Shipped my sedan to Chicago and everything went perfectly. Door-to-door pickup, no scratches, no hidden fees. These guys are the real deal.
I was nervous about shipping my classic Mustang, but the enclosed transport was flawless. They treated it like their own car. Highly recommended for anyone with a collector vehicle.
Used Alligator Shipping to transport my SUV to Chicago after a job relocation. Pickup was one day later than scheduled, but the driver was great and the vehicle arrived in perfect condition.
