Scam
Scam. Beware. Took my deposit, but then ghosted me at pick up time. Eventually responded, said it was my fault for "not paying the real price". Extortion tactics. Stay away.

At Shelby Auto Transport, we are committed to providing exceptional customer satisfaction by delivering reliable and secure transportation for vehicles. Our team of Transportation Specialists ensures that all your needs are met, and your vehicle is handled with the utmost care to provide you with peace of mind.Countless people fall victim to the "bait-and-switch" quote scam in the car shipping industry, where companies offer unrealistically low prices, then suddenly demand hundreds more once your car is hooked up. Shelby Auto Transport breaks this cycle by providing honest, transparent pricing and reliable service from day one.We founded Shelby Auto Transport after watching close friends get burned by the industry's notorious "bait-and-switch" pricing scam. They were quoted a cheap rate to move their family car, only to have the broker demand an extra $600 at the last minute while holding their vehicle hostage. Seeing that stress and dishonesty firsthand broke my heart. We knew families deserved better. We started this company to bring absolute transparency, upfront honesty, and genuine care back to vehicle shipping. We never use fake low prices to trap you; we treat your car like our own.

Just used Shelby Auto Transport to move my son’s car from Los Angeles to Indiana! It was a last minute pick up (another high rated auto transport company dropped the ball!) it was just horrible experience scheduler person did ok communicating but I was getting calls and updates that made no sense from 2-3 different phone numbers telling me they are dispatchers and the I would have to chase the assigned agent down who would give me an update but then 15 mins later give me completely different outcome! Long story short I had to drive 96 miles from Hanover, IN to somewhere outside Cincinnati, OH with my son in the middle of the college drop off time which is a difficult time to pick up the car and drive it back!!! Mind you I have paid for “door-to-door” service. To do so I was promised a discount, not much 8.7% just to basically cover gas for the car “recovery mission” just to face insults from the responsible agent and accusations of posting bad reviews and such. My honest assessment is Shelby is as bad as MOST other transport companies. I would NEVER EVER under any circumstances use Shelby again and neither should any of you looking to transport the car from point A to point B

Agreed delivery on Aug 18th estimated and we've double confirmed dates with broker. But on Aug 15th, broker insulted driver and forced to deliver 3 days earlier than agreed date. They tried to deduct $250 from the payment. They never confirm dates with costumer, They themselves deceived their customers and are generally irresponsible.

Shelby auto and Ray are nothing but professionals from start to finish… this is the 2nd time I’ve used them for cross country car shipping buying and moving. Ray will stay in constant communication with you letting you know where your vehicle is and when it’ll get there. Great communication with the drivers too. No upsell or holding your vehicles hostage, what your quoted is what you get and some of the lowest quotes I’ve found- thanks again Ray- BV

Irresponsible and scam broker
Response from Shelby Auto TransportMay 22, 2026
The negative review posted here comes from a location in Georgia (country in Europe) not from USA, which makes it clear this is not from a real customer of ours. We want to clarify for our customers that Shelby Auto Transport is a U.S.-based auto transport company. We operate only within the United States and do not provide any international services. Shelby Auto Transport is not a broker, we are a direct auto transport service provider. Unfortunately, competitors sometimes post false reviews in an attempt to mislead people. Please know that this review does not reflect our business practices or the experiences of our actual customers. We encourage you to read the many genuine reviews from real clients who have shipped their vehicles with us successfully. Shelby Auto Transport remains committed to transparency, reliability, and professional service.
