I was extremely naive to the auto transport process and its use of brokers. After 2 days of hours upon hours of badgering from over a dozen brokers (I thought I was entering my info into a carrier search), research on the process of obtaining a auto transport services, combing through ratings/reviews of many different brokerages and trying to dodge shady brokers, I reached out to the salesman who sold me the car for help. He didn’t hesitate - a testament to his trust in Larry Levinson to provide extremely efficient, honest auto transport brokerage service. I couldn’t have been happier. I FINALLY received an honest breakdown of how the auto transport booking process works (and in an informative method even I could understand - my RN/biological sciences inclined brain did not easily understand transportation logistics). Larry’s transparency was such a relief. He helped me understand the ‘board’ all auto transport brokers use to submit bids (on behalf of their clients) for auto transport services, and the many unscrupulous ways many auto transport brokers ‘trick’ clients into entering into contracts using deceptive tactics. Cautionary note - despite my never signing an authorization, 2 of the brokers that had provided me some of the cheaper quotes took it upon themselves to (illegally) place auto transport bids on my behalf, and they placed the bids significantly higher than the quotes I was given by them. I further learned (and it makes sense), a carrier is always going to go for the ‘higher bid’, so having more than one broker represent you is a bad idea, since the bid will likely continue to increase as they fight to be the one to get your auto transport request picked up. Keep in mind, if you sign an authorization with a broker/pay their deposit, they can provide you with whatever price a carrier accepted - despite how much higher it is than the initial quote they gave you to put down the deposit, since their initial quote is an ‘estimate’. There are an unbelievable amount of extra fees they can inform you of when your bid is picked up (AFTER you have entered into their contract. You can deny the much higher (now confirmed) price, but you are out part of the money you initially put down (‘broker fee’). Often the client is out the entire initially paid amount due to giving up on the stress/time required to get the ‘deposit’ portion of the fee returned. I also tried ‘uship’. Every quote I received was from another shady broker, many of which led me to believe they are a carrier. I had to look them up online to determine they were actually brokers. I hope this helps understanding the auto transport booking process, and saves others A LOT of headache, stress, time and confusion. Those low quotes are not realistic - and the brokers that claim they can get you those prices are aware they can’t. You can absolutely trust Larry to navigate the bidding process to strategically get the lowest possible price for the given transport time frame. I can’t describe how thankful I was for the help/support I received from him. I had an ally with expertise in a field I was extremely ignorant of. He genuinely advocates for his clients. If there is concern my experience might not be the ‘norm’, it’s common knowledge a car dealership’s good reputation is of upmost priority (particularly given the ‘bad rep’ the car sales industry has. My sales representative would not utilize Larry’s service, as well as recommend him to his clients, if Larry wasn’t a man of his word, and good at what he does.
