5 years, 20 lbs, and a new Corolla later, a lot of things have changed but Eric's awesome service at 1st Call Auto hasn't. When I accepted a new job on the other coast, I knew that the one part of the cross country move I wouldn't have to worry about would be shipping my car. Just like last time, communication was easy and prompt despite it being August student moving / holiday / COVID truck driver shortage season. Eric was honest and up front, and managed my expectations so that I made the best decision time wise, even though it was more inconvenient on the front end. As long as 1st Haul Auto is operating and run by Eric, I will never use another company if I have to ship my car. read more

Moving our daughter's car from Massachusetts to California was an efficient and smooth experience, all thanks to Eric at 1st Call Auto Haul. We had looked into other transport companies that provided lower estimates, but the reviews led us to second-guess their reliability. After reading the great Yelp reviews for 1st Call Auto Haul, we contacted Eric -- and, boy, are we glad we did! Within a month of our first phone call -- and after subsequent calls and email exchanges -- the car was expertly delivered to our home. Throughout the entire process and in every interaction, Eric was patient, thorough, and honest. My only suggestion would be to change the name to 1st *AND ONLY* Call Auto Haul as this is truly the one company you'll want to use to move your car! read more

1st Call Auto Haul - Perfect delivery! - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - Scituate, Massachusetts

I've used 1st Call Auto Haul back in 2018 when I was moving from MA to CA for work. Eric took the time to explain the process to me and even offered to drop off the vehicles at his house so that they could be shipped out after I left and I could minimize the time I was "carless". Both cars have arrived on time and in great condition. Fast forward five years, I was moving back East and 1st Call Auto Haul was my obvious choice. Eric worked with me to arrange the transportation of my two vehicles so that my first car was ready for me at the destination on the day of our arrival and the second car arrived two days later. As usual - clear and straightforward communication, attention to detail, and great customer experience. If you are hesitating - go ahead and give 1st Call Auto Haul a call. They aren't the cheapest vendor out there, but sometimes it make sense to pay a little extra for a piece of mind and knowing that you'll be taken care of. Thank you, Eric! read more

We had to leave my daughter's car in Boston after her graduation from college and travel cross country home to California. We contacted 1st Call Auto Haul and they took care of everything and had her car transported to California in 5 days!! Incredible Service!! read more

This was our first time transporting our car from Massachusetts to Florida. Eric at 1st Call Auto Haul took the time to explain the process and answered all my questions. Eric managed to get the car shipped in the time frame that we needed and our car was delivered when they said it would be. He deserves all his great reviews and we will definitely be using 1st Call Auto Haul again. read more

Used 1st Call to ship car to CA and the overall service was great. I have used other car transport companies and main benefit of 1st Call is that you have the same point of contact (Eric) v others where you call a general number and there is no personal service or attention to your specific needs. Eric is very responsive, experienced and was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We got out car out to CA on time. I highly recommend 1st Call. read more

When you move a long distance, you suddenly realize that there really isn't a guide out there to help you figure out what you need and who can do it the best. The best thing you have at this point is Yelp (and thank you!). Thanks for all the reviewers before me for pointing me in the direction of this great service! I needed to move my car to Atlanta and I searched and searched for a reputable company. I wanted someone with experience and knew what they were doing. 1st Call Auto Haul was that person. I spoke with Eric who helped me understand the process and took time to explain everything to me. I appreciated the patience and what he required to schedule the pick up of my car. I didn't realize (and I should have) that if I was present for my car to be picked up, then the car will most likely arrive before me. Eric helped me foresee that and we strategized. Ideally, it's better to have someone you trust turn in the car to the company so that you can be present when it arrives (so you can check out the bumps/scratches or damages). I called about 3 weeks prior to having my car picked up. Eric gave me a quote and told me that he would need a 3-5 day window to schedule the pick up. He coordinated with drivers on his end and we had a quick and painless transaction/dropoff and my car arrived before I did without any issues. With the stress of moving, you're trying to eliminate any additional steps that you would need to take and Eric helps you do that. He will guide you through the process and ultimately helps you get your car from point A to point B without headache. **I stand corrected** They service all 48 contiguous states! read more

After COVID, the auto transport industry is rocky at best. For a cross-country move, I hired one company that I later had to fire given total lack of communication. In contrast, my experience with Eric and 1st Call Auto Haul was great. Eric was very honest and clear regarding the current challenges in the post-COVID era and carefully guided me through the process. He frequently checked in, answered the phone, and effectively advocated for me. I can recommend him without hesitation! read more

