Hire a Credible Auto Transport Company:
Many dishonest auto transport companies are out there to get people’s money, so it is extremely important only to use a credible transporter to ship your car. Here are some useful tips to help you locate a credible and trustworthy auto transport company:
- Look for a company with an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau
- Look at their Google and Bird Eye reviews
- Make sure they have a Motor Carrier number and an insurance policy
- Visit their physical office if possible to ensure they are a legit business
- Compare their quotes with other transport companies and ensure they are not too cheap or too expensive as both of these are red flags
Have a Mechanic Check The Car:
If your car is in working condition, have a mechanic check it for any potential problems that need fixing before you ship it.
You should check and make sure that all the fluids are in good condition, tires are inflated properly, loose parts are tightened, brakes are working correctly, and there are no leaks.
Wash & Wax the Car:
Use a detergent specifically made for cleaning cars and get the car completely dry before you go any further. Use a clean and soft brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove all the dust and dirt from the exterior of the car. At Last, wax it to protect the paint.
This will also help you spot any damages to the car already as to note down in the inspection report. This way, you can compare if the car received any additional damages during the transit, which you can use to file a claim for compensation.
Use Enclosed Carrier:
We recommend using an enclosed carrier for Mach 1 rather than a carrier that’s open from all sides.
Using an enclosed carrier will protect your car from the environmental and weather elements, theft and damages caused by other vehicles or accidents.
Get Additional Insurance:
Even though the enclosed carrier has higher insurance coverage, you can opt for additional insurance if your Mach 1 has a very high value.
At Easy Auto Ship, we offer additional $100k coverage for free, but you can also opt for GAP coverage that covers the gap between the total damage cost and the money offered by the insurer.
Hire someone Experienced in Classic Cars:
This is the most important point to consider before moving your Mach 1 1969 Mustang because it is a classic vehicle and a really expensive one. You don’t want an amateur to handle it. A slight scratch or dent can cost you a fortune to fix.
