It's shocking that Mike is still in business. He's unprofessional, unreliable, angry and vulgar. I can't imagine anyone willingly using his "service" to transport a vehicle, run far, far away. read more

I only used Mike once but it was a good experience. The nature of car shipping is that the brokers (like Mike) take their fee and then agree to place the order on the exchange for independent drivers (or companies) to fulfill. You can agree in advance to the price you're willing to pay, but what you're really hiring is Mike's ability to hold to that price when contracting with a driver/shipper. Sometimes they'll accept the rate and other times they'll try to charge more; get it in writing up front and then stick to it. You are entitled to confirm their bond in advance and look it up online--it's publicly available. read more

Mike Called to setup pickup for a client. I explained we need 48hour notice. Was greeted with "hope you have good dental insurance!" and he was coming down personally to rearrange my teeth. He then continued to yell profanities. I would not recommend this broker to anyone. He should be shut down. read more

If I could give no stars I would! Contacted Mike to have my son's car transported out to Colorado Springs from Connecticut. Pick up date was scheduled for 8/12, never picked up until 8/15. Delivery was supposed to be 8/17 and not delivered until 8/18. Multiple phone calls with the driver "things happen, I'll be there in an hour, I'll drop it between 10 and 12. I'm an hour and a half away". Excuses, excuse! We were quoted $1200. Paid the $150 down payment (which come to find out was mike's broker fee) so that didn't come off the $1200 I thought it would. My husband then gets a payment request for $1400. Mike Prestia, the broker, and his driver NAZRIEV MUZAFFA are nothing but crooks! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! read more

This is the second time trying to use mike's unreliable transport. First time my car was a week late. Second time giving him another chance he keep saying they will pick up the car it's been two days and no one came. When I called him he said he would find out and call me back, but never did. Next day he won't answer my text and calls. When I texted him to cancel he finally called me back and kept saying he's been doing this for 25 years and he doesn't need my business and that he doesn't work for me and to stop telling him to do his job. Haha what a joke, no wonder 25 years in the game and he's still running a business on a cell phone and answering the phone him self. read more

AVOID AT ALL COST!!!! Mike prestia is the wrost, horrible attitude, no customer service and threatens his customer with anger and aggression! Unreliable. read more

very very disappointed on how this transaction went. first of all i have used this company several times before and never had any issues in the past but after the most recent encounter i will never use nor refer their business ever again.. i reached out to mike at reliable auto to setup a pickup of my vehicle and i was very adamant that the transport needed to have a lift gate since the vehicle was lowered. he agreed with both the price and lift and said that wont be a problem. when the driver arrives it is a truck without a lift ... the drivers had difficulty getting the vehicle on but were able to finally get it on after splitting several pieces of wood and at a point getting the car stuck. also after calling mike and asking him why the truck that was dispatched did not have a lift, he simply dismissed my concerns and said verbatim " well they have been doing this for years and have a 5 star rating"... i told him that wasn't the point at all and that has nothing to do with it.. furthermore after the drivers get to the location they tell me what my remaining balance is and it is more than what was agreed with mike... mike lied to me about the amount owed to transport the vehicle and did a bait and switch... absolutely will never use this service again nor will i refer these guys for business. they just lost my business forever.. DO NOT USE THESE GUYS! read more

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS GUY!! BEWARE I booked to have my car shipped to CA a few days before my flight and needless to say it did not get here. Now that I'm here and I need the car I'm just getting the run around on when it "could" get here fingers crossed. I told Mike that I'd have to contact other companies as well because at this point it has been to long and I needed my car, as soon as I said that he started flipping out and swearing any words you can imagine. That behavior was completely uncalled for as I was being completely understanding of the situation but I needed my car. STAY AWAY!! AND READ ALL THIS OTHER REVIEWS ON OTHER SITES IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME. read more

Was told by Mike that I would have car moved on a certain day. It wasn't moved for almost a month later and in the mean time kept getting the run around by him each time I called to check the status. He is nice to you at first but after he gets your money, he completely disregards you and feeds the customer lies. I am in the process of taking him to small claims court as we speak. Use this company at your OWN RISK! Totally sketchy and I wouldn't trust him at all. I learned my lesson and hope this helps others stay away from him and his business. read more

