Using West Allis Vehicle Transport Companies
- Preparation - Before your vehicle will be picked up by the company moving it, there are some minor preparations you’ll need to take care of. Basic maintenance should be done to ensure that the car doesn’t have any mechanical issues or leaks, that all fluids are topped off and that the tires are properly inflated. The vehicle should also be cleaned so that the driver can easily assess its condition and note it on the bill of lading. Personal items should also be removed from inside the vehicle, as well as any non-permanent additions or customizations, internally or externally. Most auto shippers will request that you leave no more than 1/4 tank of gas in the vehicle since the additional fuel weight can add to the cost of transport. Finally, you should disable any car alarms or antitheft devices that may go off during shipping.
- Doing Research - There are many places you can turn to for some advice when it comes to finding a reliable company to move your car. Most people are aware of sites like Angie’s List and Yelp that offer consumer reviews for products and services, but they aren’t always the best choice for something as specialized as moving a car. The federal body that regulates the industry, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), has a searchable database that is the best available resource on the internet for finding information about vehicle shippers. You may also find some helpful advice from professionals in related industries that deal with auto shippers on a regular basis. This includes real estate agents, auto dealerships, car rental agencies, and local towing and wrecking services.
- Vehicle Drop Off - When your vehicle is delivered, either to a local shipping terminal or to the address you specify, you will need to be present to receive it. If you can’t be present, someone may sign for the vehicle on your behalf. It is important to remember that the person who accepts your car at drop off will be signing for you, which is an acknowledgment that the transport was made as promised and that the vehicle is in the same condition. This information should be reviewed very carefully to ensure its accuracy since it is the legal document used to resolve disputes and complaints in the auto transport industry. If the bill of lading has been signed and indicates that the shipment has been made as agreed upon, there’s not much that can be done afterward in terms of compensation for damages or failure to fulfill the contract.
