Do you have any recommendations (good or bad) for cross country auto transport.
While over Thanksgiving holiday at my in-laws I picked up a '73 914. It runs but it needs too much work to drive it from Philadelphia to Orlando. I've never shipped a car before and what I've gathered is that these brokers (middlemen) hire the truckers, you pay a fee to the broker (deposit), and then hope the trucker is reputable. When the car arrives you then pay the trucker (in cash) yet the broker has no responsibility or liability. Any issues with the transport of the car have to be delt directly with the trucker. What could possibly go wrong? I'm a newbie. This is my first 914 and I'm looking forward to getting it. That said, any advice on where to start with making it road worthy? |

I've used Angels Moving Autos and couldn't be any happier with the price and service.
Back last May I bought an 85 Carrera Cab that was in Baltimore. Memorial Day fell on a Monday, and the prior Thursday I called Angels and talked with Dina. She had a convincing explanation how professionally she ran her business, so I committed right then over the phone. A couple of emails and a deposit followed shortly, and the car was picked up 2 days later on Saturday morning. The enclosed 2-car trailer was pulled by a late-model, crew-cab diesel Silverado, and arrived here in the Denver area on Monday afternoon. Driver was completely thorough and professional. Very happy with their service, and I'm currently under contract again with Angels to transport a 914 I'm buying, moving it from South Carolina out here to Colorado. |
