Question Vehicle Shipping?

Does anyone know of a good shipping company for vehicles?


BTW, I already did a search, if you're wondering, and yes there is a Sponsor Tim and LSX Transport, for such, but I read in a thread he is very hard to get a hold of and hasn't replied to his own thread in quite some time, so I figured I'd ask here. Thanks in advance.

Call Cosmos auto transport. I used them to ship my old trans am from Chicago to Florida
Call them at 714-871-6900 or 877-241-2375

If its not in an area where they transport they'll find other companies that will do it for you. Always depending on where you are located!

I just had a buddy get his TA delivered and it was FUBAR. Broken front shock, no seriously. BROKEN, the spring was bulging out to the side. It was a QA1 to top it off. His transmission was jacked up, the car was scratched up, and there were miles put on it with rubber all over the rear quarter panels. LSX Transport is the only place I would trust. Go to their website and use the contact email there. They replied to me the next day. Very cool guy.

Yeah I went to his website, and for the record, in no way, was my first post talking negative about him, I was just stating what I had researched. But I did leave him a message on his website and I look forward to hearing from him! Thanks!

Just curious, can anyone "guestimate" what it would cost to ship from Cali to Kentucky?

(Again, thanks for all the input)

it would probably be around $800. I am going to be using LSX Transport after my few months in 29 Stumps, will be getting it shipped back to FL for storage while im in Korea for a year.

If you pick up & drop off at one of their hubs (if it's an option), I'm sure it'll save you money.

I used a mom-and-pop company when I brought mine from TX. If they didn't come recommended, I would have used a larger carrier just for the security.

If you want an enclosed transport try Intercity Lines. I've had good luck with them.
