I've never shippped a car before. We needed to send my 22 year old daughters car across the country, where she'll be living for the next year. I had requested the car be delivered to a place two hours north of Seattle. The number of companies on the internet is overwhelming but we sent out requests for quotes.

A day or two into our search, Mike from Safeway called me to discuss his estimate. He explained that the location in the northern tip of the country was a tough one for many truckers to reach. He further explained that many would TELL me the car could be delivered there but it would add time and expense that they might not mentioned up front. He explained how having it dropped off closer to Seattle would keep prices and delivery time down. In that converstion, he also gave me a thorough explaination about the car transport business.

Mike's talk was low pressure and honest. I didn't commit right away but in the day or two from his call, not one other broker bothered to explain to me that much about the business. I decided to work with him. I got a sense he was an honest guy, who didn't want to trick me into thinking he'd get my car on a truck tomorrow so I'd sign on with him, but I knew he'd get it on a truck within a reasonable timeframe. Anytime I called to find out if a truck had returned to make pickups in the Northeast, he was patient and explained his thoughts. When he did find a carrier, he found a driver who would go a bit further north, so my daughter's pick up would be easier.

The car is on it's way. I would highly recommend working with Safeway Auto Transport. A few places called me in between the time I signed up with Mike and the actual pickup. They were pushy. The driver was nice and understood my motherly stress about having my daughter pick up the car. I felt confident he'll get it to her. Again, I'd give Safeway Auto Trnasport a big thumbs up and would use them again in a heartbeat.
