When my car sale fell through with just a day left to move overseas, AutoExpress came through so quick! Called Friday early morning, my car was picked up later in the afternoon, car arrived in TX from NY Monday morning! We were a military family stuck in what felt like the worst situation ever, and they really came through for us. Thank you for the quick response and help! read more

My new review is in response to the "lies" Chris claims I made about their company. lol, laughable. I never did not show up for any appointments. I scheduled to drop my car off on a Friday "any time after dinner" and was told they were open until 9pm. I was told this actually works better for them. Then I get a dispatch call midafternoon they're at my house and need to pick the car up. A "miscommunication on their end". I wasn't out shopping. I was out running last minute errands for a cross country move. They said they would go to other pickups and come back, I came back early to get them my car. They did NOT wait 2 hours for me- I watched the guy pull up the second time. They actually said he would be there in about 2 hours, it was 4. I didn't need to rush home. Also, they did not pay for my Uber to dinner (but they did pay for my Uber to Walmart upon me picking up my car though after delivering it to the wrong location aka asked for my address and location but forgot to pass it on to the delivery guy and picked a random Walmart in a big city that was 35 minutes from me, so yes that Uber they paid for). Also, I am not a "young person" like your daughter. Let's stop assuming people's ages and even then basing how we feel about them off that. Plain and simple, the communication was poor, nobody on your team talks to each other which is why things are falling through the cracks, and I let you guys know that as a way to improve. Both delivery drivers were great, but telling someone to drop off their car at the downtown office after dinner and then showing up at noon "because of a miscommunication" and then going to the wrong delivery address "because we forgot to pass along the updated information" doesn't work for a business. Own it and move on! *** He responded again and is now saying my friends planned a surprise dinner for me (not true, I was going to dinner with one friend) and I blew them off. I am attaching photos of the emails and text communication with them. It shows the email they sent me when the driver thought my car was already at the office so I had to reroute and make myself available for them, which they thanked me for.... not I blew them off for a surprise dinner lol. Also a copy of his Yelp response for when he changes it again and lies again. Be careful with these guys!! read more

With so many auto shipping companies to choose from I am very pleased to have chosen these guys to ship my vehicle from California to Florida. Straight forward reasonable quote, good communication and impressive professionalism. I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to call upon them again if I were to need auto transport services in the future. Great Job! read more

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! ZERO INTEGRITY AND CAR DAMAGED/NEARLY LOST IN THE PROCESS! I hardly ever post reviews but I have to for Auto Express in order to warn potential customers to look elsewhere at any cost. I was moving across the country and needed a reliable auto shipping company to transport my car, which Auto Express appeared to be. I can say with confidence now that many of these positive reviews are either paid for or from the employees themselves (i.e. their corrupt CEO Craig). Conveniently, Craig's positive review of his own company is one of the first to appear. DO NOT TRUST THEIR POSITIVE REVIEWS. Auto Express was excellent to work with when it came to taking my money. They require payment upfront which is NOT NORMAL for auto shipping companies. This was the first of many red flags. Once they received the money they were impossible to get a hold of. They also failed to pick up my vehicle as agreed upon, and instead had me drop it off at a lot far away from the original location. AUTO EXPRESS BROKE EVERY AGREEMENT THAT WAS MADE. Another thing they advertise is tracking your vehicle while it is being shipped, however they NEVER told us where the vehicles were. Luckily I had an AirTag in my car otherwise Auto Express would have lost my car. Auto Express also failed to deliver the car to the required address, completely due to the fault of the incompetent employees who work there. Our cars arrived in the town they were supposed to, but because Auto Express REFUSED to communicate with the trucking company payment was not delivered. Our vehicles were then taken to an undisclosed lot which Auto Express would again REFUSE to tell us where they were. WE WERE MISSING OUR CARS FOR 5 DAYS WITH NO UPDATES AND ZERO COMMUNICATION FROM AUTO EXPRESS. The only reason we were able to find our vehicles at all was because of the AirTag. We tracked the vehicles to a lot 50 MILES from the agreed upon delivery point. There we were able to get in contact with the trucking company who was just as in the dark as we were with Auto Express. They had not heard anything from Auto Express and had no idea what to do with our cars. Thankfully the good men and women at the trucking company (NOT AFFILIATED WITH AUTO EXPRESS) were able to work with us in order to get our cars released. WITHOUT MY THIRD PARTY TRACKING, AUTO EXPRESS WOULD HAVE MISPLACED OUR CARS. The best part of this whole ordeal is that my car arrived scratched down the doors on each side as if someone had keyed them. Thank you Auto Express! They also tried to charge me $500 DOLLARS EXTRA because the "footprint" of my car affected the loading of the trailer. We reached out to the trucking company directly to ask if this was true and they said it hadn't affected it at all. AUTO EXPRESS ATTEMPTED TO SCAM ME AT THE EXPENSE OF THE TRUCKING COMPANY! At the end of the day, car shipping can be a messy business. Auto Express advertises themselves as a company above the muck of other car shipping companies, however this couldn't be further from the truth. The lying, scamming, and manipulation was abhorrent throughout the entire process. To prove this, the company will probably post a reply to this review refuting my claims. I have included an attachment of my agreement with Auto Express as proof this isn't a "cyber attack." IF YOU VALUE YOUR CAR, YOUR TIME, AND YOUR SANITY, LOOK ELSEWHERE! read more

