Using Killeen, TX Vehicle Transport Companies 

Upfront Payment – Beware of companies that require an upfront payment before your vehicle is picked up. This should not be confused with a deposit that is paid after the vehicle is picked up and loaded before shipping. A deposit is a normal part of the process of working with a company that ships cars and it should represent a small portion of the total cost of the service. If you get an estimate from a company and they require that you pay half or more of the total payment before your vehicle’s condition is assessed and it is picked up for shipping, that’s a bad sign and warrants further research about the company. To sum it up, a small deposit is a normal part of the process, but a large upfront payment should not be.

Need to research an auto transport company? You should find everything you need to find safety ratings, complaint history and performance records at the National Consumer Complaint Database.

Get It In Writing – Any time we hear about a customer that got taken advantage of by a less-than-reputable auto carrier, it’s usually because they did not get the contract in writing. Verbal agreements don’t hold any validity in the industry and you should make sure to get a contract in writing (and fully understand everything on it) before any service is agreed upon or payment is made. Not only should you get the transport contract in writing, but you should also read it carefully and make sure you understand everything that’s included in it. If something is unclear or not detailed in the contract, ask the company for clarification and have them document the terms and communication on the contract.

Lowball Estimates – It’s becoming less of a problem thanks to heightened regulation within the industry, but customers should be wary of lowball estimates when pricing car shipping companies. Unfortunately, there are some unethical companies out there that operate without the required licensing and try to take advantage of unaware customers. One way to safeguard against getting a lowball estimate is to contact three to five companies before deciding on which one to hire. This way, you’ll get an idea of what others are charging for comparable services and be able to spot an estimate that seems unreasonable high or low.
