The Yampa River flows into the Stagecoach Reservoir, giving rise to rich fishing grounds in Oak Creek that stay productive even during winter. The town stretches along a small section that lies between the I-70 to the south and Highway 40 to the north. Route 131 cuts it in the middle, joining up the two roads and offering the most important connection to the rest of Colorado. A-1 Auto Transport is one of the few service providers that can meet all of your needs when shipping cars to or from Oak Creek.

Our transport services in Oak Creek

Enclosed shipping helps to create a protective barrier between the vehicle and external environment, leading to one of the most secure shipping solutions. We recommend it as a suitable transport option when you need to move a restoration project or a high-end luxury car.

You can pair up the enclosed transport option with the door-to-door standard for the most secure shipping process. We will send an experienced professional to fetch the vehicle from any point and get it delivered to your residence or business premises.

When you live around crowded streets and highly urbanized areas, terminal shipping may come as the only delivery option available. We will appoint a nearby transportation hub in Colorado, where you will drop-off or collect the vehicle.

Open air transport offers one of the most affordable solutions for shipping cars to or from Oak Creek. Our multi-car trucks increase the available loading space, which allows them to carry 8-10 vehicles on the same trip.

The roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) standard offers the most economical international shipping solution. The shipping vessels have built-in ramps, which allow for a painless loading and unloading process. A team of handles will drive the vehicles on and off the ship at the exit and entry ports.

Containerized transport creates a dry and airtight environment, which helps to secure the vehicle in transit from potential seaside hazards. A-1 Auto transport offers two shipping models using the option:

You may opt for a dedicated container, which allows for exclusive use. You can pack your household goods and personal effects in the extra space left by your vehicle.
A shared container may help to bring down the cost to ship since you will only pay for the space occupied by your car. We can pack between 2-4 vehicles in the same compartment depending on their size and dimensions.

Types of cars that we ship

We have reliable transport solutions for boats, ATVs, yachts, golf carts, jet skis, snowmobiles, buses, RVs, vans, trucks, cranes, earthmovers, industrial goods, and project equipment.

How to prepare a car for shipping

Check in all the compartments for any personal items and valuables. Remove them to prevent possible losses and damage during transportation.
Detach all the aftermarket accessories such as DVD players, ham radio, removable faceplates, spoilers, grills, ground effects, luggage racks, and fog lights.
Give the vehicle a thorough wash so that you can have a flawless inspection process.
Walk around the car and record all the pre-existing cosmetic imperfections
Use a camera to take dated photographs of all sides and add them to the inspection records.
Run down the gas to about 1/4 of the tank. Avoid keeping too much fuel as it may add extra weight to the vehicle and complicate the process.
Run a series of maintenance checks on the mechanical systems, fluid levels, battery, and tire pressure.
Send the vehicle for repair if it has aggressive fluid leaks or mechanical problems.
List all the special operations needed to effectively start and drive the vehicle and where the note with the transporter.
Remove or cover any loose parts on the exterior that could get it the way during the handling process. Fold in the side-view mirrors and retract the antenna.
Disable the alarm system to keep it from draining off the battery while in transit.
Deactivate the toll tags to stop them from accumulating unnecessary charges along the highway.
Prepare a spare set of keys for the truck driver.

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 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.”

“A1 Auto Transport helped me move a vehicle to Iowa from Houston. I was a bit nervous, no knowing much about such services. Thanks to Joe, I was able to clear the fog a little. He answered all my questions and explained everything in a way that left no room for interpretation. The details were straightforward. I picked Sunday as the pickup date, since I wasn’t at work, and they accommodated me. The truck arrived an hour early, yet the driver patiently waited for me to arrive. He thoroughly checked my car for scratches or anything that might affect the transport then drove it onto the truck. I was given a 2 day time window during which the car was supposed to arrive in, and it got to Iowa in the evening of the first day. The trip didn’t damage it at all. Next time a friend wants to move, I’ll surely recommend A1 Auto Transport.”

“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.”

“This is the first time I have moved my vehicle this way. I was kind of scared at first not knowing much about how it works. I ended up working with John and he expalined in detail how it all works, My car was delivered a little late (2 days) but the team more than made up for it with their communication. Thanks again.”