Auto Express - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - San Diego, California

From start to finish these guys were exceptional. I had gone through two other brokers to get my car shipped to Tennessee. I was running out of time and starting to have a mental breakdown for sure. When I called I actually spoke to the owner who was kind and straight to the point. Craig was very clear with his team's process and what to expect from start to finish. He also let me know that they have a very convenient safe location where I could drop my car off if his carrier wasn't quite ready for pick up. His team communicated with me every step of the way and even gave me an app. To follow as my car was traveling across the states. The final drop off day the driver was great and arrived earlier than I had expected. My car was spotless and I couldn't recommend this company more. They even called me after to make sure I was happy. Classy, that's the word that comes to mind. Thank you so very Much!!! read more

They get two stars for getting our cars to our destination. I reached out to this company after being scammed by a different one. On their quote they claim they will assign a driver and schedule your pickup right away. (This was not my experience). We needed to ship our cars a long way, from Alabama to Seattle. I immediately hired them on June 15, the day I contacted them, and paid $995 dollars upfront as a deposit. The quote was for $4995. I finally heard from a dispatcher in the afternoon of June 16. They assured me they could get our cars picked up by June 22nd in the morning. After explaining our situation, I was once again assured by Quinn the dispatcher that they would "get this taken care of for me." By this time it was June 17th. I then did not hear from her again (despite multiple attempts from me to reach out) until June 21st. At this time I was concerned the driver would not actually pick up our cars as promised. I asked if we could leave it at a different address, as we would have to fly out by the 22nd at 1pm. I was told at this point to leave our cars at a different address. Communication was then pretty spotty. On June 23rd we were told one of the steer tires needed to be repaired. Our cars were finally picked on the 24th and our friends had to drive them to a different location for pickup. Despite all of the stress, lack of communication and promises that were not kept, I understood that our timeline was tight. I was okay with them at this point. I was told our cars would be dropped off between June 27 and June 30th. Unfortunately, drop off for our cars was communicated unprofessionally. I waited patiently and reached out to Quinn on the last day of the window I was given. At this point she told me the driver would be arriving that day but that she could not give me a window on what time he would be arriving. I was told "We will be sure to give advance notice before his arrival as well as the meeting point." At 1:51 PM I received the next email stating the driver was ALREADY at the meeting point. Although they had my phone number, I did not get a call or a text. Luckily I checked my email at around 2:30 pm. At this time, I called Quinn and told her we would try to be there at 3pm as we had to suddenly leave work. She then apparently spoke to the driver and told me he was "willing to wait" for us. (How nice. After we were given no notice prior to his arrival). We had to rush to get to the meeting point and had to uber to the location as he decided to drop off everyone's cars at a Home Depot near our place. The driver did not even know our names, or how much money we still owed. I had to show him our quote. Ridiculous and shady. I expressed my disappointment in an email and asked for a receipt but have received nothing in reply so far. The entire situation was a lot more stressful than it needed to be. At no point did I receive an apology for the unprofessional communication and the undue stress that was caused. They charge way too much to treat their customers this way. I would think twice before choosing them. I definitely will not be shipping cars with them again. Update: Quinn reached out and apologized. I also received a $200 discount. I have updated my review to express that they tried to make this right. read more

Auto Express - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - San Diego, California

