Quick and easy service.
Helping me get my truck from one place to another 3 hours away was made so easy by Sonic Auto Transportation!! They kept in touch till the delivery was done. Was very professional and easy to talk to and deal with. I will definitely use them again!!!
The initial price quote was just made up. I was told $865. Then, once the call went out and drivers started responding, the price immediately went up to $1450. I obviously refused. After some back and fourth, the final price dropped to $1250. $325 more than quoted, I proceeded with the transport order. Once assigned, I was sent the driver's company name and contact info. I tried to call them on multiple occasions but never talked to them. I left messages, sent text and made multiple calls... no response. When they finally showed up 2 days later, they couldn't speak English. Found out the insurance, protecting my vehicle, is from the DRIVER and not the BROKER. WHY DOES THE BROKER GET $250 AND THE DRIVER GETS $1000 (for 2 days of hauling/driving). A bunch of lies from a bunch of foreigners. The only positive is that the vehicle arrived in one piece. Thanks for that.

Great services, constantly communicating status of the drive. No surprises, No price change.
Don't ignore the 1-Star Reviews. They're real experiences that will also happen to you if you choose Sonic. When I inquired about car shipping from MD to CA, I was quoted $795. I confirmed the exact shipping date that I needed weeks in advance and was assured by Grace Flores that it'd be no problem, so I pay the $200 deposit. Sonic pulls a class a BAIT and SWITCH move. Two days before the ship date, I get a call from Luke Howard saying the cheapest truck available for my shipping date is $1550 - DOUBLE the estimate I was given. He starts making nonsense excuses like it's a popular route, trucks are full, etc. etc. But what I'm wondering is, if they're truly professionals in this industry, why wouldn't they know this ahead of time when giving me the quote? They start to give more excuses like "$795 is a cheapest a driver has accepted previously for this route, so that's what we quoted." It's all nonsense. I already know how Sonic will respond to review. They're going to say they can't guarantee the price when making a reservation. They need to understand their market demand better, rather than BAIT and SWITCH customers. Anyway, because I needed to ship my car, I book the $1550. Luke said he'd give me the driver's phone number; he never did and I needed to follow-up. The phone number he did give me wasn't the driver. That person hands me off to someone else. Luke said I'd be getting a 6-car truck; I got a 12-car truck. Luke said I'd be able to track the location of my truck - nope, not available. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND SONIC. TLDR - Don't trust Sonic unless you're ready to pay DOUBLE the estimate they give you.
I should have headed the warning and the BBB! Save yourself the headache and just check BBB first! This company is know for scamming and poaching clients. I wanted to get my car transported. I was previously quoted 925. Sonic said they could beat that price at 695. 2 days later they contacted me saying I now have to pay 1300 for the vehicle or pay a 200 cancelation fee. I was promised one price then they tried to strong arm me into a cancelation fee
Was a great experience. My first time requesting this kind of service. They tried to get me a lower price but the prices vary from the original quote. But I'm happy I have my car with me. Data, the driver was very professional and took care of my vehicle and delivered it on time.
Recently (last week) used Sonic to transport a vehicle from the Phila area to South Florida. Pricing was comparable to some of the competitors, but what made me use Sonic was the number of positive reviews on TrustPilot and even if a slightly negative review Sonic has a 100% reach out to resolve issues. No other company came close to the very large number of positive reviews. This industry is noted for having some bad players, but rest assured Sonic is above all that. David was my consultant and he was great! Even during the weekend if David wasn’t readily available his assistant stepped right up. The driver they utilized for the actual transport was fabulous and took very good care of our older Saab. Car even arrived in record time! We will use Sonic again and I highly recommend David and his company.
Great communication, fair price, amazing customer service.
Christian was great with working and communicating with me and making sure my vehicle would get to Dallas on time and safely.
Great service, very professional. Exceeded expectations.
Harry from Sonic transport made getting my vehicle shipped from Ohio out to me in Colorado easy and painless. He gave me a great upfront price with 0 surprise fees. The vehicle was picked up on a Saturday and arrived at my front door by Monday afternoon. Harry kept me updated from the time I booked to the time the vehicle arrived at my door. I highly recommend Sonic transport.
Robin Vasquez communicated very well and was quick to respond to any questions/concerns. We will definitely use Sonic in the future for our car shipping needs!
Jasmine, with Sonic Transportation was so helpful. I was up against time as it related to having my vehicle transported from Cali to Texas. The previous driver that was contracted via another Transportation Co.backed out of the agreement to transport my vehicle. I contacted Sonic Transportation & spoke with Jasmine. She guaranteed me that my vehicle would be picked up & transported by a certain date. It was not only picked up by that date, but actually picked up a day earlier. Thanx Jasmine for your conscientiousness & thanks to Sonic Transportation for your expedited service.
I am incredibly impressed by James. He was swift, efficient and helpful with his responses and always available to me when I had any questions. He made sure the entire process went smoothly. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a smooth, highly competitive and affordable option to have their cars shipped
Harry was helpful and communicated throughout the process.
I worked with Derek Hicks to transport my car from Georgia to State of Washington. The price was very reasonable. I was given a 2 day window, the driver picked up my car not far from where I lived(approx. 1/2 mile). The car came within the expected delivery range with not a scratch on it! I met driver approx 5 min drive from my home in Washington to pick up car.. Overall, it was great experience!! I would recommend.
Harry is very helpful . I would recommend this shipping company.
Harry did a fantastic job. He took care of me and went the extra mile to make sure my needs were met. Highly recommend sonic transportation to take care of your car transportation.
