Learn from the experience of others

Undecided over which auto transport firm to use? You’re not the only one; most people who decide to ship a vehicle only once or twice in a lifetime don’t have any idea of how to begin!

Why not ask someone who’s been there?  Or better yet, a whole bunch of people? It’s easy to find customer reviews online from people who are happy to share their experiences. But be choosy: there are hundreds of review websites out there, all with scores of reviews to sort through, and it’s not always easy to find the legitimate “review” ones. It’s easy, for example, for an individual company to build a website that calls itself a “forum,” then pack it with purchased or made-up “testimonials” that give it glowing reviews! You can usually spot these because they’ll often pick a particular competitor to degrade, or the positive reviews will all have been written within a few days of each other. Check out our blog post on how to spot a trustworthy review for more information!
