Areas we cover within Corte Madera

The diverse profile of Corte Madera calls for a carrier firm that is familiar with the San Francisco Bay Area. A-1 Auto Transport is licensed and registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) as a carrier firm. Carrier firms are those that have the resources to perform car shipping. Our daily operations involve picking up or dropping off cars to or from a client’s home address, business address or a terminal in their locale.

Years of such operations when serving Corte Madera have seen us get familiar with the region’s profile. We know the location of all communities and streets, as well as the roads leading to each of them. This way, clients are guaranteed timely deliveries across every location when shipping cars to or from Corte Madera.

Auto transport services we provide

• Door to door service: We also call this home delivery, where take the initiative of picking the car up from its location and shipping it straight to the requested address. Door to door service eliminates the need for the client to make unnecessary trips to a transport depot when bringing the car to us or picking it up after delivery. There’s no limit to the scope of this service, making it particularly advantageous when shipping cars across different states. Additionally, this service proves to be convenient as one driver oversees the entire shipping process from start to finish. The troubles of coordinating between two different carrier firms is greatly minimized.
• Terminal delivery: Home delivery can sometimes get expensive. Terminal delivery is the more affordable alternative. When planning the car shipping job, we triangulate the closest car depot or secure parking lot from the client’s location or the destination. These act as safe terminals to where we can drop the car off for the client to pick up later. We also consider the proximity of the terminal to a gas station, as we ship cars with just a quarter-full tank of gas. We advise clients to inquire the parking rates charged by the preferred terminal for purposes of accurate budgeting.
• Multi-car shipping: One would think that it takes twice as many resources to ship two cars. There however, exists a loophole. Open carriers are long hauls that come with flatbed racks. A single decked open carrier moves about 4 cars while a double-decked one carries 6 to 8 cars. The resource sharing advantage created lowers the overall price of the multi-car shipping, as the client only pays for the hiring costs of one carrier. Car dealers, motor show organizers and private clients are all legible for this service.

Types of cars we ship

A-1 Auto Transport ships sedans, SUVs, trucks, vans, motorcycles, RVs and motorhomes, high-end cars, electric & hybrid cars, salvaged cars and inoperable vehicles.

How to prepare your car for shipping

• Remove all personal belongings including any aftermarket installations such as external speakers and DVD players.
• Have the car washed prior to the day of shipping.
• Have a set of spare car keys made for the driver.
• Perform a car maintenance check to ensure all fluids are filled to their recommended levels, there are no leaks and the tires have enough pressure.
• Leave about a quarter-full tank of gas.
• Take clear photos of every side of the car and keep them as a record of the car’s condition before shipping.
