EKo Transport out of Jacksonville FL

Do not use this carrier. My son has a 944 turbo that is having a crazy motor build by broadfoot racing. The car was picked up on the 20th of Dec 15. It was delivered on Dec 24th 15. One of the mechanics see some damage on the front intercooler that should not be there. We contact the shipping company and they no nothing of it.
So now I am going to battle with them over the damage. I get a call from Gieco insurance company about the car being in an accident on Dec 21 15. I say that is impossible the car was on a truck being transported to Florida. They send me a copy of the accident report and it was my car.
The driver decided to take the car for a ride. In the accident report it shows the driver was doing excessive speed and went thru a stop sign and rear ended another car. He never told me and delivered the car.
I call them up to tell them the car was in an accident while in there possession and they say I dont know what you are talking about and hang up on me. Yet the driver of the car during the accident was the truck driver who owns the company. Did you ever hear of such bull ****..........

John

I already have my lawyer on it. I am going to have broadfoot racing go over the car and also check the motor since the motor was not even tuned properly for driving and they took it on a joy ride. I want to make sure there is nothing wrong with the motor. $23,000 into motor. The best of everything.

I am here in Jacksonville and know Bradfoot he'll do his part. If he does not know a reliable carrier PM me, I can ask my mechanic (who ships rare cars often) if he can recommend one. Good luck!
