All American Auto Transport Releases Steps to Avoid Auto Transport Scams

All American Auto Transport, a leading auto transport company, today released steps to avoid the current auto transport scams and finding a reliable auto transport company for your car shipping needs.

"There are several very important steps to take to avoid the current auto transport scams that are occurring. We have been receiving numerous calls from people who have fallen into the same trap and felt it was important to highlight what steps to take to avoid becoming another statistic," said Kelsey Hughes, founder of All American Auto Transport Inc.

"Do your homework," says Hughes. "Take a little time and look into the company you are about to trust with your car." He explained very often people call 4 or 5 companies and choose the company with the "cheapest rate" and never look into why they are cheap. "These 'great rates' often require a prepaid deposit, which for many, is where the scam starts." The company charges the deposit under the false pretense of "reserving space on a truck." In reality, they keep the money and look for a car carrier to take the car, sometimes without result. In some cases at the rate they quoted, they are unable to find an auto transport company willing to transport the car. Sadly, the $150 or $200 deposit is rarely returned.

Checking an established and unbiased website such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is one of the best ways to avoid this type of scam. "It takes 5 minutes to see the company has received 150 complaints in the last 36 months," says Hughes as he shows us several surprisingly bad companies with "F" ratings and hundreds of complaints on the BBB. He also showed us websites that are created and maintained by auto transport companies themselves. "My staff continually hears 'well this company has tons of amazing reviews on this site.' And while some of those reviews may be true, ANYONE can write them and there is no way to verify what is legitimate and what their secretary has been writing on her down time."
