Vehicle never picked up
Wasted my time spent 11-12 days waiting for a pickup. I booked another company right away once they weren’t delivering and my car got picked up in less than 48hrs.

Terrible Auto transport and I have very bad experience with this. They damaged my car and they delivered the car scratches on body and mud dirty on the car. They are not at all responding after delivered the car for claim the amount. It is worst experience with this auto transport direct.

Our outstanding reviews speak for itself. We are sorry customer Salini Yaratapalli is dissatisfied with the service. She ordered her Standard Rate (not Rush) shipment on the 16th and it was delivered eight days later on the 24th from Los Angeles to Denver. That is excellent service. Every vehicle going through the Rocky Mountains in the winter months shows up dirty. The carrier asserts that the scratches on her old 2005 Toyota Corolla were pre-existing and rusting. Salini Yaratapalli's vehicle is 12 years old. We wish Ms. Yaratapalli lots of luck in her future endeavors.

Do NOT hire these guys if you value your car. They do not care what happens once you pay, and they do NOT stand behind the job at all!!! I hired them to ship my car across the country and paid for expedited shipping. 1) The shipper did not arrive in the expedited time window so it was a waste to pay for the faster service! 2) The car had damage when it arrived at 10 PM (in a dark lot). I noted the damage the next morning and contacted Direct Express Auto. They just forwarded my email to the trucking company and stopped responding. After 8 days of absolute silence (and 3 emails from me) I filed a complaint with BBB and suddenly the president emailed me with the following email: Good Morning, As you can tell from our email message to Alan Auto Shipping on June 20, 2017, we asked for their explanation and have yet to receive a reply. So we did not ignore you. I also notice that you have not attempted to speak with us on the telephone about this issue. Yet you file complaints everywhere. That is not a very productive way to go about resolving your issue. Most adults would attempt to speak with us. Attached is Alan Auto Shipping's certificate of insurance. You will need to prove they did the damage to your vehicle. If you did not note it upon delivery, then your chances are very slim. It was your responsibility to inspect your vehicle. Good luck, Mike Rupers President Direct Express Auto Transport

All customers are advised to note any physical damage upon delivery. Mr. Paul Dawes failed to do that and is now blaming everyone but himself. At no time did Mr. Dawes call us to discuss his complaint which he readily admits, "is not major damage". We wish Mr. Dawes well and encourage him in the future to follow proper procedure.

We are sorry customer Alysha Hawkins is dissatisfied with the service. We originally assigned Ms. Hawkins a driver two days after she made her vehicle available (May 13th) from Moreno Valley, California going to Killeen, Texas. However, Alysha cancelled that driver and pushed the available date out three more weeks to June 8th.. The problem with that is now her early May pricing did not work in early June. We tried making adjustments but the summer rush of vehicles slowed everything down. It was unfortunate that Ms. Hawkins, or perhaps Ms. Goodman, did not keep her original driver. We wish Alysha Goodman-Hawkins well.

TERRIBLE, Don't know how they got a five star rating. They are very disappointing. Booked a month early. On 4/7/2017 we called and checked to make sure everything was on schedule and was assured we would get an email before the 4/24/2017 estimated date. We never got email or call, so we called on 4/26/2017 and were told we would be contacted in a few days. On May 3 called and said an additional $150 might entice a driver to take the car. In our opinion they are a scam. They low ball the price, keep a friendly voice on the phone and then go in for the kill!! RIP OFF!!!!! WE CANCELLED OUR ORDER. And found an honest company the next day. East Coast transport. The car will be on the transport in 2 days.

I wish I would have gone somewhere else. I would avoid this company. They simply outsourced to another carrier who delivered my vehicle caked in mud and dirt. When I washed it the next day, I found multiple paint chips on the hood and a 9" scratch on the passenger door which the dealership wants to charge me $1,800 to fix. This scratch definitely occurred during transit as this was a Certified Car and the driver noted 2 tiny dealer repair blemishes upon pickup but nothing about the paint chips or the 9" scratch. Company has been completely uncooperative.

I had my car shipped from CA to SC and they took over a week from the Estimated deliver date! i called everyday to see what was wrong with my order and kept telling me the same thing and to call back the next day for a week! Never using this company again!!

My car was shipped from AZ to FL. Firstly it took almost two weeks for the car to be assigned a shipper. The car was delivered a full week AFTER the estimated delivery date, and when it finally did arrive, the interior was a total mess. The battery was dead, and there was zero gas left in the tank! The company that shipped my car was A&Z auto transport. Do yourself a favor and steer clear!
