    Fiberglass roof cannot be repaired.  Need replacement
    Ashley S.

    So this is the worst company we have ever dealt with. My husband and I had a 2025 Jeep wrangler transported from Florida to Colorado. We contracted with this company and were given a price. A few days before pickup we received a call that they had found a carrier but the price had increased. With little options we approved. Then we received a text offering an upsell "safer option " including top carry and VIP phone access which we paid for. What a joke. There is no phone. When you call them you get a message that their system is down. This went on for weeks. Of course if you call them for a quote they pick up right away. So the "top carry" never happened. They placed the Jeep on a low level and it sustained $9500 dollars worth of damage to the top. Be advised if your vehicle sustains any damage you will be filling a claim with your own insurance company. These cars are considered "cargo " and the usual automobile insurance policies don't apply. You are at the mercy of the carrier's cargo deductible which you need to chase down separately in addition to chasing down their insurance company for the remainder. Forget diminished value or rental car coverage. SGT will be of zero assistance. In fact you will not be able to get in touch with them. The only time they called (which was on multiple occasions) was to offer us money to take down negative reviews . I don't think so. They couldn't pay me enough You will see their AI generated response below. They don't tell you that they took my money for a top carry upsell but had no intention of notifying the carrier so THEY are directly responsible for the damage. And they will not refund that charge . They don't tell you that once you pay you will not be able to contact them. You will get a recorded message that their phone system is down. ALL THE TIME ! I guess that's cheaper than hiring a person. They don't tell you that they manipulate reviews by offering payouts to people that post negative reviews. I'll look into that further but I believe that is a violation of FTC guidelines and if so I will be reporting it. If you look at other online reviews that have NOT been bought off you will see other clients have had similar experiences. It amazes me that in this day and age with the resources consumers have available , that this company actually stays in business. I guess I did not due the proper due diligence , went with the lowest bid which then turned out to be the highest, and fell for the bait and switch . Don't make my mistake.

    DO NOT use SGT auto transport. The are NOT the company that actually transports your car and DO NOT take responsibility for the terrible carriers they have contracts with. SGT paired me with Ozuu Express which is essentially just a scam company. They delivered my car over one week late, and that's not the worst part. They were completely unresponsive during this time. Even SGT couldn't get ahold of them and this is their contracted carrier! The actual worst part is, my car arrived seriously damaged with two huge dents on the roof. These dents were then spray painted over to try and hide the damage (which is probably why it was over a week late). The damage will cost thousands to repair since a new roof is needed, and of course Ozuu did not voluntarily disclose the damage. When I brought it up to SGT, they were no help/took no responsibility. I've literally never had a worse experience with a so-called "business". Please do not use this company if you care about your car. I literally never leave reviews but I wish someone had warned me. RESPONSE: There is no need to clarify your involvement. If you bothered to read the first sentence of my review you would see I got it right. I never said your company shipped the cars but you are responsible for arranging the transport with reputable carriers, which you failed to do. What would you call a company that ghosts you, arrives over a week late, yells at you, and tries to cover up damage they caused to your car? You forgot to mention that even now the carrier Ozuu Express fails to respond. They quite literally took my money and ran. You were also paid in the process, yet your response also reiterates that you have no sense of responsibility.

    **BUYER BEWARE!** I recently purchased a Tesla in New Jersey and needed it transported to California. Before booking, I made it VERY clear to every company I spoke with that I had a vacation scheduled in two weeks (Memorial weekend). SGT Auto Transport assured me that was "more than enough time" for delivery, so I trusted them with the shipment. Our contract listed a pickup window between 5/8/26 and 5/12/26, with a guaranteed delivery date of 5/20/26. Even with the latest possible pickup date, they claimed they could transport the car cross-country in 8 days. SGT then subcontracted the shipment to Ozuu Express LLC -- the "professional and reputable carrier" they supposedly stand behind. We heard absolutely nothing until the final pickup day. That afternoon, I was told the driver would arrive between 5-8 PM and would call an hour before arrival. No call ever came, and the driver finally showed up at 8:20 PM. By then it was already dark, making it impossible to properly inspect the vehicle before handing it over. Then things got worse. For the next SEVEN DAYS, I watched my Tesla sit unmoved in the transporter's parking lot through the Tesla app. During that entire time, I repeatedly tried contacting Ozuu Express, but none of their phone numbers worked. When I contacted SGT instead, their phone system suddenly had a recording claiming they were experiencing phone issues and directing customers to online chat support. Since 5/18/26 -- the day the car finally left New Jersey, just TWO DAYS before the promised delivery date -- I was in contact with SGT every single day. The entire time I've received nothing but vague updates and excuses. SGT repeatedly told me they were "trying to reach the carrier" to understand why the vehicle sat for seven days and where it currently was. They also said they were working on a partial refund for the trouble that was caused, but never once got back to me on it. When I followed up on it, they hid behind the "road conditions and weather may cause delays" excuse. Anyone with google can easily disprove this claim. They know the delay had nothing to do with any of that, and everything to do with the vehicle sitting idle in a parking lot for 7 straight days. And they're dodging responsibility. As expected, the driver called while I was away on vacation. I had no one available to receive the car and was told that if I didn't allow them to leave it in my driveway, the vehicle would be taken to a tow yard and I would be charged daily storage fees until I returned. I was left with no choice but to have the vehicle left in my driveway with no way of verifying damage. AVOID AT ALL COST! CHOOSE A REPUTABLE COMPANY! THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!

