We try to go door-to-door on both ends if there is truck access. Vehicles are transported on large, semi-trucks so if you live on a narrow street, we may have to coordinate a pickup/delivery at a nearby parking lot or shopping center where there is ample space for the truck to maneuver to load/unload the vehicle. In special cases you may also drop off/pick up your vehicle at our temperature-controlled storage located at 3025 142nd Ave E st 102 Sumner, WA 98390 if you prefer.
Yes, we request that you, or a designated person over the age of 18 must be present upon pick up and/or delivery of your vehicle. An inspection is performed during both at pick-up and delivery and a contract bill of lading must be signed.
A coast to coast vehicle transport trip usually takes from 7 to 10 days. Shorter auto shipping trips can take from 1 to 7 days, depending on the distance. Traffic, inclement weather, truck breakdowns, seasonal fluctuations and other unforeseen events may delay the auto shipping of your vehicle. Pickup and delivery dates are estimated but are not guaranteed, but do not worry we will always be in contact keeping you updated.
Drivers are trained to carefully look over a car before it is loaded to note any scratch/ding/dent, anything, and everything to acknowledge the condition of the car before it is loaded.
