Default Reputable auto shipping company?

Hey guys. Does anyone have a recommendation for a reputable auto shipping company? Is anyone aware of any unreputable ones? Mods, I realize that this may not be in the proper forum, but if you could please leave it here for a day or so, I would appreciate it. Thanks for any recommendations.

I used DAS (dependable auto shippers) once and they got the car there about a week early with no problems. However, there is a guy on here that had some problems with them. Ebay receommend them however.

Good luck,
Jonny

Thanks DX3. I read a few reviews on epinions.com, and that was enough to scare me away. And Dave, thanks for the links. I should have searched. You'd think I was new to CL.

I moved from New Jersey to California last year and the covered transport company that moved my LX470 and Saab 9-3 was DeMoise Trk-Ing, 864-609-9390. My driver was RICH in truck #101. He did a fantastic job and was very careful. If I remember right it was about 10 days from coast to coast.

Thanks. The problem I'm having right now is that I just went to epinions.com and started reading some of the horror stories that people have experienced with auto transport companies. For every 5 good reviews there seems to be a bad one. I'm just afraid that even if I pick a reputable company that I will be one of the bad ones.

I have used InterCity Lines several times and have to say that they are fantastic. They ship in enclosed trailers that are immaculate and truly care for the cars. They are a little more expensive but well worth the difference in price.
