I had my car shipped from Seattle, WA to Washington, DC and was referred to Global Auto Transport when I called Seattle Car Shipping. "Rudy" was who always answered the phone. He was extremely patient with me calling him many times about the logistics, deposit and payment, etc. because I'd not shipped a car before. Pickup of my car happened within the 72 hour time window I was given, and delivery actually happened on the shorter end of the estimated time. I had packed a number of boxes into the car very neatly (sight lines were clear for the driver) and GAT didn't give me any hassle about extra weight in the car (although I was afraid I had gone beyond the 100lb. allowance). Car arrived in good shape, although I wish they had put down a paper protector on the driver's side floor mat - it was very muddy. D.C. has rules about big truck haulers on city streets so my car was transferred to a single-car flatbed for delivery at no extra charge. I was able to pay the driver the C.O.D. charge electronically, which was great. Working with GAT was a good experience. read more

Seattle Car Shipping - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I contacted Seattle Car Shipping (SCS) and was connected to Anthony of Global Auto Transportation, I believe one of the owners of the Seattle site. I was very pleased with his communication, and he didn't seem to be annoyed by the endless amount of questions that I had for him. I had never had my car shipped, so I was nervous and I was told so many different things by many places, but something about Anthony kept me calm, and I trusted the reviews on Yelp for SCS. I liked the quote Anthony gave me, and how calm and sure he was of their business. He also replied through email very quickly. There is a direct deposit, and it was reasonable and taken out immediately. I also kept in touch with a very nice lady named Elina C. She was a logistics coordinator and clarified that I'd need to stay in contact with a driver named Igor of Vyrado Logistics in Puyallup. Again, I was a little confused in this whole process being new to this business, but Elina reassured me that nerves are normal and that they'd ship my car in about five days. I was shocked because every other place said that it'd take about 7-10 days, and one place even said two to six weeks, which is odd if they can drive hundreds of miles a day, and Detroit is about 2300 miles. The funny thing is that the ones who said it'd take longer said it'd be safer, but it was more expensive and it'd take longer than what GAT said. I kept in touch with Igor, he was nice to allow me to put a lot in my 2010 Civic (more than the usual amount with no extra fee), took pictures, gave me electronic forms to keep, and then he was off with my car on the carrier. It's nice that they do business door to door. He was also accurate with the times he gave me on pickup, and kept in touch well through phone. He let me know I could pay after he dropped off the car, and that cash was preferable. I forgot that GAT said that the carrier who comes decides what amount I need to pay in, so I called GAT right away and told them I was confused why I needed to pay in cash? They reminded me that again, it's up to carrier, and Igor was flexible also mentioning I could pay cashier's check, money order, or credit card but it'd be an extra 5% by card. I told him I'd have the cash ready. I just received my car about an hour ago, and we are all surprised at how it got here in a timely manner, just five days! It took a little bit just because he had to take the cars off to get my car down safely, but I'd rather have him do it in his own time and well, instead of rush and risk damage. He was very careful with the other cars too, and told me I could wait inside because it was chilly out here. After he was done putting the other cars back, I thanked Igor, and I am overall very pleased with GAT. Car was dusty from going across the country from Tacoma to Detroit, but this was well worth it for such a great price. Thanks guys! Y'all made my day. :) read more

Guys, besides the 5* you read from other reviewers, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be aware of the negative reviews too. Companies always provide excuses for the negative reviews, such as those reviews may be written by their competitors, etc... Let's me tell you this. I found Seattle Car Shipping has an amazing reviews and rating. When I call the no. listed on Yelp, somehow it connected me to Global Auto Transportation. I spoke with Anthony, who repeatedly said his company has lots of drivers, and they are not brokers. However, I don't really care whether or not this company is broker or direct shipping company. I shipped my car from Seattle WA to Lawrenceville GA. The day my car was delivered, I noticed there are several new scratches. I asked the driver how he gonna resolve this. He told me to contact Global Auto Transportation. Fine, I called Anthony several times, he did not pick up the phone. The driver then asked for money in full. The point is, if I paid him in full, who gonna responsible for these scratches. This Russian driver drove my car back to his truck without my permission. I quickly called 911 since this is my property. I recorded a video as he drove my car load back to the truck. He opened my car door and started attacking me. Wow, really? As usual reaction, I stepped back to avoid. Unfortunately, I stopped the video to call back 911 to arrive ASAP. When the police came, the police said my video was not enough to prove the driver's attack. One hr later, I called Global Auto Transportation & spoke to Anthony. I did not really concern about the scratches anymore; rather, it was about the driver attitude. Anthony thought I concerned about the scratches and said, I needed to deal with the driver. The driver had his own insurance. Wow, I even had no idea who these guys were, since the pick-up guy and the delivery guys were 2 different persons. I had no contract with them except the phone no. Wow, is that the way your company do business? Luckily, my car had just a few minor scratches. What if it was a significant damage? Who will be responsible? The drivers? who I only had his phone? This is something that new people should notice. I don't recommend anyone to use this comp. service. Terrible experience for me. Driver attacked customer, wow. I cannot attach a video on Yelp; except Photos. Otherwise, you guys will be able to see the full video read more

