Transporter overstressed my door panels on Audi S4. All four doors no longer watertight.
This review goes back to a transaction on December 2018. We worked with Jennifer. She was very good. The problem with my car was only determined last year by South Jersey Auto Body. The car, a 2004 Audi S4 was shipped to Philadelphia from Denver by BML Transport LLC. We had a very difficult move and after I picked up the car in Philadelphia and took it to the house we were renting in South Jersey until we could find a home to purchase. It was cold and snowy and after I picked up the car I noticed the front half inch of trim on the drivers side door broke off when I opened the door. I was bummed out but I didn't think much about it. I had to much going on. I than noticed ice building up inside the car on the running boards on all four doors. I thought a door seal might be bad but this car had never leaked since I owned it and certainly not on all four doors leaking. I had to buy a car cover to keep the water out. I did not no what was happening and was really upset. It was finally determined later that the door frames had been severely overstressed in transport. The transport guy had actually tightened the chains to much. That's what shoved the door panel trim forward and caused all four door seals to not seal up. It took me a long time to save up for this automobile and it was never the same. I understand too much time has gone by for any recourse. However I trusted Ship A Car Direct to take care of my car and they failed. I didn't have a reference number so I included the quote number if anybody cares. Thank you.

Hi Mike, We're very sorry to hear about this 4 years later as we were under the impression everything was okay with your order. From our experience, the chains are used on the bottom of the car and the wheels so it would not effect the doors at all. If this was brought to our attention when this happened we may have been able to help you, but it's too long to tell if this was the carrier or not. We apologize again that you had to go through that with your car, and if you want to give us another try in the future we will discount our price as a gesture of good faith.
