Purchased a used car out of state from a dealer in Colorado. They recommended Crestline along with another carrier for... auto shipping services. I went with the lower quote of the two. Everyone I spoke with was courteous and professional and I was regularly updated on the status of my shipment. It took roughly five days for one of the transporters to pick up my car from the dealer but I believe the abnormally inclement weather for the region was the likely and understandable reason for the delay. The up-side is that the car arrived less than 36 hours after it had been picked up. The driver was communicative and I was given a very accurate ETA. My third experience with having a car shipped (the first with Crestline) and I am pleased to say it was another positive one. It was a bit on the pricey side, in my opinion, for a 12 hour drive ($1,100) but I guess everything is on the pricey side these days. I opted to not drive it down myself as I am not comfortable driving in snowy/icy conditions. The expense, to me, was worth the convenience. I do recommend their service if you're seeking a no hassle and competent vehicle transport. Thanks Crestline!read more

This company was amazing! Keith the person in charge of dispatch was very transparent regarding the car transporting... process. Crestline was able to transport the vehicle I traded in as well as have the other vehicle I purchased delivered within a few days as one vehicle were coming from another state and the other was being sent to another state. The price was exactly what I was quoted which was very reasonable and Keith was available whenever I reached out if I had a question. I was referred to Crestline from the dealer and I was so happy with my choice. The vehicles both arrived without a scratch in place, and no damages. Thank you Crestline, Keith especially, for making sure I understood the process and for picking up my old vehicle and delivering my new vehicle. Most importantly, thank you for answering all my questions and being transparent through the whole process.read more

Crestline hit it out of the park - a great experience from providing the (best) quote to having my daughter's car... delivered safely to her door over 1,200 miles away. This was my first experience shipping a vehicle and Crestline made it stress-free. Casey and Gerry were very knowledgable and helpful, walking me through the process and keeping me informed every step of the way. I couldn't recommend Crestline more highly. I wish I could give them 6 stars!read more

I have to say that the shipment of my truck was not a smooth process as there were several bumps along the way. There... was a lack of communication starting with our salesperson that created a domino effect of timing, communication and delivery delays. I cannot say every interaction I had with Crestline representatives was positive or professional. I did however deal with a couple of Crestline representatives who made a difference in the final delivery of my truck. Tierra was phenomenal and did everything in her power to facilitate the communication of the delayed delivery of our truck. In the end our truck was delivered by VB auto group with a great driver who kept us updated on delivery timing. I received my truck but I cannot say that I will be seeking out Crestline for future deliveries.read more

Crestline transported my dear old 1949 pickup from Iowa to Montana. Their fee was fair. My pickup arrived without... damage. The transport driver, the booking agent and another representative were responsive and professional. Loading and unloading of my pickup took place on schedule within an agreed 24h window. Importantly, the whole arrangement was setup in just a few days. -- no weeks of delays. Vehicle transport is not like, say, ordering from Amazon. A bit of trust is sought in direct contacts with the transport agency. I found that trust, the right price and good results with Crestline.read more

This is a service business and the Crestline team provides great service and excellent communication. The car was... picked up and delivered on time.

Absolutely awful transport company. I bought a car that was transported from PA to CT and the car came to me damaged... (scratches in the rims) as well as the driver bringing it to the wrong address. It was in perfect condition when I bought it. It ended up being delivered in the middle of the night when I wasn’t even there, it was a whole mess. I wouldn’t have bothered to write a review but I haven’t heard back from the owner, Alan, in 3 weeks after telling him about the issue. He promised to help me get it resolved, but has completely went ghost.read more

Crestline Auto did a great job getting me my car all the way from Connecticut to North Carolina is about 24 hours. It... was transported very well, I didn't see a scratch on it. Sometimes when they ship cars they put chains through the gaps in the wheel caps, so I thought those at least might be scratched. But even that they handled by putting these padded straps over the tires. The driver was very helpful and even helped me set up my license plate and get the car started since I was unfamiliar with the controls initially. Also ordering and adjusting my order was very easy as they were very responsive by phone and email. I couldn't recommend them more highly. The job was perfectly done.read more

I needed to ship my Dodge Midnite express from WI to TN. Crestline agreed to ship in an enclosed trailer in a 5 day... window. They stated they couldn't find an enclosed trailer large enough to accommodate a D-150. (Not my first rodeo, it's been shipped numerous times in an enclosed trailer. They then suggested open shipping...which I didn't want.. no reduction in price. Bait and switch.read more

