Shipping to Haines

Shipping a vehicle to Haines will take a little more preparation that if you were shipping just across town. Use these tips from A-1 Auto Transport to have your car ready to go when shipping day arrives:

When shipping a vehicle from the continental United States, you need to provide the transporter proof of vehicle ownership. They will usually need to see your original vehicle title and registration as well as your personal photo identification.
Your car shipper will most likely handle the details of moving your car from the shipping port to your new location in Haines but you should be aware that when shipping a vehicle to Alaska there are two main shipping ports and the car will be moved by more than one company during the process.
If you are making a complete relocation you may want to consider hiring an all-in-one moving company that can handle your home furnishings as well as your automobile. This can save you time as well as money in the long-run.
Your car needs to be fully prepared for Alaska car shipping by making sure it is clean inside and out and has no personal content left inside. You will also need to remove items from the outside of the car that may fall off during transport including ground effect lighting, rear spoilers, luggage racks and other loose accessories.
Your gasoline should be lowered to around a quarter tank and with the temperature differences from extremely cold to even hot, the antifreeze should be filled to help prevent the engine from freezing or overheating.

Satisfied Customers

“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.

“Dear Tracey, I'd like to tell you how impressed I am with my interaction with Teresa. What could have meant rescheduling of travel plans was averted by her. She basically jumped through hoops to ensure that one of our corporate cards would be picked up tomorrow. She is certainly an asset to your corporation. Sincerely yours, Catherine Sullivan”

“Before I agree to any terms and conditions, I do a little research about a company. I learned that A1 Auto Transport has been suggested even by my closest friends. I tried to send them a text message as a start and received a timely response. The entire process was a breeze. My car arrived in Maine in less than a week. I was amazed they had so many options to reach out to customers. All my requests were noted, and they reminded me of the status of my shipment. It may sound crazy, but it felt nice there is a company that would make you feel important even if you’re new at this kind of thing. Good job guys!”

“Mark, Thanks for your prompt reply and for the opportunity to present feedback. Lessons learned can be a powerfull tool when used correctly and judiciously. After purchasing my vehicle on Ebay, I Googled "auto transport" and began to look at several different choices. This is where my comments on A-1 begin: Webpage - 5 Star Rating - Your page was straight forward and simple to use. I was able to read customer comments (which is important to most consumers) and I was able to request an online quote. (not a feature offered by everyone) Quote - 5 Star Rating - Kudos to whoever is involved in developing your pricing structure. Very competitive. With three children in university at the same time, and an exwife with a good attorney, I have to be financially prudent. This was the largest single factor for my decision, followed closely by your customer feedback. Customer Service / Contracting & Payment - 5 Star Rating - Once I had determined to accept your offer, I decided to do it by phone. The process was quick, courteous, and professional. This was done on 03/04. Tracking # and GPS - 5 Star rating - Shortly after contracting and paying I received my tracking #. What a great use of leading edge technology. Very powerfull tool. (I am sure that this has helped cut down on the number of "nuisance" calls that you receive) Customer Service / Questions & Updates - 1 Star Rating - I am by nature a patient person, and am more than cognizant of outside influences on "schedule slip", so when it was determined that it would take longer than the original estimate of 10 - 14 days, I was not worried or upset. I had done my homework, had contracted a reputable company, and simply accepted the fact that it would take longer, no big deal. The ETD listed on the tracking page was 03/28. Early ( I am usually in the office by 05:30) that morning I could see that my vehicle was in Baytown, Tx., which is a suburb of Houston, Southeast of my home by approximately 20 miles. I knew that the tracking page noted that I would be notified 12 - 24 hours in advance of delivery. My problem was that I had scheduled meetings for most of the day and simply wanted to find out if I could get a bit more precise estimate of delivery time. I phoned that morning and the operator was quite courteous, but informed me "due to the high volume of calls, all customer service reps were busy", could I please call back. I called back a couple of hours later and was informed that "due to the high volume of calls, all customer service reps are busy", could I please call back in the afternoon. That afternoon, I called on two different occasions, with the same response (very polite), and on the last call was asked if I could call back in the morning. A little frustrating, but not the end of the world. We are now past the extended ETD. The next morning (03/29 - my vehicle had moved to the very edge of the city and very close to my office) I called and was informed that "due to the high volume''''''...). I told the operator that I would really prefer to just be put on hold and I would wait my turn, and she politely agreed to do so. During the next 30 minutes, she came back twice to politely check on me, which I found reassuring. I was feeling good about getting through right up to the point of being cut off. After being on hold for that length of time, no one wants to be cut off. Now I am a little frustrated. At this point I went online and sent a polite email to customer service, explaining my situation and frustration. The page noted that my mail would be answered within four hours, and by then it was lunch time, so I really thought I would not see my car on 03/29 either, if the 12-24 rule really applied. Customer Service / E-mail - 5 Star Rating - In less than an hour I had an e-mail back from Mark apoligizing for the confusion and promising find out what was happening. Before I could respond to the e-mail, Kevin called and asked if it would be possible to deliver my vehicle that afternoon. Customer Service / Delivery - 5 Star Rating - Within 5 hours of being contacted by phone my vehicle was dropped in front of my house. I was notified not only that the delivery would be made, but also when the driver got close to the house. Very courteous and professional. Customer Service / Post Delivery - 5 Star Rating - Mark has followed up with e-mails and a phone call to make sure that the matter had been resolved and even asked for feedback. (This last item is something that all good companies want, regardless if it is good, bad, or ugly) In summary, I am quite pleased with my overall experience with A-1 and will use you again. I would like to note that if the customer service agents are truly that busy, it is not the operators fault. I know very little about your industry, and don't know if this is a seasonal thing or what. I can only think of two ways to mitigate this problem. 1) Advise all clients that all communication post-contract will be through e-mail (less than an attractive option) or, 2) hire more customer service reps. (this is also a signal that business is good'''''smile). Thanks for your time and attention.”

“They’re the best as far as I’m concerned! I handed them my car more than one time and they always pulled through. They’re by far the best auto transport company I’ve used thus far. It was easy to work with Joe. He called several times and even filmed my car as it was being loaded. The video made me feel like I made the right choice. He called me every day while it was heading to Pennsylvania, so at no point was I worried. A1 Auto Transport is definitely a company worth using, and I can’t praise it enough.”

They’re the best as far as I’m concerned!
