Montway Auto Transport is unprofessional and lacks integrity

The only reason I am giving Montway Auto Transport 1 star is because I did eventually receive my cars, and other than a dead battery, they were in the shape I was expecting. They failed to deliver within the 48 hour window they indicated. Much of my disappointment is with Montway’s lack of, or seemingly intentional inaccurate communication provided to me. The most difficult was being told by the driver he would arrive at a certain time but not show up and not call to indicate his schedule shifted. I am a reasonable person and asking for communication about promised delivery times is not an unreasonable expectation, heck it is just common courtesy. I understand that giving an exact day and time is not possible given all the variables involved in across-country transport; however, providing inaccurate information ongoing is beyond disrespectful. The original delivery was Tues or Wed but when both of those days came and went, I had to call them to find out what was happening. Then being told we will be there Wed at 7:30 pm but again to no avail- they did not arrive- again no call to me so I had to contact them because I am sitting in the parking lot of a public location to receive the cars (I live in the mountains and roads will not accommodate semis) and being told “sorry will can be there at 10 pm instead”. Because of the late hour we agreed on deliver the following day no later than 11:30am. No surprise 11:30 came and went and my call to the driver again gave a “sorry, I will be there at 1:00”… wouldn’t you know it, no cars at 1:00. They finally arrived at 1:30. After being misinformed and lied to three times, I contacted a supervisor and they apologized for the ongoing inconvenience but could do nothing for me. I paid $3000 to get two cars from RI to CO and was required to take three days off work to be available to meet the driver. I found this entire experience unprofessional and unacceptable! Montway Auto Transport lied to me not once, not twice, but three times. So because the only thing management can provide is an apology, coupled with poor communication (and most of the time no communication), and unprofessional staff (along with the requirement of me sitting in a public parking lot for a total of 9 hours) is why this company deserves ZERO stars.
