Auto Transport Services in Columbia

Columbia, California Professional Auto Transport

In 1850, during the gold rush days, Columbia, California was known as a boomtown due to the rapid growth in population because of gold miners coming to the area to mine gold. Gold was found in the Columbia area and the town soon became known as the Gem of the Southern Mines due to the amount of gold that being mined. Today, Columbia is a very historical town that doesn’t allow automobiles in the downtown area. Instead, you will find horse drawn carriages, walkers, and bicyclers.

There are many historical buildings in town that hold businesses that recreate the days long gone of panning for gold, iron welding, arts and crafts and candle-wicking and crochet. Tourists are able to picnic along the streets and avenues and shop in stores that have heirloom items, specialty shops including an old time candy maker, clothing shops and other retail and gift shops. Residents and tourists also enjoy camping, hiking, swimming, and boating as well as fishing and sports in the recreation areas and parks that outline Columbia.

How to Find a Reliable Auto Transport Company

Trying to find a reliable auto transport company can be a daunting time, especially if you have never used transport services in the past. When you begin looking for the right company for you and your vehicle you need to check with several companies in order to compare prices and see what services each company offers. You will want to check reviews and ratings left by previous clients to see what the performance level of the company has been like in past endeavors with others and check to see how much the insurance coverage offered is for your vehicle during transport.

Try to avoid falling for a company that offers a price lower than what other companies are quoting. There are many fraudulent companies that will offer a low price and will charge a deposit for service, but they may not be able to locate a carrier that can, or will, transport a vehicle for the low price that they have quoted. These deposits are typically non-refundable and you may find that you will lose money when the company does not relocate the vehicle. A great way to find a reliable auto transporter is to ask your own friends or your family members that may have used a transporter for their own vehicle. Social media has great advantages because you can essentially ask over 1000 people all at one time to refer you to a good company.

You also need to check with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to see if the company is registered with the US DOT. Automobile transporters need to be registered and must show compliance with transport rules and regulations. This will usually mean that the company has more modern trucks as well as updated technology that will include satellite or GPS tracking services.
