Safe And Reliable Mountain View Motorcycle Shipping Services By A-1 Auto Transport

There are different reasons as to why motorcycle shipping services may be hired. These include:

When a bike cannot be used due to poor road conditions or adverse weather conditions.
When the bike owner is relocating and needs their bike to be transported along with their household goods and personal belongings.
When the bike is inoperable.
When the bike has been salvaged.
When the bike has been purchased and after sales-service includes its transportation to the buyer’s address.
When using the bike to travel will possibly lead to the wear and tear of its parts and the owner would like to avoid this.

Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle

To transport your bike, we may use the following shipping methods:

Water shipping.
Air shipping.
Shipping via rail.
Shipping via road.

For all motorcycle transportation methods, we may use enclosed shipping, open air shipping or crated shipping. When your bike is to be hauled via road, you can opt to have it shipped on a motorcycle trailer, a flatbed truck or an open truck.

How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping

Motorcycle shipping involves many activities. Among them and the most important one is the preparation of your motorcycle for shipping. To prepare your motorcycle for shipping, you will have to do the following:

Remove the loosely hanging items and any motorcycle accessories.
Wash the motorcycle to remove the dirt and debris.
Check the fluid levels.
Check the battery and the tire pressure.
Disable the alarm system.
Inspect your bike and take note of the pre-existing marks and dents, if any. Take photos that clearly show the bike’s condition. This comes in handy in the event that you will have to file a claim in case your bike gets damaged while it is in transit.

What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company

When looking for a motorcycle shipping company, some of the factors that you need to consider so as to hire the best mover include:

The availability of a motorcycle insurance coverage. Find out if there are any limits on the extent to which compensation will be awarded. In case your bike is highly valuable and the shipping company’s cover is not sufficient, you may have to look for an additional motorcycle insurance cover.
Consider the communication flow between you and the company as well as the ability to get updates on your delivery.
The ability of the shipping company to offer you different motorcycle shipping options. A good mover will not limit your options to only a few services that might possibly not meet your needs.
The authenticity of the company and if they possess the relevant certificates and credentials.
The ratings and reviews that the company has received should be mainly positive.

Satisfied Customers

“The plan was to ship my car from California to Utah. I went through nearly 20 quotes after using an auto shipping site which linked to a bunch of brokers. Finally, I found A1 Auto Transport, a company with its own trucks with great reviews. I was sold. Joe was very competent, gave off the impression he’d done this a million times, and it really showed throughout the transport. He listened to my request carefully, offered me several options, stayed in touch during the transport, and made sure I was happy with everything. Overall, a great company which I would definitely recommend to others!”

“A1 Auto is kind of like your favourite mom and pop pizza parlour, the one you can’t get enough of despite all the new, expensive avant-garde pizza shops that have mushroomed conspicuously across the entire neighbourhood and seem to have taken over the whole world...but not you. Because you value quality and genuine customer service, and know this business understands and works doubly hard to give you your money’s worth. I’ve been using A1 Auto Transport whenever I left California for business: they may not be the cheapest car transporters around, but the sheer professionalism, dedication, and heart they put into their work is just amazing and worth my every dime. I’m probably one of the most sceptical people you would ever meet. I’m rarely convinced when bombarded with dubious, self-congratulating ads of companies that look like they’ve spent tons of money on marketing materials just to lure your average guy in. A1 Auto Transport is the complete opposite of these companies. My car always arrived promptly on schedule, never with a hint of scratch or dirt or damage, and they keep me updated every step of the process. When you’ve found a company whose genuine care for their customers comes naturally, you stand by them no matter what. It’s the most logical thing to do.”

“Not too long ago, I’ve shipped a couple cars to California from Maine, and choosing A1 Auto Transport paid off from beginning to end. Of course, I first got a bunch of quotes from different companies. I wanted to make an educated decision, and this led me to A1, having some of the best quotes and reputation of the bunch. Their customer service was impeccable, and Joe’s knowledge of the job showed even through the initial conversations I had with him over the phone. I could reach him at any time during the day. My schedule is a bit troublesome, so I called him at 7 am and 10 pm, yet he still answered in the same polite and professional manner. My cars arrived 2 days earlier. Considering there were 6 others on the truck he picked them up with, that’s really something. There was no damage done to them during transport, though being summer, I guess pebbles and theft are the only concerns in such cases. Thank you Joe for an awesome, stress free experience!”

“Most of the time people take the time to write a complaint letter. I am very happy with your service so far so I thought I would write and tell you. In today's world where mediocre service is the norm your company has proved your commitment to customer service is far above that of your competitors. I have not received my car yet but I felt compelled to write this email and commend A-1 Autotransport for the job well done thus far. Here are some points I would like to make. Your dispatcher Marie Ferguson upgraded my cars transportation, at no extra cost, to an enclosed transporter. My car is a rare SS Camaro Convertible with only 4,000 miles and is perfect in every way. I can't tell you how much I appreciate her concern for my cars safety. When the seller of the car was a little on the uncooperative side your agents offered to pick the car up where it was at the sellers residence. Again at no extra cost to me. The seller of the car called me after the car was picked up and mentioned how professional the driver was and how he moved cars off the transporter to put my car in the best location for it's long ride to Oregon. When I heard that I felt reassured I had chosen the right company to move my car. The system you have to track the progress is really fun. It took me a little while to figure it out but I had a blast watching the progress. Your driver didn't waste any time. The car was picked up in Ft Lauderdale Florida on Tuesday evening and was in Watsonville California Saturday afternoon. Great Job! I thought I might hear from you Sunday to arrange pick up of my car, most likely I hear from you Monday morning. Thank you again for all you folks have done for me. I would be happy to recommend your service to anyone who asks. Best Regards, Brian Hewgill”

“I had a great time transporting my car to California thanks A1 Auto Transport. Joe’s quote was reasonable and his reasoning and explanations were spot on. He couldn’t make it to the pickup, but he did call to make sure things were ok. The driver inspected my car, and I appreciated his professionalism. While it was on its way, Joe regularly sent me updates on its location through text. He estimated it would arrive in 5-6 days, and it was so. I was also given the contact information of my driver, so I could call both him and Joe if I ever felt the need to. My car got to Sacramento, California on the 5th day, and it was great to see it was well. There wasn’t any damage done to it during transit. This fact, Joe’s updates, and the fact that they met their deadline makes me recommend A1 Auto Transport as one of the best auto transport companies out there. It’s the 3rd company I’ve used to move a vehicle, and it will likely also be the 4th.”
