Auto Transport
FAQ's 1.
Q: "How much will the transport of my vehicle cost?"
A: In general,
cost to transport vehicles is mainly based on final destination.
Also, larger and heavier vehicles will be slightly more expensive
to transport, as would special requests, such as terminal drop-offs.
For example, transport of a passenger vehicle to Florida would
cost approximately XXXX dollars, while transport to California
would cost YYYY dollars. Transport costs of the same vehicle
within Massachusetts would range from AAAA to BBBB, while transport
to adjoining states would cost approximately CCCC. Please call,
e-mail, or fill out our e-form to get a detailed price; we
usually try to get back to you on the same business day.
2. Q: "To which destinations do you transport?"
A: Precision
Auto Body and Transport is capable of transporting your vehicle
to anywhere in the continental United States (i.e., 48 states).
3. Q: "How long does it take to ship my
vehicle?"
A: Transit
time varies depending on several factors, but, normally, it
takes a week and half to two weeks. The factors that affect
transit time include: distance to shipping destination, order
of loading on car carrier versus closed container; weather;
road conditions; amount of advance shipping notification; door-to-door
versus terminal pick-up and drop-off. Generally, the more time
you give us in advance, the better we are able to secure a
spot for your vehicle on our trucks.
4. Q: "How do you ship my vehicle?"
A: We ship
your vehicle by a car carrier or hauler that can usually carry
8 to 10 vehicles. These are the same trucks that you often
see dropping cars off at car dealerships. Alternatively, we
can ship your vehicle in a closed container for an additional
charge.
5. Q: "Will my vehicle be insured?"
A: Your vehicle
will be insured against damage and theft when transported by
Precision Auto Body and Transport, and we will provide you
with a copy of the insurance coverage. We highly discourage
you from leaving personal articles in your vehicle; please
note that any personal articles left in your vehicle will not
be insured. In fact, it is against the law for us to ship them,
and a hefty fine could potentially be imposed. If you must
ship some (uninsured) items in your car, make sure they are
stowed properly and out of sight, and under 100 pounds.
6. Q: "When will my vehicle be picked up,
and delivered?"
A: Upon transaction,
we will schedule you for pick-up within a 3-day window; however,
we can provide an exact date for an additional charge. Once
pick-up is made, we will provide you with a precise delivery
date. However, we most often will not be able to provide a
guaranteed delivery date, but instead will give you a window
of time to tell you when to expect delivery of your vehicle.
7. Q: "Can you keep my vehicle from being
exposed to the weather?"
A: Yes, for
an additional charge, we can transport your vehicle in a
closed container.
8. Q: "My car is in parts; can you still
transport it?"
A: Yes, but
you must organize and secure your loose parts into sealed,
durable containers.
9. Q: "I just purchased (sold) a vehicle
on-line; can you pickup (deliver) for me?"
A: Yes,
however, please note that we only provide transport services.
It is your responsibility to insure that the transaction is complete.
