I contacted AGAPE Transport to pick up my car in GA and bring it to FL. I had a bad experience with a company prior to AGAPE and when I spoke with Jermey @ AGAE he seemed friendly and helpful. We paid the priority rate to have the car picked up in 3 days or less. Sure enought the car was scheduled to be picked up the next day. I thought GREAT, that was fast! However, they called the contact person at pick up and gave them 10 min notice that thy would be there and could not wait! WOW, this person rushed home to meet them. After the car was loaded, I called Jackie @ AGAPE and thanked her for the fast service and asked about a delivery time. Jackie didn't know but said that the driver would call me about 6 hours before delivery.
While I sat at work an hour from the delivery site, I get a call from my mechanic saying they were there with the car and were making a scene for the remaining $500 they were owed! NO PHONE CALL, NO COMMUNICATION......NOTHING!!!! Come to find out, the delivery driver and his co-driver (wife) spoke not one word of english so they could not communicate with me on delivery!!!!!! AGAPE was a good company and easy o work with, but the people they contract to haul your vehicle is AWFUL to say the least! To finish this nightmare of a story, when I finally arrived at the drop off location, both the driver and his wife were very angry that I wanted to check the car out prior to signing and demanded that I sign and pay the money so they could get going..Thank god for translaters!
So if you want stress, no communication and rude, disrespectful drivers, this is your company!!!

We are shocked and caught off guard by this review. Kerry was extremely happy with our service as she noted. The carrier we assigned to pickup Kerry's vehicle is highly rated in this industry and does a wonderful job. So we were very shocked to see her review. The carrier has been portrayed poorly by Kerry and this story is not completely accurate. The carrier did call several hours in advance to deliver to the body shop. The reason they did not call Kerry is because she was not listed as the delivery person, the body shop was. When they arrived for their appointment to deliver the vehicle the body shop informed the carrier that they had not received payment from Kerry and were going to have to leave the vehicle and contact Kerry for payment. The carrier did not make a scene but did tell them that they were not going to unload until they were paid, per the terms and conditions of the contract Kerry signed. There was no damage to the vehicle and the carrier did not expect Kerry to sign the bill of lading and pay them before inspecting the vehicle. The carrier was portrayed completely incorrect because Kerry was upset that she had to take time to go give the money that should have already been given to the body shop. We do our very best to make sure the process is quick and smooth for the customer but we need our customers to do everything on their end to make sure that the process is smooth in order to prevent situations like this. We truly are sorry that the situation was stressful for Kelly. We do try our very best to make our customers experience hassle free and smooth. We only use the highest rated carriers in this industry and that is how we maintain great reviews. Kelly thank you for your business we greatly appreciate it.
