Easy Peasy cross country shipping experience

Price was reasonable or at least consistent with what I expected. The quote never changed from the first communication. The car pickup and drop-off was easy on both ends. The total transit time Arlington, VA to Berkeley, CA was about 8 days.

Horrible experience

Horrible experience. Quoted $600 to bring a new vehicle about 400 miles. Made me sign a contract. Assigned an order number and then started to try and increase the price, multiple times. I contacted them and said we have a contract, you have a guarantee and neither of which you are willing to honor. They said they really don't know sometimes and I said this is what you do for a living. Stay far, far away from them. Think there's even more shadiness, but this is the lowlight.

Dear Tom,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the process did not meet your expectations and appreciate the opportunity to provide clarification.

As outlined in the signed agreement, pricing is based on current market conditions and carrier availability. While we make every effort to secure a carrier at the initial quoted rate, there are situations where market demand requires presenting alternative options in order to move forward within the requested timeframe. These options are always communicated transparently and remain entirely at the customer’s discretion.

We understand how frustrating it can be when expectations and real-time market conditions don’t align, and we regret that this led to dissatisfaction. Our intention is never to create confusion, but to offer realistic solutions based on carrier availability at the time of dispatch.

We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving communication and customer experience.

Classic Bait and Switch

Classic Bait and Switch! Did NOT meet the window for pickup then asked for over 25% or $300 more to ship. Can not recommend.

Dear Marlon,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all customer experiences seriously and appreciate the opportunity to provide context. At SGT Auto Transport, all pickup windows and pricing are estimated based on market conditions, vehicle specifications, and carrier availability — factors that are beyond our direct control. These estimates are clearly outlined in our agreements to ensure transparency.

We want to clarify that adjustments in timing or pricing are never intended as a “bait and switch.” Our team works diligently to offer solutions and maintain open communication throughout the process. While we understand your decision to cancel, we remain committed to providing fair, reliable, and professional service to all customers.

We value the trust our customers place in us and hope to have the opportunity to serve you in the future under more favorable circumstances.

Great experience from start to finish! The very best quote, easy booking, great communication. Found the driver with no problem, and my car arrived at its destination a little early, looking great. I will definitely use them again!

I trusted their promise of a guaranteed two-day pick-up window, was willing to pay $300 for the privilege, because I have a family and needed the car. I booked a flight for our move the day after their window, because, we are moving. No carrier assigned for days. I spent hours with their customer support begging them to do something, always got the run-around, all kinds of excuses. Never got a carrier. Totally unreliable company, can’t trust what they say.

Dear Kenneth,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how critical reliable timing is when planning a family move, especially when travel arrangements are involved. Our guaranteed pickup option is intended to prioritize scheduling; however, as noted in our agreement, there are rare instances where carrier availability or market conditions can affect the original window. In those cases, our team works proactively to secure the next available carrier opportunity as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your patience and feedback, as it helps us continue improving both communication and coordination. Our goal is always to provide dependable service and transparency throughout the transport process, and we value every customer who places their trust in us.

I entered into a contract with SGT to transport my vehicle from California to South Carolina for a reasonable price. When it was time to ship my vehicle, the price increased considerably. They wanted to make the delivery on a day that I would be unable and wanted me to authorize someone else to receive the vehicle. I made arrangements to meet their needs. The next thing that they wanted was a considerable increase in the price. They then sent me an email saying that they were canceling my contract.

Dear Art,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations and would like to provide some important clarification for those reading this review.

SGT Auto Transport operates transparently as a licensed auto transport broker. As clearly outlined in the signed agreement, initial quotes are estimates based on current market conditions and carrier availability. In some cases, market-driven fluctuations—such as limited carrier availability on specific routes or dates—can result in revised carrier offers. Customers always have full discretion to accept or decline any updated pricing, and no shipment proceeds without customer authorization.

Regarding delivery timing, pickup and delivery dates are also estimated, not guaranteed, as they depend on factors beyond our direct control, including carrier routing, weather, and road conditions. When a consignee is unavailable on a proposed delivery date, we do our best to explore reasonable alternatives with the customer, but flexibility is sometimes required to complete a shipment efficiently.

In this case, the order was canceled after the updated carrier terms were declined. This was not a unilateral or arbitrary action, but rather the result of an inability to secure a carrier under the revised conditions that aligned with the requested requirements.

We respectfully disagree with the implication that our company acts improperly. We stand by our reputation for transparency, professionalism, and compliance with all contractual and regulatory standards. Our team works diligently on every order to secure reliable carriers and deliver vehicles safely and efficiently.

We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving communication and setting clear expectations, and we wish you the best with your future transport needs.

Great experience, up-front pricing

The response time was quick and the service was great. The price I was Quoted is the price we paid. Our driver was professional and courteous. This was a great experience. Anytime we need to ship a vehicle, we do not consider anyone else.

Simply the Best Transport Company!

I have transported my car at least 5 times with SGT. Each time, the process has always been seemless and professional. Its pricing is also very competitive.

Beyond that, this company does what it says! The car was always picked up and dropped off within the agreed upon parameters. Being able to transport items with the car was a huge bonus too.

Overall, I just can't say enough nice things about this company! Book with them, you won't regret it!

Great Customer Service and Communication

I found SGT through a web search because I had never shipped a car before. What a great find it turned out to be! The plans provided different options, all at reasonable prices. Their customer service explained the differences and helped me decide which one was most applicable to my situation. They provided turn-key service with excellent communication throughout. The carrier they chose was very professional and kept to their date commitments for pick-up and drop-off. Overall, great service!

Bait and Switch

Got a quote to ship a Jeep in March for about $1K. Seemed great - 3 day window for pick up, great price. So signed with them. Come time for pick up, they call me today they found a driver and it would be $1,800! They said that the quote was just a quote and nothing else. Don’t use this company!

Dear June,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We regret to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We want to take this opportunity to clarify a few important points and provide context regarding how our process works.

As outlined in our Terms and Conditions, SGT Auto Transport operates with estimated pickup windows, not guaranteed dates and times, unless our Guaranteed Pickup service is selected. These windows are designed to reflect real-world market conditions, which are inherently dynamic and impacted by a variety of factors, including route demand, fuel prices, weather conditions, and carrier availability.

While we understand your frustration with the additional offer made, it’s important to note that this was provided in the spirit of transparency and flexibility. Our goal is always to avoid delays and present all available options to our customers — not to “bait and switch.” The pricing offered can vary based on market trends at the time of dispatch, and while we strive to honor original quotes, we also want to give customers the opportunity to make informed decisions when situations change.

We appreciate your feedback and have forwarded your comments to our Quality Assurance Team for further internal review. We remain committed to continuous improvement, transparency, and delivering reliable service across the board.

Sincerely,
