Car Shipping Company

Hello all,

I just purchased a car and will be needing it shipped. Has anybody used one that they liked? Just want opinions before I book one.

Thanks

I've used Reliable for shipping a classic car from AZ to the North Bay and they were easy to work with and gave us the best quote (at the time).

I used another one that I can't recall ATM. I'll post it if I can come up with it.

It kind of depends on where they are coming from and how you want to transport.
Most auto transport companies are just phone banks that subcontract jobs to locals

Empire Auto Transportation LLC will suit your specific needs for car shipping and auto transportation

I used Empire twice so far without a problem! My car was stuck in Utah a couple weeks ago and they happened to have a driver going through the state to the bay area. The truck driver even let me ride in the truck with him to home.
