Earlier today, I called Transport Connection. There was no answer, so I hung up and planned to call back in the afternoon. A bit later I saw I had a new voicemail message -- I checked it and heard an angry message from a man named Bill claiming to be the owner and president of Transport Connection. He berated me for having the audacity to call his business number and not leave a message, and scolded me that if I was too lazy (his word) to leave a message, I shouldn't have called in the first place. He sounded downright furious. I don't know much about the transport service that Bill provides. It may be excellent, for all I know. It's clear, however, that his customer service skills are deplorable. I'd hate to be in any situation where I had to work with him to resolve an issue that came up with an auto transportation that he'd coordinated. I should have checked the reviews here first. read more

5/3/2016: This morning I received a message from Bill Avrich indicating that I must change my review on Yelp in order to prevent "legal action" from a civil lawsuit. Per Bill Avrich: "This is your FINAL notice that unless your slanderous review is immediately removed, I will be seeking both actual and punitive damages against you, as you are personally liable for your comments. This is something that I would not take lightly if I were you." Please be aware of who you are dealing with if you decide to work with Bill Avrich. Best of luck Bill Avrich. read more

Would be giving this guy a -5 star if I could. Asked Bill how this transporting vehicle works because it would be our first time transporting a vehicle, he was RUDE, "drive it yourself then." read more

Requested an on-line quote for getting a car shipped. The guy called me and I explained I was just getting quotes at this time and requested that he not call me any more. He then called no less than 15 times screaming profanity in my ear and when I blocked the number he started calling from other numbers. This guy is psycho! read more

Wow this guy is the rudest most self obsessed person I've met in a LONG time! So I get a quote from transport reviews, great price. Leave a message on company's voicemail, get a call back a few hours later. The owner/salesman/representative instantly states that is not the actual price, it'll be higher. He goes on about how his company is "number one in the universe", how he drives an "aston martin and porsche", and how he offers the best service, which is why his price is higher than the rest. I question why his deposit is so high compared to others, he says "what kind of question is that". In the end of the conversation, he says "i can tell you're cheap by your name, goodbye" and hangs up the phone! LOLOL yeah man best service in the universe. This is how you win customers. 0 stars. Don't believe transport reviews, this guy is a total douche. Waste of time and effort. read more

Don't get on this guys bad side and ask for less emails. I would never do business with anyone's who treated any customer like this after one email, even if mine was even half as rude as his was, in the first place (which it wasn't). Honestly disgusting behavior for a business owner. read more

Please reach out to him and offer him a hug. The lord will be calling him soon. Please sir have flame retardant clothes on because where the lord is sending you, you will need them. read more

I called to get a quote and was told to F*** off and I am a sleazy used car salesmen because I informed him(Bill who told me he was the owner) I received better quotes and before I could ask if he would do any better he continued to go off on me Not exactly a way to gain clients read more

If I could leave no stars, I would. I went to a website to get information on transporting a car from my home in KS to my new home in IL. I was bombarded with calls, and I chose the first one that called me. After telling a few others that I had already contracted with someone, I was called by this company. I told him that I had already contracted someone, he calls me a b*^&(, a wh)*&, and threatened to slit my throat. He called the company that I chose a racial slur I contacted he police where I live. I had no idea where this guy was located , until after the cops told me. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. This guy is obviously nuts, and has no idea how to handle rejection. read more

FOREWORD: Wait until I upload the video of the owner Bill (William Avrich) cursing me out. This guy is a character- he reminds me of "Frito" from the movie Idiocracy. Seriously, this is one of those guys who is so stupid that he can't see just how stupid he is... Life itself, literally goes over his head. JUNE 28: I filled out a couple of online forms for a transport quote. As it turns out, they weren't "real" transport companies, but aggregators that spam your data to dozens of companies (similar to Expedia for flights). JUNE 29 3:59 AM I immediately started getting bombarded with emails and phone quotes and most of them were from Bill (Transport Connection). After doing some research, I accepted a quote (NOT from Bill) and my car was transported safely to Tampa in 2 days. JUNE 30 - JULY 14 3 weeks later, I'm still receiving quotes (in fact, I got one today!). Bill emailed me on July 1,3,6,8,10,14 and each one, I clicked Unsubscribe. On the 14th, I got so annoyed, I replied with "NO, I TOLD YOU FOR THE 20TH TIME!" and this didn't fly very well with Bill. Apparently, he thought that was an invitation to stalk and harass me via phone because he called me at 8AM to interrupt my waffles and tea just to curse me out. BILL: "Idiot! Idiot! I only emailed you one fuc**** time." ... He tried to go into some epic rant so I hung up on him. Apparently, bill is unaware that his computer is operating by itself (Look ma, no hands). That's right, this so called "professional" is really just a computer-illiterate mass spammer who sought to start a phone fight over an email exchange. But it doesn't stop there. 2 MINUTES LATER... Bill called me back 2 minutes later for more comical relief. He was panting and breathing heavy with long pauses between his words: "Hey... Hey idiot... I... I don't do business with idiots... BYE IDIOT!" After I hung up on him for the second time, I started to think about it: Was I really an idiot? Says the man who's best insult is "idiot" and calls you 2 weeks after requesting a quote. submitted. And for that, I say Touché... Hats off to you, Bill. read more

