FOR AUTO TRANSPORT QUOTES CALL (619)-248-3496

Auto transport services are designed to aid customers in moving vehicles over long distances. These services don’t just work for new car dealerships and manufacturers. Many time an auto transport company also hauls vehicles for small businesses or individuals in need of moving services. Let’s face it, with the average American family owning 3 automobiles, moving a long distance requires multiple drivers. In many cases it is easier to use a transport service for your automobiles.

What does the auto transport service do?

Most car hauling services have specialized trailers that are designed to haul vehicles. There are different types of car haulers. In our business we use a Cottrell 10 car carrier that is capable of moving up to ten vehicles as once. As a service provider the auto transport company will arrange to pick up your vehicle. Once in their possession the shipping company will move your vehicle to its destination, and then offload it. Using a transport service will generally save you money, and it is more convenient than arranging for multiple drivers.

How do I find an auto transport service?

For most people finding a car hauler needn’t be difficult. All that is required is a look in your yellow pages, or a simple web search. You need to find a transport service that picks up in your area, and drives to the destination that you had in mind. When choosing an auto transporter you should verify that they are qualified with the right registrations, and that they carry both liability and damage insurance. Checking a haulers reference is a good way to find out about their past performance.

What can I expect if I hire an auto transporter?

Services actually vary between companies. There are some companies that will provide door to door services, while others may require you to take your car to their yard. When you drop off your vehicle the driver will walk through it with you, and record any current damage to the vehicle, such as rock chips, dents, or scratches. This visual inspection is for your protection, and the companies. You will likely be required to perform the same inspection when you pick up the vehicle.

Once you’re satisfied that everything is in order you sign the shipping certificate, and your done. The service of having your vehicle transported can make what would have been a difficult move, much easier.