Seattle Car Shipping - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Vehicle arrived in good shape, with no hassle with shipping crew. I purchased shipping insurance since our car was new and our auto insurance wouldn't cover a loss at sea if the cargo was lost. The office staff had trouble locating a copy of the insurance policy to provide me after purchasing it, like I was suppose to just trust that it was covered. Hopefully they have that resolved by now. I'd use this company again. read more

Thank you Arthur & Elena and the rest of the crew for a smooth and fast move! I was concerned about getting everything squared away , so glad i found you guys. read more

Seattle Car Shipping - Vehicle Shipping Near Me - Seattle, Washington

After speaking with a bunch of false companies that were just giving me ridiculously low quotes and not moving my vehicle, I don't know whats the point of giving me a low quote just so I can book with them and not actually pick up my car, luckily I contacted Seattle car shipping and they were the first company to actually pick up my car, They told me the price to move my Corolla on that route was 200$ more then the cost the other companies told me, and thats why they couldn't pick up my vehicle, but thankfully these guys picked up my vehicle and delivered no problem.Huge thank you to Anthony. read more

Pros: This service saved me a huge amount of time and money as otherwise I would have needed to take time off work to drive the car to California and then fly back to Washington which would have cost me much more than I paid them. Price was fair, there was no surprise surcharges not mentioned in the car shipping quote. Cons: They arranged for picking up my car on 6/18 but the actual pickup happened on 6/22. It was important to know where my car was but I could hardly reach the driver who actually had the car. It came undamaged but so dirty, the car looked like it had been 4-wheeling. I feel like this field is unregulated which makes things harder. read more

I spoke with Arthur to have a car shipped from Seattle Wa to St Louis Missouri. Total cost door to door under $900! Every other car shipping company wanted to charge on average $200-$400 more. Every part of this transaction went smoothly. They estimated it would take 1 week for delivery, I was lucky enough to receive my car 1 day earlier. The driver called and gave me the ETA and we met at specified location of my choice. My car was in great shape no damages. Very professional company, would highly recommend!!! read more

Initially I was highly impressed with this business. They were very responsive, even over the weekend, and gave a highly competitive quote. I locked in a two day window and specified that the car must be picked up by the end of the second day. I was told I would be contacted by the driver 24-48 hours before pick-up. Mid-day on day one I called to check in and was told a driver was confirmed and would contact me soon. I called again at 3:30 pm and was told that the representative I was working with was unavailable, a driver was indeed confirmed, but the scheduling department had gone home early so they could not provide additional details. I called back at 9:30 the next morning after still not hearing anything and not get a response from the prior day's e-mail to my representative. I was told that a driver was assigned but had rejected the job and they were not able to find anyone else. No apology was made. When I asked when they had planned to inform me that my car was not going to be picked up, they responded with a very rude attitude and explained that they had only been in the office for 30 minutes and seemed bothered by my quesiton. I'm extremely frustrated with this unprofessional operation and would recommend going elsewhere. read more

I had no complaints last year when I used them, but this year was not so great at all. I scheduled the move ten days in advance, but it was picked up six days later. Not only that but they charged me $795 which I thought was pretty steep. The car arrived safe but the delivery happened 15 miles away. read more

Called them on Monday morning 8am and they told me they would do their absolutely best to make something happen by the end of the business day. By noon, they called me back stating that they found a driver for me and then got another phone call at 5pm saying they had some issues with the truck so they had to cancel it and would assign a different one. Got my new driver's info the following morning and the car was picked up at my apartment Thursday morning 10am. Got my vehicle delivered within 3 days. The driver texted me with information on arrival and how close the car was to its destination. He showed up on time to the minute, also the price was the lowest anywhere. read more

