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.

The following are the Johnstown motorcycle shipping services available:

Enclosed motorcycle transport, which offers you the safer bike transportation alternative at an extra cost.

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.

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.”

“I had to get my daughter’s new Honda to South Dakota, so she wouldn’t have to drive it herself. I trust her driving skills, but not out of the city. I’m glad Joe was available to help. He promised to handle it with the utmost care and at a good price. The very next day, a truck arrived to take it. I could finally rest easy. By the time my daughter knew what was going on, it was already on its way. Thanks Joe! A1 Auto Transport is a truly reliable company. I’ll call again if I ever need to.”

“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’ve had my cars shipped several times coast to coast for the past few years, and always had a smooth experience with A1 Auto Transport. They’re consistently professional and transparent with their prices and have the best drivers there are. I feel like they’re the only ones I can really trust in the car transport business. Every time, it’s the perfect experience. The first time I called them to bring a car I bought in Arizona; they answered all my questions and worked with me until it arrived in pristine condition. And they’ve been maintaining that track record ever since. These guys make it look so easy to be the Alpha in their game. Keep up the awesome work!”

“Nicole: Our experience with A-1 Auto Transport could not have gone more smoothly. To make things even better, the car shipping quote you gave was cheaper than all other price quotes I received. Thanks for the great customer service and quick vehicle shipping! The communication via email was very helpful. We received immediate feedback when we had questions. We changed our pick-up location just 2 days before the shipment, and the change did not affect the degree of professionalism we received; but, rather, the change was implemented smoothly and acknowledged by email. We did not use the GPS tracking service only because we were on the road at the same time our vehicle shipment was on the road. We would have used it otherwise. Yes, we would use your service again and will highly recommend your company to others. Sincerely, Kimberly”
