I am looking for some personal experience in shipping our cars. I want to ship my car from OH to TX in an enclosed auto transport and wanted some real world feedback. The car is currently not running and I want it enclosed transported only. With our cars being worth so much and the cost of replacement covering about what our clutches and turbos are worth....any input or suggestions? What about recommended companies? Thanks.

 

Reliable Carriers seems to be a big choice whenever i go to the big *** nopi show. there is usually about 15 of them on the first and last day delivering and picking up all the "ballin" cars.

 

just make a road trip out of it. DIY.

Insuring it for XX.XX is up to you, just like shipping a package.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Might want to ensure it for something more like XXXXX.XX lol

Hahah.....No doubt. You want a bow on the car when it arrives? I just need to convince the wife to help push the car out to the street when the transporter arrives since I will be out of town.

They don't deliver in Tony's hood. Thanks though man!

 

In a situation where someone else has the car, I remove something so it is impossible to start.
That way nobody is able to start it up and screw it up. Something simple like a ignition wire or fuse.
I have taken a car to the paint shop and told them dont start it and they tried to anyway.

Yeah, its going w/o ecu, intake manifold, turbo, etc. I will box that stuff up and ship it seperately.

 

reliable is definatley the way to go. i always see them moving the display cars for people like scion. i would trust them.

Thanks for all your help guys. With my wack busy schedule and if I have any hopes of making it to E-town for the race in October, gotta make something happen. I ended up scheduling it with Reliable so hopefully that will work out ok. When its done though.....I am going there to get that sucker!

You mean Tony won't pick it up?

 

you could try western auto transport they are here in colorado owned by V. Gaines the nhra pro stock racer they transport cars all over the country

 

Reliable Carriers

 

ask user migs ....I'm sure he could point you in the right direction

Thoughts about putting car parts in the car....turbo manifold covered in the rear and valve cover, etc. All covered in the rear hatch?

 

I know that Swift has enclosed car haulers.

 

Jason, why not put the car on a plane? T1 doesn't have his own fleet of C5-Galaxy's?

What kind of small time shop do you think you're dealing with?

Just have your people drive trailer it down Jason. You don't pay them what you do just to clean your house and cook your meals!

As far as parts in the car, i would imagine it would be safe with any reputable company and if an inventory was done when it left and when it arrives it should keep them accountable should anything come up missing.
