Auto carrier transport companies-recommendations?

[mark houghton]

Been doing a bit of searching on this forum, looking for experiences and recommendations for auto transport companies. These names seem to come up as "probably" the most trusted: FedEx Transport (can't tell if they're actually part of FedEx, or a name dropper) Intercity Horseless Carriage DAS Automoveit Could be a cross-country 930 move for me in the near future, looking at options. Comments, good or bad on these or others?

Mark, Have used Intercity and was pleased no issues. I have also heard Reliable is also good but a bit more expensive. Have a car coming from CA going to NH now using Intercity. Covered carrier with horizontal loading gate (no ramps) shipped for 1950.00 with all fee's. Reliable quoted 2395.00 for same ride and same type of enclosed trailer.
Good luck. New toy soon?

I had a friend who this summer had a E93 M3 shipped through DAS. Showing up with $5k in body damage, two curbed rims and two weeks late. Unfortunately for DAS, she is an insurance adjuster. Thats all the anecdotal evidence I have.

So is your 930 leaving or is its replacement coming home? Inquiring minds.....

Replacement coming home, I hope. A fly and drive is a lower cost option, but I'm not sure my disintegrating disc can handle 12 hour stints on the road, so the transport would be Plan B.

I vote for a Mark Houghton 930 Cross Country Relay....by the time you got the car it would be all broken in for you.

Get in touch with forum member (and fellow 930 guy) KG (his real name is Gytis, screen name IDGAF27). He's in the business of auto transport. I used him to ship my race car from Seattle to me in NYC area. Price was good (better than quotes from most of the usual suspects), plus he was able to get the car picked up and delivered to me faster than anybody else. Intercity was fully engaged moving cars for the Pebble Beach Concours and I would have waited weeks until they could do a pick up. I called KG when I was ready, the car was picked up 1 or 2 days later, and then was in my possession a few days after that. Enclosed transport, and on the same truck, without loading or unloading, for the entire trip.

That, my friend, would be the plan - regardless of how the machine gets home.

I have been happy with Intercity.
I have been very frustrated with DAS.

With respect to the above two companies, you get what you pay for.

My buddy used intercity from ca to al. Good service

[930slant]

Had my car shipped from DE to Palm Springs by Intercity. They were fast, reliable, and kept me updated as they traveled across the country. They were recommended by, (among others), TPC Racing which uses nothing but the best.

I tried intercity but they were too busy for a scrub like me so I found Thomas Sunday and they shipped my baby from South Carolina to San Diego first class white glove status. I'm very pleased. They were also competitive on price. Great customer service as well.

GL!!!
