This is experience could not have gone better. I work at a credit union and was referred to them by one of our dealer partners. I know this industry can be kinda scummy but they were upfront about everything. There was no bait and switch pricing, my car was picked up within the three day window (though they make incredibly clear in their confirmation email that it is not guaranteed). The company they connected me with was professional, and got my car to me from Washington state to Nevada within 1 day. I was given a dispatch email and told to follow up if my car wasn't picked up by 1pm the following day. When it hadn't, it was incredibly easy to reach out and I spoke to a very kind gentleman, Jay, who did some digging and followed up with me within the hour for an update. This was the part of my move I was most nervous for an it could not have gone better. I will be using them in the future if it's needed. read more

Horrible company. I booked a month out from my 3 day pick up window and called to follow up before that window began. I asked if we were good to go and was told they were working on dispatching it. The window closed and nothing...I couldn't reach them on the phone and when I emailed them, I was told a random person I have never talked to doesn't work there anymore. Don't waste your time. read more

I booked over a month in advance and they told me the car would be picked up on a certain 3 day window.......to make a long story short.....they dropped the ball. They messed up. Also had the wrong delivery address listed. So incompetent. Changed the story at the end. I had to use another company last minute...had to pay a fortune and ALLIED Changed ME a $400 fee for THEIR mistake. I don't trust them. read more

Do not say you wasn't warned, Stay far away as you can. I had a high end very valuable sports cars shipped to me and the car disappeared in route for over a week in Dallas, Tx when I received the car it had been driven hard in the rain and I received my car with 50 miles on it, my car which was bought brand new from dealership. Im talking to different attorneys right now to see the best way to recoup a what I consider diminishing my cars value on a new car. Zero accountability no calls or emails answered and they even told me at one point they had no idea where my car was. I'm pissed read more

The worst I've ever hired to transport! This company will take your money ...One better have extra insurance..Cause if something goes wrong & most likely will ...they go into radio silence , no communication or email response! Find another transport co. read more

Colorado to Florida! I had a fantastic experience with Jay Gaydon. The communication was excellent since the beginning. The car was picked up two days after I scheduled it, and my son received his car in four days without any issues. Jay made sure all my questions were answered at any time. I would use them again. read more

Great customer service. They were on time, took only five days to ship my car across country. Driver was super responsive and kept me updated. The cost was also well within reason. highly recommend. read more

Stay FAR away from this company! The address used on their website is the address of a UPS store in San Clemente, CA. They don't even have a real office. My experience was so problematic and traumatic that there is too much here to mention but at the end of the day the car was never picked up and they charged me for it anyway. They said someone from billing would call me to explain why, but they never have called and every time I call them there is magically no one in billing available and "in the office". I've reported them to the BBB, to my bank and my attorney. Don't get taken by these people. Choose a legitimate company and save yourself all the headache. Learn from my mistake!!! I suggest one of these companies instead: https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/moving-services/best-car-shipping-companies/ read more

We have been trying to contact the company, the carrier, and have now filed a police report for a STOLEN CAR. NEVER trust someone that only offers an 800 phone number and no email. Our car has been missing for 5 days now, with absolute ZERO support and responses from this scamming company! Bob, save your replies like you have with everyone else. Justice will be served. read more

Thank you for safety transporting our new SUV from Houston to Los Angeles even with winter weather challenges!

THEFT! We just had 2 UTV's stolen off their double / triple brokered trucks - the day after they picked up - and their story is sketch AF, super shady. They are operating and moving cars with ZERO INSURANCE / or ANY kind of DOT / FMCSA Authority - none. Your vehicle gets stolen, you're on your own. Zero coverage through Allied. Look at their reviews - ALL KINDS OF THEFT over the years... DO NOT USE THESE GUYS! DO NOT USE BOBBY or any others there. They're super shady with a long history of thefts off their trucks. read more

