Los Angeles to Dallas Car Shipping FAQs
How do I prepare my car for transport?
Remove personal belongings, leave about a quarter tank of fuel, and take a few photos of the vehicle. If the car is non-running or has modifications (lift kits, very low clearance), tell us so we can match the right equipment.
Can you ship inoperable vehicles from Los Angeles to Dallas?
Yes. Non-running vehicles typically require a carrier with a winch. Provide accurate condition details for the most accurate quote.