Shipped two vehicles from San Diego to Illinois and paid $4,400. The pickup experience was fine, with Autoexpress accommodating adding an additional vehicle to the shipment a few days out. I will also highlight that they stuck to their promised pickup date, which was crucial to me as I had a flight the following morning. The driver did stall my (manual) vehicle several times but that is not unexpected given the difficulty of loading onto the truck. However, the vehicles were dropped off unattended in a parking lot with the keys in the unlocked vehicles with no communication from Auto express. Fortunately I was monitoring the digital BoL and saw the drop-off photos of the vehicles in a parking lot with GPS coordinates. I was able to recover the vehicles before any issues arose. Craig explained that this was not "normal procedure", but frankly I was underwhelmed with their deflection and lack of taking responsibility for the actions of their driver. This experience has made me hesitant to ship vehicles again in the future. With improved drop off communication, this could have been a 4 or 5 star experience. However the shock of discovering my family's vehicles unattended, unlocked in a school parking lot with no communication from Autoexpress ended this experience on a negative note. read more

When we started the process of selling our classic cars, we required that the buyer be local because we knew how flaky and even scammy auto transport could be. Sure enough for our last classic's sale, we had a buyer in Arizona who said he would take care of arranging his own transport -- as long as we didn't have to be involved in the transport, we were fine with it. But as soon as he purchased our car last Saturday, the buyer reached out to the transporter he had coordinated ... and they stopped communicating with him, leaving the car with us until he could find someone else. Fortunately for us, I found Craig and Quinn and Auto Express on Sunday. They are local so we felt good about referring them based on what we've seen online. Our buyer communicated with Quinn who got the car scheduled for transport within two days' time -- amazing considering he contacted them on a Sunday. Quinn also communicated well with us and then Craig came out in person to meet the truck driver and go over all the transport details with him and us. The car was delivered the next day so it was a happy ending all around. Thank you, Craig and Quinn and Auto Express -- we'll use you for any transportation needs in the future! read more

If you are looking for a real Auto Transportation Company then look no further and call Auto Express123 for your on peace of mind. I recently found myself having to ship a vehicle from Southern California to the Northern Sierra Foothills. I had so many quotes/prices from different companies, but they all lacked their own facilities, trucks and reputable drivers. Auto Express123 went above and beyond picking up our elderly Aunts vehicle safely and delivering it a full day ahead of schedule. Thank you so very much Craig and Quinn for your excellent customer service. They are not going to be your cheapest, but they are worth it. read more

I had a great experience with Auto Express. My car was shipped from Florida to California with no issues. I had to expedite my trip earlier than expected and they helped me with that. Customer service is great! read more

Too many problems to name!! But steer clear! I can say car was delivered, 2 days earlier than I agreed. So it is sitting in the hotel parking lot, hopefully locked, until I arrive in 38 hours. All the problems stem from communication within the company. I admit I had a tight timeline with almost basically no flexibility, other than a day, and was very upfront with that before committing. Was guaranteed they could work within my tight constraints. Offered to cancel when things started get difficult, but promised they could do it. And then while they try to fix their mistakes or shortcomings I am supposed to be grateful and over the moon appreciative. After another misstep in communication, I stated I was happy to cancel as they couldn't meet the timeline or expectations I had, and he promised they could. Problems continued to arise. Of course I am mad, I was short, pointed out their shortcomings, raised my voice, but never did I fabricate stories or curse and name call any of them like they did! If they couldn't have done the job as requested or within my timeframe, they just needed to say so and all of this could have been avoided. There are other reviews of people with similar experiences where the owner disputes or makes it seem as though they are lying, instead of just admitting their mistakes and/or shortcomings. I have a feeling there are more experiences like this, however the owner can be so hostile, they avoid writing any reviews. This man cursed me out, asked if I was mentally ill, called me all sorts of names, continued to call me ungrateful, yelled at me, made up stories, all because he wanted this his way and not what was agreed upon. He even used his own employee's neurodevelopmental condition as an excuse for some of the miscommunication issues. REPULSIVE!! I will not be using them in the future or recommending this company. read more

My purpose now is to express my point of view regarding a service that Auto Express Inc., provided us by transporting my car from San Diego, CA to Kilmarnock, VA. On May 16th, they received the car in San Diego with the promise of receiving it in Lancaster, VA between 7 and 10 days, and they did not deliver it until June 5th in Kilmarnock VA, 8 days late. Auto Express Inc. is a company that is on the list of the 10 best, providing very good service, but this one "cares more about money than service, without knowing that with good service, money comes." And we called several times to find out the arrival date of the car and the agent who helped us was not very courteous, even my son's calls were blocked. read more

