I can’t say enough about this team. The communication was top notch. The service, amazing. I was in a pinch and they placed me with a carrier in an hour and had a pickup next day and drop off the following. The carrier driver was awesome, professional and helpful. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks Jay!

Recently used Garcias Auto Transport and Logistics to move my car over 500 miles, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service. Despite my car having issues with turning on, the team at Garcia’s went above and beyond to make the transport possible. They handled the situation with professionalism and efficiency, ensuring that my car arrived safely and on time. Their pricing was unbeatable, and the level of care and attention they provided exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable transportation service, I highly recommend Garcia’s Auto Transport and Logistics. They made a challenging situation smooth and stress-free!

I was supposed to ship with another company and they flaked out at the last minute. I filled out a document online and Frank called two minutes later and found a shipper in literally 15 minutes. My car was picked up the same day and delivered the next day.
