(using or used this MC number) | Tristar Trucking | | | | | We currently ship approximately 5000 cars per year, our only additional charges consist of 2 different types of services, standard service 5-10 day pickup priority service 1-4 day pickup, these services are calculated from the first available pickup date given to us by the customer. Our service is outstanding as to pickup and delivery, customer service and knowledge of the industry which is extensive.
unfortunately there are people or companies [competitors] out there that play games and submit bad reviews in order to hurt us, even though what they say is not true. The customers also do not read the order and do not ask questions, as they should.
All the reviews reflect the same complaint the difference between the priority and standard service which is really the fault of the customer trying to choose standard and ask for priority on there order.
As you can see 97% of our customers have submitted no reviews, I guess that should tell you something, do we have to contact the customers that were satisified to place good reviews just to appease the customer. |

| Fairway is a scam | | I'll take credit for a few of my own failures first: 1. I didn't do enough research. Had I just looked up this company online, this review site comes up first and I never would have given this dude a dime. 2. I bought the lie. The email about 1... [ More ] |

| Warning!! Never Use Fairway Auto Transport Inc. | | Horrible Experience. Do not use.
The car was 12 days late and $650 OVER the price quoted. These people are dishonest and not up front at best. I called the third week of June for a pick up any time before Friday the 16th of July and was quoted $875... [ More ] | | this customer is way off the additional charge was for the terminal which he ordered, not us and expected us to pay for. He did not pay anything more than the original contract according to the trucker, unfortunately the original trucker cancelled and a new trucker was hired. [ view ] |

According to the Better Business Bureaus there is a complaint against them which in their website they claim there is not, also it should be noted they have an “F” rating B... [ More ] | | We never lie or cheat any customer they just want to pay what they want, and completely disregard the contract even though they have signed and admit that they did not read it.
there is no way to handle this problem and of course we are always wrong according to them. [ view ] |

| CHEATED OUT OF MONEY | | ON 6-14-10 I ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT WITH FAIRWAY AUTO TRANSPORT TO SHIP MY AUTO FROM TEXAS TO WIS. THE CONTRACT PRICE WAS $520. FIRST AVAILABLE DATE FOR PICK UP WAS 6-17-10. CAR WAS PICKED UP ON 6-23-10 (7 DAYS FROM FIRST AVAILABLE DATE OF THE 17TH)... [ More ] | | the original pickup date according to the contract was 6/18, the car was picked up by Mapletree Transport on 6/23 and delivered on 6/26, this constituted a 4-5 day pickup at a contract price of $150.00 additional, so every step of the way the customer does not tell the truth. He also does not indicate here that the car was a 55 chev belair and when i told him that i would need a little more money, he said go ahead.
I guess that he has nothing better to do with his life ??????????????
What kind of chance is he giving he is not due the money. Unfortunately he even lied to the BBB, no one held his car hostage, the trucker was instructed to collect an amount and that is what he did. [ view ] |
| |
| SCAM DO NOT USE THEM!!!! | | I called to verfy with them the price and they said whatever we quoted you is the price, but when the driver delivers the car the price was different. Then I called them and they saided make excusses and says all this crap and jacks up the price. W... [ More ] |

| DO NOT TRUST | | Do NOT trust this company. I read a few other reviews on the web and dismissed them. Why? Because the price was good.
But here's what happened:
1. Fairway asked me to wire them money because there was a "problem" with my credit ca... [ More ] | | this man is an out and out liar, he was told that if it was a priority shipment there would be additional money due, he cheated the driver out of the money and caused nothing but problems for no reason. The contract was very clear and he signed it and then refutes it, so who is lying and cheats ????
We should have demanded $275.00 additional but only charged him 140.00, since that is what had to be given to the driver, he did not pay the 140.00 and is still complaining, this is a matter for small claims court.
We never held ourselves out to be a trucker, we are a broker and the contract states that.
The police should never have gotten involved in this since this is a civil matter and should have been handled as such.
If this customer would be honest and tell the truth would be the best for everyone. [ view ] |

| Fairway Transport | | DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY: I spoke with Ben on 06/04/2010 for a specific pick up date for my car from MA to CA (june 17). I told him that I will leave MA next day after the pick up day. He garranteed the pick up date and quoted my at $875.00. On Ju... [ More ] | | We only charge based on the contract and the provisions therein, this customer has reservations after signing the contract, which is always the case and refuses to pay at the end.
We cannot overcome this problem since no one wants to pay!!!!!!! [ view ] |

