FAQ
Questions we get asked
What is dealer auto transport?
It is moving vehicles for a dealership: to and from auctions, between dealers and between stores. We run it on our own 9-car carriers, in both directions.
How much does it cost to transport cars for a dealership?
It depends on the lot and the auction involved, how many cars move together and which direction they run. Send your lots, the auctions you use and your monthly volume through the business form and dispatch will come back to you.
How quickly can a car be picked up from auction?
It depends on when the auction releases the car and how far it is from your lot. Give dispatch the auction and the vehicles and they will confirm a pickup window.
How do I ship a car from an auction to my dealership?
Give dispatch the auction, your lot and the vehicles. A 9-car carrier collects them and delivers to your lot, with photo inspections at pickup and delivery.
Can you handle dealer-to-dealer trades?
Yes. Vehicles move between dealers and between your own stores on 9-car carriers.
Can I ship several cars on one truck?
Yes. Our carriers are 9-car carriers, so several vehicles can travel on one truck. All transport is open transport.
