Moving the Mover

Submitted by Steven Mi 10/03/2020

Ever since the first time I stepped foot into a car, ever since I understood what they were, ever since I learned where they came from and where they went, and ever since I learned just what went on behind the scenes, I’ve been fascinated. Not just at these beautiful machines, but at how they got around. More than just on their own, cars moved a huge part of their life on the backs of others. Then my family decided to move a car for the first time in preparation for our family trip from the Northeast all the way down to Florida. That’s when I found out - for when their wheels need a rest, cars have got entirely different options to take care of them just as they’ve taken care of me. And in looking for the right people to do just that, I’ve stumbled upon a whole life cycle beneath the surface that I’d like to share with you.

Consider, for a moment, if your car were to live your life. It’d live in a house with its car family, guzzle gasoline for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, take car-wash showers, and regularly schedule oil changes with its automobile dentist (or oilist?) Now, just like your daily trips around town, to other cities, or snazzy vacations on an exotic beach getaway, it’d need some way to get around. Everyone with a back would know the pains of poor transportation, the discomfort in their arms and legs from cheap upholstery and cramped spaces, the cost of speed over leisure. Your car would, too. So please allow me, in partnership with A-1 Auto Transport, to indulge your fancy.

What would your ride’s ride look like? Depending on where it wants to go, it could vary from a short journey to an odyssey, after all. The standard way to go would your equivalent of a bus ride - open air transport. It’s cheap, efficient, and reliable, for when you just want to go from point A to point B. You’ve definitely seen these beasts around - immense and all business, with a dozen passengers and attitude enough to eclipse other automobiles five times over. These heavy lifters make sure your car gets where it’s supposed to, and they’ll makes sure it gets there on time. Even better, you’ll always know where they are with built-in satellite tracking. For day-to-day use of a conventional vehicle, open air transport is the one that gives the most bang for your buck.

Your car could be shipped between predetermined locations in what’s known as terminal- terminal shipping. A-1 maintains these common depots in every major city, and these seas of chrome see thousands of cars come and go a day. It’s simple to drop off, simple to pick up from, and simple to afford. Built-in insurance coupled with constant updates will let you feel at ease about the condition of your car, and make sure you’re reassured all the way until you see it with your own eyes.

For a more personalized experience you could order door-to-door shipping instead, and have the vehicle delivered directly to your home. Here, you’d be able to send a car halfway across the nation and then pick it up in the same condition - all without having to step outside your home. For when you need your car in the right place at the right time, there’s simply nothing better.

Of course, there are more sophisticated options for your particularly prized cars. Tired of the elements having their way with that brilliant shine? Don’t want to share space with others? Then the enclosed transport is the best choice for you! In an era where a single scratch could cost a few grand, luxuries like air-ride suspension can make sure your car thoroughly enjoys its trip.

It’s even got seat belts in the form of mounted brackets and drip guards to make sure even the heaviest tremors and rain won’t damage it. And top it all off, this posh car limo even has a hydraulic gate door to let your snazzy ride out in style and, most importantly, safety.

All of this reaffirms why you can’t just let anyone handle your auto. Out of your hands, your own insurance won’t be able to access it. You’re no doubt entrusting your car to an external party much as you might entrust a beloved pet - a company that evidently has and will continue to uphold the promises it gives its clients. It should understand your standards of taking care of vehicles as if it were you. And most of all, no matter which service you’re looking for and no matter how far you want to ship, you need to make sure the company understands that quality comes first above all else. In particular, the much-coveted expedited transport that’ll move cars in the blink of an eye is often the riskiest of all. Different vehicles and different people have varying demands; a company needs to be able to cater to each and every one of these, and do it well. A company that’s as much “you” as you are.

Not to name names or anything, but A-1’s got you covered on that end. It has one of the most efficient insurance policies I’ve seen yet, and it’ll make sure you feel as safe leaving your car with them as you would having it right in front of you. And if you’re looking for personality, look no further than A-1’s service reps, who’ll spin a wholly customizable trip just for you and your budget. Many folks decide to move vehicles themselves, but it’s often much safer and much more reliable to consult a shipping service instead! You’ll never know unless you try.

How a simple childlike fascination with everything cars evolved into envisioning myself as one I just can’t say, but one thing’s for certain. The cars we depend on for so much need some love. And the few rides they get to enjoy out of their busy schedules should be the best ones they can get. At the end of the day, I’m honestly pleased at the care in which transport companies handle them ,and honored to associate myself with one that stands at the forefront of it all. Well done.
