SGT Auto Transport
Customer Reviews
SGT sent me an email (Credit Card charge $72.00) a day after I had already found a driver from another company. When I called SGT and told them that I was charged $72.00 and asked them to make a corre

I contracted with SGT Auto Transport for shipping my vehicle in August 2024. I originally agreed to an open trailer for around $1,800 with guaranteed pickup on 8/18. On the day of pickup, SGT told me
SGT Auto Transport is a predatory scam operation disguised as a legitimate business. What should have been a simple California to Florida car transport became a nightmare of extortion and incompetence
I booked with SGT Auto Transport because they guaranteed their quote was FINAL—no extra fees, no price hikes, period. They assured me they would never come back asking for more money. That was a blat
Beware of SGT Auto Transport's draconian and double-standard cancellation policy! Be sure to carefully read the 11-page contract (!) they send you to sign (unlike any of the other 5 auto transport com
Based on my personal experience, I would counsel users to explore transport options. I will first say that I did receive my vehicle about two weeks after I initiated my request, but my experience was
Do not believe their price match promise, they do not honor it. I was going to book with SGT, I received an agreement by email, in it was the wrong car information so did not e-sign it. Minutes late
Great service. Driver was great at communicating pickup and delivery window and status during transport.

SGT transported my car from NY to California in 8 days. They are prompt. The driver delivered the car around 9 pm since it was his last deliver.
Their service is great. the only downside is they give you only one day notice on when to pick up the car.

They will literally say ANYTHING including yes, we have a carrier the night before they "guaranteed" a pick up day and then completely go silent, because in fact, they didn't have a carrier and no it really wasn't a "guarantee" even after they demanded more money for a "guarantee". Maybe this is the way they all work, bait and switch, promise a pickup without ever having a sure carrier. The whole situation sucks. I believed them when they said the process would be smooth, they absolutely would deliver the car, blah blah blah. My fault. Don't make it yours.

Crooks!!
They "guaranteed" me that their quoted rate of $950 would not change. On the final day of available pickup, they jumped the price to $1,120! They knew I couldn't say no.
Communication was also terrible - no notice of pickup, and I had to contact them multiple times to get a notice of when it was going to be delivered. When I did finally did get an update, I had to race home to take delivery as the driver was less than an hour away.
Don't fall for it like I did. I've used Montway Auto Transport in the past, and wish I would have used them again. Night and day difference in business professionalism.

From the start I felt in my gut not to go with this company, but I did. They got me a driver immediately, but after mentioning a military discount, I was told no, because the contract was already booked and agreed upon. Well that driver canceled, so now a new driver had to be found. I asked then could I have the military discount and they refused because even though a new driver was not yet found, a price was agreed upon, which was false with a new driver. Once my vehicle arrives, the driver strapped my car down with straps through the wheels, which damaged them. While the driver is unloading my car, he floors the vehicle in reverse which almost runs me over and rips his cable down off of his ramp. This is all on video. This is not an "experienced" driver in my opinion. It has now been 21 days since I was told I would get refunded due to the damage of my wheels. I sent in a quote to get the wheels fixed and they refused the quote saying it was fake. I had the same company get a new quote with their card as well attached to the quote. I was then told I would be paid on Monday, for the second time and no response as usual. I always get an email saying the carrier has agreed to pay, but won't. Also a business that does their transactions through Venmo, cash app, etc. seems shady to me and it is.
THE COMPANY IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES. They stated they can only see if the driver will pay for the damages, which he refuses. DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE.

So close to being five star. The first few interactions I had were so good. The initial assessment of my needs and the quote. I received a written contract that stated no hidden fees. But then I received the call that they had a carrier for me, they said they needed 150.00 more. I didn't want to start over, so haggled a bit and finally got them down some. But still paid about 100 more than quoted. The saving grace for their rating is the carrier they contracted. JR Logistics 305 is who handled pick up and delivery. Communicated with me through each step with professionalism and courtesy.