I have used this auto shipper five or six times over the past few years. I have never had a problem with Mike. I am shocked to read some of the bad reviews. My own experiences with Mike have been nothing like what I am reading here. I would not hesitate to use this company again. read more

What you did to me is not acceptable. Remember this day, we will see each other in new york. And i hope you have the balls to explain it infront of me.. pick up date passed already. Waited for another day with out time frame now cancelled order just because of the reason youre pressured! Well see you when i see you. Godbless! read more

They tried to charge my credit card an extra $150 over two months after the car was done and shipped. I called to ask what was going on and the guy got all defensive and hung up on me. I called back and he made fun of my stutter and said I was drunk. NEVER use this joke of a company. read more

NO BUSINESS with this guy. He has appointment with me and I drove 1 hour total to make it. And he just did not show up and turned his phone off. read more

I dealt with Mike from Reliable Auto Tranz (i think hes the only guy there) and at first he was helpful and nicest guy to deal with before any money was involved of course. I explained to him my situation about trading cars with another guy so i would need two cars picked up and delivered and he told me that he could make it work no problem. So i decided to go with him. I was told the total cost would be $650 per car with a discounted $50 since i was going to be sending two units through him and it would take about 2-3 days as soon as its picked up. He informed me there was a brokers fee of $150 to begin the process and the remaining balance would be due once the car was delivered. I made sure to confirm the amount of $450 so there was no misunderstanding that i owed the driver when it was delivered and he says YES. okay cool perfect everything was set i paid. I didnt hear anything for 3 days from mike or any transport service with an update. When i call no one answered so of course i began to worry. Finally another day goes by and mikes calls me back with an attitude change basically saying you dont tell me what to do, i dont need to notify you about anything, i scheduled to have your cars picked up and im done! good luck to you (of course with more cuss words) Luckily my cars ended up being delievered a week later than what i was quoted and on top of that i was over charged and ended up paying $950 per car and not the $600 that i was originally told over the phone. If anyone deals with him in the future make sure to get everything on writing first before sending over money so he doesnt screw you. If i could upload the threatening voice mails hes left me i would... STAY AWAY..Terrible customer service! check his BBB rating and other reviews below... pretty funny how they are all simliar. con artist at its finest!! read more

Stay away from this guy. Talks a big game but the moment you cancel on him, he starts getting an attitude. Very rude and I'll now have to close my credit card. read more

Mike was a nice guy on the first phone call and I was planning to use him to transport my truck. Then I started getting lower bids from companies with better ratings. When I asked about a lower price Mike started talking to me like I was an idiot. As you can imagine I decided to use someone else. Mike called the following day cursing me out with an F bomb filled tirade! My suspicions were confirmed! You can also read his text message response. read more

Reliable Auto Tranz - This is the text message I received from Mike after I chose another company with a lower price and a better rating. - Vehicle Shipping Near Me

Don't even think about doing business with this gutter snipe(Mike). Called for a quote and when I decided to go with another company with a better offer he called me every curse word you can imagine. Was texting me and cursing me out.He is a broker, which means that he can monitor every time a prospective customer searches for other carriers, so when he saw I was still searching for a carrier he would text me with insults and curses. Was considering calling the police on him for harassment. Complete lunatic. Stay away as if he were the plague. read more

Stay away from Mike Prestia and Reliable Auto Transport! My sister contacted Mike Prestia from Reliable Auto Transport (347-299-3974) to transport her car from NJ to Leland, NC. He quoted a price of $650.00. When I called about the location of the car int transit, he spewed out the most vulgar language you can imagine. When I told him that that was not appropriate language to use with his customers, he said, "I wipe my a$$ with your opinion, shut the F-up!" (my sister was hooked up to a kidney dialysis machine at the time). I was not allowed to speak because he was screaming curses and making dirty comments about me. (None of us have never met the man in person). When the car was delivered, his driver demanded $900.00 or he would not take the car down from the truck. When I told him that was outrageous, he threatened to take the car to South Carolina for his next delivery (and charge by the mile) and then put the car in storage for nonpayment. So, please stay away from this vulgar excuse of a human being. read more

