Smart Auto Move was professional and efficient in delivering my vehicle. From scheduling the pick up to the on-time delivery, I was satisfied with the overall service. Thank you Smart Auto Move for making my auto transport seamless.
Smart Auto Move was a positive experience! The payment never changed and the delivery style (inside/outside) didn't vary either which was a relief. I shipped two cars and they were picked up 3 and 4 days early which isn't a huge deal but I did have to move some plans around. Both drivers were so kind, careful, and communicative. I would fully recommend them and use them again!
Great communication through the transaction, car picked up and delivered as requested.