The reviews are true! This was the best transport process I have ever had. I spoke with Dan originally and he was kind and thorough in explaining the process. I paid a little extra to guarantee pickup of my vehicle from Florida to Michigan and delivery was around 24 hours. Not bad! I had called in multiple times to confirm details and all the staff was friendly and certain.. I will use them again for sure. Simply, the best.

My car has been siting for 4 days in Florida (the pick up location). It should be in the destination or close by today. I suspect they are holding it until they get more cars to sign on. I would never use this company again. Now I'm sitting on hold for who knows how long! What a waste of time and energy dealing with this so-called company. Once they get their money they have know idea what's going on with the transporter.

These people know how to run a business. They are honest and constantly provide updates before, during and after the move. We will certainly use them again.

This was the best value out of the three quotes l obtained to transport my vehicle from WA to FL. My vehicle arrived in good condition and a day before the estimated arrival time. I will use SGT again and recommend them to family and friends.

Very bad communication. Was trying to ship my 2011 Hyundai Sonata from CA to NJ for school. After agreeing to the contract I gave STG a month of advance on my pick up window. As the pickup window approached they were very unresponsive and as the pickup window came and passed we still received very little information on when the car would potentially be shipped. Eventually had to cancel the contract days after the pickup window and go with someone else. For the price, this company is very inconsistent and unreliable.

In reply to the owner's response, I can show the dispatch email with my order number.
We lined up SGT to transport my mom's car from IA to FL for the end of December. The pick up date was Dec. 26-28. After no pick up on those dates, my mom called and they told her they were working on it but did not have a driver for her car. It was now the afternoon of Dec. 29 and still no driver. They did not help her with the situation at all. She was flying out and her car was still in IA. Absolutely horrible service. I would NOT recommend them!!

I have shipped my car twice, and never will again. I appreciate their customer service team being readily available and of course, my car made it safely both times, which is why I am giving them 4 stars. However, moving forward I will be going through the carrier directly to save money. When you have a company calling you to ask you when your vehicle has been picked up, it doesn't make you feel like they're in the loop at all. They can call the driver for you to get updates but it's just easier to contact the driver directly and plus they didn't always get back to me when I inquired about the driver or the location of my car. They truly have no clue what's going on with your vehicle. It's much easier to work directly with the carrier after you find one you can trust. There were also insane disparities in the pick up and delivery dates, which were very inconvenient.

Update: I did email feedback after getting a response from the company on Yelp and while I appreciate them taking the time to respond and to try to make it right the gesture was pretty weak given all the promises that were made upfront when trying to get my business. It's one of those better than nothing situations but I'd rather not have gone through the experience in the first place and prefer they honor what was initially promised.
Gave me a very reasonable quote and I went with them because they had good reviews on Google and a competitive quote. They also told me they would find someone within a 3 day window so I gave them my window. Day 1 they called me during the work day while I was in meetings, I come out and call back and the spot is gone so I continue to wait and they call me on the last day I would be available to get the car to them telling me it would be 142 more than the initial quote and that was all they could do. Left me in a terrible position because I need to get my car shipped and I won't be in town past today to get it shipped. The explanation given to me was that they gave me the lowest possible quote but couldn't guarantee that price. Felt like I got duped pretty hard, very unhappy with my experience.
Update: I communicated to SGT the hours the car was supposed to be delivered and I told the driver the hours and he told me no problem I'll deliver it during those ours. Fast forward I get a call from the shop that the driver trying to drop the car after after they close. So after promising to find me someone that would be high caliber they find a guy that can't follow simple instructions.
Very pleased with this prompt and careful delivery of my classic 1955 MG from snow y Iowa to Sunn. Thanks for a good job just as advertised.

Terrible and disorganized communication among their representatives. False promises of booking my shipment the next day and marking it "high priority" which led to no action. I never got any update unless I reached out and even had to call the carrier for updates and arranging pick-up contact which is the broker's duty!!! They ended up booking someone without the right equipment with respect to pick up location which led to a cancellation. A week later, my vehicle was still waiting for pickup even after I had relayed to the representatives that I was on a tight timeline as I'll be out of state in 2 weeks. They refused to let me cancel the shipment so I had to do so through uShip.
SGT is a terrible company with lying reps that make false promises. Do you like terrible communication, never being updated or being given inaccurate information when they do, and not having your car picked up or delivered in a reasonable time span? If so, use this company!