I was going to use Mike as a broker to ship a car from the east coast to the west coast. He quoted a fair price. When I called him, I was a little put off by his initial attitude, but ignored my instincts. I explained that the car needed to be picked up that week before I left on vacation. He said it would be no problem. He charged a deposit fee without me signing anything, which was another red flag. After two weeks the car still was not shipped. He refused to respond to texts. When I spoke to him on the phone and explained that the seller was getting frustrated with waiting for the car to be picked up, Mike began shouting at me and basically laid into me with profanity. I informed him the next day via text that I needed to cancel because the process had taken too long. The seller informed me that he was going to sell the car locally if it wasn't picked up within two days, so I needed to find another way or the deal was dead on the car. This idiot, Mike, actually called the seller and misrepresented himself as another carrier and pretended to make arrangements to pick the car up the following day. He then told me he wouldn't cancel via text and that I had to call him. I called, but he was an unprofessional POS and refused to answer his phone. I left a voicemail explaining that I needed it canceled immediately. He then sent the following text to me, "You do not decide on my cancelation policy. That's fine though, just for the future, realize 1 thing....on your best and most efficient day you will never be smarter than me. I just verified with the seller that you tried to bullshit me saying the deal is canceled. It was never canceled with him. He had a friend in place for weekend pickup...so next time be a man and grow a pair of balls and call not text like a 17 yr old pimply face kid to state your case." This guy is an absolute unprofessional moron. How in the world is he still in business? Have you read his reviews? They're all terrible, all with very similar experiences. read more

The owner / person I dealt with is Mike Prestia told me that the shipping and his fee to ship a 2014 Ford Mustang inoperable from Copart in Wichita, KS to Auburn NY would be a total of $700; $100 his broker fee and $600 for the transporter . The car was promised to be picked up before 6/15/2016 before storage fees of $20 per day would start. Mike never contacted us afterwards about any changes to prices or pick-up dates. Nothing was sent for us to sign. On or about 6/16/2016 we received a call from the transporter ILK LLC - Lubov Feoktistova informing us that he picked the car up and would be delivering the car on 6-20-2016 and that we would need to pay him cash of $800. I told him it should be only $600, he said no and to call the broker Mike. We called Mike and left a message. Mike later called back with all sorts of ridiculous reasons and also being rude, argumentative, and blatant lying. It seems to be Mikes' way of operatating as many similar transactions have been posted in various online reviews about this vendor. We refused to pay Mike and started a case through our credit company (CHASE) they denied our claim; Chase stated he had provided the (broker) services. We stated to Case that he never followed the pricing and timing of the transport as he stated. Is that not what a broker is to do, broker a deal BUT within your framework. Ridiculous since we backed this with others that faced the same issues with Mike. We will still report to the BBB and also make some calls to the DA office in Staten Island NY. We ended up paying a total of over $900 due to storage fees because the vehicle was not picked up on time and the addition increase in the transport of $200. Dayton and Joan read more

What a rip off .stay away from Mike. ordered a car pickup a month before date. Mike assured me that they would come. Called several times to check on pickup and mike didn't even answer phone. Had to drive down to Florida lost plane tickets and a lot of stress. Snow birds beware Mike . This smooth, fast talking guy was nasty and very rude to try to deal with. let all your friends know NOT to use reliable transportation. God knows the name reliable certainly doesn't fit ! .ps just read other 4 other 1 star reviews. Ditto to them I guess the only 5 star rating was someone he personally knows Judy C. read more

Let me just say I wished I would have read the ratings before giving my business to this guy named Mike. My son, who is in the military needed his car transported and Mike offered an initial quote that was unbelievable. Mike was completely understanding, honest and trustworthy. Long story short, he lied and he ripped my son off doubling the initial quote and this, we didn't know until the car was already on its way. His reason for the increase? He said my son was posting too many times and Mike had to "beat the other brokers" by jacking up the rate and that my son had "agreed with the new rate", which was a total lie. On top of that, Mike stated my son's credit card declined when the bank statement clearly shows it went through. Then Mike switched his story around and blamed me before he rudely hung up as I was talking. I don't know how Mike can sleep at night--knowing he ripped off a military personnel. If I can give this guy lower than 1 star, I would! read more

This guy is beyond disrespectful. I had decided not to get a certain vehicle and when I called to cancel the order he proceeded to call me back cussing me and calling me retarded and a liar and many other profanities. I was astonished. And this is a company?! Then threatened if I did decide to transport that vehicle that he would make sure that no one would pick it up! Unbelievable! Calling me a P.o.s?! This guy is ridiculous and I'd advise to stay far FAR FAR FAR FAR away. Bullet dodged on this one. read more