The car in Colorado I called Casey about Friday of last week is safely tucked in for the night in Texas on Wednesday.... This world of cars is new to us, but my husband grew up knowing that when his dad passed, his classic car would be passed down. Amidst chaos, grief, mysteries, pain, and conflict, Crestline made the process of moving that inoperable, but sentimental hunk of metal seemless for this clueless teacher who knows nothing about cars, let alone moving a dead one across the country. The driver and his wife were the sweetest and kindest pair. They not only got it here safely, but they unloaded it with us and moved it into it's garage to set it in its home for the time being. They could have left it on the street, but they went the extra mile to get it parked in the garage.Thank you for making something easy amongst a very complicated chapter of our lives.read more

I had an extremely urgent situation to get a demo vehicle transported from Minnesota to Virginia for a critical event.... Our previous transport company was unreliable and in my search for a new transport company, I found Crestline. I submitted my request and they were very responsive and assured me that my vehicle would be picked up in a 1-4 day window. As an unknown company, I was nervous but had no other option than to trust them. Crestline not only met my expectations, they exceeded them. They picked my vehicle up in 2 days and from my first interaction with them, they have been very communicative with me and our team on the receiving end. What a relief it has been for me to have found Crestline. They are now my transport vendor of choice and I will be using them for our future events where we need to transport our demo vehicle. I highly recommend them. Many thanks to Chris, Casey & Keith as well as their driver!read more

Great experience with Crestline. Even though the other company I contacted didn't even call me back, they were "on it"... from the beginning. They gave me the quote right away and stuck to it.

The car showed up on the day they estimated, "at the earliest." Completely satisfied and would use them again,read more

This company is a step above the rest. I called them in a panic Wednesday aug 11 after I hired a company to pick up a... very important car the week before and they completely failed. I emailed Tierra explaining the situation and asking them if there was anyway they could deliver a vehicle to me by next Thursday ( more than 13 hours away). They committed and boy did they deliver! they had the vehicle picked up the SAME day and delivered today Thursday Aug 12. How they pulled this off I really have no idea! Both the transport company and the driver had excellent communication the whole time which is so important as well.HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!read more

Arranged transportation for a 2019 Corvette with Crestline on 7/12/2021. At the time the order was placed, we were... told it would be picked up on 7/14/2021. It was not. Then it would be by the end of the week, then the next week, and finally yesterday. As of today, 7/30/2021, the car has still not been picked up, this time because the truck broke down. If you want someone you can depend on, don't choose Crestline. We won't make the same mistake twice.read more

I found a T Bucket hot rod up in Maryland, and since I live near Charlotte NC, there was no way I could go up and get... it, and bring it back. I found Crestline on the web and gave them a call, on short notice. (I have never had anything transported before, and they had enclosed or open transports.) I told them I was going to look at the T, and if I bought it, I wanted it picked up the following day if possible. They did exactly as I asked, and my beautiful T was brought to my house in the next day or two. Everything was perfect! From the people on the phone, to the transporters themselves, I couldn't ask for a better experience. I will use them again if the need arises.read more

I found this company based on the reviews, I wanted to make sure my Son's car was shipped correctly so the first phone... call was good the communication with the company was excellent. So the car was shipped from Dallas to California the driver picked up the car with no problem but when my son's car arrived in California it was missing the bumper? The front end was damaged and the bumper was missing so my son asked what happened he said his exact words" I guess it flew off " How does a bumper fly off ? So now we are dealing with claims and this Taurus guy from claims is rude he said the estimate was too high get another one . Who do you think you are a mechanic ? I dont think so. So now we are trying to get my sons car fixed so just be careful when you ship your vehicle make sure the driver they are using is competent. DONT USE THIS COMPANYread more

I am not a person who usually write a lot of reviews. However i am doing this to see if it can be of help to someone... who wants to find the right guys in auto transport industry. I was amazed at the number of calls/emails one get if you happen to submit a car shipping request online. I would recommend not to submit for quote unless you do some research about the transport company.Crestline Experience:I shipped my 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY from Milpitas, CA to Austin, TX. I am amazed by there professionalism in picking up and delivering car. My car got picked up on friday evening and was delivered on sunday evening(2 days). The pick up and delivery location were less than a mile from the agreed address. The driver deserves a lot of appreciation for his flexibility to get the car delivered closer to the agreed location, keeping you informed of the delivery and most importantly condition of the car was immaculate.The crestline auto transport customer support person called in on monday to check if the car was delivered as per the promise.

The driver himself was professional, friendly and got my car to me in one piece. I honestly have no complaints.read more
