Dependable Auto Shippers

Pros: Generally helpful customer service people and staff, car treated well
Cons: Confused logistics management, on-line tracking doesn't always work

Like many others here, I did a decent amount of homework prior to retaining a car shipper. Also like others, I picked Dependable because they appeared to have the "best" overall feedback. Most was positive, a few complaints, the latter mostly about...

Pros: Car arrived 2 weeks ahead of schedule, clean car, good service, accurate order tracking
Cons: A little more expensive, but worth the extra bucks...read my review.

Very few things in life surprise me anymore, so when my expectations are exceeded, I rush here to praise it. Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS) is one of them. I've used a few auto shippers before buying my cars on eBay and having them shipped from ...

Pros: Cars arrived without damage; clean and washed. The pickup and dropoff drivers were very nice.
Cons: It took over a month to get a car.

My wife and I moved from Pittsburgh PA to the bay area in California, and since we have a 1 yr old child, we decided to ship our two cars and fly across the nation. We shipped a Subaru forester and a Nissan Maxima with DAS from Pittsburgh, PA to ...

Pros: Great online quoting system. Great Tracking system.
Cons: Couldn't find one.

Attempting to ship a vehicle from Washington to Virginia, I surely had to do my research. The first online quote I received was from DAS. Initial reaction was expensive, yet I was asking West Coast to East Coast, in an enclosed carrier, and top loaded. ...

Pros: ??? price?
Cons: going 0 for 2 leaves a bad taste in your mouth

Another thumbs down, "good lord, take the women and children and hide" for DAS: We recently moved from Boston to the Bay Area (Los Altos). I read LOTS about auto shippers, and decided in the end to go with DAS...it was tough, because just about every ...

Pros: Cheapest quote if you use terminal-to-terminal, Courteous & helpful staff.
Cons: Not quite on time, Unreliable online tracking, Long hold period at origin terminal

After reading all the reviews here, I decided to take my chances with DAS. Given their low rates for terminal to terminal shipping, I didnt quite have too many choices in that price range. Luckily, my car arrived in one piece, without any significant ...

Pros: Arrived 6 days earlier. Friendly sales people. Flawless online tracking. No damage whatsoever to car.
Cons: Thankfully, none....for me.

This is my very first epinion review, and the reason I am writing this is because I feel as though I should provide you with my experience in shipping a vehicle using DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers). Like many reviewers, I read through hundreds of ...

Pros: Tracking worked great, very fast once the car gets assigned. Car was received undamaged.
Cons: LONG initial wait, LONG hold times, customer service reps are like zombies.

After buying a car sight unseen from Ohio, I needed to find a way to transport it to CA. I contemplated flying out and driving, but decided it would be more cost and time effective to get the car shipped. Trying to find a shipper was the most difficult ...

Pros: none
Cons: everything-see above

On December 19, 2007, I dropped my car off at the San Diego terminal. I paid an extra $250 (total cost $884) to ensure my car would arrive in Ohio by December 28, 2007, as I am a student and need transportation to and from class. I was told in ...

Pros: Polite customer service on telephone. Not helpful, just polite.
Cons: Late, unreliable, unorganized, unhelpful, farms bike jobs to Daily Direct & their customer service.

There was a link to Dependable Auto Shippers on the page where the motorcycle I bought on ebay was listed. I checked out a few other places and "DAS" seemed to have a decent price so I went with them. On the phone they told me they ship motorcycles and ...

Pros: Someone always available at the other end of the line, but read on.
Cons: Wow, only 15 words allowed to describe the cons and I've used... get the point?

After reading this epinion, please read the other, similarly negative reviews. You may find a common thread. I sent a cashiers check for an auto I bought from a small, classic car dealership in Florida on 3/26/2004. That same day I paid for transport ...

Pros: Reasonable prices, timely delivery, better service than most
Cons: Lack of communication, confusion on pick-up

Auto Shipping/relocating is sometimes a black hole- you don't know what you're getting into, and there aren't many resources to help the prospective customer. These shipping companies are lightning quick to send out testimonials on their behalf, trying...

Pros: excellent service, support, and courtesy
Cons: As long as nothing goes wrong, it's fine. Otherwise, you're screwed.

Time for an update..... This time my $4,000 new paint job was covered in transmission fluid and oil, destroying it. No matter how many times you use a company, you don't really know how they are until something bad happens. That's when the real ...

Pros: good price, great customer service, perfect online tracking system, quick delivery, Saturday drop-off/pick-up
Cons: none

We were moving from Miami, FL to Bellevue, WA and had 2 cars to transport (Toyota Tercel and VW Golf). The first thought after reading the reviews on epinion.com was to drive the cars ourselves :-) But after considering the prices and the reviews of ...

Pros: Fast, safe, reliable
Cons: None in my case

I had a car need to be moved from California to Massachusetts. After having bad experience with 2 other car moving companies and letting the car sitting at friend's house over a month, I chose DAS not without concern (mainly from those negative reviews...
