HOW LONG does it take?
Excellent service and communication
Frank contacted me because I put an online requisition where around 20 companies sent me their offers. The first time I did it with another company that lied about a price and then raised it. As he called me and I noticed his seriousness and that his price was fixed and he did not lie to get the contract, I trusted him. That’s why, the second time I called him directly, he gave me a price that he respected. The service was done as agreed. I am very pleased with the service and will call him next time.Show more
Honest, truth and quality
They are the best. Honesty and great customer service is rare. This was a time in which my sons car had been totaled we were down to our last. He has three jobs and Uber fees were excessive. Mr. Garcia explained the car shipping process and what to lookout for. He explained scams. He gave me a fair price and made sure everything was understood. Then he sent me to a dispatcher who sent a driver who delivered my car to my son in record time. Excellent serviceShow more