Simply made the entire process easy and seamless. Did everything they said they would do. Showed up on time and transported my vehicles quicker than I thought possible and no issues whatsoever. I never post reviews but I had to share with others my awesome experience. I'm planning on reaching out to SGT in a few months for another transportation.
I received my car in less than a week. The driver maintained a good communication near the date of delivery. Had a good experience shipping car from CA to NY.
This company is not legit. I contacted them via their website to get a free quote and they said they will not provide it without an email and phone number. When I asked them to just give me a quote without this information they declined and sent me away.
Seems like their website is just a place to collected customer information and phone numbers to send spam to later.
I guess they aren't really big about customer service or actually providing quotes and transporting cars. Other companies are in the market, do not chose this one.
Service was good (not great) when getting quote.
After they set up driver to pick it up it was all over with. Had to meet driver at parking lot because he said couldn't fit his truck down by my street. Had 2 cars transported and moving truck with no problems fitting on the street. Delivery was a day late and when he called to deliver said I would have to meet him 3 miles from house to pick up. Called customer service and repeatedly put on hold. Plenty of room for a truck to deliver to residence.
Met him and wanted to argue constantly and almost fought. If you want your vehicle delivered without hassles, look somewhere else!
SGT Auto Transport worked out well for transporting our vehicle across country. They were very attentive and sent emails and messages to keep us updated. One thing to note is if they estimate your vehicle arrival to be 7-10 days and you plan your move around those days, let the company know. Our vehicle arrived early in 6 days and they demanded someone be there to pick it up but our flight was arriving late on the 6th day and we had to scramble to have a friend meet the driver. We were lucky we had a friend to help, others may not have that friend available.
This company was excellent. They picked up a car for me across the country at an import impound. Communicated clearly. Flexible on delivery. Arrived early. I would use them again thank you
Do NOT use this auto transport. First, they don't answer their phones. Next, they lie about having full insurance - they have their drivers have insurance.
Bottom line, they were to ship my daughters car from San Antonio TX to Dallas TX, and the driver totaled her (new to her) car. The car was wrecked on Saturday, she was expecting a Saturday delivery, and could not get in touch with anyone. She was contacted on Monday at 3:00 PM and told that the car was in a wreck and would she still like it delivered!! She asked what the damage was and the person calling her did not know. Just said it was in a wreck. - Well, the roof was torn off.
DO NOT USE THEM! ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE.
ZERO STARS