I received a quote from this company to transport my Jeep from VA to AR. I read some reviews and emailed Bill to tell him I was no longer interested. This is the response I got from the "president:" After reading your senseless email, I counter, "thanks but no thanks", as it appears that you are not intelligent enough to qualify as a client of mine. Blocked and good riddance. Regards, Bill Avrich Disgusting. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Total jerks. read more

Was just looking for bids for a car shipment. Bill from Transportation Connection called and first he wanted me to review his business by looking at his links and reviewing his marketing BS, then he tried telling me how bright and articulate I was. Told him Wednesday I just posted the request for proposals and was going to review them over the weekend and have a decision by early next week. He then called back Friday and when I told him his prices were higher than all others, he got angry and even started using profanity. Something I really dont want in my life and something you could probably do without as well. read more

DO NOT EVEN CALL THIS COMPANY!!! I was calling around to get auto transportation quotes for an upcoming relocation across the company. I called the toll free number because I found it online. There was strange music playing and after 20-30 seconds of no answer, I hung up. The music didn't sound professional so I thought I possibly called the wrong number and didn't give it another thought. I get a call back within about a minute. "You just called me. You only let it go through half a ring and hung up! Who is this?!" - the tone was very aggressive. I said, "I have been calling around for auto shipping quotes. I think I know which number this was and there wasn't any ringing but after a bit of music I hung up after no answer." He started to argue with me about how long I let it ring. I said "You are being rude and it's obvious that I will not be doing business with you after this conversation so I am going to hang up" His response, screaming into the phone "F*** you you F***ing whore. Suck my F***ing D*ck!!!" So of course I hung up...... About 2-3 minutes later, he starts calling my number repeatedly. I obviously don't pick up but declined the call each time. Wow.....just wow. What wonderful customer service right? Do yourself a favor and please call ANY OTHER company! read more

They had a very high rating so I requested an instant quote to move my husband's Jeep to Tucson. They came back with $820, so I emailed back to start setting things up. The emails go to the president of the company, who first replied asking, didn't I want to know how the process worked first? Then he emailed me with an updated quote for $1,050, saying the initial quote accounted for the mileage and not the route. This was my email response: "OK, then please disregard my previous email; we definitely can't afford that. And we're familiar with the process; we're a military family and have done this with our vehicle many times before . Thanks!" And here was his reply: "You may have done it before but I do it for a living on a daily basis and therefore, I know a thousand times more about the process and pricing than you do. I am deleting your information from my database. No need to bother replying to this email because I have already set your email address to SPAM/AUTO PURGE so my server will not allow any further emails from you to reach my inbox or even my spam folder, as they will be deleted the very instant they come in. Regards, B ... A ... President Transport Connection" I feel this company treated me with great disrespect. I chose not to use them because of the way the president treated me as a customer. read more

Agree with all of the negative reviews here. The following is an email exchange I had with this guy: Me: Can you do this for under $1000 and guarantee a pickup on a weekend day Thanks. Bill: You should either sell the car or drive it yourself as you are not a financially qualified candidate for the auto transport industry. Regards, Bill Avrich Me: Seriously? !? Bill: Seriously. You obviously cannot afford the rates that the carriers charge by what you are telling me. Regards, Bill Avrich Me: I appreciate your interesting response. I have found several other more reliable and honest carriers to assist me with the transport of my Mercedes. I will certainly keep your company in mind as one to avoid when I think about transporting my other vehicles. Needless to say, I found another transport company that did a great job for a much lower price. I was just floored by the rudeness of this guy. Amazing that he is still in business. read more

