Take note that it is not enough to just get rid of the debris or dust in your car. You must also be reminded that there are factors that may affect the shipper’s convenience. For instance, there are customers who fill up their cars with gas while forgetting that it is best not to let your vehicle have over a quarter tank of fuel prior to transportation.

There are other things you must keep in mind, such as the following:

Remove Your Valuables From Your Car. It is obvious that you should remove your car’s add-ons prior to its transportation. Don’t forget that even your valuables must be removed as well.

There are customers who sometimes leave some objects in their cars. As a result, their vehicle’s interior gets damaged due to shifts during the moving process.

Secure Your Convertible Car’s Top. It is much easier to move a standard vehicle, but if you have a convertible, you must secure its top properly. It is also necessary to position it upwards. In case there are holes or seams, you must seal these parts beforehand.

By doing so, you will be able to prevent too much humidity from damaging the interior of your car. There are times that you may find it hard to secure the top. As a solution, you must request for an enclosed container shipping instead.

Check for Fluid Leaks. After cleaning your car, you must check if there are visible leaks. In case there are any, it is ideal to fix them right away. If you do not have time, you must inform your auto shipper right away in order to secure your vehicle in a position that will not cause damage to other cars.
Take Down Loose Parts. Your car’s exterior is most vulnerable to damage, which is why you should take down all loose or removable components. If applicable, you should fold your side-view mirrors. Additionally, retract the antennas completely.
Inspect Your Car’s Battery. Before the transportation process, your car’s battery must be charged fully. In addition, it must be secured properly in its installation bracket.

By following the additional tips for preparing your car for moving, you will be able to minimize the risks associated with auto transportation. Moreover, you can easily avoid troublesome insurance issues while also giving your auto shipper an easy time with the whole process.

“I’ve got quite a lot to talk about, so let’s just begin: My brother’s car had to go from Los Angeles to Phoenix, Arizona to my husband who’s a mechanic. It had a lot of problems, and I figured he’d be able to repair it. I called several other companies and their solution was to tow it to a Walmart 3 hours away, so their truck could pick it up. I wasn’t too keen on that, so I finally called Joe. He somehow managed to get a truck 10 minutes away from my home. He even got my car towed to the location. From start to finish, I knew exactly where my car was thanks to Joe’s texts. I’m really happy about that. The driver took no break during the weekend, so it arrived 2 days early. The area I live in had no space for a truck to move trough, so he stopped at a supermarket nearby. The driver waited for me to arrive and stayed with me until a tow truck got there to pick it up. He was real fun to talk to and very nice overall. If I ever need to transport a car ever again, A1 Auto Transport is my first pick. I’m really glad to have found them.”

“I love A1 Auto Transport! Last year, we left Pennsylvania for Hawaii on Vacation. We’re pretty comfortable people, so we found having to take the bus everywhere a huge pain. We wanted to do something different and take our car with us this time around. After a quick web search, we chose A1 Auto Transport as our go to company, a very wise decision if I may say so. They arranged for a truck to come pickup my car and even took care of the sea transport part of the equation. We told Joe when we wanted to go on vacation and for how long, and he planned the transport around it. He had his men pickup the car and send it to the port, from where it travelled by boat to the island. He timed everything just right. We arrived on Monday, and picked up the car on Monday afternoon. It’s safe to say it was the best month of our lives. Thank you A1 for making things so much easier! We returned at the end of summer, and Joe once again pulled through for us and got the car back to Pennsylvania in one piece. It was real simple to use their service and they’re worth every dollar. Highly recommend!”

“I moved to North Carolina recently and moved my family car with A1 Auto Transport. I told Joe he would find me at home after 5 pm and at work before that. I couldn’t afford to skip work to wait for the truck, and Joe was nice enough to work around my schedule. It took 3 days for the car to arrive. It was estimated to get there between 1 pm and 3 pm, and it arrived at around 1:30. Joe called beforehand to confirm I still needed it delivered at the office. I took a half hour break and was glad to see the car was not scratched during transport. Many thanks to the A1 team!”

“At the end of the summer, we spent a few stressful few weeks relocating and settling in Colorado Springs after 8 years of living in Boston. My father was scheduled for another surgery after getting into a serious boating accident. So, my husband and I decided to make the painful decision of moving back to Colorado to take care of him, with two small children and a truckload of household stuff in tow. It was our first time undertaking a major relocation, and we had zero idea on how to go about this whole moving business. We took some friends’ recommendations, and started calling and emailing some companies. Things got more difficult when the company we initially hired to pick up our cars all of a sudden didn’t have a driver after the quote we agreed upon skyrocketed “due to certain unforeseeable market factors”. We couldn’t afford to lose another minute on a phone call to some other mover just to set up another expensive, unpredictable deal. My father was due to go to the hospital in a few days, and school was about to start for the kids. But we had to do it, and you have no idea how grateful we were to have dealt with A1 Auto Transport. After that distressing experience with the first mover, A1 felt heaven-sent. We told them our situation, and thought it was all going to involve another daunting, tedious process. But their people were so incredibly helpful and attentive to details. They went out of their way to make sure our questions were answered and our vehicle arrived promptly, despite some bad weather we were having at the time. Another thing that won us over is how A1 understands almost intuitively the importance of reliability and active, honest communication with their customers, with people like us who lead ordinary, emotionally challenging lives, and value time and hard-earned money. A1 Auto Transport succeeds in truly serving and connecting to their customers in ways no other company would even try. If I have the entire universe to give out millions of stars for, I’d gladly do it and rain them all on A1 Auto Transport. It may just have been another ordinary business day for them, but to my family and I, it made all the difference in the world.”

“Last year I wanted to ship my car to Alaska. I researched several companies online and got more and more discouraged after reading the reviews. It seemed I had to expect the worse, and I was getting a bit paranoid. Thank God I found A1 Auto Transport. Many of its reviews praised the team’s responsiveness and speed. I didn’t want to waste time pointlessly, so this caught my attention. I got quotes from several companies, but went with A1 in the end. It was a pleasure to work with Joe. He kept his word, answered all my questions, got a truck at my door the next day, and updated me on my car’s status throughout the process. He was very professional. Any questions I had, he answered them fully. This really helped clear the fog in my head. The company was attentive to weather and road conditions, so my vehicle arrived in Alaska on time and intact. They had to make a small detour at one point due to an accident up ahead. They informed immediately. Even so, the car still arrived at the expected time.”

Thank God I found A1 Auto Transport.