Initial booking with SGT Auto transport 7/11/2023
Car first available pick up date 7/12/2023
Quoted a pick up date no later than 7/16/2023
There was a date even earlier 7/13/2023, however, that dispatch was canceled due to undisclosed circumstances.
My credit card was charged $215.00USD.
7/16/2023 comes around and no update or contact from SGT.
I made several attempts to contact and get an answer, however, I was given the runaround.
I could not get through on the phone, and when I did, I was put on hold for 30 plus min.
So instead I had to resort to chatting online.
I chatted with the reps like:
"Mike",
"Michael",
"Christian" (the worst I had contact with)
"Oliver"
"Philip" (Who at one point stopped helping ( I think he was just telling me what I wanted to hear, actually wrote "We have said what you want.") and ended the chat mid-conversation no longer responding.) He told me a colleague "Luke" would contact me "as soon as possible". "Luke" never did contact me. Then "Philip" told me "Luke" had left for the day.
I called the SGT, got through by some miracle and spoke with said "Luke". When I asked "Philip" he said "Luke" must have come back.
Then "Deborah"(who didn't even respond in the chat - (the one robot that didn't turn on)) - anyway I think they're all the same person - and they still could not give me an answer. At one point I could only get "Deborah" on the chat and she did not respond at all. I tried countless times.
They are a bunch of liars! Do not trust these deceitful people.
I did not ask for compensation, an apology or refund, I just wanted my car picked up and transported from LA to NM like I paid for.
I just want others to be aware of this middle-man company.
And those little reviews that keep popping up in the lower left corner of the screen are the true definition of "bogus".
Do NOT use this company. Sell your car, gift it to someone, donate it, drive it to your destination, whatever, however, do not, I repeat DO NOT use SGT Auto Transport!
On a positive note, yes, there actually is one, the transporter, Nadim was AWESOME. He kept in touch the entire time: texting, calling, checking in.
Got the car here on 7/19.
*I had to give it a star to post it. Please note, I give it no stars!
Stay away. Nothing more than a dispatch company who hires carriers . Have every excuse for late delivery,lack of communications and damage or missing parts. All 3 were part of my contract.
The company SGT hired to transport my Truck were fast and professional. They showed up and took care of everything if I ever need to transport another vehicle I will call them for sure.
All went according to plan, but I haven't actually seen my car yet in person. So can not say if there was any damage or unexpected issues with it. My brother accepted car at destination on my behalf. Price was better for enclosed transport than other quotes I received.
Do not schedule your car shipping with this company! I wouldn't even give them a star if I could. I schedule with them months in advance and even followed up with them weeks and days prior because they didn't give me an exact date just a window and had to leave my vehicle with a friend and ship it with another company. Their customer service representatives will lie and tell you that your car is guaranteed to be shipped during the window which is a lie. To add to the mess they called me the day after I tried to cancel due to them not filling the order and they told me they could pick it up the next day but I would have to pay more. Go with another service if you want a hassle-free experience. Another company picked it up and shipped it across the country with no issues.
The communication is horrible!! It is now the third day after my vehicle was supposed to be picked up and I have called each day multiple times for an update and all anyone will tell me is "we are working on it." I have to wait on hold forever and each time I talk to someone, they cannot give me an update. Their hold message only talks about "reliable service" but I have not experienced that yet!
We hired this organization to move my father's vehicle from Phoenix to Castle Rock. I was told we could put items in the vehicle so my father left a small tool box he was going to need once he relocated to Castle Rock, CO. My father is 89 years old. The transport company they contracted with stole the tool box. We know they did because we opened the truck while they were there to move it around then handed them the keys. The transport company also dropped the car at the entrance to our neighborhood rather than bringing it to our home which we paid for.
I would not recommend this group or the group they
1st thing you need to understand is that SGT is not the one that actually picks up and drops off your vehicle. They are a broker (i.e. middle man) that then contracts out to a 3rd party transport company. The process to schedule the transport was fairly straightforward. I paid extra to set up a guaranteed pickup date as we were on a strict timetable. The dropoff date was more flexible. I received email confirmations. The only reason why I am giving 4 stars is that I did not receive any updates the day prior and the day off the pickup date. I had to call and wait on hold an average of 30 minutes both days before I was able to speak with anyone. After I did speak with someone, then they were better about sending me updates as they still had not selected an actual transport truck. When they did, I was sent the transport truck's contact info who I had to call and actually set up the pickup date/time and location with the driver. From that point forward, all the communication and coordination is with the 3rd party transport company and the driver. I had no issues with the transport driver and he was able to give me an estimated drop off date. He delivered on the expected date, we just had to coordinate the time. Overall a decent experience but you will need to be proactive with the communication and coordination. Will I use SGT again? yes as it was overall a good experience.
