Daniel Alar great to work with

Daniel helped ship my car from Ohio to Alaska. He made the process easy and I could text him anytime to check on the status. Would recommend Sonic Auto. He updated me throughout the process.

Tranport

Eleanor was great. She was very professional and accommodating to our needs plus she found us the best price possible . She went above and beyond. ..

I will make sure we use this Transport company in the future, as we do have transports periodically..

Every one in the office was pretty nice. Our driver ( transporter) was nice enough to deliver our car right to my sisters driveway. That in its self was pretty awesome and my sister was grateful and surprised.

Thank you again to all Sonic Transport Employees.

Sincerely,

Long-distance move from Phoenix, AZ to South Bend, IN

Transported my sedan

Happy with my service. Daniel Alar handled my ticket with good customer care and my car was delivered safely as requested. The price came in higher than quoted but Daniel explained the way this industry works. Daniel ensured that my service with the trucking company that took the bid has followed through in their end. Overall, I would use Sonic again in the future.

Long-distance move from Texas to Virginia

Easy process

Eliot made the process very simple and he communicated well. He walked me through the steps and it all went well. Trying to get quotes was frustrating because all these companies fight for your business by blowing your phone up and lying about the price. The car was delivered safe and everyone kept me in the loop so that was helpful. Eliot tried to keep the price as close to the quoted price as possible.

Service cost: $770

Long-distance move from Conroe, TX to Mesa, AZ

Truck shipment

Had my truck shipped from TX to AZ. I worked with Levi and he was very thorough and patient with me through the process. I had tried several other companies first, who ended up being scams or just poorly ran. When I told Levi I was ready to ship, he had a transporter for me the same day. My vehicle was here within 3 days. I will be calling Levi and Sonic Auto Transport again for my next shipping needs.

Long-distance move from Philadelphia, PA to Orlando, FL

Philly to Orlando

I’m glad that I decided to go with Sonic’s transport. I was feeling over whelm with phone calls and text with different company. Just so many to choose from. After research, I decided to go with them. Victory Wenzel at Sonic transport really helped to ease my mind. I had a lot of questions, this is my first time shipping a car. He explained the whole process and connected me to a professional transporter. I was always able to call him or text him with any concerns.

This was my experience. The first driver that was supposed to come out had a flat tire, so that was cancelled. Then all of a sudden, I was bombarded with lots of phone calls and text with offering to transport my vehicle. Some of the new price was doubled or even tripled what it was originally agreed on. After many negotiations, Victory Wenzel was able to find me another transporter that agreed to a price that was close to the original. My car was transported to its destination on time with no other issues.

Local move from Houston, TX to Midland, TX

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

200 chararcters is not enough to describe the reasons not to use this bait and switch company. Do not trust them. Do not trust TINA RAMOS. Do not use them. The will quote one price and the day of your shipment will tell you they can’t find a carrier/driver unless they double or triple the price. Even then, your vehicle will not be picked up nor delivered according to schedule. DO NOT USE THEM

Very professional
