These guys are a joke. The quoted me $850 then raised the price to $915 when the car was delivered. When I asked why the contracted rate had increased the driver said "ifyou dont like it i'll take it back". Both the driver and broker were yelling at each other in front of me about who was going to pay the extra money. The car was damaged when unloaded. The driver started yelling at me and I almost had to punch him to make him stop. I have shipped 8 cars this year and this was by far the worst experience ever. Not only was it unethical, but very unprofessional and I was embarrased for them. I know customer service is really bad in most places but this was pathetic. American Auto Express said they would refund $30. You guys keep the money, you are gonna need it with the way you all do business.

First at all you had contract with TRANSPORT SERVICES for the transport of your 1957 chevy belair -INOPERABLE- from Forth Smith,Ar to El Paso,Tx.Which has the deal with the broker we didn't know.We booked this car to transport for $700. When the driver arrived nearby pick up point he could not reach that point because was a nero street and with a big semi it has impossible to make the turn on that particular street.In this case because was an INOPERABLE car the only way to bring the car at the truck was to hire a towing company to bring the car to the truck.The towing company charged $ 65 for this service. At the destination point the driver asked the payment for the transport $ 700 plus $ 65 the payment for the service done by the towing company at the pick up point. When the customer , with his local team, unload the car from our trailer they dropped the car and DAMAGED IT -THEMSELVES, it was not our fault.We remind you that we are talking about an old car,rusty,without brakes,steering or anything only the shell and the wheels. Maybe the tone of the discussion at the delivery point was improper and we apologize for that but we did not understood why in this particular case - when the truck could not reach a point for objective reasons - we must support the payment for the towing company service.Usually the customer is the one who paid for services done for his car. After all you agreed to pay for that service and,you gave the driver $ 765 and this was the ending of the story. We didn't told you that we will refund $30 . We apologize again for the improper tone ( to high sometimes) of the discussion in EL Paso ,Tx but we strongly believe that you can not solve a problem with force ( " I almost had to punch him "). Another thing we transport your car in 3 days not in 5 days liked you declared.