I have transported cars in the past and always had issues with other brokers/drivers...often wanting additional money once the car arrived at the destination, no matter what the contract said on it. This was NOT what happened with Eric. He was honest, competitive, responded quickly to emails/phone calls and best of all...my car showed up and was delivered to me in record time at the promised price. Finally, I found someone that I can count on using in the future. By the way, he came highly recommended by my BMW dealer that uses him. That's an impressive referral in my opinion and one of the reasons I used him over other companies. Glad I did. read more

Eric at 1st Call is awesome. Shipping a vehicle for the first time is stressful and super confusing. Trying to find a reputable broker is the worst. Luckily I found Eric (via Yelp reviews) and he was so helpful. He took the time to explain how the broker-carrier relationship works, which route my vehicle would most likely go, and when the best times to ship are. He wasn't the cheapest option, but you pay for what you get. He was easy to work with, answered all of my questions, and found a carrier that got my car to its final destination even faster than anticipated. I would highly recommend working with him! read more

If I could give more stars, I would. I started purchasing a car online in March from Georgia. That turned into a nightmare and I ended up purchasing my car from Seattle. Tbh, I wasn't even going to try again and Eric recommended CarGuru and I found my very specific car I wanted, so I was delighted. The absolute smoothest part of all of this, that took months btw, was working with Eric. He was on top of Both dealerships for me and made sure everything went smoothly once purchase was complete. Before I found him I was abs bombarded with quotes and quickly realized I had no idea what I was doin. Enter Eric! My car arrived in perfect condition! And going clear across the country the time the driver made I thought was impressive! Before you give out your email or God forbid, your # like I did and get hammered with crazy quotes, just work with Eric. I live for reviews so hopefully this helps anyone in the market for car transport!! read more

1st Call Auto Haul - Pristine!! - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - Scituate, Massachusetts

My Marine son requested that I ship his Toyota Camry to him from Massachusetts to California. I spent quite a bit of time learning the options, the lingo, and the gotchas - as well as reading many reviews at http://www.transportreviews.com/ After much deliberation, I went with Eric Sailer at 1st Call Auto Haul and am very glad I did. He is professional, thorough, knowledgeable, and polite. His rates and fees are fair - he was ready to answer all my questions and guide me through the process. Be wary of low ball offers and similar ripoffs. You won't save money there. You pay the broker's fee by credit card when you ink the contract, but it doesn't get charged to you until the car is picked up. The balance is payable COD to the driver. I highly recommend Eric and this firm - in addition, the driver was on time, polite, and friendly. All in all, a very positive experience ! read more

Stop your search here. You've found the best. Eric and 1st Call Auto Haul are straightforward, reliable, reasonably priced, and of high integrity. Eric saved the day when my initial shipping company went totally unresponsive. He had my vehicle on the truck within a few days, and helped me figure out some complicated logistics. I was always able to speak with him directly and he answered all of my questions, plus he patiently explained the full shipping process. None of that leave a message and wait 3 days for a callback nonsense I experienced with multiple other companies. Best of all, my car arrived in pristine condition, not a bump or scratch to be seen. It's not a nice car, but it's the only one I've got, and Eric made sure it was on a truck with high-quality shippers. I'll never work with another car transporter again, and I'll be referring all my friends to 1st Call Auto Haul. read more

I used Eric a couple years ago but I just realized I never wrote him a review. Eric was awesome. I needed to transport my car from Boston to SF and everything just felt right. Eric returned my calls and answered all my questions. He went above and beyond and let me drop my car off at his home because of difficult logistics. The driver had excellent communication as well and texted me as needed. You can definitely count on Eric to get your car transported safely! read more

I contacted Eric for help transporting a vehicle from MN to NH. He spent time with me on the phone and through emails to make me comfortable with the process and outlined the expectations. His demeanor on the phone was impeccable, second only to his ability to find a quality carrier in little to no time. He complimented me and greatly appreciated me letting him know what I wanted to ship, where it was, where it was going, and when I needed it by when I went through the initial yelp quoting process. I was in no rush to move the vehicle, but he made it happen very quickly and efficiently with constant contact between myself and the seller of the car. Do not hesitate to use Eric for your vehicle transport needs- he will be my first call if I'm ever in need again!! read more

There's a reason why Eric has five stars! Having purchased my first classic, 200 miles from my home, I was extremely nervous about getting her safely to her new home, especially after reading horror stories about transport companies online. Using 1st Call was the best decision possible for transporting my 67 Impala SS. Eric is honest, his prices are fair, he works his behind off to get your vehicle to you (even if it's located in a remote area like mine was), and the transport driver, Jim, was the sweetest guy. My car arrived a day early in perfect condition. Do yourself a favor and give Eric a call. I give him my highest recommendation. read more

