Getting the car ready.
For the overall safety of your classic pride and joy, making sure that you fully prepare it for transport, even if it is only traveling a few miles down the road, is going to be one of the most important aspects of transport. Unless the car is inoperable and the company already knows this, you need to make sure that the battery if charged, the brakes and tires are in good condition and that the fuel is no higher than a quarter tank.
Your car will have to undergo a visual inspection when the driver picks it up and you should have it ready by making sure it is clean inside and out and that no personal items have been left inside. It’s also wise to take some detailed pictures of all areas of the car so you can keep them for your personal records and hold onto them until the car us delivered. Damage seldom ever occurs with professional auto transport but having pictures will be very bene cial if you should happen to notice any scratches or dents when you meet the driver to pick it up. Be sure to turn the time and date
stamp on so you can prove the date if you should need to le a damage claim.
Something you need to keep in mind when you are planning to ship a classic car is that no matter what the price may be or the quality of services that a company promises to provide, you must feel comfortable with the company and the level of professionalism provided by the agent that handles your booking call.
Whenyouinitiallycontactaprofessional classic car shipping company be sure to listen carefully to how the representative speaks to you as this will most likely be the way your call will be handled if you have any issues or questions in the future. On top of this, be sure to check online reviews to see how the company has treated other customers and to also see if they have any complaints and how they have handled them if they do. A complaint does not mean that a company is bad as even the best companies have complaints, but seeing their level of professionalism when handling the complaint or responding to the customer can go a long way with seeing how they will treat you and your beautiful classic or new Porsche.