Back in April I contacted Allied Auto Transport and worked with Tim. My father passed away and I was trying to help my mom out in moving her back to CA. I was quoted a price of $1545 to ship (and $300 to tow from my mom's address to the port in Kahului) from Maui to Oakland CA. I told him that I would not be shipping until August/September. He told me in email that price would still be good. On 7-14-22 he emailed me and stated that "the price remains the same in August/September." On 7-28-22, Tim emailed me that there was a "slight increase". This slight increase was 30% more. Mind you, since I was shipping the car on 8-17-22 it's within 30 days so it made it more challenging to find another shipping company. On 8-16-22 (the day before getting picked up by the towing company) Tim emails me and mentions that the written permission note (this is required when shipping from Hawaii to the mainland) that it had to be NOTARIZED. This is the first time this was mentioned to me. In the confirmation email when I booked this it said "If a vehicle is leaving the Islands and coming back to the mainland, HI requires written permission from the owner." Nothing written from them ever mentions it being notarized. I mentioned to him that it wasn't in the companies confirmation email nor had he ever told me that it had to be notarized. Don't get me wrong, I understand but since we were moving the following day I had a lot of other things on my mind to argue with him. When I got back to the mainland I emailed Tim about these 2 issues. He showed zero empathy and didn't take any responsibility for what happened. I mean, didn't his email on 7-14 telling me my price was good count for anything? We had maybe 30 emails from April til August and he never mentioned the notary and yet he dismissed my latest email by saying that "you didn't seem to mind" when he talked to me. Once again, we talked the DAY BEFORE the vehicle was shipped out. How about a little accountability on not mentioning it for the past 5 months and apologizing that even though I was busy that I had to get it done that day... I actually have more but I ran out of space to include... read more

They damaged my motorcycle. Allied assured me they hired drivers who were highly experienced with shipping motorcycles. Unfortunately, the driver did not know anything about motorcycles and he strapped down my front-end using car straps and overtightened them, breaking the seal on my front fork. With towing and the repair, it cost over $800. During all this, Allied assured me they would cover these costs but now they have gone "radio silent" on me. Thus, I highly recommend you consider another company for shipping your motorcycle. read more

DO NOT HIRE THEM!!! 2024- hired them to ship my car from Birmingham to NC. It was a 10hr job that ended up taking an entire month. They took my car to Georgia, took my money and were unresponsive to emails and calls. The whole process was a nightmare. Do not waste your time. Stay away from Bobby, Tim and Jay. I will never ever hire this guys again as long as I live. read more

Allied transferred my car from Honolulu Hawaii to Oakland California during the busy month of May quickly and without issue. The whole process was pretty seamless. Jay , at Allied Transportation, set up the car transport process and stayed in constant communication with me to ease my anxiety and answer all of my questions. I would recommend Allied Car Transportation. read more

Used Allied and it was very efficient. Shipped my daughter's car from TX to CA and it was on time. Great service, very flexible for times and dates for pick up and delivery. Would definitely use them again. Thanks Jay! read more

We needed to transport a new BMW from Pacific BMW to a second home back east. When reaching out to Allied Auto Transport, we interacted with Bobby. Bobby was very responsive, informative and got us an amazing quote for an enclosed transport. Allied was not among the cheapest quotes we received but we were okay with that as in many cases, the saying is true, you get what you pay for! For us, this was absolutely true when dealing with Bobby at Allied Auto Transport! The driver arrived at Pacific BMW virtually the exact time he said he would. After a physical inspection of the vehicle was performed, the driver carefully and methodically loaded the car. We asked how many days would it take before the vehicle would arrive at its destination and he said probably five or fewer. The driver apparently drove almost non-stop because the vehicle arrived in four days which was amazingly fast! Overall, we are very happy with the front and back end service from Bobby as well as the speed in which the vehicle arrived at our home. I highly recommend this company and we will definitely utilize their service again! Thanks, Bobby!!! read more

See all

I have been doing business with Bobby @ Allied Auto for over 10 years now. When we were moving out of California, he helped get our cars to new home during a pandemic, fires, labor day weekend and generally bad overall timing He orchestrated a strategy that got our cars to us with minimal inconvenience and a smile from a great driver. Personalized service and communication from start to finish. If you are looking for an A+ carrier, I recommend Allied Auto. Thank you! read more

What a bunch of crooks! While transporting my vehicle across country they parked it illegally and in got stuck with an $85 ticket. Jay Gaydon said he would pay it and never did. Did I mention I had to drive over 100 miles to pick up my vehicle because they lost track of where it was and didn't know who had it. Then they forge my signature on the BOL saying they delivered it. Be afraid of these guys. Very afraid! read more

