Great service and value

It was great - my car arrived in 2 days and it was by far the least expensive option. Mateo was incredibly helpful and kept me posted every step of the way. I definitely recommend! It took a couple of days to match with a driver but the cost savings was worth it

Long-distance move from Santa Rosa, CA to Califon, NJ

Bait & Switch

The positive reviews must all be phony. I was promised pickup on 4/16 with a contracted price, only to be informed that morning that the driver was ill and the only available drivers were next week for $500 more. Total scam.

Service cost: $1185

Official company response

Dear Todd,
We apologize for the last-minute cancelation. Unfortunately, we received this information at the same time as you, and right now your shipping agent is working hard to be able to assign you a driver as soon as possible. We will keep you updated. Thank you for the prompt feedback.

Moving my Miata MX-5

Having just bought a Miata in Mississippi and the need to move it to New Jersey became my newest quest. My first step was to Google on how to do it. I got bombarded with offers from all over the place with an amazing range of price quotes. I looked at all the offers , then started to narrow them down with research I did on everyone to see if they were legit. I picked Sonic Auto Transport and was assigned Judy Kats as my rep. She quickly verified the quote and prepared the contract. It took a day or two to locate a driver heading in my direction then I was given the driver's name and contact number. The only setback came when the driver ran out of time on his driver log and had to stop for the evening. We all agreed it was better to be safe. Three days later my Miata was delivered to my door safe and sound. Thank you, Judy.

Long-distance move from Cape Coral, FL to Corvallis, OR

Car transport

I used Sonic to transfer a vehicle from Florida to Oregon. John Gardner was the representative I was dealing with. John was awesome! He talked with me from the initial set up all the way until my son received his car in Oregon. He was making sure I understood every step of the way. Even the driver who picked the vehicle up was awesome! This was actually my first time transporting a vehicle and I definitely would use the same EXACT guys again! Especially John Gardner. Great team work to all who was involved!

Josephine was so helpful

Josephine went above and beyond to make sure my experience was seamless. Even when she encountered obstacles she got everything done even ahead of the expected time. Her communication with me was amazing and I never had to wonder what was going on. With moving already being stressful, I couldn’t have asked for more..Amazing experience thank you, Josephine!- Larry Kasinowski
