Exact same price from 3 years ago. They are fast, seamless and delivers earlier than promised with no issues. Very economical $1050.00. They requested more of a deposit this time around ($300). Last time it was ($150). I am very pleased which is why I keep using them. read more

Fast response and great communication from start to finish. Thank you Lepke Auto will definitely be recommending and using you guys in the future. Thank you read more

Professional and delivered earlier than expected. Thorough review of car before it was picked up so there were not surprises

I have used these guys now twice to ship a vehicle from Florida to California and both times I have been thoroughly impressed with not only the price but the service. They responded quickly and communicated the hold time door to door service. read more

I had a really good experience with Lepke. The driver was a great communicator and my vehicle arrived at its destination on the expected day. I also thought the value was great - $725 for Austin, TX to Chicago, IL. read more

I've used this service twice! I always find Lepke Auto Transport to have the cheapest prices and most reliable services. The latest time I used them, my car was shipped very quickly. I am very pleased! read more

Initially scheduled a car to be transported about 3 months in advance (Chicago to Phoenix). Was then told they had to cancel it, and told me to reschedule about 3 weeks in advance because of fluctuations in gas prices. Original quote was $925. When I rescheduled, it ended up being $1,050. Car was picked up and delivered in a timely manner. The car arrived with scratch mark damage to the rear bumper as if it was from the license plate frame of another vehicle. Driver (from "No Limit") said he didn't know what happened. Price was a little steep and the car arrived with damage, so 3 stars instead of 5. read more

I had my Lexus shipped from LA to Philly last May. The process was very smooth and professional. Car arrived without any issues. The price is the most reasonable among all the quotes I got. Highly recommended. read more

I have never shipped my car before, so I was skeptical. Tobias was amazing and answered all of my questions. My car was picked up on time and it actually arrived early. All of the drivers that I interacted with were amazing as well. I am very pleased that I used Lepke Auto Transport. read more

very good transport...reliable and easy to communicate with...used them 3 times and will continue to...thanks...

I lead a coordinated group of new 2021 Ford Bronco buyers that purchased our trucks from an out of state dealer. We need our new Broncos transported safely and quickly from Iowa to Colorado. My personal Bronco delivery (and four others) were in the first batch of deliveries in late November. Tobias was great to work with, the delivery of our trucks was exceptional, and we plan to continue working with Lepke Transport throughout 2022 and 2023 to transport another 100+ new Broncos for our group. Five star service! read more

I shipped my JEEP from Merrick Long Island to Seattle Washington. They were in touch with me during the whole process and Zachary our representative was efficient and really helpful! They did an excellent job and got the JEEP to me right on time! read more

I have used Mr. Lepke to ship three vehicles to Chicago, one from the west coast, one from Kentucky, and one from the Gulf of Mexico. All three transactions went well. I had previously used another carrier whose prices were a little lower. However, when his driver wrecked his truck that was carrying my vehicle, I never heard a word from the guy. I had no idea what happened to my car until I found out from other sources. The whole thing was a mess and I was done with that company, the savings weren't worth it. Lepke's prices are great, he is fully insured, is a good communicator and sends over contract documents to be signed. Everything is upfront and out in the open. No funny business, nothing dishonest. read more

This IS your car transport company! Tobias hands-down has the best rates you will find! I have used him twice and have received superior service. Highly recommend! read more

I have never used a service like this before. Used Yelp and called a few places. They had the best communication with me as well as a fair price. I shipped my Aunt's car from Florida to Indiana. Meeting up with the driver was easy. He called multiple times to coordinate the loading. Then, in Indiana, he called multiple times again to coordinate the drop off. Great communication. In a week where nothing went right, this was the bright spot. Great to work with. read more

They have the best prices and the car was shipped on time as promised in perfect condition! thank you Tobias!

Update. He's a complete con artist. Read all the real reviews because some are fake. He tried to keep his business with me by telling me he would lower the price and of course with MORE LIES. How does he expect anyone to train trust with clients if he keeps repeating the same actions. All he cared about was me changing my review but no way. He showed his true colors. Beware not everyone is nice and honest. read more

Found Lepke through a friend and shipped 2 cars (one was non-operational which can be a bid hassle). But no problem for Lepke, they found a transporter in about a week. Thank you Tobias read more

We have used them several times. Very quick to respond, professional, and has picked up and delivered our car always on time. Highly recommended! read more

I would not use them if you have a very tight deadline. I was shipping my car to my brother and they arrived a day late and then on that day, delayed several times. They did (eventually) call to notify me, but it's annoying to wait around home wondered where the heck they are. It arrived to him on time, though. I think the fundamental problem is that other customers cause delays and therefore you get delayed. Take pictures of your car before they come because the damage they indicate on their sheet is over the top. They mark every little scratch and in the end it looked as if they were saying 100% of the car was scratched. Otherwise I found them friendly and straightforward. No hidden charges and nothing shady. Based on my research of this and other similar companies I would say that if you accept that the fact that you can't rely on a specific pick-up date, you will save yourself a lot of stress. read more