Seattle Car Shipping recently shipped my mom's car back to her. She was visiting me down in Ocean Shores and didn't want to drive back home. Luckily, I found out about Seattle Car Shipping and immediately got a quote on how much it would be to ship her car back to Spokane. I was happy with the price and the help from the agent, so I booked her a flight home and had her car shipped back to her. Thanks for the help , Seattle Car Shipping! read more

I started the process early in February. The price was higher so I decided to wait especially I was not in a rush. I met the driver at a predetermined location and the loading went smooth. The driver was REALLY GREAT! He reached out to me to provide updates on when he would deliver the vehicle. Btw, he went out of his way to help me because my car was very low he took the time to make sure it was not damaged to unload. Everything was great! read more

I send out many requests for transporting my 2015 Toyota Camry. Most auto transport companies did not want to go where I was, saying it's not a regular route for them, and they will pay extra to the driver to come and pick my car up, another alternative was that I could take my car 100 miles away to meet the driver, which was impossible since car was not running. Some offered lower bids but then told me it could go higher, a lot of bids were higher than Seattle Car shipping, it was in the middle, but liked their insurance coverage and stayed with its bid. Nick was easy to work with, he quickly put my request on the board and by 2 pm the car transport was scheduled for the price Nick had quoted to me. The trucker was scheduled for the pickup for Tuesday. Nick called me Monday afternoon to inform me of the pickup time. Tuesday morning the driver called at 9 am to let me know they would be there at noon, they were there at 11:30 ! But honestly, I spent about 30 minutes to explain the exact place of my house (the only down side of my experience). They had all necessary tools for loading my car, process took about 45 minutes. The driver told me to inspect my vehicle and to check what I had inside to make sure everything was there. The process happened exactly like Nick said it would. The car was received in the exact condition it was picked up. Not a scratch. My driver actually arrived an hour earlier but waited until the time he said we were to meet, before he called me to meet up. How many drivers would do that? I am very happy I went with you guys. This was my first experience shipping a car and I was skeptical but delighted with the service provided by this auto transport company, and would use them again and recommend them to family and friends. Any time during the transport if I had any questions or concerns Nick Smith was right on top of it and took care of it promptly. read more

I researched car moving companies in Seattle and chose them based on their reviews on yelp. They scheduled the pickup for January 6th, but it ended up actually happening 2 days later on January 8th. Nevertheless, I had to have the car shipped. The other issue was that the driver was late in delivering it to California! It was midnight when he finally arrived with my car. Regardless, it arrived safe with no dents or scratches. read more

The guy who helped me was really quick to take my order. I has a specific pickup date and asked the him to schedule my shipment according to my plans. He promised to do his best to schedule the shipment on the days I requested. I asked to pick up the car on Monday or Tuesday at the latest with the delivery date of Friday or Saturday. But what happened next? The driver called me Monday morning saying the pickup would happen on Thursday. Seriously??? I was so pissed off then I got another call from the driver saying he would arrive on Wednesday morning. The delivery happened on Sunday only-it was a very stressful move. read more

I talked to Arthur.He was a straight shooter from the first conversation. Arthur offered convenient dates and good price for delivering 2 vehicles. The driver not only picked up our vehicles in enclosed transport, but allowed us to send a few backs of miscellaneous items with the car saving us from transporting via plane carry on. The cars were picked up the next morning before our flight to Seattle and delivered in 3 days. The driver had to park a block away, because of the size of his truck. It was delivered right when the sun went down, which meant that flashlights had to be used to check our vehicles to make sure everything was intact. Overall, they were fine so it was cool. read more

They shipped my vehicle 4 days later than expected but free of any damage. It was not damaged but was so filthy that I could not see out of the windshield to drive to a car wash! read more

The shipping was very quick. Only complaint is that both pick up and drop off times were only given about 1 hour prior.

