They were the cheapest I found, only $540. They did an awesome job of inpecting the car and noting any scratches or dings. My car showed up about 2 weeks later in the same condition it was dropped off in.<br /><br />It was a pretty easy process, I did it all online. Just filled out the quote form, then submitted all the car's info (license plate, vin and color) then paid via credit card. I opted for the "terminal" drop off/pick ups (cheaper) so I just picked a day and drove the car out to the drop off place. They called me when the car showed up 2 weeks later to pick it up.<br /><br />Very easy process, their customer services was pretty good to me as well, answered all my questions. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>venomous99</b> <br /><small>Member # 1917</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,11,15,45,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i shipped out a car recently to ny from cali. i recommmend you check out transportreviews.com to help you make a decision on which carrier to use. <br /><br />also before shipping the car make sure you point out all the flaws w/ the car and takes lots of pictures before they drive off of the outside, inside, everything...that way if there is any question about damage that you suspect occured during transport, you'll have some documentation to prove the car was damaged in their hands. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>fordthunderbird</b> <br /><small>Member # 6794</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,11,15,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> do companys offer open truck shipping? im just curious possibly moving to wisconsin and need to look into all the info pretaining to the move ahead of time. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>username1822</b> <br /><small>Member # 8583</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,11,16,0,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Yup, open truck/trailer is standard method of shipment.
