The delivery and pickup was excellent. My only complaint is that they should not have made this offer, "We are able to price match another company's quote if they are 5 star rated and have been in business for over 2 years. If you have any quotes you would like me to look at, just let me know!". I submitted a quote that met these requirements and they would not match the price. They originally quoted me $780, I provided a quote that met their requirements for $650 and they offered to reduce my quote by $55, instead of the $130. The physical transport was great unfortunately they were unable to meet their pricing guarantee!

Patti, thank you for taking the time to post a review. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to assist you with this transport. Regarding the price match agreement, we do offer to match other 5 star rated brokers pricing if they have been in business for at least 2 years and are highly rated in the industry. We offer to price match their price within reason. We have been in business for nearly 8 years and hand calculate all of our quotes (we DO NOT use an automated system). We felt the other company's quote of $650 was too low to attract a carrier for this transport. We were not confident the vehicle would be assigned within our guaranteed time frame. We did offer to lower the price in good faith. ***For customers looking to transport their vehicles: Please note that Agape Auto Transport will not offer a lower than acceptable quote to earn your business. We offer a quote that is low enough to be attractive but also high enough to be competitive with the current demands in the industry. If a price is too low, the carriers in the industry will pass that vehicle up and take other higher priced vehicles. This is why it is imperative to pick a company that has several years experience and highly rated in the industry.