Auto Express - The service receipt. - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - San Diego, California

I wanted to expand my review to express my appreciation about my initial contact with Auto Express and speaking with Craig. I was exhausted with a months long hunt for the right truck and concern about buying sight unseen, aside from photos. Craig took the time to listen, with full attention, and assured me that they would log and photograph not just for their records and requirements but would let me know if there were issues they found I may be unaware of. Auto Express assured all paperwork was in order, and I want to thank the entire team, the ones working hard behind the scenes, to make the delivery not just happen, but to keep me in the loop and informed until the driver was at my driveway. Any future need for hauling will be directed first to Auto Express. Thank you guys for great service! read more

Auto Express Inc. is an absolute disaster and should be avoided at all costs!!! In our unfortunate encounter with this company, they displayed a shocking level of dishonesty and incompetence. Despite their initial quote of $995 for shipping, they shamelessly hiked the price without any prior notice or consent, leaving us stunned by the sudden increase, as seen by the invoice and quote.. Moreover, their demand for a "down payment" allegedly going to their driver turned out to be a blatant money-grabbing scheme, as they pocketed double the amount paid to the driver, according to their own listing, once again as seen by the photos in this review.. This deceitful practice is made worse by their complete lack of accountability and communication, leaving customers like us feeling betrayed, lied to, and cheated. To compound matters, Auto Express Inc. failed miserably in meeting their own promised deadlines. Despite assuring us that our car would be picked up on a Monday, after I called and informed them I would like to cancel as I had found my own driver that could pick up the vehicle in a couple hours; they "Suddenly" had also found a driver and told me it would be picked up Monday. Come to find out it was a hoax as they repeatedly delayed the process with empty reassurances and false updates. Our vehicle ended up stranded in an unsafe location for an additional 36 hours beyond the agreed-upon pick-up time, causing immense stress and frustration. The sheer audacity of this company to then expect us to write a positive review is beyond belief. With such blatant disregard for honesty and customer service, it's clear that Auto Express Inc. is not a reputable choice for anyone seeking reliable auto shipping services. They will lie to you, cheat you, and pay drivers half of what you pay them. Avoid at all cost!!! Response to business owner: Learn to take responsibility for your actions, instead of coming on here and calling me fake to maintain your fake reputation. As seen by photos I am a legit customer who is very upset with the service provided. They told me Monday morning it would be picked up but as seen by this company it was lie after lie to keep me quiet.. Anytime I asked for an update suddenly the driver was almost there. Pickup wasn't until Tuesday 2 PM, as seen by the documented and dated text messages. I hope whoever reads this review will trust my words over whatever bogus the business owner continues to respond with. read more

auto express was very hard to deal with. they did not give any updates, even when stating they would give an update on driver arrivals. we were told we would get notified when driver was 2 hours out, never happened. just a phone call when driver was there. when dropping cars off at location, the company had not paid the driver, which then caused headache because driver would not release cars. They also did not meet the 72 hour pickup window. read more

best response quickest delivery friendly staff and the car was there on the day promised

From first communication to delivery, everything was 5 Stars! I was shipping my car from Arkansas to Maui. This was a special, one of one cars that Craig knew was special. He chose his enclosed truck and it arrived just like how it was picked up. Communication along the way was spot on as well. They delivered her to the port at the right time and I felt like I was VIP. If you want this type of service, go with Craig and team. Worth every penny. I'll use them again to ship my Subaru from North Carolina to Maui next. read more

Had a great experience with Craig, Quinn, and the crew at Auto Express Inc. From start to finish they were transparent and responsive. I was shipping a car cross country for the first time ever and I was very worried about the whole process since there's a lot of bad actors/ scammers in the car delivery space, but Auto Express Inc did a phenomenal job and our car got to New York safely. They will definitely have my business as well as my family's business again in the future. read more

PROMISES MADE; PROMISES KEPT! All I can say is that Auto Express went above and beyond any prior transport service I've used.

