    Our car was picked up and delivered earlier than expected, which was a very pleasant surprise. There was 1 small hiccup with the final payment due but was cleared up with 1 phone call. This was a great experience!!!

    I needed my truck transported from Bakersfield to Seattle and chose Smart Auto Move of Los Angeles after a friend recommended them. Honestly, best decision. Super friendly team, no surprises on the price, and they delivered a day early. I would use them again if necessary.

    I shipped two cars from Chicago to California and Smart Auto Move made the whole process easy. Coordinating two vehicles can be a nightmare, but these folks handled it like nothing. Great communication, solid pricing, and both cars were delivered on time. Five stars without hesitation.

    I was having a hard time deciding whether to drive my car or have it shipped; ultimately, it made more sense to have it transported. Smart Auto Move handled my LA-to-Miami car shipment like total pros. They gave me upfront pricing, answered every question, and updated me throughout. My car arrived right on schedule and in perfect shape. A service all around.

    I shipped my SUV from San Diego to Dallas with Smart Auto Move of Los Angeles and the whole thing was shockingly smooth. The price was fair, the communication was great, and they delivered exactly when they said they would. Easily the most stress-free transport experience I’ve ever had. Highly recommend.

    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!
