We all love a bargain. Whether it’s groceries, flights, or clothes, it is human nature to look for the best deal. When it comes to shipping your car, it’s tempting to look at the bottom line and choose the company with the lowest number.

But in the auto transport industry, a low price often comes with a high stress level.

We recently received a review from a long-time customer, Pat, that perfectly illustrates the difference between “price” and “value.” Pat has been with us for years but decided to try a competitor this season to save some money.

Here is Pat’s story in their own words:

A Real Customer Story

“I have been an American Auto customer for many years (7). I ship my car from Andover, MA to Holmes Beach, FL and back every year. I am retired and spend winters at my home in Holmes Beach.

This year was going to be different. I purchased a Corvette this past summer and planned to ship two cars to Florida. As such, I searched for a better price. As you know, you are quite expensive. Anyway, the company we chose was a disaster and I cancelled them.

Your service is unmatched. Guaranteed and ALWAYS on time. I have recommended you to many of my friends. I want to give a special thanks and shoutout to Josh.”

— Pat Annese, Loyal Customer

The Lesson: Quality is an Investment

Pat’s review highlights a truth we try to share with all our clients. Yes, as Pat noted, we are not the cheapest option on the market. We don’t try to be.

When you see a “too-good-to-be-true” price from a competitor, it often results in what Pat described as a “disaster.” That usually means missed pickups, lack of communication, or last-minute cancellations.

When you returned to American Auto Transporters, you got exactly what you paid for:

  1. Unmatched Service: No disasters, just results.
  2. Guarantees: We show up when we say we will.
  3. Peace of Mind: Knowing your Corvette and SUV are in safe hands.

Welcome Back, Pat!

We are thrilled to have Pat back in the American Auto family. We also want to echo the shoutout to Josh on our team. We pride ourselves on having real, helpful humans guiding you through the process, not automated bots.

If you are thinking about shipping your car, take a page out of Pat’s book. You can gamble on a low price, or you can invest in a guaranteed, stress-free move.
