GBThey will cancel on you last minute! Ive written about my experience on other rating boards but since USA Auto Transport is a large company I'd like to share my experiences here too. Ultimately I cannot recommend this company. The short version of my experience is that I signed paperwork with them in early May to ship my car in July from Virginia to Oregon. I was given a 3 day window (July 5th - July 7th). I was meant to fly out on Friday July 8th so the timing was very important to me. On July 6th I was told that there would be no driver coming to get my car. I never got a true explanation. I asked if this was a time issue or a money issue and they could not tell me. With less than 48 hours noticed I was told by the person I was working with that I should find another company to ship my car (not very encouraging) or I would need to find a way to leave my car in Virginia for a future pickup date (not an option since I didnt know anyone in the area who could watch my car). Less than 48 hours to do something I planned almost 2 months ago. In the end I had to go with another company at almost twice the price (over 3k vs the 1.8k that USA Auto Transport quoted me for) for a last minute delivery. Please save yourself the headache of getting a last minute cancellation. You dont want to be packing your bags 2 night before your cross country flight only to have someone cancel on you last minute. If I book something almost 2 months in advance with a signed contract I expect to have services rendered on the agreed dates or else what is the point in agreeing to work with a company. The only saving grace from this company is that their employees are kind, but at a certain point kindness cant compensate for a stressful experience.

GBCar Shipping Pros USA Auto Transport was great. Shipped my BMW to NYC with them. It was easy to set up, easy to track and the rates were easy to understanding. Pricing was definitely competitive. The best is they were able to get started 2 days after I called. I booked last minute and they were able to meet my demands. Great hospitality when picking up my car. Thank You!

GBTwo Different BOL’s provided to use against me, Fraud. USA auto Transport delivered damaged car to me. After I complained about the damages, the BOL picture was changed to trick me to think that the damage was already there. Fortunately, all towing companies, use a third party system to upload official BOL. And the Official BOL did Not have those damages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trying to be fair with this review, but once you cross the line to change a legal document against me for a service I paid to you - Game on. Poor Customer service, Delayed pick up of vehicle, 10 business days late on delivery of car and damaged rim without signing BOL (Bill of lading) Used USA Auto transport to deliver an Audi from Texas to the east coast. *Pick up window was not honored (delayed and not within pickup window) *Transportation of car was not communicated with an approximate Estimated date of arrival. *Poor customer service *Delivery of car was 10 business days late. *** Wheel rim damage Car was finally delivered, and no Bill of Lading provided. Now I personally have to contact insurance and file claim. I would not recommend this company as they did not manage expectations or provided adequate information on status of car delivery. They are brokers. One thing they did on time was charge my credit card.

GBVery bad experience USA Auto Transport is not a trucking company. They are broker. So there is no tracking, no accurate ETA. You will know when your car will be picked up or delivered 1 hours ahead. Throughout the process, they didn’t tell me when there were delays. Every time I called they told me car will be delivered “today” or “tomorrow”. Finally on the delivery date, which is about 10 days later than their estimate, an unknown number called me out of blue saying my car was outside. I ran down and saw a guy standing next to my car. I asked for bill of lading to sign but the driver doesn’t have it. There was a big scratch/dent on the wheel rims which were not there before. But I was not given the bill of lading to report the damage. I complained my damages through email and phone calls to USA Auto Transport. They said they will report to insurance company and asked for before/after pictures. They later on send me their copy of bill of lading (without my signature of course, PDF version) with multiple damages noted as “pick up damages”. Note this is after I told them what was damaged (wheel rims). The attached PDF version of bill of lading also had a link to a third party website (superdispatch.com), the link shows my actual online BOL which also has a picture to show pickup damages. The two pictures are DIFFERENT. The only differences are on the wheel rims. So they sent me a PDF report with many added damages that I already reported and was going to claim the damages were already there when the car was picked up. But they forgot to remove the link in the report which leads me to the actual online report. This is not ethical. I don’t think what they did is even legal. PS: you gave to go through all the troubles yourself to file for a claim with insurance company. USA Auto Transport is not gonna help you with anything.

GB5 star effort Very reliable for shipping across the state. They just finished delivering my son's new Toyota Camry and he couldn't be happier. It was an early graduation gift and we wanted it to be a surprise. So the driver even went as far as timing the delivery for when our son was home. The car was picked up from the dealership was on schedule and the vehicle arrived safely! It only took to days to from Philly to Phoenix. Definitely a 5 star effort.
