Great experience

Great experience! The customer service rep was outstanding in explaining the process. There were no surprises or hidden fees. Communication was excellent. Best of all, the cars arrived early!

GUARANTEED means NOTHING

Received a shipping quote from SGT. They were actually the highest quote of all the companies that I looked into. Multiple agents reached out via text from SGT. I visited their website and liked what I saw. Really positive reviews overall and a well laid out website.

I then received a text from SGT telling me that they would match or beat any of the quotes that I had received from competitors- Guaranteed!
I thought I would call them and put this to the test.

Not only did they not price match any of the other quotes that I had received, but the agent just badmouthed every other company. I couldn't believe how poor the service was. I mentioned the text that they had just sent me, which guaranteed they would beat or match ANY quote that I had received, and the agent just said they don't match quotes.

So I'll take my business elsewhere. Beautiful website, but your agent ruined this experience

*** Of course your follow up mentions your “price match promise” policy but that’s not in the text message that you guys sent me. If I could upload a photo, I would have put this in my review.

Dear Mike,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

Regarding our Price Match Promise, as stated in our Terms & Conditions:

"(b) Price Match Promise: If you find a lower price from a reputable competitor for an identical auto transport service within 24 hours of booking with us, we will gladly review and confirm if we can match or beat that price. We strive to ensure you receive the highest quality service at the lowest possible cost."

While we always aim to offer competitive pricing, the policy does not guarantee that every quote will be matched or beaten—it specifies that we will review and confirm if we are able to do so. There are many brokers, including start-up companies, that provide unrealistically low rates, which often lead to failed shipments and unfulfilled promises. Our Price Match Promise applies strictly to reputable competitors offering identical services, as we prioritize reliability and quality.

That said, professionalism, respect, and transparency are core values at SGT Auto Transport. While we are honest about the risks of choosing certain options, we also require our agents to communicate professionally at all times when discussing competitors. Your experience, as you described it, does not reflect our standards, and we take this seriously.

We have sent you a Trustpilot inquiry request to obtain your details so we can further investigate this situation and audit the call recordings. We want to ensure our team upheld our service standards and to address any professionalism concerns appropriately.

We value your feedback and look forward to receiving your information so we can fully review and address this matter.

Best regards,

Just shipped a car from San Diego to NJ. Horrible experience with their communication. Both pick up and delivery times were not what were agreed upon. At pickup they extorted $200 for extra weight just by the driver looking at what was loaded. I used Montway to ship car to San Diego and wished I would have used them again as I had no such issues with them. SGT cannot be trusted

Dear Felice,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your transport didn’t go as smoothly as expected. At SGT Auto Transport, customer satisfaction is always a top priority, and we take all feedback seriously—especially when it helps us grow and serve our customers better.

We’d like to respectfully clarify a few important points regarding your concerns, particularly around the issue of personal items in the vehicle. As outlined in our policy—clearly published and accessible at the following link:
https://sgtautotransport.com/help/insurance-personal-items/can-i-ship-personal-items-in-my-car

"Yes, you can have up to 100 lbs in the trunk/cargo area of the vehicle. Items must be contained to a single box or suitcase. However, if you'd like to load more personal items, you will need to provide the estimated weight of the items and we will provide you with an all-inclusive price. Both front seats and the front seat floorboards must remain empty and free of any personal items to avoid damage during transportation. The backseat must also remain empty unless you've received an all-inclusive rate for items to be placed there."

At the time of booking, you confirmed the inclusion of no more than 100 lbs of personal belongings, which is complimentary and covered under our standard transport terms. However, when the carrier arrived, it was immediately clear that the actual contents exceeded this limit—both in weight and volume. Items were visibly stored in the front seats, back seats, and trunk, all of which are not permitted without prior agreement and payment for an all-inclusive rate.

This is not unique to SGT Auto Transport—this is industry standard. The carriers we work with are federally licensed to transport vehicles, not household goods. Overloading a vehicle with personal belongings poses safety risks, can violate Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, and potentially void carrier insurance coverage. That’s why additional fees are required when the load exceeds what was disclosed.

We want to stress that we are not here to assign blame—we are here to help. Our goal is not simply to be right, but to ensure our customers feel heard, valued, and ultimately satisfied with the service provided. Our team has already reached out with a proposed resolution, and we remain fully committed to working with you toward a fair and positive outcome.

We take great pride in our reputation and the trust our customers have placed in us through real, verifiable reviews based on genuine experiences. We hope you'll reconsider your impression of our company, and allow us the opportunity to restore your confidence.

Thank you again, Felice. We look forward to resolving this to your satisfaction.

Warm regards,

Responsive and helpful

The company was helpful and responsive to my requests and questions. They picked my car up and delivered it within 5 days without damage. Only thing is that the carriers call you the day of or the day before your car gets picked up/delivered. Otherwise, I would book with SGT Auto again.

Best Transport Around

From the start, communication was excellent and I always knew what was going to happen. The person who initially answered the phone was always in touch. There was another young woman who kept in touch with me when the car was going to be picked up. The man who came and picked it up was professional and you could tell. He knew what he was doing. The car got there in one day. It was in beautiful shape. The price was right. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend SGT Auto Transport.
