Eric made my first time shipping a vehicle a breeze. From first contact he was extremely responsive and answered any questions or concerns I had. I had a very loose timeline and was not in a rush to get my newly purchased vehicle from MD to NC but he had my car to me within 2 days! Very fair pricing as well. Would recommend to anyone looking to ship a vehicle. read more

BEWARE OF BEACON! If I could give them zero stars I would. Car arrived 7 days late. Driver was MIA when dispatcher was trying to reach him. I was not told driver was picking up cars along the way. And the worst part was my car was damaged and Beacon and the driver's insurance are not taking any responsibility. According to a new dealership, the hatchback must have struck the car rack above it and cracked the plastic in just the wrong spot. Car looked OK at pick up (even though I was rushed by the driver), but 2-3 days later after driving, the plastic pieces started to break off. DO NOT USE BEACON! read more

Beacon Shipping Logistics - Cracked trunk trim. - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Matt at Beacon Shipping is a liar and a fraud. He claims that a car that I purchased that was shipped to me got water in the oil by its carb stacks. Theres no coolant in the radiator when I inspected it. Matt claims that the reason the water is in the oil is from rain during shipping. He has no way to verify that and lied to me about having a contract, of which there is none! BEWARE OF MATT AND HIS LIES. HE HAD NO CONTRACT WITH ME EITHER AND MADE PLENTY OF CLAIMS AS TO WHY HE THINKS THERES WATER IN THE CARS OIL! read more

I could not be happier with my experience in dealing with Beacon Shipping Logistics!!! Wow, these guys are truly amazing! My 85-year-old father lives in the Attleboro, MA area and he was insistent on driving his car down to Florida. I suggested that we ship his vehicle down there instead and he agreed to letting me help him. Before finding Beacon Shipping Logistics, I contacted several "big box"-style national franchise shipping companies and was consequently given the runaround by them. Unreturned phone calls. Junky AI email responses. Poor customer service. I was so incredibly frustrated!!! Then, I came across Beacon Shipping Logistics while doing research online. Their website (www.beaconshippinglogistics.com) details that they are a not a franchise but instead a local company (based in Warwick, RI) who prides themselves on customer service. Also featured on their website are individual photos of their entire staff (from the owners and production managers to the account managers and accounting department). Very nice touch. I emailed John, the production manager, and within a couple of hours he responded with a very helpful, kindhearted email. His was not a computer-generated stock response, but rather a professional email to just me that included his own personal cell phone number. I thought "This is too good to be true!" We ultimately spoke on the phone and he got some information from me (type of vehicle that my father owns; starting location; shipping destination) and within an hour or so, he emailed me a detailed price quote as well as the following steps. I should also point out that the price was incredibly fair and honestly much less than I was expecting to pay. A few days later, a three-vehicle transport truck arrived in my father's driveway in Attleboro, MA, loaded-up his car, and off it went. Three days later, his car showed up at his home in Florida in perfect condition! The entire process was so incredibly stress-free. Dealing with John on the phone (phone calls and texts) and via email was so wonderful. As it turns out, their website is indeed right....Customer service is clearly a priority!!!! Thanks so much, John, and Beacon Shipping Logistics for making this entire process - one that I had never gone through before - so incredibly easy. Your communication, kindness, and fantastic pricing are truly unmatched. I would recommend Beacon Shipping Logistics to anybody!! If I could give this review more stars, I would! read more

Josh Jerome of Beacon - recommended to me - arranged the. seamless transport of our Porsche Boxster - in an enclosed transport - from Seattle to Millburn NJ in late August. Pick up and delivery were easy; the car came off the truck in perfect condition. The contracted driver was highly professional. I highly recommend Beacon. Pricing was reasonable and the transaction. - from start to finish - was as smooth as silk. read more

Very unhappy with the response, follow-up and failure to deliver on promises of Beacon Shipping. I worked with Clint to have a car shipped to me based on the referral of the dealership. The price was more than other shipping companies quoted me however I went with them based on dealer recommendation. I was not aware that they would subcontract to another shipping company. The car was to be delivered on a Saturday however, I was never updated as to ETA, contact information or any communication from Clint or Beacon. This was communicated by my salesman. When no car showed up I contacted my salesman who informed it would be Tuesday delivery. I spoke with Clint who assured me a Tuesday AM delivery. I took a day off from work so I would receive the vehicle. As the AM went into the PM I called Clint for status. He needed to reach out to the subtracted shipping company who said they were delayed at a different location and it would be delivered later that day. So now 2 wasted days of waiting for delivery. When no update throughout the afternoon I again contacted Clint who said there was an issue with the delivery and it would be pushed to Wed. I explained I would not be able to take time off and the delivery would have to be after I arrived home from work (5:30PM). Clint assured me that would not be a problem and that the delivery truck would need to wait for me to review the vehicle before it would be unloaded. I was then contacted by the subcontracted delivery company to see if I would be available any sooner. After several phone and text conversations and them insisting I find time or someone to receive the vehicle I referred them back to Clint for any future discussions. I arrived home early to find my vehicle in the driveway, locked and no delivery truck around. I contact Clint who eventually finds out the delivery person dropped my vehicle so they could load another one. This is against the agreement we had with Beacon. Finally the delivery person shows up, I sign for the vehichle and receive the keys. I contact Clint who offers to reimburse me for my time and frustrations. After 3-4 followup communications and Clint assuring me of compensation I again have not heard back and can only assume Beacon and Clint hope I will just go away. My recommendation is to search for another company but if you go with Beacon review the contract, get contact information up front and verify the shipping company. Scott read more

