Long-distance move from Dyer, IN to Foley, AL

My new buddy Jake

So first off, Jake had a monumental set of challenges in front of him taking on my job, it just seemed to be one problem after another, but he was up for the challenge, stayed very diligent in finding alternative means of accomplishing my goal, communicated very well, very clearly and thoroughly. I would highly recommend asking for him personally. I know I will in the future.

Long-distance move from Orlando, FL to Toledo, OH

Transporting my car

This was the worst experience in my life. I had another company take my car to Orlando, but used Sonic Transportation to bring it back to Ohio. Where it took 2 days to get my car to the south I was quoted 3 days and it took 7 days to get it through this company. I will never use this company again. I would not recommend them to a desperate person. Thanks but not again

Official company response

Dear Beatrice, we are sorry to hear that the delivery on such a short route was delayed. As you know, in a business like this some situations can not be foreseen. As a broker company, we made sure to assign you a reliable driver and we are sorry that he couldn't deliver your vehicle on the day requested. Please, accept our apologies. We hope that the communication from our side was prompt. Have a wonderful day!

Long-distance move from New Jersey to Maryland

Lexus ES350

Jay & Nolan were exceptional in finding a driver(Dennis) to transport my vehicle from NJ to MD. They kept me posted every step of the way until the car was dropped off at the final location.

Dennis(the truck driver) even sent me pictures.

Overall, it was a great experience working with the Sonic team. I'll definitely use them again; or recommend them to friends and family.

Long-distance move from Applegate, MI to The Villages, FL

Great Job Moving My Car!

Sonic was excellent in moving my car from Michigan to Florida. My representative Tim and his team ensured that I understood the process from start to finish. Tim's experience and excellent communication ensured a successful move. We had an issue with the driver of the delivery vehiclenot informing me of a delay and the Sonic team persevered and talked me through their efforts to get in touch with the driver. Ultimately, the vehicle was delivered in great shape and on budget. If I need to move another vehicle, I will definitely reach out to Sonic! Thanks Tim.

Local move within Florida

Automobile transport

I personally want to thank Jay Good and sonic auto transport for doing such a great job with the delivery of my car from New York to Florida amidst the hurricane Ian. They were able to delay the transport until the hurricane had passed. The car arrived without a scratch. Jay Good kept in contact with me the entire time to let me know the details and the whereabouts of the transporter. Great job.!

Local move from Fremont, CA to Los Angeles, CA

Sonic Auto Transportation

Hi, this is Purevdorj Batochir with TBA Group LLC. I thank Diego for his help in organizing the transportation of the 2013 Toyota 4Runner from the IAAI auction. He was attentive to every detail and gave me all the information I needed for this vehicle (VIN, buyer number, and lot number). It is a pleasure for me to work with such a professional as Diego, and I also thank SONIC AUTO TRANSPORTATION for their cooperation. Great customer service!

Local move within Arizona

Way to go Sonic and Kate!

This is a very competitive business and after contacting many brokers (they are all brokers) I finally felt I had found the Diamond in the rough. Kate w/Sonic was honest, timely, communicative and efficient. She worked tirelessly for days and days to find a transport service that would work within my budget and timeline to get my truck from Tampa to Phoenix.. and she came through! The driver that picked up my 4runner was personable, professional and after he back my 4runner on the transport truck, he put up my window shades.. and I didn’t even ask him to! 5 stars for Kate and for the transport driver! Trust you vehicle to Kate and Sonic. You’ll be glad you did! And no I didn’t get paid to write this! But I WILL be posting this across multiple platforms!

Long-distance move from Portland, OR to Dayton, OH

Bianca Anderson of Sonic Auto Transportation

Bianca was very helpful from the beginning of the process to the end. There was a bit of miscommunication when the driver “picked” up my vehicle but haven’t done so yet. Bianca was able to clear that miscommunication immediately and is very responsive in emails sent back and forth for updates. Overall, I had a good experience having my vehicle shipped from Oregon to Ohio and had no problems with it. Thank you.

Long-distance move from Mount Juliet, TN to Franklin, NC

Excellent Communication

Eliot reached out to me along with several other companies, but he was the fastest communicator and offered the best deal. Everything was seamless, despite having a driver back out due to a cancelation, Eliot quickly adapted and found me a new driver within an hour, and I still got my vehicle delivered sooner than I expected. I will definitely reach out to Sonic ,and specifically Eliot, next time I buy a car out of state and need transport.

Long-distance move from Rockford, MI to Venice, FL

STAY AWAY FROM THIS GROUP! THEY ARE AWFUL!

I hired this company to move my vehicle from Mi to Fl. They gave me a price of $1075 and said they would pick it up in 4 days. They lied. They, on THE DAY they were to pick it up, came back with a price of $2800. Then $1700. Two to three times their original price! As I had no choice I had to agree as I had to have my vehicle. I then never heard from them again. After countless! phone calls to them they state the transport truck now has transmission problems. Two more days go by. THEY NEVER CALL. We call them over and over. They never communicate. I spoke with Tim once when he called with the ridiculous new price, and he was a complete jerk. Now we have no vehicle and no time to hire others. DO NOT WORK WITH THEM. All these groups are just brokers who lie to you to get your commitment and then change everything. Just an awful group who could care less about your predicament or your needs. It is all about their needs. Horrible Horrible experience. Both Tim and Karen cannot tell the truth and are just awful people. RUN FROM THIS COMPANY!

Service cost: $1075

Official company response

Dear Linda, we are terrified to hear about such a negative experience working with our company. This price change is definitely unacceptable. We always try to keep our customers updated about each offer we get, but as per our system - there were no carriers available for the quoted price. Please, accept our sincerest apologies for all the inconvenience. We wish you a wonderful day!