Stay away from this lunatic, Mike. I sold a high dollar car to a guy on the East Coast who arranged through this guy to broker a transporter. After four different pick up dates and times I called him to complain. He ripped in to me with every dirty word in the book and threatened to have some guys come beat me up. I wouldn't trust this guy with a Barbie Jeep. Stay away, unless you like punishment. Check his Yelp reviews and BBB they are all terrible. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. Mike Prestia is the worst business, so called owner. He never takes ownership of his mistakes. It's never his fault. We booked this company to transport a car. We gave him our time frame. When it came down to a few days prior to pick up we had never received confirmation. He sent it to a wrong email. When we did receive it he had the info wrong. When we called him on it he said we were calling to change the pick up date and he was accommodating us. He took our deposit, which is illegal at this point and the car was to be picked up on Saturday. We called again to get info. He finally gave us the truck drivers number, which must have been a fake number because it goes straight to voicemail and no return text. The driver was supposedly coming from Long Beach. It is now Tuesday, more than 24 hours past the new pick up date and we're told via text that there was trouble at another pick up. I called Mike back and demanded a refund of our money and to cancel our agreement. I was yelled at and told the contract would be cancelled and a deposit refunded and promptly hung up on. I tried to call back and now nobody answers. I left a message that I will be reporting this business as fraud and a scam! Don't use or even consider this business! read more

im really glad i had to report my card stolen to cancel this. and for online reveiws avoiding scam. he changed his quotes witch was sketchy idk then he cussed out my mom, fuck off mike. tottal joey bag of donuts read more

Avoid at all costs. Intentionally under quoted me was never aware of the price increase until after the vehicle had been picked up. When I tried contacting him afterwards he ignored me. He's a pathological liar and he can't shut up for more than half a second. Trying to ask a simple question was like pulling teeth and required me listening to his b******* for 5mins. I pray that someone steps on his trachea and he loses the ability to speak because he's nothing but a shady businessman and scum. read more

I wish I could give negative star rating. Mike is who you will talk to not only dose he talk to you like an idiot but he is a con man! We agreed on a shipping price of 650.00. the time changed over a week ( I accepted that) then after I paid the deposit of 150.00 and the day the vehicle was to arrive I got the email saying I owed the driver 700.00. This was a 200.00 increase from the agreed amount because I already paid 150.00. When I called him on it he was belligerent then I called the seller I bought the car from and who recommended him and he in turn called him. Mike advised him a total different account of events. I sent the seller Mikes original emails and he saw that mike was scamming me. The seller paid the difference because I refused but mike still got his con. Stay away at all cost.... read more

Mike is a real snake in the grass. He gave a quote of $850 to over the phone to move the truck from Austin to CA. I paid him a deposit with a net due of $700. The truck sat in Austin for 2 weeks and when I complained he sent me a picture of a truck that had a broken axle. Then told me he had to switch to a new transport company. He claims to have sent an email to me explaining that my new cost was $1,200 upon delivery. It is a classic bait and switch. He never mentioned the new cost even though we talked. He was abusive on the phone and is not professional at all. All I can do is warn people NOT TO USE THIS guy. read more

Don't do business with this guy.Total fraud. He promised to transport my car to CA . After 7 days of promises he did not even try. I lost 1 week and after all Mike is very rude and unprofessional. read more

DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS!! NOT HONEST !! The person Mike that I spoke to completely lied about what kind of service he could provide. He promised a next day pick up that turned into 2 days then promised a 5 day delivery that turned into not getting our car for 2 weeks. When calling to check on shipping , Mike said he would work something out with the trucking company, I followed up, he never called the trucking company to try and make it work. Very sloppy and careless work. He's all about trying to get business by lying to customers. He is completely a Liar and rude!! read more

this guy is a total asshole and scam artist!!!! he jerked me around with the price to move my car from ca to ny. he totally screwed me on the price and when i called him out on it, he left a message (which i am putting on youtube) calling me a bitch and telling me to shove the deal and car and my review up the "crack of my ass". well, mike, you can stick your company out the crack of your ass!!!! do not do business with him!!!! he is mean, nasty, and completely unprofessional. read more
