seller of the car called me after the car was picked up and mentioned how professional the driver was and how he moved cars off the transporter to put my car in the best location for it's long ride to Oregon. When I heard that I felt reassured I had chosen the right company to move my car. The system you have to track the progress is really fun. It took me a little while to figure it out but I had a blast watching the progress. Your driver didn't waste any time. The car was picked up in Ft Lauderdale Florida on Tuesday evening and was in Watsonville California Saturday afternoon. Great Job! I thought I might hear from you Sunday to arrange pick up of my car, most likely I hear from you Monday morning. Thank you again for all you folks have done for me. I would be happy to recommend your service to anyone who asks. Best Regards, Brian Hewgill”

“I had a great time transporting my car to California thanks A1 Auto Transport. Joe’s quote was reasonable and his reasoning and explanations were spot on. He couldn’t make it to the pickup, but he did call to make sure things were ok. The driver inspected my car, and I appreciated his professionalism. While it was on its way, Joe regularly sent me updates on its location through text. He estimated it would arrive in 5-6 days, and it was so. I was also given the contact information of my driver, so I could call both him and Joe if I ever felt the need to. My car got to Sacramento, California on the 5th day, and it was great to see it was well. There wasn’t any damage done to it during transit. This fact, Joe’s updates, and the fact that they met their deadline makes me recommend A1 Auto Transport as one of the best auto transport companies out there. It’s the 3rd company I’ve used to move a vehicle, and it will likely also be the 4th.”