Excellent communication and prompt response. Prices seems to be competitive with the market and worth the provided service. Very good experience and strongly recommended.
On 05Apr2023 I contracted with SGT Auto Transport for an enclosed shipment of 2 vehicles from CA to TX. The pickup date (as indicated on the agreement) was to be on 24Apr (and as late as 25Apr). In verbal discussions with SGT Auto representatives, I made clear that i wanted the vehicles to be picked up on 24Apr and no later than 25Apr. I also stated to SGT Auto that my household goods were being picked up on 25Apr and that I would be driving to Yuma AZ on 25Apr. SGT Auto representatives made it clear that the vehicles would be picked up on 24Apr or 25Apr at the latest and the total cost was $2250. That is what I understood; that is what SGT Auto represented; I would NOT have agreed to other terms. While we were involved in packing and dealing with the moving company that came to pick up the household goods on the morning of 25Apr I had to deal with the last minute "scrambling" of SGT Auto attempting to get a shipper for our vehicles. Late on 25Apr SGT Auto offered to have someone pick up the vehicles at 11PM; this is not acceptable; not what was stated to me by SGT Auto representatives when I signed the contract with them. 11PM is not a normal time to conduct business and certainly not acceptable. SGT Auto then said that they could have someone pick up the vehicles at a later time/day - 26Apr; a day after we departed by car from CA. On 24Apr one of the SGT auto representatives stated that because of the problems that we incurred the contract amount would be REDUCED not INCREASED. Later in the day on 25Apr when SGT did find a shipper to transport the vehicles. SGT Auto stated that the price would go UP from the original price of $2250 to $2850. Additionally, the pickup date changed to 26Apr; a day after we departed CA. We had to arrange to have someone release the vehicles after we departed. We had no choice but to accept the new increased price. SGT Auto did not honor their original contract price that was signed on 05Apr (dollar amount or timing of pickup). We had to arrange for someone to release the vehicles to the shipper; we departed CA early evening on 25Apr. A very stressful experience. I will never do business with SGT again. Terrible customer service from their phone center and the services that they provided.
Second time using them. Not the cheapest but very reliable!
Gave them a 3 day pickup window from Massachusetts to Florida. They picked up first day.
They inspect with photos before pickup and at delivery!
Highly recommended!
I had an SUV transported from Louisiana to California. They quoted me a delivery date of Monday and even the paperwork said it would be no later than Monday. I took off work that day to make sure I was there to receive the car. Around noon I called them and they said there was a delay due to traffic and it would arrive on Tuesday.
I took Tuesday off work to receive the car. Around noon I called and they said there was another delay and it would be arriving Wednesday morning. I was forced to take another day off work. Wednesday rolls around and nothing. I called them around 1pm and they said a wheel fell off the transport truck and the car would arrive on Thursday. There is nothing I could do but take ANOTHER day off work(4 total). It did finally arrive in excellent condition on Thursday.
Everything went well except for the constant delays. The only reason I found out about the delays was because I called them. If I never called them and kept checking in I would have no idea when the car would be coming!
The service was good but the communication was very poor. I understand that traffic and a wheel falling off the transport truck are things that you cannot anticipate. Being delayed from Monday all the way to Thursday without communication, and with a "No later than Monday" delivery date is unacceptable. I don't know what my employer thinks of me taking 4 days off in a row just to receive a car delivery!
I had a bad experience with SGT. Overall they had poor commuication, bad customer services and didn't stick to their quoted price and pickup and delivery dates.
Horrible company! Very dishonest! Stay far away from them! I believe they are con artists. I also believe that their reviews are manipulated. I believe their reviews should be laying on the floor. I also believe that they do business under other auto transport company names to play shell games with consumers.
I highly recommend SGT for auto transport. I contacted many similar companies and not only did SGT beat the price they also gave great service with excellent communication throughout the process. They found me a shipper right away and the entire cross country journey went smoothly.
I am sorry, I forgot the drivers name. He was professional, knowledgeable and took amazing care of my car. He is an asset to your organization and needs to be recognized. Thank you
