Just shipped a car from San Diego to NJ. Horrible experience with their communication. Both pick up and delivery times were not what were agreed upon. At pickup they extorted $200 for extra weight just by the driver looking at what was loaded. I used Montway to ship car to San Diego and wished I would have used them again as I had no such issues with them. SGT cannot be trusted

Dear Felice,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your transport didn’t go as smoothly as expected. At SGT Auto Transport, customer satisfaction is always a top priority, and we take all feedback seriously—especially when it helps us grow and serve our customers better.

We’d like to respectfully clarify a few important points regarding your concerns, particularly around the issue of personal items in the vehicle. As outlined in our policy—clearly published and accessible at the following link:
https://sgtautotransport.com/help/insurance-personal-items/can-i-ship-personal-items-in-my-car

"Yes, you can have up to 100 lbs in the trunk/cargo area of the vehicle. Items must be contained to a single box or suitcase. However, if you'd like to load more personal items, you will need to provide the estimated weight of the items and we will provide you with an all-inclusive price. Both front seats and the front seat floorboards must remain empty and free of any personal items to avoid damage during transportation. The backseat must also remain empty unless you've received an all-inclusive rate for items to be placed there."

At the time of booking, you confirmed the inclusion of no more than 100 lbs of personal belongings, which is complimentary and covered under our standard transport terms. However, when the carrier arrived, it was immediately clear that the actual contents exceeded this limit—both in weight and volume. Items were visibly stored in the front seats, back seats, and trunk, all of which are not permitted without prior agreement and payment for an all-inclusive rate.

This is not unique to SGT Auto Transport—this is industry standard. The carriers we work with are federally licensed to transport vehicles, not household goods. Overloading a vehicle with personal belongings poses safety risks, can violate Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, and potentially void carrier insurance coverage. That’s why additional fees are required when the load exceeds what was disclosed.

We want to stress that we are not here to assign blame—we are here to help. Our goal is not simply to be right, but to ensure our customers feel heard, valued, and ultimately satisfied with the service provided. Our team has already reached out with a proposed resolution, and we remain fully committed to working with you toward a fair and positive outcome.

We take great pride in our reputation and the trust our customers have placed in us through real, verifiable reviews based on genuine experiences. We hope you'll reconsider your impression of our company, and allow us the opportunity to restore your confidence.

Thank you again, Felice. We look forward to resolving this to your satisfaction.

Warm regards,

Responsive and helpful

The company was helpful and responsive to my requests and questions. They picked my car up and delivered it within 5 days without damage. Only thing is that the carriers call you the day of or the day before your car gets picked up/delivered. Otherwise, I would book with SGT Auto again.

Best Transport Around

From the start, communication was excellent and I always knew what was going to happen. The person who initially answered the phone was always in touch. There was another young woman who kept in touch with me when the car was going to be picked up. The man who came and picked it up was professional and you could tell. He knew what he was doing. The car got there in one day. It was in beautiful shape. The price was right. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend SGT Auto Transport.

Phoenix, AZ to Miami, FL Car Transport

We contacted SGT to move our son's car from Phoenix, AZ to Miami, FL. The whole experience was really good. Agent on phone was helpful, clearly explained the process and was able to send us a copy of the agreement via email right away. I liked the fact they didn't take any money up front. Pickup in Phoenix was seamless. Super nice, courteous driver Luis who was very helpful and found a good spot nearby my son's house for the car pickup. He even picked up my son in Miami from the airport to take him to the car. Everything went smoothly for pickup and drop-off. My only recommendation would be some flexibility in picking up the car as driver had to leave next day early morning so my son had to pick up the car late at night. Overall though, great experience. Pricing was reasonable. Would highly recommend this car delivery service.
