The Requirements:

The gas tank mustn't be over a ¼ tank full.
The motorcycle must be washed and free of all dirt and deposits.
There cannot be any loose or unnecessary items on the bike. Make sure to remove them all.

“I shipped my Civic from to South Dakota using A1 Auto Transport. Stories of people losing their cars in transit or having to wait weeks for them when using other companies, made me a bit weary. But fortunately, my experience with A1 was the exact opposite. My car arrived 5 days after its departure, even faster than me. The process felt a bit informal when I got updated on the transport’s status via text message. I was a bit stressed, but Joe’s reassurances made it bearable. I found another company with slightly lower prices, but they just didn’t seem trustworthy, so I chose A1. I met the driver before the shipment, which was also reassuring. Somehow, they managed to keep my Civic for 3 days until I got to South Dakota to pick it up. I’m quite happy with my choice and I’ll give them a call when I go back home.”

“I recently contacted your company regarding the transport of a car I had purchased in South Dakota and needed brought to Okalahoma. First of all your quoted price was half that of your nearest competition, secondly the actual transport took only a few days and finally your driver couldn't have been more professional. Thanks for the value and quality of service. If you ever need a reference I'm your guy. Regards, Walt Thompson”

“I called Joe a couple times, but he did not answer. 15 minutes later he returned my call apologizing and explaining he was speaking to another client. I asked him a few questions and requested a quote. While waiting for it, I called 2 more companies, so I’d have more options. The quote arrived by email a short time afterwards with a lot of details which convinced me we were speaking the same language. Because of this, I choose them to ship my Honda to Arkansas. Although one of the other quotes was $100 cheaper, the company seemed less reliable, and I didn’t want to risk it. A1 Auto Transport did a flawless job moving my baby, and from beginning to end, I had no complaints. It arrived a few hours earlier than promised in the exact condition I left it.”

“I called over 5 companies and a bunch of people on uship with no success. I found A1 Auto Transport first, and after a lot more unnecessary research, I stuck with it. I found talking to Joe simple and straight forward. He presented a summary of the process, answered the few questions I had with ease, and offered several transportation options for me to choose from. The driver arrived at 10 am as promised, though I was half an hour late. I apologized and he understood. However, from his face I could tell he was tired. After asking him about it, he explained he had another transport the day before and had to drive until 4 am. I was a bit worried, but he reassured me nothing will happen to my car. He seemed experienced, so I let it be. After going around it several time, looking at every nook and cranny and taking several pictures, he requested I remove the spoiler, so it wouldn’t fly into another car during transport. He grabbed a toolbox from his truck and helped with this as well. He arrived in Florida in the morning, 2 days later. Since the time window was 3-5 days, I was a bit unprepared, yet happy to get it sooner. I picked it up from la parking lot nearby, and it was in perfect condition. Thank you Joe!”
