We are able to transport bikes using any of the following options:

Air transport.
Water transport.
Rail transport.
Road transport.

Getting ready for shipping: Bike preparation

There are many preparation activities that need to be done as you get ready to ship your bike. The following are some of the ways in which you should prepare your bike:

Cleaning it thoroughly.
Checking the engine.
Disabling the alarm system.
Removing the motorcycle accessories.
Checking the fluid levels and topping up the amount, if necessary.
Checking if the tires are inflated well.
Inspecting the bike and documenting a report on your inspection.
Taking good photos of the bike from different angles.

Note: Shipping using the crated option requires extra preparation of the bike by draining the fluids and disconnecting the battery. It is also good for you to confirm with the mover if they have specific requirements on how the bike should be prepared before they receive it. Some expect the handle-bars to be removed.

Our Johnstown motorcycle shipping services

The following are the Johnstown motorcycle shipping services available:

Enclosed motorcycle transport, which offers you the safer bike transportation alternative at an extra cost.
Open-air motorcycle transport, which is a less costly alternative to enclosed motorcycle transport. However, it offers less security to the bike because it will be exposed to various elements.
Crated motorcycle transport, which is a safe shipping option in which the bike is put in a wooden crate.
Motorcycle shipping advisory services, which ensures that you are guided and well-informed on the shipping process and the motorcycle shipping laws.
Motorcycle storage, which offers you extra convenience of getting an additional service from a single provider. This is usually hired in instances whereby you may not be readily available to pick the bike immediately after delivery has been completed.

Satisfied Customers

“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.”

“A1 Auto Transport is a company that moves cars, motorcycle, and even boats across the country, as well as internationally. They’re very professional, polite, and have a ton of experience. Moving my Honda to Michigan proved to be a breeze. I was worried I’d be delayed due to the weather, but winter doesn’t seem to hinder A1. They probably take it into account, as both the pickup and the arrival time window were respected. There were no delays, and worries about using an open carrier were for nothing. I chose the cheaper option to transport my car, but the service was just as good. I’d do it again. I highly recommend this company. If you have to more a car, they’re the best there is.”

“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 love A1 Auto Transport!

“I’m happy to say A1 Auto Transport did its job and moved my car successfully. I needed a transport company to get it to Oklahoma, and they pulled through. It’s real easy to get a hold of them. You can either call or use their online form to request a quote. I chose to call since it’s more personal, and you can get a better feel of the person over the phone. Joe eased any worries I might have had and answered my questions with confidence. This let me know I was dealing with someone with experience. The quote was reasonable, so I asked for their services. A truck arrived that afternoon, and my car was delivered a week later. It was originally scheduled to arrive between 8-9 days, so I was happy it arrived even sooner. A1 Auto Transport exceeds at customer service. It’s one of the easiest to work with companies I’ve met. Great work, great services, and great people!”

“Hi, Nicole: I just want to let you know how I am impressed with your company's efficiency in scheduling and customer service. The local transportation carrier just picked up my newly purchased car yesterday in Spring Lake, NJ and it is on the way to VA. I was told it will be a door-to-door delivery. Since I am still out of town and won't be back to Glen Allen, VA until 1/2/2006. I was wondering whether I may schedule the delivery date any time after 1/2. Thank you for the timely assistance from both you and Teresa, which made the transaction and delivery so smooth at the short notice in the holiday season. Your company's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction are really top-notched. Happy New Year and Regards.”