Bobby and Dave have been non responsive to my phone calls and emails!!! Like you took my money and didn't pick up my car. Can someone tell me what is happening!!! read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! The first day of contact was November 30th 2018. I received a quote, and was later contacted by an employee named Dave Bailey. Dave sent me the forms to be filled out instantly (the only time I ever received a response in a timely manner, go figure). I completed the form exactly a week later on December 7th, 2018 stating the car would be ready for transportation to NY from CA December 10-12th, since they do request you give them a three day window for pick up. My flight was December 13th, so I needed the car to be picked up on the dates I provided. December 13th comes around, and I haven't heard from either Dave or the company despite my numerous emails, and calls. My car wasn't delivered for over 3 weeks. I spent hundreds of dollars for cabs, lyfts, and ubers for weeks since my car wasn't delivered the day it was promised. I've emailed, texted, and called multiple times for a response to my claim requesting they refund me a portion of my money. I've had zero luck. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! THEY WORK THROUGH SUBCONTRACTORS. I should've researched this company a little more instead of relying on the reviews written on yelp. There are plenty dissatisfied customers with the same issues I've discussed. The 5 star reviews seem to be people with little to no reviews other than the one written for this scam of a company. They also have cases open with the Better Business Bureau which will now include mine. As you can see in the photo attached he said (again) because I've emailed multiple times just to find a solution to this terrible experience. It took my multiple emails just for a response, and till now I still haven't heard back from anyone. Do yourself a favor, and STAY AWAY. read more

Allied Auto Transport - This was the last email Dave Bailey sent me regarding my claim against him & this fraudulent company. - Vehicle Shipping Near Me

This company appears to be fraudulent. They are simply a broker using independent truckers. I had a challenging cross country move of a non-running car, and the trucker they hired did a great job. However, Allied never paid the trucker, even though I had paid in full prior to pick-up (and have CC receipt to prove so). The trucker started contacting me after they told him I needed to pay him directly. I contacted the sales person at Allied directly that I had arranged the transport through (Dave Bailey) and he promised he would get to the bottom of it and get back to me. I never heard back, and have now called several times without any resolution. The trucker has spoken with him numerous times as well. I am going to take this to civil court on behalf of the trucker as he doesn't have the resources to do so. Allied is clearly taking advantage of the trucker. Do not use this company. read more

Don't use these guys. They put a dent in the roof of my car and tried to cover it up. I received the vehicle and all the tires were down below 20 psi. Apparently, they ran the car into the upper rail on the truck and had to lower the pressure to make it fit. No one said a thing. Allied was not willing to work with me. I guess, you only have 24 hrs to notice the damage, on the roof of a car, for them to care. It took me a few days later, so I got the shrug and "o-well". Stay away!! read more

Allied Auto Transport - Vehicle Shipping Near Me

DO NOT USE ALLIED AUTO TRANSPORT! They are complete liars and a dishonest company. They are brokers, not transporters but they don't tell you that. They promised that my vehicles would be picked up and transported from CT to AZ by a specific date and they never picked up the vehicles. We called several times and spoke to both Bobby & Dave from this company. They promised us a smooth transaction and it was not the case. My wife and I planed our move based on what these men promised us and after several calls and lies on their end, they did not uphold their end of the deal. We ended up having to call another transport company to do the job and we not only got much better service, but it was a lot less expensive. Allied Auto also ended up charging my credit card for a job they never did. We tried contacting both Dave and Bobby regarding the charge but no replies. How do they sleep at night. Unreal. Beware of this company and their employee promises. They are BAD NEWS! read more

Allied Auto Transport's team of seasoned professionals were incredible to work with in my time of need to transport my son's Jeep from Dallas back to New Orleans after his Hurricane Ida evacuation. I had never used a transport company before but after doing my research and reading reviews as well as an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, I decided to select Allied and this prove to be the best decision ever. They walked me thru the process and their website was extremely informative. Their price was very fair and competitive but what set them apart was their customer service and the quality of the driver (Mr. Burris) they assigned to my job. My son's car was picked up and delivered as promise. The driver kept in contact with my son so they could make sure delivery was flawless. So I want to sincerely thank Bobby (owner), Dave (Sr sales Mgr) & the rest of their amazing team and of course, Mr. Shannon Burris (the professional driver) for making my 1st transport experience the best ever. I would highly recommend this company to my family, friends & anyone with auto transportation needs. They don't make promises they can't keep like others in this field and strive to make sure they keep the promises they have made with attention to detail and pure professionalism. No wonder they came highly recommended by my Jeep dealership who transport cars on a constant basis. Thank you AAT from a very grateful mom:) read more

