I’m not one to write reviews but if I can help someone else not have the trouble, I had its worth it. I booked with Autostar Transport Express weeks in advance to move 2 vehicles no later than August 22, 2026. There were more than happy to take my deposit, and I never head from anyone from the company. I had to reached out 3 days, 2 days, 1 day before I was ready to leave and I got the same answer. We haven’t found anyone to transport your vehicles. So, I had to scramble to find a tow dolly and a place to store my other vehicle as if moving wasn’t stressful enough. August 31, 2026, still heard nothing from Autostar Transport Express, I reached out and requested a refund, and they said they would not refund my deposit because they tried to find transportation for my vehicles and it’s not their fault. Seems odd since people hire them for that purpose. I would suggest get everything in writing from Autostar Transport Express before giving them money or better idea find a trustworthy company. In my option Autostar Transport Express is a shady company that doesn’t respond or talk with their customers.

AutoStar Transport Express respectfully disagrees with the customer's account, as several statements do not accurately reflect what occurred. The customer contracted AutoStar to arrange transportation for two vehicles. As stated in our Terms and Conditions, pickup and delivery dates are estimates and are not guaranteed, and AutoStar has five business days from the First Available Pickup Date to locate a carrier. Although a carrier was not secured within the initial five-business-day period, the customer did not cancel the order. The order remained active, and our dispatch team continued working to secure transportation. A carrier was subsequently assigned. At that time, the customer advised that one vehicle had already been moved and requested that the order for the remaining vehicle be placed on hold while they decided how to proceed. Several days later, the customer chose to cancel. Under our Terms and Conditions, once a carrier is assigned, the brokerage service has been rendered and the deposit becomes non-refundable. The customer's subsequent cancellation does not change that fact. We also clarify that AutoStar did not issue a refund that we later attempted to reverse. The customer initiated a credit-card chargeback, which AutoStar is disputing based on the documented order history and carrier assignment. For these reasons, we respectfully disagree with the characterization of events in the complaint and stand by our decision to dispute the chargeback.
