What Is Auto Dealership Transport?

Auto dealership transport is the professional movement of vehicle inventory between dealerships and the other locations involved in buying, selling, preparing, and delivering vehicles. This can include picking up purchases from auto auctions, transferring inventory between dealership locations, transporting trades or acquisitions, moving vehicles to and from upfitters, and delivering sold vehicles to customers.
 
Using professional auto transport allows dealerships to move inventory across longer distances without assigning employees to drive vehicles individually or adding unnecessary mileage to vehicles intended for sale. Crestline can coordinate individual shipments, multi-vehicle moves, and recurring transportation based on a dealership’s inventory needs.

When Your Dealership May Need Vehicle Transport

Dealership transportation becomes especially valuable when your inventory extends beyond your local market. A dealership may purchase vehicles at an out-of-state auction, acquire inventory from another dealer, transfer vehicles between rooftops, accept a remote trade, or sell a vehicle to a customer hundreds of miles away.
 
Dealers may also need transportation between manufacturers, upfitters, commercial customers, storage locations, and remarketing facilities. Instead of coordinating each move separately or using dealership employees as drivers, Crestline can serve as a transportation resource for both one-time and ongoing dealership vehicle moves.

From Acquisition to Customer Delivery

A vehicle may need transportation several times before or after reaching a dealership. Crestline can help coordinate transportation across different stages of the dealership inventory cycle, including:
For dealer groups with multiple rooftops or businesses sourcing vehicles across state lines, Crestline can also coordinate transportation across multiple pickup and delivery locations throughout the lower 48 states.

Why Choose Crestline for Auto Dealership Transport?

Dealerships need more from a transportation partner than simply getting a vehicle onto a truck. Inventory has value when it’s available to sell, so communication, scheduling, and reliable coordination matter. Crestline’s U.S.-based team works directly with dealership personnel and other parties involved in the move to help keep transportation organized from pickup through delivery.
 
Crestline can support dealerships with individual vehicle moves as well as recurring and higher-volume transportation needs. Our experience working with dealerships, commercial vehicle organizations, auctions, fleets, and automotive industry partners gives our team an understanding of how transportation fits into the larger vehicle sales process. As your needs grow or change, Crestline can provide a consistent transportation resource instead of forcing your team to start from scratch with every shipment.