Had a great experience shipping a car from California to Florida, would highly recommend this company!

Spoke with the customer service representative Alleyah and she was very helpful and informative got me set up in no time thank you 5 stars

Beacon recently shipped our cars from Rhode Island to Florida. The entire process was easy, shipping arrival was quick, and the driver was excellent. Highly Recommend!! read more

This was my first time having a vehicle shipped and I did plenty of research. I hired another company and they were unable to find a driver for us. Our truck was going from Rhode Island to California. I gave the other company enough time to find a driver (8 days) after getting inpatient we found Beacon and we were helped by Joshua. He was amazing and straight up no BS. He found us a driver the next day. Truck arrived save and we are happy with the result. Do we recommend this company YES! read more

Super happy with their service. Communication was top notch and everything was on schedule. I very highly recommend them.

For some people a car is just a car, but for me, it is my pride and joy. I needed my car safely transported from Providence, Rhode Island to Portland, Oregon. After much research I came across Beacon Shipping Logistics and all of their positive Yelp reviews. Josh was great to deal with. He arranged an enclosed transport and put my mind at ease that it would get there safe. It arrived ahead of schedule, and completely safe as promised. I would not hesitate using Josh's services again, and highly recommend Beacon Shipping Logistics to anyone shipping their daily driver or specialty car across the country. Thanks a million Josh! read more

First let me begin by saying, if you're looking for an awesome transport company look no further! From the first day I communicated with Fred, it was the best communication ever. He kept me up-to-date with the time and estimated delivery date. I purchased my car from out of state and had it transported to my hometown. The car was delivered with no scratches, dents, marks- just perfect! If you are a person like myself who looks for great customer service and the best deal possible, you've come to the right place- Beacon Shipping Logistics is the way to go!!!! Oh how could I forget- this is my 2nd time using this company :) read more

Raya and Beacon Shipping came through and were fantastic! I recently bought a car in Connecticut, but due to the RI Governor's Covid-19 mandate to self-quarantine for 14 days I was unable to pick up the car myself. Preferring to use a local company I came across Beacon Shipping Logistics and inquired about their services. I had gotten quite a few quotes, and while Beacon Shipping was not the lowest quote, they did offer a flat fee and had solid online reviews. Once the car purchase was final, Raya was able to secure a pick-up next day and delivery the subsequent morning. The car arrived in pristine condition. Thank you Raya and Beacon Shipping for great service! read more

I am extremely grateful to Beacon Shipping Logistics for timely and efficient service, never over promising and always over delivering. I originally used BSL last year to transport a Range Rover at the suggestion of the dealership, I didn't know much about shipping and figured the dealership had a good working relationship with BSL. The experience worked out perfectly, the car was a 25th anniversary present for the wife and my surprise for her worked out exactly as I planed. However, I purchased a Maserati a few weeks ago and I meant to call BSL first, I regret I didn't. Again I went with a company the dealer suggested and my experience was horrible, they were almost impossible to contact and my car sat for several days without any drivers willing transport my car. With no prospects in sight, despite of offering hundreds of dollars over normal prices, I canceled my order and called BSL. BSL had my car on a transport that same day and delivered promptly. Again, I greatly appreciate BSL and John Y, you turned a frustrating event into a happy day for me. Next car I ship I will definitely call you first. Raghib T. read more

This was my first time shipping a vehicle and I selected Beacon based on their online reviews and the conversation I had with Josh. They were very easy to work with and managed the shipping of my new car from Rhode Island to Northern California in an enclosed transport. Shipping arrival was quick and the drivers did a great job of ensuring my car was in excellent condition. Highly recommended for peace of mind! read more

