    Response:First, I would like to apologize for any miscommunication, but what the customer failed to mention was I found her a reputable carrier at a very discounted rate, I worked diligently on her order, and got her pick up at 26 cents a mile while the market value on this route was 38 cents a mile, I had her picked up in 24 hours and delivered across country in 6 days, unfortunately when the driver got to D.C., the mail highway was having construction and would not let the carrier through, therefore customer was forced to get transportation to meet the driver and wanted me to endure the cost of $60.00 not $100.00 in what it cost her to get there via taxi., How is this Auto Central Direct's fault? I do not know. Refund was never promised as it was explained how can I help the main highway was under construction and not letting certain rigs through. Our recored speaks for itself, customer is number 1 and if we have any faults we have no hesitation to give refund, in this case refund was not warranted. [ view ]

    Response:There is no order ID we never had a customer like that. Even if we did which we couldnt find we obviously didnt take any funds from the customer and we were looking for a carrier for the price that he was looking for. We would recommend him higher if it was the scenario. So we never had a customer like that and 2 even if we did we didnt charge him anything so he cannot complain about doing free work for him [ view ]

    Response:We want to thank Freddie Vassaur for his input in this matter. He makes some good points but is LEAVING OUT SOME KEY FACTS. When Freddie contacted us, he clearly stated that this was a mustang lx, I had a driver to him by the next day so at that point we did charged his card, the driver called us at that point to tell us it WAS NOT a Mustang LX, and it was a MUSTANG MACH ONE which is a BIGGER vehicle, and did not fit on his carrier, so at this point the card was charged because we had it dispatched at what Freddie told us the make and model of the car was, that was Freddie's fault not ours, so after the driver drove 500 miles out of his way to pick up a different car Freddie stated it was he was forced to leave empty handed, minus the fuel and time he spent to pick up. So we put him back on the board and ANOTHER carrier called and said he would pick up the MUSTANG MACH ONE but he wanted additonal money, keep in mind the 1st carrier was doing it at what he was quoted for what Freddie said was MUSTAND LX NOT A MUSTANG MACH ONE, so yes the second carrier wanted more money. Against better judgement we moved forward with Freddie, which proved hurtful for all parties involved. We take full responsibility for any stress or heartache caused in this matter. We as a company will learn and grow from this and have faith that this review will show all of our reviews are legitimate, uncompensated and done out of kindness. We wish Freddie the best moving forward and hope he can find peace in this process. [ view ]

    Response:The customer received a quote, not a guaranteed signed price. At this time where there is a lot of cars coming down from the New Your area to Florida, the carriers are requesting much more to move the cars because they have so many cars to choose from. If the customer can show us that that price was Guaranteed and signed for then she will be able to prove her point. The person who originally took her order does not work for the company, there for she was speaking with our customer service manager Brian, and the owner Erik. Just because we take car of our customers and even the owner gets involved to resolve any problems. Also the company is adding $200 to the customers transport out of the companies side . [ view ]