Needed 2 cars shipping from Tacoma,WA to Portland,OR. Elena took the info she needed and scheduled the pickup in a day. I just left the cars at their yard in Tacoma and she took care of everything else. Cars arrived before the date promised. The only problem I had was thAt I was the one calling to ask when the driver was going to arrive. I prefer to be updated instead of the other way. read more

I had 2 cars shipping from Tacoma Washington to Albuquerque New Mexico starting a week prior to my pick up date. I was overwhelmed with calls and emails with a quote from car transport companies in Tacoma WA and it was very difficult to decide who to trust. Thanks to Arthur my mind was set at ease and felt very good about the quote and his knowledge in educating me in how the car transportation business works. I really like how he broke down the transaction fees as well as made sure I'd be secured the most affordable rates available at the particular time, which is the busiest time of year I guess. Actually I had no idea this particular service existed so it helped streamline a massive move that was becoming a pain to say the least. Thank you for the wonderful service! read more

I called and spoke to Adam about shipping my 2007 Honda S2000 from Gig Harbor to Miami on short notice and he took fantastic care of me! Extremely helpful, did what he said he would, when he said he would and was awesome in general. The contractor they hired to do the actual moving of the car was also awesome. I highly recommend this company. :) read more

They assigned a trucker but then canceled it within an hour because he driver could not hold my car until the day I could pick it up. Next one was assigned within a day. The car was picked up the day they said it would and was delivered the anticipated date (four days after pick up). Would definitely use again....If needed. read more

Everyone was so friendly in their office, and they offered good insurance coverage which mattered a lot. It was a brand new car and I wanted to be sure I was covered if anything may have happened to it during the commute. I was offered two options, open carrier transport and enclosed car shipping. I chose enclosed just because it's a newer car and even though it was $300 more than the other it deserves the best transport option available. The driver's name was Jack and he was the nicest guy ever. He picked up my vehicle while I was in route to catch my flight back to Bremerton. My cousin was there to greet him. The car arrived in my city on the correct day and time that I specified during my arrangement with their customer service team. My car arrived clean with no scratches. The only thing I didn't like was that I had to drive about 10 miles to pick my car up, only because the truck was so big it couldn't fit on my street. But, that worked for me ok. If you compare that minor inconvenience to what other people have to go thru with services like this such as; stolen property, late deliveries and damages to their vehicle. I highly recommend them! read more

I actually got sick an could not pick up the vehicle when it was supposed to be delivered, and the driver worked with me to create another delivery time! He went above and beyond and made this a better experience than I had been receiving prior to my car being scheduled for pickup! read more

Their open pricing was really so cool. However, we had a couple of communication glitches early in the process. But then the driver communicated very well throughout the drop-off period and arrived on the time I requested which was perfect. Just a great experience all in all! read more

The first available day for pickup came and went with no call because it became a waiting game for the trucking company to accept the offer due to the low price they offered. Anyways, 6 days after I was contacted by my rep saying that there is one spot available for me for a price we initially agreed on. The carrier, due to traffic, was delayed getting to my home, but he maintained constant communication. The car arrived safe and sound. read more

Best price quote out of everyone. Everything was perfect until they changed the pickup time 5 times. The rep that took the reservation knew that we needed the car to be picked up by Friday! But the pickup happened only Saturday morning. Reason because they were late was not clear AT ALL. I am giving one star bc of the price and one star bc the car arrived undamaged. 2 stars for the service! read more

The driver didn't look caring AT ALL! It was his job, that was it, but the office people were really nice. the first pickupdate was scheduled on the 10NOV16 but the driver didn't show up until 15NOV16, after the the inspection my car was loaded my onto his trailer (It was pretty empty so he had to move had many other customers after me) And called me saying he had to many late customers and the delivery would be delayed by a day . Then I added a day more in my mind, because I new he would be charged to add some more time on the day promised, but Wait!!! Then his truck had some mechanical issues, so we had to wait two more days! Nightmare!!! I have no clue how this can be regulated, or if this the way all companies operate or if this was this company issue, but I guess everyone is like this, overall, I got my car in the same condition so had something to be happy about LOL nd star.? read more

I read the reviews thinking this would be a great option for shipping my car, so I filled out their online form for a quote and never got a response. Then I called a few days later and asked over the phone, and their only response to me was that the distance I needed to ship the car was TOO SHORT! It was ~650 miles. I asked what their minimum distance from Seattle was, and the guy said "I dunno...Ohio?" Nowhere on the website does it say there's a minimum distance--and I've even read a few reviews that mentioned shipping from Seattle to Portland. So what gives? read more