I used SGT this past week and they were beyond amazing! They picked up my car in the time frame we agreed and delivered my car 3 days before the expected delivery date. They kept in contact with me the entire time so I could track my car's journey.
I would undoubtedly use them again. The customer service from beginning to end was unmatched.
Thank you for delivering my car is perfect condition!
Received a call about picking up my car. The cost to ship was $300 more than quoted. I was told that the car would be picked up Saturday 6pm, and delivered Sunday. Car wasn't picked up until 730 and it's been 4 days and the car is not here. I called SGT and was told the car would be delivered Tues in the morning. It's now 1130am and I haven't heard from the driver. I have lost time from work, was lied to about the delivery day and paid $300 more than quoted. Extremely poor customer service. Would not recommend this company to transport a bike in the future!
I wanted to share my recent experience with SGT Transport, and unfortunately, it was far from satisfactory. The issues I encountered with this company include poor communication, inflexibility, and unjustified additional charges. I feel compelled to warn others about my negative experience and strongly advise against using their services.
Firstly, the communication challenges with SGT Transport were incredibly frustrating. The drivers, both of whom were Eastern Europeans in my case, had a very limited command of the English language. This made it exceedingly difficult to effectively communicate my needs and concerns. I had hoped for polite and considerate interactions during this important move, but unfortunately, the drivers displayed a rude and blunt attitude. Their approach consistently seemed to be "my way or the highway," which was highly disappointing.
When it came to the vehicle pickup, I encountered further issues. Instead of accommodating my request to pick up the car from our location, the SGT driver insisted that I drive the vehicle to a more convenient location for them. This demand was completely unreasonable and left me perplexed.
Even more concerning was the situation with the vehicle delivery. Despite providing ample notice about a change in the delivery location while the driver was still 8 hours away, he flatly refused to deliver the car as requested, even though the distance was the same as the original delivery location. The reason provided was, once again, their convenience. They expected us to travel 90 minutes from our hotel to meet them, and when I expressed my disagreement, the driver went so far as to threaten to hold our vehicle "hostage." This behavior was completely unprofessional and unacceptable.
Ultimately, to have our car delivered to the desired location, we reluctantly agreed to pay an additional $200. This charge felt unjustified and coercive, as it was a direct result of SGT Transport's refusal to accommodate our reasonable requests.
In conclusion, my experience with SGT Transport was highly disappointing. Their poor communication, inflexibility, and unjustified extra charges left me with a strong recommendation to avoid this company entirely. If you have a move planned and want peace of mind regarding your vehicle transport, I strongly urge you to seek alternative options and steer clear of SGT Transport.
I was very happy with SGT. they were very communicative from day one. the contracts were clear and easy to understand. Sergei, my driver, was wonderful. he got my car from LA to Philly in five days! and he was easily reached by text and very responsive.
I shipped my car in May and I thought the price was a good deal. I was able to pack my car with lots of belongings for an additional charge, but it was totally worth it.
Would use SGT again!
very simple and easy transaction. my vehicle was picked up exactly when we wanted and delivered to us 3 days later. the driver was courteous and on time. would recommend this company. thanks
could not have had a better experience. I know there are a lot of positive and negative reviews on the shipping companies for vehicles, but they gave me a competitive rate. Pick the car up the day they said they would. our driver was three hours later than he thought he would be I completely understood with traffic. The same thing happened when he delivered the vehicle but again I was completely understanding. They pick the car up in San Diego on Tuesday night and delivered it Sunday afternoon. Like I said, I could not have been more happy with the experience. Everyone communicated extremely well. And I would give this company a five star review all day long.
SGT was selected via a broker so I had no decision, but I had no issues, they were responsive, on time, and also affordable. What more can u ask for?
Pickup was delayed by a few hours but they communicated well. The office always answered and had answers to our questions quickly. Drop off was quick and easy.
We decided to use the services. However, we found a better option and canceled the service a day latter; now we are dealing with the collection agency, stating we own they money for not performing service.
Please be carful before you decide to go with them. Make sure you read the cancellation policy.