After visiting my military son for 15 months in Hawaii, I returned to the mainland. My car was shipped to the Long Beach California port. I found myself in a hard spot when the company I had made a contract with and paid for in full couldn't find a driver. My car surpassed the free grace days allotted. I soon began to incur $15 daily storage fees on top of my paying for a daily car rental fee. I saw I was quickly losing money as my funds m tied up and no hope in sight to get my car! Not knowing what to do, I prayed asking the Lord to pls direct me and show me where to go/what to do. During my search I happened upon a YouTube video of a family being taken advantage of by another auto transport company. I saw a reply by a gentleman, John York who said he worked for Beacon Shipping Logistics and listed his work cell number talking about his disappointments in some of his industry. He offered anyone needing assistance to call him. The most amazing thing happened!!!!!! Not only did John York take my call, but he found a driver within 2 hour's of my car location, had it picked up and pushed to meet my deadline. AMAZINGLY HE MADE IT HAPPEN! He called me, kept me informed, instructing me. I want to express my sincerest and most heartfelt THANK YOU JOHN YORK!!!! I got my car yesterday. And most of all I want to thank THE LORD for directing me and putting John and I on the same path! God bless you Beacon Shipping Logistics and John!!!!! Teresa Rice read more

I recently had a car shipped from Arizona to Texas. Absolutely best customer service experience I have had with a shipping company. Highly recommend. read more

Average service. High prices. Late delivery. Not everything is in their control but I was not even offered any kind of courtesy discount. I wouldn't have accepted if they had but the gesture would have gone a long way. read more

used Beacon shipping logistics on the recommendation of Hyundai Peninsula in California to ship a car from California to Oregon. John York indicated to the dealership that the car would be shipped in the next week. Once I signed a contract, the delivery was extended by another 1-2 weeks and price raised by 300 dollars. While the car was delivered in good condition, the slow delivery, inability to deliver the car in the time manner and increase in price leave me to leave an one star review. While the owner responded below, he definitely stretched what happened. I used this shipper on the advice of the dealer I brought from. I actually received a lower quote calling beacon directly than what the dealership gave me. Buyer beware and use ANY OTHER shipper.. Definitely bait and switch on their end. read more

I usually buy my cars collection from other states, most the time I had bad transportation companies, buy Beacon took my experience to the next level, the met 5 starts in all levels from customer care, professionalism, doing thier best for me, and fast delivery, I received my classic mercedes benz with no single scratch on it as the condition I bought it from the dealership, Im sure all the employees work there are holding high standards but dealt John Casey and I personally highly recommend dealing with, and i saved his information because I will definitely deal with him again. read more

My 86 year old Dad bought a car from Pat. It was apiece of junk and just barely ran, but Pat assured my Dad that he (Pat) would fix everything that was wrong with it. Because my Dad was in desperate need for a car, he gave Pat $3,500 for a 2006 Hundai Santa Fe with 159,000 miles on it. My Dad was just barely able to get it home when the engine seized up and Pat sent his truck out to pick it up. It has been in Pat,s garage for over three months. Pat claims that he is going to put another engine in it and make it right. I'm going to go over and pick up some of my Dad's belongings out of the car because he left the bill of sale in the glove box. Without it it will be tough to prove the sale so we can take him to court and sue him for the $3,500 back. I don't think he will be willing to give the money back as he is known by the WW Police as a "weazel" and very dishonest businessman! I will continue this post once I have picked up the papers from the glove box and notified a lawyer. Please avoid doing any business with Pat's Service Station. His gasoline prices are the lowest in West Warwick, but I assume this is only a ploy to pull in customers for service work by winning their confidence in his "honest" business practices. He is very dishonest. Stay tuned for the conclusion of this saga... read more

Matt at Beacon Shipping is amazing! He was so patient with all my questions and fears of shipping my daughters car from west to east coast. My daughter is in the United States Marine Corps and I have heard of the issues with getting a military member their vehicle. My contract was easy to complete and the invoice was easy to understand. I was very happy to hear the driver who picks up the car would also be the same driver delivering it. Matt understood and assured me I won't pay anything till her car is inspected by her and matches my inspection. Matt and the driver were in constant communication with us. They also understood that the destination was a military base and checked on protocol to determine what is the best way to her car to her. I highly recommend Matt from Beacon Shipping they can ship you very nice classic car or just a cute little toaster box car to your kid in the Marine Corps. Good job Matt! read more

All I can say is wow! My husband and I had purchased a car for my daughter's birthday from a dealership out of state. After waiting over two weeks with another shipping company where we made a deposit...we finally decided to bite the bullet and were preparing to fly in and drive it back (14 hours!!). In a last ditch effort, I searched around and found Beacon Shipping. I left a quote on a Sunday and Raya got back to me that night and sent me a quote. We traded emails a bit (I was slow on my end) and before I knew it her coworker Jason had my car scheduled and delivered to me THE NEXT DAY! Jason kept me informed from pick up to drop off...educated me on the process...and more than that over delivered with our expectations on how quickly we were going to get the car. The car arrived in perfect condition and we can't say enough about how awesome this process and the folks at Beacon were! Thanks so much...definite lifesaver! read more
