| | My family went to California to collect the belongings of my brother who had just passed away. We were there for only a couple of days. I contacted Five Towns Auto and made arrangements to have my brother’s truck picked up and brought to Wisconsin. I was very specific with what dates the truck could be picked up on. He assured me that he would have the truck picked up on one of the requested dates. I gave him a $250 deposit. Unfortunately the dates came and to our surprise, there was no one there to pick up the truck. I called and he said he would check on it and call me right back. I waited several hours and did not receive a call back. I repeatedly tried to call Five Towns Transport to find out what was going on. Every time I called it went right to voice mail. Then I tried from my brother’s phone (different area code) and to my surprise they answered right away. He would have someone pick it up the next day. I told him to forget it and refund my deposit. He said he would. I proceeded to call another transport service that was very helpful and informed me that Five Towns Transport is just a broker. Meaning they do not have any of their own trucks, they are just the middle man. They take the reservation and the deposit you give them is actually the amount they get paid for your transport. After taking your reservation, they just list your requested transport on a national database and wait for some trucker somewhere to pick it up if they happen to be going your way. The amount you pay the driver upon pick up is the actual amount you are paying to have your vehicle shipped. This other company informed me that our requested transport was still on the database and no one had signed up to pick up our vehicle. So when he would have it picked up the next day, he was again lying. Even though we did not end up using this other company, they were very helpful. They could not guarantee someone would pick up our truck the next day so we couldn't use them. We ended up calling another company who went out of their way to pick it up that day. In the six months since this nightmare, I have been in contact with Five Towns Transport on many occasions trying to get my deposit refunded. He has one excuse after another as to why I have not received my refund yet. It is always "going to happen next week" or "it's in the mail". Of course, they are once again lying as I have still not received it. I will do everything I can to make sure that no one else has to go through what we went through. Do not use Five Towns Transport. This should be a sign to all of you who are even thinking about using them. Stay away or you too will be ripped off. | Company Response  | | | Posted by: Devastated - 04/01/2009
Subject: DO NOT USE 5 TOWNS!`
| | Quote ID : | Anthony | | Move Origin : | Seattle, WA | | Move Destination : | Atlanta, GA | | Initial Estimate : | $825.00 | | Final Cost : | $150.00 |
| | My car was being shipped from Seattle, WA. to Atlanta, GA. My car has gone missing. 5 Towns brokered out to another trucking company and no one can get in touch with the driver of the truck. He has mysteriously vanished...with my car (and 9 other ones). The sales guy called me daily promising a better rate than anyone else. He did, he beat the offer I had on the table from a reputable company. Do not let them scam you like they did me. 5 Towns has not offered to help me in anyway. They refuse to refund my $150 deposit due to contractual obligations. They have not communicated with me as to what's going on or what they're doing to rectify the situation. They have left me high and dry (and car less). I am going to do everything in my power to warn as many people as possible against using this company. I am working with the police, I am working with my insurance company, I will go to the news, I will go to a lawyer, and I will do whatever it takes. This has been the worst experience ever! Please, do not use 5 Towns Transport. | | Company Response | | | Posted by: Jack Howes - 03/08/2009

I will use this company again and refer my family and friends! Thank you so much for taking care of our family treasure. To us it is far more than a classic car! | | Company Response |

Do many people use automobile shipping companies?
Yes, thousands of people use automobile shipping companies. These people ship
for many different reasons. Some are snowbirds, retired people traveling to
and from their summer and winter locations. Some are moving, or going to college.
Using an auto carrier company is one of the easiest and fastest ways to move
your vehicle.
Many who use automobile shipping companies are buying or selling cars to and
must move the car to other states. Dealerships are also selling cars via the
Internet, and must ship the car to the buyer. Buying and selling cars via the
Internet and having them shipped via an automobile shipping company is a huge
business.
It is also much cheaper to use an auto shipper to ship a vehicle than it is
to drive it to its location. If you had to drive the vehicle, you'd have to
pay for gas, food, lodging, and possibly a plane ticket to get back to your
original location. With an automobile shipping company you pay a flat fee to
move your vehicle, and don't have to worry about the car being driven or accumulating
wear and tear on a cross country trip.