There are many carriers in Seattle and you will likely receive a fair number of bids. I ended up choosing this company based on their reputation and I am very happy I did. Needed to ship my Audi Q7 from Seattle to Miami. They have the best pricing, but will try to tell you you need to pay more for an enclosed carrier, a few hundred more than for open carrier. Trucker and office workers communicated very well and picked up car with no problems. Driver was a cool guy, he did an excellent job. I was hoping for the car to arrive early in Miami, but it was in the state on the day promised yesterday. Unfortunately, the driver called and said the truck had some problems on its road, and was going to delay 2 more days. So I called them to see what's going on, and when could I get my vehicle back, if the trucker was not able to solve the problem needed to ask them to arrange another driver for me, instead they offered me to have the driver to drive the car to my house since its was 65 miles only. I agreed to have the trucker to drive my car the rest of the way. Car came undamaged. They were able to accommodate me and everything worked out great. read more

Had to move one of my vehicles from Chehalis, WA to Buffalo, NY recently and since auto transport services are not cheap and since it was a first time for me I started calling and checking prices a couple of weeks prior to the move. My first surprise was the huge difference in the bids I got. They varied from about $650 to $2,000. Ultimately, though, I selected the auto transport company based on Yelp reviews. Initially I talked to Arthur but the next time I called Elena answered and they worked together to confirm the final price, set up the pickup and drop off dates, and keep me informed as to status as my vehicle was being moved. I had been told that the nature of the auto transport business is such that it's difficult for movers to guarantee exact pickup and drop off dates but I wasn't on a strict schedule. The promised pickup date was a Monday but later appended to the next morning. Delivery was on the exact day and time promised though and Arthur and Elena kept me well informed. My only complaint was that I kept getting put on hold when I called but that's probably because summer is their busy time. Overall, though, I was satisfied with Seattle Car Shipping and can understand that most the issues I had (i.e. like being put on hold) are pretty much the nature of the industry and not their fault. read more

Originally I had planned to tow my truck behind another truck with the two front wheels off the ground, but for safety considerations I decided to call a car mover to ship it. I've used many other carriers prior to them and their work was exceptionally better (and I am pretty demanding when it comes to judging customer service). Arthur was my main point of contact there. He was able to get my vehicle picked up when other companies were too busy. From my experience with other companies it often takes two to three days of advance notice. Luckily for me I was able to get my car shipped the next day and it arrived the day before I needed it. The driver was great and called numerous times with his location and estimated time of arrival. The entire experience was handled in a professional matter. The fees charged were competitive in the market. I would have no hesitation about using them again. read more

I went online and requested quotes on different car carriers in Washington; within 15-20 minutes my email and phone were flooded with quotes from multiple auto transport companies. The quotes varied greatly as low as $950 and as high as $1450. The quote I received from Seattle Car Shipping was for $1150. Elena told me that it would take about 4 days from pickup for the vehicle to be shipped. This was all decided by May 1st. Because I was already going to be in the delivery location on the pickup date, a friend of mine in Marysville was going to be the one to meet the driver at the pickup location and do the initial pickup inspection and hand over the keys. I sent her contact information to Elena via email as well as a request to confirm that pickup would be on May 4th. Elena then asked me for my credit card information so they could charge this initial deposit. She assured me that no charge would be made until the vehicle was picked up. She held to her promise. However, the driver was late about three hours. I called her to see what was going on because my friend was at home waiting for the driver. They said that delays happen frequently in this industry. I told her that based on the online reviews this is not how I expected the shipping to have gone. She assured me that she was working on it and she did fix the issue. She assigned another driver and canceled the previous one. The driver was at the pickup location at 1 p.m. and my friend said that everything went smoothly. Delivery was right on the time promised and the car arrive unblemished. I will definitely be using this auto transport company again. Thanks Elena. Thank you to all involved for your hard work including my driver who was a very nice guy. The price was very fair and their quality of service was excellent. Love the work you do and it is clear even from just the conversation over the phone. Thanks again! read more

Arthur provides quality service at fair rates. The service was far better than I had expected. He picked up the car on the earliest date I told him it was available and dropped it off on my doorstep without an issue. read more

This car shipping company is not one of the best out there but it wasn't the worst either. First of all the driver was late beyond belief. He promised to be there in the morning but didn't arrive until closer to the afternoon. It was very frustrating but a little expected due to other reviews I read about the struggles in this industry. However, this issue was minor considering I was supposed to have the car delivered 5 days earlier. I received a call on the expected delivery day saying there was mechanical issues and I was to expect a delay. I didn't expect a 5 day delay but what can you do. When I finally received the car, it was in good condition but had a nice layer of dirt. Not a big issue but a little on the annoying side. Overall, I give this company 3 stars as the experience I had was a little frustrating. read more