They did a great job transporting my car from Cali to Mass. The driver was very kind and down to earth. Plus they were the most cost effective to service I could find for my needs, will 100% recommend and return to if needed again read more

Bought a used car and had it shipped from Chicago to St Louis. These guys were the best price quoted by far so I was a little skeptical. Once I got all the details worked out, they picked up the car the next day then delivered it one day later to my driveway. The car was transported carefully and had no damage from transport. Great service and I would definitely use again read more

I had a good experience with my first time shipping of a car. Unless you know a shipper, you need to go through a good broker, and I found Lepke to be good. Everything went as told to me. I was able to communicate directly with the shipper/ driver once he was assigned the job. My car arrived in the same condition it was picked up in. read more

LEPKE AUTO TRANSPORT does not vet their carriers nor do they refund money if the carrier THEY CHOOSE damages or totals out your vehicle. Yes I have a insurance claim open however the $150 deposit should be returned because the driver totaled out my car. Do not use them they are snobs, and link you up with criminals. The driver is trying to pay me off and make repairs outside of me making an insurance claim. The carrier they hired for me dropped my car off in front of a liquor store it is not DOOR TO DOOR service as advertised or as in the contract. Now I have no car & this Lepke Auto doesn't even have the common decency to return the $150 deposit made to Lepke Auto. Apparently they believe as long as your car is delivered no matter the condition they fulfilled their obligation. IM ON TO THE "BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU" TO LEAVE A REVIEW AS WELL. If you want your car delivered in the same condition as you left it, do not use lepke auto transport, they lack the professionalism & best practices to find your a responsible carrier. read more

Really great service. I was a bit worried because of the mixed reviews, but I'm very glad I went with them. The price was very competitive, the pickup happened the day after I placed the order, and my vehicle was delivered in 2 business days (almost 2k miles away). Great work Lepke team! read more

This was the first time I've ever shipped a car and Lepke Auto Transport did a great job. Given how many negative reviews auto transport companies get it was easy to be nervous but the only hiccup is the car was picked up 2 days later than originally told, and I believe it was weather related. Shipped from Buffalo New York to Phoenix in four days for $1250.00, and this was the cheapest quote of the 6 companies I looked at. read more

As good as it gets, indeed! Recently had an SUV transported coast to coast CA to Beantown very uneventfully. Found broker Tobias curteous, responsive & informative, exactly what a professional business individual should be. Would strongly recommend! read more

Friendly and quick response. Market comprable rates Quick,safe delivery of my vehicle They included pictures before pick up. I will recommend them. read more

Horrible service would not recommend anyone to use this. He had told us our car would be able to be picked up Monday. Here we are Thursday and car is still not picked up and we are pay 40.00 a day for it to be parked. Called today and he told me he said Monday or Tuesday will buddy it's Thursday and still not picked up! He just said he will cancel the order and doesn't want my money. If you want customer service like that then good luck. read more

This is my second car shipped through Lepke in two years. I have been very happy with both experiences. Good communications, delivered on time with no damage. I would definitely use them again in the future. read more

1. This is a broker. They do not own their own vehicles. 2. They do not know how to prioritize or know BASIC customer service. 3. Customer service is lacking basic communication and sense of urgency. THE SITUATION: Moving from Chicago to San Francisco. I contacted this company for a quote about 2 months before we were expected to move. Got a quote of $1,100 for an 8 passenger van (Chevy Express). Great right!? No. Called about the quote the week before we were expected to move and they raised the price by $50. Okay, it's only $50...FINE. Let's do it. Told him (Tobias) to send me the paperwork and we agreed to the terms. Told the guy my boyfriend would pay for the deposit ($150). The guy told my boyfriend that he would call us back to tell us when the driver would be able to come get the car (he estimated that they could get the car on Tuesday or Wednesday). This was Friday. We called them on Saturday, asked what the status was. Left a message. Fine...maybe they will get back to us later in the day. NOTHING. Sunday, CLOSED. Monday, called- NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE ALL DAY. Tuesday- called and asked WTF is going on and his reply: "Uh- sorry I've been working on that and I can't find a driver. I might be able to get someone like next week or something, but it's hard." THIS IS YOUR JOB. TO FIND A TRUCK AND SHIP AUTOMOBILES. HOW IS THIS HARD?! I told him that if he didn't want our business we would have gladly like to know so we didn't have to waist so much time. We have to move like NOW, and this has delayed us horribly. His reply: "Uh, sorry about that, I'm trying to find a truck- I'll see if I can find one" So, now we are left to find another auto mover and the prices will go up because it is last minute. Thanks Lepke, for wasting valuable time during our move. Result: Blacklist. Conclusion: Find an auto mover that IS NOT a broker. And please for the love of God, do not call these people unless you would like your time to be wasted when you are already stressing out about making a cross country move. read more