Allied Auto Transport was great. This review is focused on the speed of service and kindness of the office personnel - especially Dave - since I had to cancel the service due to issues with my vehicle repair plan and did not need transport services. I'm from Washington and my boyfriend and I were driving down to Monterey/Carmel to visit family for Thanksgiving. Our transmission went out and after much thinking we decided to ship our 1990 VW van back up to our local mechanic to avoid bay area prices on a transmission job which is already expensive. I called several shipping companies and I have to say I think this industry is one of the most slimy out there after talking with so many companies :( However when I called Allied Auto it felt genuine. They weren't following a script which was such a relief - I got real people! I was quoted a price right around what another lovely company quoted but Allied Auto was able to do it almost a full week earlier. This was great since a VW van is bigger than most cars and they were able to accommodate that when many others couldn't. Signing up on the phone was easy - Dave was great. After our conversation I was sent an email with contact information just in case. The next day, within 24 hours of my initial call, they had a truck lined up for me! I think this is mostly due to their organizational prowess but also a little luck - so don't get unrealistic expectations. Now I mentioned I had to cancel the service and when I called to do so I learned in this industry there is usually a hefty cancellation​ fee. However the gentleman working the day before Thanksgiving (I forget his name but he was also 'Dave level good') was able to work out an agreement with me which was just what I needed. Overall this company is professional and helpful - staffed by regular good people, not unfortunate call center employees. They listened to what I needed! That's a welcome change in a sleezy, competitive industry. *Word to the wise! Read the reviews Yelp decided to take down when shopping for a Transport Service. Some are actually unhelpful and are appropriate to remove but some (both negative and positive) are still helpful for shoppers and I wonder why they were removed. read more

Save yourself time and avoid these movers. If you ever happen to work with Dave Bailey, good luck. Cars were supposed to be picked up on 6/29, no call, no message and repeated calls to Dave went unanswered or he didn't provide anything useful. If you notice previous comments you will see that they sub-contract the move and so have no guarantees on delivery. No amount of talking or escalating up the chain is going to help, since the actual shipment is sub-contracted . Cars were shipped out 6/30 and the cars are still not here in Austin. On 7/6, trucks were in El Paso. Today is 7/11 and the cars are still in El Paso. I call every morning and its a unique excuse everyday. Now I am told it may be delivered on Monday, 7/16, but that's also not guaranteed. We have a 1 year old and are in Texas where a car is mandatory. If you have reasonable expectations from a moving company look elsewhere. read more

I gave them four stars just because they actually delivered my car in a perfect condition. One star missing because in my opinion; speed of service, and customer service in particular, is lacking. First of all, cheers to Bobby for being the only one who guaranteed my car to be picked up on my specific date and time. I got in contact with him just less than a week before the specified pickup. Pickup times are usually put in a period of a few days, but my car needed to be picked up on that specific day because we were catching a flight. Bobby communicated with me the whole time, but often I had to get to him first; that is, through Yelp messages, in order to get him tell where my car is. Here's why I was not completely satisfied. My car was picked up on the 2nd in Los Angeles. On the 5th, I asked Bobby when my car was going to arrive in Seattle. He said, the earliest would be Sunday. Sunday I didn't hear anything, so I asked again. On Monday, he said the driver was leaving on Tuesday latest. However, I tracked where my car was and it still hadn't moved. I kept asking until Tuesday night, until at some point Bobby told me "Just relax, you will have your car on Thursday." I said, "I trust you Bobby." He said "Good." On Wednesday, the car was in some other place, but obviously not in its way to Seattle yet, it was in Tracy. So I asked again. Didn't get a reply, so I called the office and was told dispatch still has it on target for Thursday. The car hadn't moved again after an hour or so, and I sent him a message saying "Hey Bobby, the car hasn't moved." He told me "The driver went the wrong way, they insisted no later than Friday." I still had the slight hope it was going to arrive on Thursday if the driver somehow drove non stop but Bobby said "Let's revisit in the A.M." Long story short, on 2:30pm Friday (today) my car was delivered. However, I had called Bobby twice today asking where the driver was. Again, I was always the one calling first. For everyone who reached this bottom of the review, I was actually gonna give them 3 stars. But I figured, Bobby actually seems like a nice guy. He was always polite and after all my "spamming" asking where my car is, he didn't decide to block me. Besides, their business is fairly new and there's always rooms for improvement. I hope that they take this review as a feedback. Well, again, thank you Bobby for arranging everything. I hope to do business with you again in the future! read more