Unethical as hell... just had a car picked up from the company SGT contracts with called Thomaz Thrucking out of Framingham, MA. The driver, Odair demanded $300.00 cash and said he could not take the car otherwise. We paid for 100 lbs extra cargo through SGT, but still, he insisted on the cash.... It is a Ford Mustang... I showed him that the contents were almost entirely clothing and bedding... but he still said he wanted $300.00. I gave him $200.00 just to shut him up and complete the
Do not do business with these guys! Our car was never picked up. When they finally would answer the phone they said they were trying to find a driver... After 2 weeks we had to find another transporter.
Fast and to the point. Car arrived just fine .
The completion process could be a little smoother and professional with the driver , but overall good experience.
SGT Auto Transport is the epitome of how a company should conduct themselves. They were responsive from the initial contact until my vehicle was delivered. My vehicle was transported from Nevada to Virginia in just under 3 days. Prices are extremely competitive if not better than companies rated lower. 100% satisfied with the company as well as the transport driver. Highly recommend using them for any vehicle transport services.
vehicle was picked a few days after i hired sgt. took a few days to arrive. came in closed trailer for an excellent price. sgt was a great choice.
Absolutely do not recommend this company. We picked them after comparing several online brokers for car shipment, this one initially appeared to have positive reviews however the process for placing the order and providing them the information asked turned out to be a huge hassle. In terms of price they are about in the middle, not the cheapest (by a few hundred dollars) but also not the most expensive.
We were misinformed multiple times by their phone agents that we had signed their shipping agreement and provided all the information that was needed and that our car would be picked up in the next 1-2 days. This is untrue, apparently in their system our order was not processed when we were told on the phone that it was which resulted in multiple delays. Our car has still not been picked up and now they are saying that the latest that it can be picked up is 6 days after our requested pick up day. In our most recent phone call with their hotline, they are now saying that all weekend days, holiday days do not count towards processing time. They are also saying that the day before the Fourth of July, which was Monday 7/3 was also a holiday for them. I wish that they had been 1) transparent about their policy of 1-3 "Business days" pick up to not include weekends or randomly, the day before major holidays and 2) actually being able to check in their system whether or not all order details are in place and everything being ready to be assigned a transporter. Unfortunately despite now 4+ phone calls to their company we have not been able to speak to anyone who appropriately addressed our frustrations and basically keep telling us that everything is fine and keep pushing back the day that the car can be picked up. This is why we do not recommend this company. Look elsewhere if you expect on time pick up.
car arrived in good shape and on time, no complaints
Price was competitive and driver was communicative when coordinating pickup and drop off.
Feedback:
Warn your customers you wont be picking up/delivering at the final locations. I was caught by surprise that I had to meet the driver somewhere.
Be a little more detail oriented. I specified that the contact at delivery wouldn't be me but I had to remind the driver twice.
This was definitely the best price and the communication was excellent throughout. In my case, the car even arrived well ahead of schedule! And everything was just as it had been when I loaded it. The one thing to keep in mind is that it may not be exactly curb to curb. My street is very narrow so I wound up driving it about 2 miles to a parking lot where it could be easily loaded on. This really was not a big deal and well worth saving substantially over other quotes.
Arranged transport for my daughters vehicle from Texas to Virginia. I paid extra for a guaranteed 2 day window. At the end of the second day my daughter called and said the car was still not picked up. I called SGT Auto Transport and asked the status. They could not get ahold of the driver they contracted with and said they would call me back. After 2 hours I still did not hear anything. I asked my daughter to forward the email SGT Auto Transport sent with the driver details. I called the phone number listed and it was a disconnected number. I looked up the business and it had only 1 review (POINTA LOGISTICS LLC). Why would SGT Auto Transport contract with a company with 1 review and a driver phone number that is disconnected. Anyway I had to find a new carrier last minute since my daughter was flying out of the state the next day. DO NOT USE SGT Auto Transport they work with unreliable drivers.
I had two cars shipped with SGT Auto Transport.
The first one went fine, but the second car was a nightmare. I had made the reservations weeks in advance.
For the second car my Telluride they missed the three day window which left me scrambling to make my air flights. Then the called back on the fourth day they said they would charge me MORE money to pick it up.
So they didn't agree to either the price or the days for the quote.
This is unacceptable for a transport company. No negotiation could reduce the price to match what was their quote. This is a shady business practice.
I don't recommend them.