Yelp needs to let us give ZERO or MINUS stars... this guy was so bad he didn't even deserve ONE! I received two separate quotes, about $100 difference. I also received two phone calls. On the first call I told him I was hoping to get the car transported for $500 or less. He said, "Then you better get in your car and drive it yourself." And hung up on me. The second phone call I asked if he wasn't the guy I just spoke to. He said, "Oh you're the one who doesn't want to pay anything." I told him I received two quotes from him, and wanted to know which was right. He proceeded to tell me I was crazy if I thought any automated telemarketing quotes were reliable. Both quotes came from his email address. I began telling him again that I had received a quote close to what I wanted, then he cut me off. He said, "You should just sell your piece of shit car because it is worthless anyway. Fuck off." And hung up on me. Wow!! Rude, rude, rude!! This guy needs to retire. Check out the reviews folks... He has a reputation for cussing out potential customers and being insulting and rude. Stay away from this guy!!! I guess I should have read his email more closely: "HERE, YOU DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE OWNER. If you are simply seeking the cheapest quotes, then we are definitely not the company for you. CHEAP QUOTES DON'T MOVE CARS. " read more

this company is the worst broker of car transports I ever had to deal with . The owner , Bill harassed and threatened me with emails because i didn't provide him with my current phone #. A very sick individual who does not belong in the service industry people beware, never, never give out your phone # as they will never stop calling you until they get your business. I would never trust this person to do business with.......car transporters BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I have used Bill to transfer my customer Infinity from Southern California to San Francisco I received best and fastest service Called Bill in the morning and in the afternoon carrier was in my driveway and my customer car was on the way. I will definitely recommend and use him again. Thanks Bill. read more

I was sad to see I was not the only person treated very rudely, disrespectfully and unprofessional. I contacted the company via internet inquiry for a quote to transport my car, however, when he called me I was driving and we were disconnected. The reason we were disconnected i was driving through the mountains and lost service. The man - who didn't leave his name - left the following message, "why are you picking up your phone and then immediately hang up afterwards. What's the point of going on line and requesting a quote if your going to play games". About an hour later, when I was able, I returned his call spoke to the same man respectful telling him I didn't hang up. He said I don't seem like the kind of person who would hang up. I said I am not. He told me I must have gotten a wrong number. I said no I recognize your voice but I just want you to know that was very unprofessional. Now had this man said I'm sorry and gave me some excuse I would have continued doing business, however, this is not what happened. Instead he got irate with me and starred yelling at me. I hung up because I did it call to be yelled at but in hopes of doing business. Not happening! The Company is rude and disrespectful. I would not trust a company with theses kids of ethics. This man if he is an employee should be trained on customer service or let go. If he is the owner (as I suspect he is) it's time to retire. FYI: I'm keeping the voice mail. read more

This guy deserve zero star i called him for pricing and after he gave me the quote i told him i will call some other places he got so mad by that and he called me " youre f..cking cheap indian and he said why r u coming to usa if you dont wanna spend money" He was very rude and racist i dont reccomend to do business with him at all dont even try. read more

I called Bill for a quote and he gave me a quote of 1500+250 broker fee and very impatient and gave me attitude, I was like, I will check with other companies and hung up the phone. He called me back and call me fucking cheap asshole. He is a douchebag. I have never done business like these before. read more

Horrible Attitude. I put in a request for shipment of the car. He gives me a quote and when I asked if he can match someone else's quote, he started using 4 letter words. Mind you this is just for getting a quote, the owner Bill has not customer service experience and is foul mouth. Stay away from this outfit as their price is not competitive either. read more

This guy was a pure racist. He was very rude in explaining the price quote and telling my options. I would never recommend this to anybody. This is my first ever review and I was so pissed that I wanted to write it out and suggest people to not waste this time with these horrible carriers. I wish I could give a 0 Rating. read more

Negative star rating!! The guy you have answering this number (Bill) is rude as hell!! He was more concerned with me using capitol letters in my quote request that he didn't even try to handle business and didn't even give a quote. To top it off he just called me back from an unlisted number and cursed me out ..on my voicemail!! Who in their right mind does that?? Now he won't stop calling!! He clearly has mental and anger issues. I will be leaving negative feed back on every single site about this company and "BILL". He is bad for business because you just lost mine!! If he keeps calling me I will get the authorities involved!! read more

