How to choose the right auto transport company for you

A car is not only an expensive asset, it is an invaluable part of most peoples’ daily lives. When you are without your car the inconvenience and lack of mobility can seriously impact your routine and livelihood.
When you have to transport your vehicle you need the car transport service you’ve entrusted to move your car to live up to their promise.

How does the vehicle transport process work?

The first step is to get an auto transport quote. Do some research. Is the quote for door-to-door service or terminal-to-terminal? Many companies hide that their quotes are for terminal-to-terminal service and will add to the quote if you want door-to-door service.

Next, determine if the company you are researching is an auto transport broker who will pass your vehicle shipping order off to a third party, or an actual auto transport carrier who will handle your vehicle hauling order from beginning to end.

And make sure you get a thorough vehicle condition report when your car is picked up AND dropped off.

Auto transport in and out of Washington state is part of daily life at J&S Transportation. Of the 235,000 vehicles we’ve shipped on our own trucks, many route through beautiful Washington state. You’ve found a reliable auto hauler to ship your vehicle.

“J&S runs a lot of trucks in and out of Washington,” says Scott Chesarek, J&S Transportation co-founder. “We rep three different auto auctions in Washington, two in Seattle – Manheim South Seattle Auction, which is in Kent, Washington, a suburb of Seattle, and Seattle Auto Auction in Auburn, Washington, another suburb of Seattle – and one in Spokane, Dealers Auto Auction Northwest.”

“Our trucks are in there weekly to haul the freight we get at those auctions which means we are helping deliver cars and trucks to dealerships and individuals all over Washington and in nearby states like Idaho and Oregon,” Scott adds. “Washington car dealers will come to these auctions to stock their lots or fulfill sales orders, and they count on us to get their vehicles delivered quickly and safely.”

Straight Talk. Honest Dealings

The bottom line is when a client books a piece of freight, we need to get to moving ASAP. J&S does this day in and day out. We know the right questions to ask. We know the auto transport industry because we are an auto transporter. We are not just a broker.

There’s a million ways to make the customer feel comfortable, and J&S will work with the client to arrive at a mutually beneficial solution to whatever scenario arises.

Excellent customer service

We’ve hauled freight out of towns like Pullman, Washington, which is somewhat isolated, or Colville, Washington, which is 60, 70 miles north of Spokane. Both of those towns are off the beaten path.

Say a client books a piece from Colville, Washington to Denver, Colorado. In the instance of a car being in a very difficult location, we offer a couple options and prices for the client.

One option is we will do it for the rate quoted on the website because we honor what we quote, but it’s going to take a little longer simply because the client lives in a very difficult town. Auto transporters don’t usually go through Colville. We will have to go from Spokane up to Colville to pick it up, and if we dead head all the way up it’s a piece of freight we might break even on. It may take us two to three weeks to get up there for pick up, so it could delay the move.

Another option would be for the client to drive the car to Spokane to a previously arranged secure drop off where J&S will pick it up. We have trucks in and out of Spokane all the time, and this would significantly speed up the transport of the vehicle and reduce the cost.