Eric is fantastic to work with! I needed a last minute transport and he worked magic and was able to get my car picked up for transport the same day! During the whole process he was easily reachable by phone and/or email. He provided true customer service- really worked to make sure his clients were informed about the process and happy! This is rare to find with any company anymore. If you are in need of auto transport, this is the company and guy to work with!! So you can stop your search! Pricing was fair and reasonable. Thanks so much! HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

1st Call Auto Haul - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - Scituate, Massachusetts

Eric was the best. He understands how stressful it can be to move. Not only does he handle his business with respect and honesty, he helps break down the process and keeps you in the loop. I would 100% use his business again and again. The carriers he uses with his business are great as well. Very honest, patient and communication is on point. Talk soon Eric, hope all is well! read more

This wasn't our first time sending our car somewhere, so we kind of knew the drill. Or so we thought. Eric made things way easier! We had very peculiar needs for delivery this time, for it was my mother who was going to receive my car (and she doesn't have a USA cellphone number); nonetheless Eric answered absolutely every question we had, and was following the processes every step of the way. There is nothing better than feeling reassured and having great communication. My advice? Don't hesitate in giving him a call! He is definitely very trustworthy! read more

This Company and Mr. Sailer is simply the Gold Standard in getting your vehicle moved across the country. I have now used this great company twice and each time the customer engagement and quality of service is superb. I HIGHLY recommend this team and completely trust his word when it comes to making the move a reality. Outstanding job Sir! read more

1st Call Auto Haul - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - Scituate, Massachusetts

What an awesome experience! I shipped a truck and an SUV across the us and they both arrived on time and without any major incident. Eric was a pleasure to work with, from the beginning. He gave me a few quotes based on the payment options he had and he stood behind his quotes. He answered all my questions and he was very accommodating based on our circumstances. Highly recommend Eric. read more

I need to move my car all the way from MA to CA, and the timing was not easy. The owner Eric was so helpful to move the whole process forward. He is very thoughtful and transparent for the whole process, and for the whole time i feel i am chatting with a old friend. He is probably the most trustworthy business owner i have ever dealt with. Thank you Eric for making the moving process so much smoother!! read more

I have been dealing with Eric for several years transporting my vehicle to Florida from Ma, He is prompt, courteous , and dependable, I would highly recommend him. He is a stress free person to deal with and his prices are reasonable. read more

After making the mistake of giving my contact information to a website that gave my info to 50+ auto carriers, many of those phone calls and emails felt sketchy and I was turned off by the constant barrage of emails, texts, and phone calls. Once I was ready to get my car shipped from FL to MA, I dug deeper on Yelp to find a more local option and Eric lived up to all of his solid reviews. I appreciated his clear communication and information shared throughout the process, and that he didn't accept payment until the car was picked up from its first location. I might have been able to save $100 by going with someone else, but it was worth knowing that he was invested in the process along the way. My car arrived without issue within a day of his initial estimate, and a few days before my deadline. Thank you! read more

Hi, I did my research as we were looking to transport a car from MA to So Cal for our daughter. I learned a bit about the industry which is tricky to navigate, and got several quotes. I also wanted to try several local companies, and found 1st Call Auto Haul through Yelp, and I am so thankful. Eric the owner is very transparent, he is very clear with answering any questions you might have, and he is very accessible. The logistics for the pickup with the company he contracted with was a bit delayed, and when I reached out to Eric, he got right back to us with answers. Great working with Eric, everything went as promised, and I highly recommend using his company! read more

Thrilled...THRILLED with Eric!! Did not take an upfront deposit, unlike many transporters, which I thought was quite honest. Car was picked up on time with plenty of communication along the way, and dropped off as promised. Eric knew what he was doing and was easy to work with. Could not recommend more. read more

Eric was pretty prompt and helpful with my moving. He asked for my desired date of shipping and delivering and found an ideal carrier for me within a day. Imagine shipping a car from Boston to San Francisco with only 6 days!! And at pretty reasonable price too. I will surely recommend Eric's service for shipping your car! read more

Eric did a phenomenal job getting my car from Boston to LA! I was flexible with the drop off date in MA, but knew I needed my car as soon as possible after I arrived in California. When I landed at LAX, the driver called that my car was ready and could be at my apartment when I arrived. Within minutes of arriving at my apartment, my car arrived at my door on a flatbed truck and was in great condition (albeit dirty, but that was expected). 1st Call Auto Haul was a little more expensive than other shipping companies, but it was definitely worth it for such a flawless delivery and it saved me money overall by not needing to rent a car. The process definitely exceeded my expectations- thanks Eric!! read more

