Wow, these guys are great; thanks a lot!

Good service. Owen helped me to book a load and it was fast and effective. No 2nd call, whole business conducted within first call. That is what we all need. Thank you.

Stunning Movers!

Customer service was awesome. Stefan Davis made it very easy for me. He was able to help me get my car delivered. He offered an excellent and a very helpful service.

These ratings can't be legit

I received my car ok but after the ole price bait-and-switch and after being ghosted instead of receiving pickup confirmation.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE

They gaslit us for weeks saying they had a driver for $1800, then said all the drivers were unavailable due to our location. They pushed the date further and further back with no guarantee, and finally said they had a driver secured for $2200. They said the only time the driver could pick up was either between 11pm-2am or the next morning, but we had already moved across the country, and the people we had there to deliver the car at the original location were leaving the next morning. After waiting another week, they finally “guaranteed” another driver for $2200. Fred said the driver would come and pick up in 3 hours, and that the transporter would reach out to us directly, but they never did. After calling and calling, the other customer service agents said that Fred was out of the office for the rest of the day after he told me he would call in an hour. After desperately trying to get someone to help us since we really thought the car was finally getting shipped, they kept telling us that they’re working on it and only Fred could actually help us. We decided to just cancel everything at this point because it really felt like a scam. As soon as I told them I wanted to cancel, Fred messaged me immediately saying he will magically be in the office in 5 minutes. Please save your time and energy by not using this business. They genuinely felt like a scam at every turn, and I’m really glad I decided to cancel because who knows what could have happened if they actually took the car. There are also other reviews online that mention having the same experience, and it seems like they might have created fake positive reviews to bury the bad ones.

The prices seemed reasonable.

Quick response time. Quote and final price honored. Driver found within same day for quoted price. Pick up and delivery were seamless. Would highly recommend Sonic Auto Transportation.

FLAWLESSLY!!

Sonic Auto was so easy to work with! Very communicative and professional. They ensured I could get the best rate to ship my car across country and I even received my vehicle early.

SCAM Warning

I got scam by this company. I got a quote for enclosed transport from Dallas to Anchorage, which includes land and sea. Days before pick up, they asked for money to book the port for the sea transport. Long story short, they didnt, instead kept the whole money for the land transport. The car was transported open. When i asked, i was told it was a local driver who was picking up the cars for a trailer. That was a lie. Land transport that was suppose to be $800-$1300, they kept the whole $2750. Had to make my own arrangements for the port. They will respond that i "agreed" to it. If i was quoted $2750 for a whole trip, why would i agree to the same amount for just half way? Make if make sense! I signed a contract and paid them, then they went and changed the terms of the contract without disclosing the new terms to me. I spoke to several people in the company and they all seem to be in on the scam. This company needs to be held accountable for their predatory practices.

Bad overall experience with Sonic Auto Transport.

Had a very frustrating experience with them. After accepting their original quote, they informed me after finding a driver that the price for both them and the driver DOUBLED on me without any good reason! Went from $375 to $750. And once they confirm a driver they are pretty much done with you and give you little to no information about the status of your shipment. They don't know where your driver is on his way to you, must not have GPS, and are unable to contact the driver since he never answers his phone or responds to text messages. I can not in good faith recommend this company and would avoid them. The whole process was very unpleasant.
