Direct Express Auto Transport is one of the largest auto shipping companies in America with over 21,000 vehicles shipped annually. The company is one of the very few that is Accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB has rated Direct Express "A+". Most of the companies with hundreds or even thousands of reviews on this board are not accredited by the BBB, or if they are, have a low rating. Over 90% of Direct Express Auto Transport customer vehicles ship inside of one week. The small number of complaints relative to its huge size has everything to do with the professional care of the Customer Service team. While not perfect, they have an amazing record of success. Please keep that in mind when considering your next auto transport move.

    Response:Our outstanding reputation including A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau speaks for itself. We are sorry that customer Charles Sansone of Maricopa, Arizona is dissatisfied, but most of what he asserts is false. Anyone can look up our BBB accreditation and see that it is so, and that it is A+. Mr. Sansone set up his vehicle as a VW Beetle, then switched it to a Bradley GT Kit Car, which is not in our system for a reason. So low to the ground, carriers are reluctant to haul it. We wish Charles Sansome lots of luck in all his future endeavors. [ view ]

    Response:Our outstanding reputation including A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau speaks for itself. We are sorry customer Anabel Achas is dissatisfied with the service. Unfortunately there were not 7-10 vehicles starting out in the Pottsdam, PA area heading to Lakewood, CA during the 12 days (not 17) she made it available. Ten percent of the time that happens, which we say upfront. We wish Ms. Achas lots of luck in all her future endeavors. [ view ]

    Response:Our outstanding reputation including A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau speaks for itself. The vehicle of customer William Hood was made available only two days ago and we assigned a driver the same day - that is very fast! The carrier encountered mechanical difficulty and will be delayed a few days, which is not at all unusual and most reasonable people are understanding. Sometimes, Mr. Hood, the airplane is delayed, the cable guy does not show up between 1 and 5, and the mailman comes late. Your vehicle, Mr. William Hood, will still show up sooner than you expected when you ordered. We wish Mr. Hood lots of luck in all his future endeavors. [ view ]
