Looking for a Car Shipper

well... MY CAR IS ON ITS WAY TO GEORGIA!!

i have to give a big shout out to "John R" at All Day Auto Transport - [email protected] 754-229-2434

i've dealt with several REALLY annoying and unprofessional brokers during this mission of getting a parts car from New York to Pittsburgh then Pittsburgh to Cleveland Georgia. one was a REAL scam - Aspera Auto Shipping out of Atlanta. they did the classic "bait and switch" deal with giving me a low ball quote from Pittsburgh to Georgia, then took my credit card number to "keep on file" until they securred a trucker, then NEVER contacted me again!! i'm actually thinking about suing them just for jerking me around.

but let me tell you how "John" acted from All Day Auto Transport. he securred transport of my car which was PACKED with extra parts along with several separate boxes of parts from NY to Pittsburgh in TWO DAYS! he got a guy with an ENCLOSED trailer to drag the car and all the extra parts to my house for $750.00. the car was dropped off and i unloaded all the parts and took all remaining removable parts off of the body shell then listed the car again on UShip for the trip from Pittsburgh to Cleveland, Georgia.

this second route turned out to be a real hassell. i got ridiculous bids ($2200.00) and numerous calls from "nutty" brokers who didn't seem to know much at all about cars. i put up with this madness for a couple of days. then i decided to cal John back and asked him if he could help out again. that was this past tuesday (21st). he said he would start working on it right away. thursday he sent me an email saying he was running into problems with drivers not wanting to mess with the casters on my car, but said he would stay on the project for me. after i talked to him, i sent a couple of messages to people here on FABO trying to see if something might work out with one of them.

AS A COMPLETE SURPRISE... my phone rang this morning (sat the 25th) at around 10:00 a.m. and it was John from All Day Auto. he said: "i've got a truck that can pick your car up in about an hour." i could NOT have been more surprised. but the call gets better. John goes on to say that the driver just dropped a car in wheeling, w.va. (about 40 miles south of my house and right on I-70 and I-79) and that he's got an ENCLOSED car trailer and that we can do this deal to Atlanta for $850 - $200 broker fee and $650 for the driver. it took me about 3 seconds to tell john - "yea, i'll do that deal."

sure enough, my cell phone rings about 20 minutes after i accepted the deal with John and it was the driver. he arrived at my house about 30 minutes after that, we loaded the body shell and he took off for Atlanta.

i've shipped 8 vehicles now from all over the U.S. i get mildly upset every time i have to arranged another shipment because it's the same annoying process EVERY time!! but with the way "John R" handled the two "turn around" shipments i just did, i'll definatelly will be using him again. i called him after the car left and told him i'll be in touch when my M-Code Barracuda is ready to leave AMD.

i don't have "a dog in this fight" regarding All Day Auto Transport. i don't know "John" nor am i getting any "kick back" from this positive comment. my only purpose here is to pass along what appears to be a very good and reasonably priced auto shipping contact for anyone out there who may need this service.

as far as i was concerned, having a car brought from upstate NY to Pittsburgh in an enclosed trailer with extra parts for $750 and then the same car dragged to Cleveland, Georgia in an ENCLOSED trailer for $850 is about as cheap as you can move cars these days. the same broker - John - put together both these deals.