Had an ok experience with these guys until they shipped my vehicle. In the process, the driver lost my key fob, which turned into an absolute disaster and a complete headache. It cost hours of my time and energy on the phone with the dealership, with Allied Auto, and with the driver. Instead of taking responsibility and making this right, Allied blamed this all on the driver and there was zero compensation for all the hassle. I would not recommend this service. Leaving this review as a warning to others. read more

I warn all not to use this business. The men running it are dishonest and I was told the same by the broker. The car was delivered to our destination but the transport company would not release because they were not paid by Allied. We already paid as per contract. read more

Car was given a week to make the transport. Transport pickup window was met in OREGON and Car arrived in Grambling Louisiana about 8 days later perfectly fine, all items in tow.

My husband and I needed to ship our car from Nrw Hampshire to Honolulu Hawaii. We contacted Allied Auto Transport. I thought they had it together. My sales guy Tim called constantly to make the sale at the most inconvient times during the day after I said email was my preferred way of contact. We ended up saying yes to them on 4/27/21 for a pick-up date of 5/14/21. Day of pick-up no calls from the driver, hadn't heard anything from them once we signed and sent over the paperwork. I had to call them and ask about the pick-up. Well after calling 5 times I finally get ahold of Tim and he tells me that a driver hadn't been set up for the date and he wasn't sure when a driver would come out. So now we were scrambling to make other arrangements. We ended up cancelling with Allied and going with another company who guaranteed pick-up for the next day which was a Saturday. The other company showed up on time and even contacted us multiple times with updates. Stay Far Away From Allied Auto Transport. read more

I recently had my car transported across the country, from California to Connecticut. Allied Auto Transport was highly affordable and delivered my car in the exact same condition as when they picked it up. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars rather than 5 is due to a delay due to some logistical complications (understandable given the distance). They were very patient with me in explaining the circumstances of the delay and were responsive and professional in every interaction I have had with them. Overall, a very positive experience. read more

When shipping our car from Houston to New Jersey, AAT came several days late....with the WRONG car. Days later, they arrived with our correct vehicle, but the driver side rearview window was broken to the tune of $450. No problem, said AAT, get a quote and send us the bill. We did. Several months and dozens of emails later to Bobby, we are left to wonder if he is still among us. Does anyone know if he is still alive? We pray for his safety. I don't want to hold a grudge against AAT. Accidents happen. But will they make this right? That is what customer service is all about. I don't want to look back in anger, and in this case I can't. My mirror is still broken. I have some great emails to post here, but it will have to wait for my next installment. read more

While I did not end up shipping a car, I had a wonderful interaction with Dave. He was responsive and understanding when I ran in to some money problems and had to cancel. They are helpful, communicative and affordable. read more

Terrible experience with this company. Used this company to ship a car cross county and they delayed on everything. Their contract states they will pick it up within a certain time that was delayed their contact says they will deliver within an estimated time that was even further delayed. When I called to speak to Dave he said it was out of his hands because they use an independent contractor and that it's up to us to find out what's causing the daly. Very VERY unprofessional and horrible customer service. Dave has a nonchalant attitude every time I pick up the phone to call him about compensating our interaction and again he passes me off to a different department that has yet to get back to me. Our car was delayed a total of 3 weeks which made us spend money out of pocket. I have another car that needs to be shipped but I refuse to give them my service after how unfairly I was treated. Upon reading the reviews I should have researched more they have cases against them in the Better Business Bureau and the reviews that are rated 5 star no way reflect what this company has done for me. I'm pretty sure they are paying for their reviews. Don't fall victim to their empty promises and poor customer service. read more

so i finally did i broke down and bought a new car online. i used these guys to move my car to me and it was really helpful. i tend to worry a lot, but these guys gave me peace of mind. the gentleman on the phone made me feel like my car was safe and it arrived sooner then i thought and safely! i had peace of mind moving with them. thank you! read more

Allied Auto Transport was great. I worked with John to set up shipping our car from Oakland to Washington DC - he was super pleasant and straightforward - which is totally different than pretty much everyone that I have worked with during our cross country move. The car made it from coast to coast in under a week and the price was fair. I highly recommend AAT! read more