I get the impression that Eric runs the whole show by himself and cares quite about his reputation. There were shipping companies who quoted me a lower price on my car transport but they also assaulted me with form emails and had either terrible or fake-looking reviews. I guess I mainly I went with 1st Call because Eric wasn't some rude jackass on the phone. He was able to get a driver very quickly, the next day if I recall correctly, and the driver (Jose) was both courteous and professional. My car made it safely to it's destination right on time, and I will definitely be contacting them again next time I need a car moved. read more

Eric was extremely helpful, understanding, honest and trustworthy. I'm so glad I listened to all the Yelp reviews-- he was really a beacon of light in a sea of greasy, shady towing companies. It's worth paying whatever he asks because it's honest, not BS. You won't regret it! read more

OUTSTANDING AND HONEST Review: Eric runs an outstanding and honest transport company. You can always reach him and this company is absolutely amazingly dependable. This was a last minute decision to ship a car from NJ to California. In a matter of 24 hours Eric was able to have the vehicle picked up and the car was delivered today. This is the 3rd time I have used this company and Eric continues to run an outstanding operation based upon integrity, honesty and dependability,,,,,all of which are essential in a car transport company. In addition to all of these wonderful attributes of this company, you can ALWAYS get in touch with Eric. I would highly recommend this company and give him an A+ in every category!!!!!! read more

Another 5* for 1st Call! This was my first time using a car transport service. After making the mistake of filling out a generic on-line form and getting called, aggressively, by countless brokers I found 1st Call here on Yelp! Eric was phenominal. He is very knowledgable, articulate and professional. He secured a good rate. The quote was in the lower middle of the spectrum. I was determined to avoid the lowest quotes because of online reports of lowballing and nickel and diming. Trust is very important in this transaction. Once the brokers is paid you pretty much have no recourse. My shipping timeframe (Boston on Colorado) had constraints on both ends but Eric assured me that he could work with them, and he did. The rig driver was polite and professional as well. My confirming calls with the hauling service were also flawlessly handled. This was a 5 star experience in a business where that is not the norm. read more

Used them to ship a car from Massachusetts to Texas. Prices were competitive and they were really easy to work with. Definitely preferred working with a local company over a national shipper. Would not hesitate to work with them again. read more

I needed to ship my car from Massachusetts to Colorado and I started doing research. Browsing websites such as www.transportreviews.com, everything looked great at first. Then, I used Yelp to gather further information, and the horror stories about the apparently great companies started to come up. Finally, I found 1st Call Auto Haul and Eric. He did a very good job, since I was also in a hurry; he was always timely responding to my emails or calls and he chose a reliable carrier who actually picked up and delivered my car in the scheduled time frame. If you need to ship your car, I would definitely advise you to call Eric. read more

Perfect choice for car transport. No need to look anywhere else. Eric is amazing and my car was transported safely and on time. Definitely use 1st Call Auto Haul. Incredible experience! read more

By far one of the best services I have ever received. I needed to ship my daughter's car from Mass to Cali and was worried how and who can do this without any issues and stress, until I talked to Eric. His professionalism and willingness to help is second to none. He made is so easy and worry free. I have already given his name and number to two other folks who are planning to move as well. Stop your search and call Eric, you'll find out for yourself how he'll make your life easier. My daughter got the car 6 days after it was shipped from Mass with no scratch or bump and in perfect condition. I should also commend the truck driver who was very nice, professional, and seasoned. He made this easier as well, showing that Eric only works with the best. read more

Eric is the man. Car went from Boston to LA in 5 days. Perfect timing, no problems. Really stoked!

I was skeptical about using a broker to ship a car at first, but Eric was very informative and made me feel comfortable about giving my cars to a complete stranger. In the end I had a great experience and I highly recommend Eric as a rep to consider when shipping vehicles. read more

Eric & 1st Call auto should be your only choice when shipping the items you care about. I was doing my research for a few weeks and was having trouble finding carriers I could trust with my semi brand new car that I needed shipped across country. I came across Eric on Yelp and based off the reviews I took a leap of faith. I needed a car shipped across the country and Eric was on it from Day 1, it took longer than expected because of some outside challenges but Eric kept me updated the whole way through and got the job done in a better & covered carrier than promised. 1st Call Auto & Eric is the only way to go. read more

Shipped car from RI to cal. Very helpful, informative. Decent prices. Pleasant to deal with
