Ashford City Car Shipping Company, AL

Car Transport Ashford City Near Me

Ashfordis a small town in Alabama. For many years, it was the primary location for people across the state to access products made from pine sap, including paint, soaps, polishes, and others. These products are resin-based substances known as ‘naval stores’ as they were used for wooden boats, which were often built by or used by the U.S. Navy.

Fewer than 3000 people are living in Ashford. While cotton and pulpwood farming was a staple career choice for local families for many years, today, many find work in local schools, medical facilities, and other industrial centers located on the outskirts of town. However, there are still others who own land and continue to farm. New residents can enjoy the fact that Ashford is a town with a low crime rate, and this can be attested to by the fact that the local police department only has four full-time officers working in the area.

The town is small and only encompasses 6.1 square miles, and while this may not seem very large to some, it can be challenging to travel to the grocery store or work when there is no local public transportation system. If you plan to go shopping, get to work, or travel to nearby cities for recreation or other opportunities, having a personal car to get around is a good idea.

A-1 Auto Transport is a dedicated 5-star motorcar auto hauling company offering affordable services to visitors and residents by shipping cars to or from Ashford City.

Areas we cover

A-1 Auto Transport stays true to its mantra for ‘safe and reliable auto shipping’ by offering car shipping services that are customized to your specific automobile and your moving needs. We have invested plenty of time and resources in becoming familiar with the Ashford. This involves taking time to map out the road networks throughout Ashford, right down to even the most remote streets in the area. We also get to know the specific social and economic activities practiced most by residents of the region, so we know when local events and other annual activities are held that can alter the usual flow of traffic locally. Local events, including parades or annual care shows, often call for heavier motorcar shipping services than other times of the year, and area factories and other businesses usually have boosts in sales or services that require freight shipments; we are always prepared for those changes so that we can ensure reliable services to our customers. For instance, naval store facilities in the region call for heavy freight services, while the local farms call for heavy equipment shipping services during harvest time in the summer and fall or when planting begins in the spring.

Residents, as well as guests visiting Ashford, get to enjoy professional and timely deliveries when shipping cars to or from Ashford, right to their exact locations. Apart from delivering vehicles to places in the city's heart, we also stretch our reach to the nearest towns within a 4-mile radius. They include Avon, Dothan, Cowarts, Columbia, Webb, Kinsey, Gordon, and Cottonwood.

Auto transport services we provide

• Interstate car towing: We are the best firm for the job if you need to transport your auto from another state to Ashford City. Our unique strategy, efficient route mapping, enables us to identify the shortest routes between Ashford and the other involved locations. This strategy allows us to haul vehicles across any direction within the mainland US. For instance, we use Highway 84, which cuts across the city, to haul motorcars between Ashford and any other city in Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. Since some interstate car carrier jobs may take a couple of days, depending on the distance covered, we offer GPS tracking services for your shipment on the house.
• Heavy equipment shipping: Imagine buying a brand new tractor, harvester, or combine from an auto shop in the city. It surely would be absurd to drive it across the streets to your farm, even if the farm was just a couple of miles away. A-1 Auto Transport is the firm that provides transportation services for such equipment, new or old, to any farm near Ashford.

Types Of Autos We Dispatch

Cars come in different sizes and functionalities. Over the last two and a half decades, A-1 Auto Transport has handled different automobile makes and models. We know which techniques work for which automotive and which ones don’t. We move SUVs, sedans, Recreational Vehicles, motorhomes, vans, motorcycles, golf carts, ATVs, heavy equipment such as bulldozers, and trucks of all shapes and sizes. We also ship boats of all sizes, including dinghies, canoes, water rafts, speed boats, and even yachts.

Modes Of Interstate Transport That Suit Every Vehicle

Cars can be shipped with various open and enclosed modes of transport.

Open Carrier- An open carrier is ideal for any car you drive frequently. Open carriers are built as single levels carrying one or two automobiles or double levels carrying up to eight or more cars simultaneously. The more motorcars on the load, the less the cost may be for each customer as moving is based partially on fuel cost, and when you have more automobiles, that cost will dip a little per person. With open carriers, motorcars are fully exposed to weather, hail, insects and birds, and road debris. Unless you own a car that is usually garaged and extremely expensive or rare, your vehicle should be acceptable on the carrier.

Enclosed Carrier- For those motorcars that are considered rare, high-end, vintage, classic, exotic, or otherwise far too expensive or fragile to travel on a carrier that will expose them to damage-causing elements potentially, we offer secure enclosed carrier services where every automobile is sealed inside a fully enclosed trailer. These enclosed trailers will cost more than open carriers and there are a few logical reasons why. These include:

• Enclosed carriers are more expensive to manufacture than open carriers, thus making them more costly for transporters to purchase.
• There are fewer enclosed carriers available because most haulers want to haul as many motorcars as possible at one time, and fewer can be hauled with enclosed services.
• With enclosed service, customers can have a guaranteed delivery option, whereas open transport seldom offers guaranteed delivery dates.
• Enclosed services are far more secure than open services.
• Enclosed trailers are available for vehicles, and customers can also leave personal items inside the car, which they cannot do when they use open moving services.

Enclosed transport is available to and from Ashford for all types of automobiles, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, ATVs, boats, and more.

More Ways To Move A Vehicle!

• Railway Shipping- For many years now, railway shipping has offered a lower cost of shipping a car. Many motorcar dealerships and manufacturers utilize train service to move large shipments nationwide. It’s good to check with your shipping agent to ensure room for your automobile on the train, as they tend to fill up quickly. You can choose from open or enclosed train cars to ship your vehicle on the railway.
• Air Freight Shipments- The fastest, most secure way to ship a motor vehicle is to ship with air freight. This is also the most expensive way to ship a motorcar and is usually reserved only for costly cars that must be delivered quickly. If the cost to transport your automobile is going to be more than the value of your vehicle, it is best to ship with a ground hauling option rather than with air shipment.

How To Prepare Your Automobile For Transport

Before any motorcar can be transported, specific measures must be taken to ensure both the safety of the vehicle and to protect the client's interests. The following are the measures taken to prepare any car for shipping:

• Remove all personal items from the automobile, including detachable GPS systems, DVD players, and external speakers.
• Clean both the interior and exterior of the vehicle.
• Run a thorough maintenance check on the vehicle.
• Turn off the car alarm.
• Locate your spare key and have one made in case it’s lost.