I contacted Lepke Auto Transport about transporting my personal vehicle from Dallas Texas. I spoke with Tobias Lepke and he told me that he owned the trucking comany and that it would be his truck that would pick up my car and deliver it to me. He said he had an office in Dallas, TX and that is where the transport truck was located. He asked me to give him the information about the pick-up address, etc and he would give me a quote. I gave him the information and he sent me a quote but then he said I would have to pay him $150 up front with a credit card and then pay the driver $400 in cash only once the car was delivered. I thought this set-up sounded kind of strange. He assured me that he was the owner of the truck that would transport my car. I was thinking about it and then he started calling me relentlessly, trying to get me to sign the forms he had emailed to me and give him my credit card number. I did not feel comfortable with the way he was doing business and told him I was going to go with another company and not to call me again. The next day, my friend in Dallas who has my car received a call from the driver of a company called A.S. Trucking and the driver told my friend that they work with Lepke and that I had authorized Lepke to pick-up my car. They informed my friend that they were on their way to his apartment to pick up my car. I told my friend that I had not authorized anyone to pick-up my car and to not let them have it. I called Tobias Lepke and told him I had not authorized him to pick up my car and in fact had told him I did not want to do business with his company. He started arguing with me, called me names, and hung-up on me. Here he tried to have a driver pick-up my car without my authorization and also falsely telling me he owned the truck company that would pick-up my car. I had not emailed him back the forms he wanted me to sign nor had I given him my credit card information. I assume his plan was to hold my car for ransom and not deliver it to me until I paid him the $550 up front. Later I discovered that he does not even have an actually physical office in Dallas, TX but only a "virtual" office address that is just a mailing address that appears to be a physical address. In fact, I found that on his website that he lists offices all over the U.S. but they are all only "virtual" offices where he pays an executive suite company, like Meridian Business Centers, a monthly fee for an address which is just like a P.O. Box but has a suite number. If you type in the address that was on his contract of 2432 W. Polk, Chicago into Google Maps & then click "Street View", you will see it is an apartment complex. Tobias Lepke is just one guy working out of his apartment that tries to deceive people into thinking he has a large trucking company with offices across the U.S. His whole operation is really just a scam and am surprised he is still in business as it appears he has been running this operation for quite a while. read more

From the initial call to delivery was very easy to work with and pricing was very reasonable too.

I recommend avoiding Lepke Auto Transport. It was the worst service I have ever experienced. Tobias, the proprietor, is dishonest and unreliable (see third paragraph for my experience). What may not be clear is that Lepke Auto Transport is just a broker that charges $100-300 for a service that an individual can do with a little research. They make no reliability claim and the price increases. Also note the 4 complaints on the Better Business Bureau website: http://www.bbb.org/chicago/business-reviews/auto-transporters-and-drive-away-companies/lepke-auto-transport-in-chicago-il-88229919 Tobias will tell you that his family has been in the business for 30 years, and that he has done this for 5 years. He says that he moves 1500 cars a year. Unfortunately, the Lekpe client can count on an increase to the agreed upon price 16-17% of the time and the delivery commitment not being met at least 5% of the time (these are his numbers, so they probably increase in real transactions). My experience started with a contract to move a car from the east coast to California. I was told it would cost $1100 and that it would take 3 weeks. All fine. I had to move the date once, but with plenty of advanced notice. Two days before the car was to be picked up I was told the price had gone up by $200. At this point Tobias and I talked about service recovery and how important reputation is in the digital age. He did not understand the issue and hence this review. In the end I paid the extra because I was under time constraints. The car arrived one day late and was delivered by an unreliable carrier that probably only operates through brokers to maintain separation from the final customer. read more

Great service transporting my truck. The only issue I had was basically an unrealistic expectation that they can pick up & or drop off on any particular day. My daughter only had limited availability to be there when it was picked up. It was picked up a day early so that left me scrambling to get my POC to the remote location where the truck was. Same with the delivery - it also showed up a day early which left me scrambling hard to get all that cash together based on my work schedule. It all worked out in the end & yes, I would recommend them to anyone. Vehicle was delivered in an undamaged state in a very fast manner. Thanks & I look forward to any possible future transports. read more

They were very quick and responsive when getting me a quote. They matched me with the driver very quickly and the driver was very nice. He picked my car up on time and dropped off in a timely fashion and I had no issues. They were very professional from the booking service to the driver and also very accommodating. I would def recommend read more

I have now shipped 3 vehicles with Lepke, and in each case it was affordable, efficient, prompt, and damage-free. Vehicle 1: Black BMW from San Fran to DC. Picked up on correct day and time. Delivered on correct day and time. Car flawless. Driver courteous. Vehicle 2: Mercedes from California to Atlanta. Same as vehicle 1. Great! Vehicle 3: Lifted Bronco. I had it scheduled with a truck that did not require a winch. At last minute truck would not start. Lepke rescheduled and found a winch truck with no additional fees within just a few days. Made it cross-counry quickly and efficiently, with no damage at all. Customer service was fantastic, sense of urgency was absolute, and drivers were excellent. read more