Bill picked up my car and transported it. When it arrived, it was scratched and had damage like a rock hit it. Bill claims ignorance and leaves my car, wont return calls or emails. read more

I signed up through a web referral service and received several emails from Transport Connection. I was trying to determine how much shipping my car would cost and did not know it would lead to multiple emails and phone calls. I missed a call from Transport Connection and thought it was a call for a birthday party for my son. Transport Connection answered, I answered that it was a wrong number (I needed to follow up on the birthday party and didn't have time). Bill immediately said "Fuck you". My eight year old and three year old were in the car and heard this. I immediately hung up. Although I am still in the market for shipping my vehicle, it won't be with Bill. read more

Terrible experience with this company president Bill Avrich!!! I quoted online for service and talked with Bill. However, no agreement was arrived and shortly after that, I found out a better deal and declined his service. He wrote me an email, like why I didn't choose his service and I simply replied with the reason above. OK. Here is what I got from him... I can't understand what his problem is... I pasted the EXACT lines he wrote: "No, the real reason is because you are a CHEAPSKATE and don't want to pay the hard working carriers out there the amount of money that they require to move your vehicle. These men work hard and have families to support. Shame on you for being so cheap!" I was very upset after reading this rude email. As he explained to me, the carrier who is responsible for the shipping is the same for different company. There is no way I could get any quote price lower than what he gave to me. However, what I found out was that a lot other companies just simply charged way less. The only reason I could think of is that he is not honest and trying to get the most out of your pocket. Hi Bill, I respect those hard-working carrier workers and I will pay them decently for their efforts. But my money is also hard-earned and I will not give it to any one who is not honest and very rude, which you are an exact example! read more

Worked with Bill on my new truck transport. Professional and trustworthy. Just as presented. Thanks!

Bill provided a quote, and it was exactly what we paid. Car arrived on the east coast in the same condition as it left, and on time. Looked great when we picked it up. We had a good experience with Bill. read more

I would definitely recommend Transport Connection! This was my first experience shipping a vehicle and Bill (the owner of Transport Connection) was great to work with! He explained to my husband and I exactly how the process worked and got our car safely to our destination in 2 days!! We shipped my husband's car from Jacksonville, Florida to San Diego, California when we were moving because of my husband's military orders. Bill found us a carrier fast and that was high quality! Bill was always available when we needed him to answer any questions. He has obviously been in this business a long time! I'm a nurse - most recently employeed at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. And my husband is a US Navy doctor. We would recommend Transport Connection to any of our family or friends needing to ship a vehicle! read more

I am going to go out of my way to let people know how big of a douchebag this guy is. I put a inquiry in on a 3rd party websites to transport a vehicle from florida to missouri, i got a bunch of calls and some good quotes, this guy calls me gives me his quote and i politely answer no thank you, what does he do ? he proceeds to call me cheap and tell me to move it myself ? why because i got a lower quote somewhere else? I am livid right now and again i will make sure to let every site, review possible know about my experience with this company. That is not the way to do business. read more

Yelp doesn't allow me to leave a negative rating, so 1 star is the lowest I can get. I want to ship my car from OH to CA, and I got a quote from Bill Avrich from Transport Connection, and later I decided to go with another carrier and I sent a polite response to him: "I am sorry that I used another company, thank you for the offer though." And then I got an email in a few minutes from uracheapskate@hotmail.com saying: "That's because it's your nature to be a cheapskate and that's why you will always get screwed in life. You should've gone to either Wal-Mart or Costco. I'm sure that they both could've beaten whatever low-ball offer that other boiler room shit-hole company got you in the door and scammed you with." I have never seen a person as rude in business and I am just glad I didn't go with his company in the first place. read more

I have never been so insulted in my life. I called to get a quote to ship my car and didn't receive an answer so I didn't leave a message. Why did Bill call me back and go off on me. I am like this man is crazy and rude and doesn't know what good customer service is. I am so glad he didn't answer the phone when I 1st called. I would not want him to handle anything I have. read more

