Car Shipping

Can anyone recommend any car moving service.
I am moving to San Diego from North Carolina, I have tried to do some search on the web, but dont know if they are reliable or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

YAh, I have thought about doing the road trip and so far two places have quoted prices of $825 and $925 to move my car, but this is all going to be paid by my company as part of my relocation package.

Look in the back of the Dupont Registry. There are ads for transporting cars.

I have been having such a hard time with Stereo shops in Atlanta, that I was thinking about doing the same thing. Every price that he has ever given me has been much much less than what I've found around here. I wouldn't trust the kids at some of these places if I a piece of garbage car let alone an ACURA.

Do you think Ron would be willing to do this? Or has he done it before?

I moved from LA - Philadelphia last September and used http://www.caronatruck.com to move my Integra. I think that is was about $900. No problems with the move, except that the delivery date they give you is plus or minus a couple days. My car was delivered about 5 - 7 days after I expected it to show up.

The way it works is that they fill up the car carrier before trekking on a cross country move. You may have to wait a couple days for them to situate things so the move is 'economical' for the vendor.

Even if your company doesn't pay for it moving expenses (greater then 50 miles) for a job can be itemized on you tax return. Save all your receipts for the move. Have fun!

I dont know if he has done it before, but he knows where I am coming from and he has given me quotes on work that I would like to have done. I cant wait.
