I used DAS and had nothing but grief, paid for enclosed shipping and didn't get it, they were also late and the truck had damage, don't use DAS.

Avoid DAS at all cost. Shipped my previous P-car from Virginia to Cali and even though i paid for enclosed shipping it sat in an outdoor yard for 5 days and was coralled AGAIN in NJ (NJ ?????) for a few days before arrivign 7 days late.
I managed to take a look at my grime and filth covered car before they tried to wash it off with a hose.

what's the point of paying for enclosed shipping if it sits outside for a week.

avoid, avoid, avoid.

Used these guys twice in the last two years and they were excellent - out of Ohio I think. But did not bring vehicle across border...only to the border where I picked them up.

...use this link to look up the ratings on the various companies