    The bill I was sent. My car is still here in SF, $353 out of my bank account and I can't get a hold of a customer service rep to cancel.

    NIGHTMARE PLEASE DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THIS COMPANY I called SGT in a haste because I needed to transport my car from San Francisco, CA to Southern California, it was the first auto transport that popped up in my search so I called for a quote and it sounded fair, so I moved forward with it. The representative hardly gave me any info I had to ask a lot of questions and still was left uneasy. They quoted me $895 for open tow then called on the morning of pickup and said the only available option is enclosed tow for $1100. I said NO, this is not what we agreed on. Later they call again saying "ok we're 30 minutes away can you meet." They NEVER called prior to pickup to confirm a date or time, of course I was at work so the short notice wasn't going to cut it. The whole experience felt very seedy and dishonest. I began to worry about the safety of my car, if they could potentially lose or steal my car. I had to cancel the whole service. I sent an email which I haven't received a reply from and tried calling but now their line is experiencing "high call volume" and they want to send me to a live chat. I'm asking for a refund, they've already charged me $353 after having confirmed a "dispatch" however my car is still in SF and no one has contacted me again since this billing. I have requested a refund and I know they are avoiding it. Worst customer service and overall communication. If anyone knows of any reliable and trustworthy car transport professionals in California please let me know as I am still stressing out trying to have my car moved

    Pretty much seamless. They are all relatively expensive so that shouldn't play into decision

    Straight forward with the quote. They worked out all of the details and the car got there at the same time I did.

    Quick delivery, price matched with other carrier, and no damage to vehicle in route. I chose them due to their high rating.

    Ask the Community - SGT Auto Transport

    I have already made a reservation for my car to be picked up April 30, 2025. At what point will I find out when my car is to be picked up?

    The transport company will want a three days window to pick up your vehicle. If you said 4/30, i would contact them to confirm the reservation and ask if the three day window begins on the 30th.

    Will their quote change once transporter arrives?

    SGT contract reads in fine print that you are only allowed 100 pounds in the vehicle being picked up. they then charge $100. for every additional 100 pounds of part thereof. Paid for additional weight and vehicle never scaled for weight, scammers…

    Eric brokered my auto transport and I could not be happier. I had my 2018 Audi A6 transported from…read moreRichmond, VA to Tacoma, WA. The carrier arrived on time and the vehicle arrived safely. Would recommend.

    I would have loved to give Knickerbocker a positive review. Initial calls with Eric were great. He…read morewas super responsive and even though there were some challenges (drove to the middle of nowhere New Jersey to drop my car) it was a reasonable price compared to others. Issues were threefold: - Eric basically represented and used a facility that does its own direct auto transport. When questioned (because they were cheaper) he highlighted his business as better due to a number of factors. None of these ended up coming to fruition. - the Rando he got to transport my car was horrible. Lack of communication or updates. Ended up delivering the car two or three days later than promised (meaning I missed being able to inspect the car). And throughout the process was full of lies regarding arrival time and why he wasn't delivering on time. - car was damaged during transport but because I was out of town for 2 months after the fact and wasn't able to confirm and share this with Eric (because it was delivered late) I had no recourse for costs to fix the damage. - finally, In reviewing his end of year books, Eric got confused about a voided transaction (I had been charged twice initially and there was a void in his books). He assumed that it was me doing it due to my dissatisfaction and charged my credit card again without confirming the issue with me. He left messages while I was in a meeting and then charged my card without confirming. When I called, he apologized for his angry action but for someone who highlights professionalism amongst his traits, I feel this was way out of line. I was going to just leave things as is and not write a review and leave things as they were in August but given the action he took today I felt compelled to warn others.
