public records show no cargo insurance

I had a negative experience with SGT Auto Transport. My vehicle was delivered with damage that was not present at pickup, and the documentation supports that it occurred during transport.
They do not have cargo insurance! Nor did the driver they hired!

Dear John,

We’re sorry to hear about your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to address them.

Prior to this review being submitted, our team attempted to reach out to follow up on your transport experience and confirm whether everything was received as expected. At that time, we did not receive a response, and no damage was reported to us upon delivery or shortly thereafter.

Upon receipt of your review, our Claims Department was immediately notified to further review the matter and ensure it is properly evaluated.

To clarify, all carriers utilized through our network are required to maintain active cargo insurance in compliance with industry regulations and contractual requirements.

In order to properly investigate and process any potential damage claim, we kindly ask that you complete the damage report form that was provided to you. This will allow our Claims Department to formally review all details, documentation, and timelines in accordance with the established procedure.

We remain available to support you through the process once the required information has been submitted.

THE CUSTOMER IS NEVER RIGHT WITH SGT!

SGT Auto Transport is quick to get you to sign an agreement to use their brokerage, unlike many other car transporters. They will want you to pay for their services up-front, too, again, unlike other brokerages. Donʻt fall for it. In my case, I attempted to "validate" their agreement by giving them my payment information, but their website malfunctioned and wouldnʻt complete the transaction - or at least thatʻs what the website said. SGT Auto Transport told me that they would not move ahead with getting me a car transporter until my agreement was validated. They did nothing. I needed to move ahead, so I contacted other brokerages, who worked wonders and got my car transport arranged. I informed SGT of this as a courtesy, and promptly was slapped with a $199 cancellation fee. I asked for a refund, but they refused.

As an update to the above based on Stefanoʻs response to my initial review, I have worked with reputable car transport companies, and they have successfully and in good faith worked with me. Not so with SGT. SGTʻs broken website refused to accept my valid credit card to complete their "agreement" that they indicated had to be "validated" by credit card to be operational. In other words, there was no mutual agreement. SGT didnʻt move forward with anything - no effort to find a car transport and no effort to call me back in a timely fashion.

SGTʻs history shows that it has not and will not acknowledge customer concerns and will stonewall and justify itself and its charges. SGTʻs statement that they are out $199 administratively has no credence. It is self-serving. Keep in mind that no other car transport company in my experience acts like SGT has. All the other companies are reasonable and not out to extract a hefty fee enforcing some web-verbiage that they themselves indicated repeatedly was not binding because it hadnʻt been validated.

Dear KQ,

We appreciate any honest feedback, we offer the same.  As any business, we put in a lot of time, money  and effort into serving our customers in order to achieve overall success for them as well as us as a business.  No one is forced to use our services, but utilizing our resources and choosing not to pay for the costs associated, is unreasonable and unethical.

SGT was hired to utilize our auto hauling industry expertise and proprietary vetted motor carrier network to set up transport with a licensed and insured motor carrier.

Unlike most brokers, we stand by our commitment to providing you the best service possible by executing contract agreements that bind our commitment to our customers. This is to help our customers not hurt them. We take that commitment seriously and expect that from our customers as well.

What the general public and most first time shippers do not understand is a tremendous amount of resourcing goes into the set up transports and the vetting of our motor carrier network to ensure proper carrier government and insurance credentials. The moment the service contract is signed by our customer, there are no delays in taking action to resource that transport.

We therefore maintain a strict cancellation policy and we go to great lengths to be transparent by communicating this in many ways; verbally, on our website, linked in customer emails, and within the signed customer contract. Unfortunately, the customer breached our mutual written contract,  used our resources, then canceled, making a cancellation fee applicable.

5 stars for SGT Auto Transport.

5 stars for SGT Auto Transport.

After dealing with another company that tried the old bait-and-switch with a lowball quote that kept climbing, working with SGT was a breath of fresh air.

I booked a vehicle transport from Phoenix to Stillwater, Minnesota over the weekend. They said pickup would happen within 1 to 3 business days. It was picked up on Monday. They said delivery would happen within 3 days of pickup. It arrived on Thursday. No drama. No nonsense. No surprise price games.

The driver was friendly, professional, and made my wife feel comfortable during pickup, which mattered because this was her first time going through the process. On the delivery end, he brought the vehicle right up to the garage in Stillwater without any issues.

Bottom line: they did what they said they would do. They honored the quote, hit the timeline, communicated clearly, and made the whole process easy.

That alone is worth 5 stars these days.

Setup process was easy and straightforward. Follow up by the office team and driver was very good. All of my questions were answered in a timely manner. Price was very reasonable for 2 vehicles in an enclosed trailer MN-FL transport.

Love SGT

SGT is very good at communicating every step of the way. They do not leave you until you have your car or it is picked up. They use excellent companies- I have never had a problem with any drivers. I have used SGT for over three years and will call again next December.

Very happy with SGT Auto Transport

I was very happy with SGT Auto Transport and the carrier, Spark Logistics (driver Maks), who SGT chose to move my car from California to Oregon. Parker at SGT answered all of my questions and made me feel confident in my choice of SGT. In addition, the SGT price quote was reasonable, did not change, and the timing of the move was faster than any other companies offered. The only issue I had was that SGT's paperwork and Parker said there were many ways to pay the driver at drop-off (cert check, money order, Venmo, etc.) but the driver only offered two options, Zelle and/or cash. And you must be very flexible with the pick-up and drop-off times as they can move throughout the day(s). In fact, our car was delivered a day earlier than expected!!! I will certainly recommend SGT to my friends. Sadly, I have seen bad reviews for SGT, but I can honestly say that was not my experience at all. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised with how well everything went considering every transport company I researched seemed to have a number of bad reviews which caused me to expect something bad to happen in my situation. So, the fact that my transport experience was so much better than expected made it all extra wonderful.

REPEAT customer!!!

This is my third time using SGT auto transport. The shipping was done super fast. I placed the order late in the afternoon and they were here to pick up the next day and delivered the vehicle the following day. Always a very smooth easy process. Will definitely use them every time.

Great Service and Quick Delivery

I had a great experience transporting my car from New Jersey to Idaho with this company. The driver was very friendly and easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. My car was delivered surprisingly fast (just 3 days) which really exceeded my expectations. I also appreciated the frequent updates along the way, so I always knew what was going on. They were reliable, flexible with both pickup and delivery, and very cooperative throughout. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing car transport.

SGT doesn’t pay to carriers!

We delivered last car for this broker like 3 months ago and they do not want to pay us and gave a negative review to the company only because accounting team told them we will file a claim under their bond for non payment.
Customers, don’t sign any contracts with them because they are scammers, they lie all the customers about the price and by the end you paying more then you was told!

Dear LOGSERVICE INC,

We would like to clarify that this review has been submitted by a carrier partner, not a customer, and does not reflect a customer service experience.

SGT Auto Transport operates in accordance with clearly outlined agreements with all carriers. As per the terms of the carrier contract, a signed Bill of Lading from the customer is required to confirm successful delivery of the vehicle before payment can be issued. In this case, the required customer signature was not obtained by your driver at the time of delivery.

Our team communicated this requirement multiple times and advised that payment is contingent upon receiving proper documentation, as agreed upon in the contract.

We respectfully note that the statements made in this review are misleading and do not accurately represent the circumstances of this matter. SGT Auto Transport remains committed to transparent, fair, and professional practices with both customers and carrier partners.

If you would like to resolve this matter, we encourage you to provide the required documentation so we can proceed accordingly.

Best regards,
