Direct Express Auto Transport is one of the largest auto shipping companies in America with over 21,000 vehicles shipped annually. The company is one of the very few that is Accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB has rated Direct Express "A+". Most of the companies with hundreds or even thousands of reviews on this board are not accredited by the BBB, or if they are, have a low rating. Over 90% of Direct Express Auto Transport customer vehicles ship inside of one week. The small number of complaints relative to its huge size has everything to do with the professional care of the Customer Service team. While not perfect, they have an amazing record of success. Please keep that in mind when considering your next auto transport move.

    Response:Our outstanding reputation including A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau speaks for itself. The issue was not Cedarburg, Wisconsin where customer Scott Volkert of Newman Chevrolet is located, but rather, the destination of Chico, California about 100 miles north of Sacramento. It takes longer to amalgamate a full load on that run, unless you do what Mr. Volkert did and pay $256 more to another broker (he did not disclose the extra money), which anybody can do that. We wish Scott Volkert well in all his future endeavors and encourage him to compare apples to apples. [ view ]

    Response:Our outstanding reputation including A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau speaks for itself. Customer Conrad Eenhuis made his vehicle available before actually paying for it and completing the paperwork, so the dealership would not release it. Mr. Eenhuis then called us Thursday to say that his vehicle would be finally ready Friday, and we assigned another driver Monday morning (today). It will be picked up Tuesday, which is really fantastic service. We kindly suggest that Mr. Conrad Eenhuis wait to own a vehicle before trying to ship it. We wish Mr. Eenhuis lots of luck with that and all his future endeavors. [ view ]