On a personal note: thank you Quinn for your attention to detail and customer care. read more

I recently got out of the Navy and needed my car shipped from CA to PA. At first I was booked Montway Auto transport and canceled as soon as I heard about Auto Express! Turns out Montway was not the company that would actually be shipping my car. This company, however, is the 100% real deal and WILL be shipping your car personally. Craig the owner exceeded my expectations with communication and drop off of my vehicle and even dropped me off at the airport so I could make my flight! Quinn was excellent and updated me with any updates and also provided me with a tracking link so I could see my vehicle in real time. Kirill was the driver and delivered my vehicle with no damage or incidents. I would recommend this company to all of my fellow military members or anyone in general needing to ship their car elsewhere!! read more

I am so relieved that I found Auto Express Inc! They shipped my daughter's car from San Diego to New York, quickly, efficiently, and safely. Prior to finding Auto Express Inc., I talked with two other companies -- they were brokers who didn't own their own trucks so they were unable to execute on the time and price they promised. They were super shady about everything, keep telling lies about availability and increasing the prices after a signed contract. (After I've read more, this is apparently common in this industry.). Not Auto Express! Craig at Auto Express was transparent, honest, extremely helpful, and delivered as promised. Be warned that other companies may initially give you a lower price, but they double it later. Auto Express gave a somewhat higher initial price, but stuck to the price and delivered early. It was money well spent! Auto Express offers good value. read more

LIFE SAVER - another broker company kept moving the pick up date and failed to provide a carrier as contracted before my 6 am flight Saturday. I now only had hours to find someone to move 3 cars before moving Rhode Island. Craig responded to my late night yelp message within minutes on Friday night. A+ SERVICE - Craig not only took another customer to the airport that night in a similar situation, he drove back and forth from downtown to mission valley fours times to help move the cars. INVALUABLE SERVICE- I was able to track my vehicles and IG (@autoexpress123) post of them on the truck. AFFORDABLE - Craig knew I was against the wall and did not take advantage. I received an appropriate and affordable price. So glad I found Auto express 123. I WILL DEFINITELY USE AGAIN AND SUGGEST TO EVERYONE!!!! read more

Highly recommend this business to transport your vehicle. Craig takes pride in his business. No sales pitch, which was the main reason why I went with him. From the time they pick up your car he will either video or take photos. Upon delivery they update you and make the release fast and easy. Thank you again! I will definitely use you again in the future. read more

Okay first off all.. RUDE. They're so rude any questions you have you're better off looking it up. They don't want to answer just try to rush you off the phone. We were given many estimates of pickup but we're in the end given the run around. When we booked they said Monday, Monday comes nothing, called they say 48hrs that came and went, finally got a driver Friday. After another estimate. Whatever somewhat not their fault. Driver came was rude and tried to SCAM!! While he was 6 ish hrs out from delivering he called and said he wanted 600 dollars upon delivery. Called the people they said that the driver isn't supposed to contact you. So.... Take that as you will. Car finally gets to delivery point driver holds the car hostage... we call after 15 minutes to see what's going on, apparently the person whom is in charge of the payments hadn't sent it... they say it's being handled now. 20 minutes later call again say they're still handing it. An HOUR later the driver finally hands the keys over after an attitude and multiple times of asking. All in all wouldn't use them again very rude, very disrespectful, not worth the hassle. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I have regularly shipped cars across the country for the past 10 years and Auto Express is the BEST company I've ever worked with. Most companies in this biz are brokers - they post your job, get a price (which almost always is higher than the broker's initial estimate) and you get who knows what moving your car. Auto Express handles the shopping so the price and timeline are guaranteed. Communication is excellent. And Craig and Quinn are great to deal with - flexible and responsive. I will never again ship a car with anyone else. read more

Craig and his team are outstanding in all aspects - communication, respect, courtesy, knowledge and professionalism are beyond exemplary. He also took considerable time to explain the critical differences between professional, legitimate, experienced vehicle shippers with their own trucks and in-house dispatch versus the other guys, of which a vast majority in my recent experience seem to be salespeople with little practical knowledge about vehicle shipping and dubious lowball pricing which may have little to do with the final cost you'll actually be paying, and whose trucks and drivers are from an online bid board, with no actual working relationship with the salesperson. We set up shipping on a Friday - the car was picked up Monday, and arrived Tuesday, shipping from Illinois to Texas in 24 hours! read more

My vehicle arrived 2 days before it was scheduled in the same condition it was picked up. Craig is awesome and the communication was a 10/10 from beginning to end.