My experience with Bill was several months ago. I put a review up then but he called my job and told them he would sue them and wanted me fired if I didn't remove it. He stalked me on social media threatening me. But what he didn't know is that my family is both law enforcement and works in the criminal justice system in South Florida. My review: I called Transport Connection one morning when I researched companies to transport a couple of cars across different states. The call went straight to voicemail so I left a message asking for some information about transporting vehicles and the company. He called me back but got my assistant, to whom he was yelling at and saying "someone called me from this number but I don't remember who it is so you need to figure it out." She got the message to me. I called him back and he picked up yelling "HELLO" I said "Hello is this Transport Connection" He said "yes stop playing on my phone. you sound like a dirty, dumb n****r" I said "excuse me "I'm calling for a quote". He said "I would never help you b***h get off my phone" I told my assistant. I put my review up and that is when the real hate started. He called my job and wanted to talk to HR, my supervisor and the president to get my fired because I put up a review on yelp. My job fully supported me but I decided to take the review down. He called me back but this time I sent the cal straight to my father whom is law enforcement. He missed out on transporting 10+ cars. I have also received messages from people who saw my first review and said they experienced some of the same things. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!! read more

So I have never moved a car before and put an inquiry out through a third party company. I get calls from people all morning who are polite and understanding when I realized it was much more than I thought. When I tell Bill Avarich its more than I thought he proceeds to tell me I should buy a cheaper car if I don't want to pay that much. I hang up the phone and he proceeds to call me multiple times leaving harassing messages calling me profane names and cursing as though I had somehow offended him... I would never do business with this company if you PAID me. I have never been so blatantly disrespected in my life. read more

I called this business this morning, but the call went to voicemail. Rather than leave a message, I chose to hang up and call another company. Later he called me back, yelling, "Why did you call my voicemail and not leave a message?!" Caught off guard and not knowing who he was, I said I don't know. To which he responded, "Well, you're an idiot, don't call my number back." I called the number back to see which company he was representing. When the voicemail greeting came on, i immediately made the connection... He's the company with all the bad reviews.. Makes sense. I told him that he was the idiot, and his bad reviews are well earned. He called me back and left a 40 second voicemail, which I chose to delete rather than listen to, but I'm sure it was classy. Grateful for the horrible telephone interaction.. I'm sure it saved me from a nightmare of a business transaction. read more

Initially contacted Transport Connection to get a transport scheduled. Talked to Bill which is the owner of Transport Connection. Quoted me his fee of $150 and then listed the car to be shipped from Denver to Salt Lake City for $275.01 and would go up to $300 if it didnt move in a few days. My total budget was $450, which I made very clear. He would then call and said he found a company to move the car, but all at higher cost than he quoted. Do NOT hire this company as he is using bait and switch methods. Quoting low, and then trying to charge you higher prices. read more

DISGUSTING AND RUDE. I would give him -10 if I could. My friend gave me his number said he used him a few times and that he is a used car salesman type and kind of jerky but got the job done. Ok, no biggie. Called and got his non existent answering message saying that he has not set up his service. When he called back I politely let him know that his service was not set and informed me that he does that on purpose because he hates when people are trying to call him while he is on the phone. Ahhh, is this not what you want as a business, calls? Anyway, he gives me a quick quote after 5 minutes of complaining about his jerk carriers. I said thanks and that was it. I even said to my husband well through the roughness maybe it is a good thing that he has no tolerance for BS with the carriers and only uses reliable ones. After some thought I went with another company who quoted me the same price but was super informative and friendly. 20 min later I get a call from Bill. "Ah, yeah, weren't you the one who I just quoted a Mazda for I just saw your car on the board. Me: Yes, that was me. Bill: your going with a loser no-name company that just got their license one month ago? Me: Ah, yes I have gone with another company thanks for your time. Bill: F**K you, you F**king C**T. Then just hangs up on me. OMG who says that. How does he have any business. I tried calling him back and it just went to his NOT set-up answering service. Thank goodness I did not go with him. That was just insane. Bill, if you read this get some anger management therapy it is not healthy. read more

terrible terrible terrible guy, do not even bother with whatever business he is pose to have. He rude very rude, tried bargaining me that the company i had wasnt good when he didnt know who the company was. He got on central dispatch and found my car, called me back after i told him i was good, and insisted that the company was bad and all sorts of bad things, i couldnt even talk he was just yelling and talking crazy so i hung up. he called back twice i didnt answer and he texted me and called me an idiot. dont even bother with this guy people!!!! read more

Bill was a great person to work with. He spent more than an hour on the phone with my cousin to work out the logistics of moving our car. He quoted us 900 and because he found a driver who would take the car earlier, he was able to talk them down to 800. He also was super responsive in answering text messages and voicemails. He's a straight shooter and good at what he does. Thanks for service bill! read more