| TERRIBLE | | Jonathan was sooo rude. They were almost a month late picking up the car. Once they had the car, they told us it was inoperable and charged us an extra $200 from the quote. The car was fine! My husband drove it right off the trailer and home. My husb... [ More ] | | We had told this customer many times that we were having trouble getting a truck to do this route, they said that keep trying, we indicated that we would need additional money to induce a driver to take it [paragraph#] of terms and conditions, as a result a driver called immediately and wanted the car, he also wanted $100.00 additional, then he charged additional $100.00, due to the deceit of the customer not telling us that the car did not run, the car was also an inoperable vehicle rather than a running vehicle.
I guess that the customer wanted the job done for nothing and never thought to tell us the truth about the condition of the car.
Now after the car is delivered the customer has reservations about there being untruthful to us from the beginning. [ view ] |

| Fairway Auto Is not Professional | | Like most of the other reviewers I received an email from Ben Davidson (Vice President) saying that he had a cancellation and that he could offer me a discount. I originally got a quote from fairway and decided not to go with them because of the pri... [ More ] | | this customer has posted the contract which clearly indicates what she signed and returned, which states the services that we provide, she neglected to inform us and therefore assumed the type of service as per the contract, which clearly spells it out.
there is no reason for this review and Johnson trucking is my trucker and that who was hired to move her car. [ view ] |

| **Scammers** the reviews do not lie | | I talked to Ben because he said he had one spot left and a truck would be in my area, he gave me a guaranteed pickup date. He said i needed to pay the 175 deposit to keep that day and the remainder of $565 to the driver. Well that was a lie my car wa... [ More ] | | this customer was full aware of the additional charge for a 1-4 pickup, of course when the car was being delivered she complained of the charge, but never complained before and constantly kept calling as to when the car was being picked up, it was picked up in the time frame requested and unfortunately must pay for the service requested, as to the extra charge the customer received the contract immediately upon booking the order and could have called and said something or cancelled and received a full refund, but she neglected to do so and now is blaming it on us. Again we only have 1 additional charge, priority service and it is spelled out very clearly in the contract, I guess that she did not want to read. [ view ] |

| AVOID THESE SCAMMERS LIKE THE PLAGUE | | Let me give you the run down in cold hard facts:
1. Date agreed to pick up car 5/21/2010 Date picked up 6/2/2010
2.Price quote with "no surprise fees" $595 actual cost $845
3. Customer service= Horrible
Ben Davidson... [ More ] | | this customer is a liar, since we even forwarded the email notification to him, who is "scamming" who ?? This customer booked the order on 5/19 and the car was picked up on 6/2, he could have cancelled after 10 days and the deposit would have been refunded. We have every intention to sue this individual if in fact we lose any orders over his lies. The additional $250.00 was requested before pickup by email, no reply was ever received and he played dumb and indicated that he never received the email ????? I guess that he thinks everyone is ignorant. [ view ] |

| Hidden Charges | | This company promised a $315 totally inclusive rate when I booked. The problem was when Ben Davidson said that I could respond by either faxing back the contract or responding via e-mail.
My response was 5 - 10 day p/u was fine but that Ben had r... [ More ] | | this customer placed the order on 5/26 with a 5/28 pickup date this was clearly within the 1-4 day pickup range, as a result the custom,er was charged an additional $225.00 instead of $275.00 as per the shipping order. The customer never even bothered to respond to the shipping order and never even signed it or called to question anything.
The original quote that the customer received reflected the 2 types of services and should have been chosen by the customer. See original quotation below:
I guess that this customer does business this way and by the way to accommodate his pickup date we had to pay the trucker additional.

| moving car | | Jonathan told me car would be picked up within 5 days. After 17 days car was never moved and Jonathan twice lied and said car would be picked up the next day. He wanted deposit before doing anything at least my deposit was returned. [ View ] | | this customer was told repeatedly that we were having problems securing a truck going upstate new york, and was offered his money back, he indicated that we should keep trying to move the car. He was never told 5 days but he chose standard pickup which is 5-10 days from the original pickup date which was 5/10/2010, he was refunded his money within the time frame and told that we could not sevure the truck.
The customer now has it on the board for some time with 2 other companies [LOepke Auto transport and Erin & Bills transport for a lesser trucker pay than we had it on for, I guess that they will have the same review placed when they cannot move the car.
