The requested pickup date was 4/2 and Viking came back with the best pricing at $500. I signed a contract with them at a cost of $110 to Viking and $400 to the driver at... [ More ] |

It says that we are unreliable but yes, we found two drivers. Avalon Trucking and Nationwide Carriers. Customer did not pay for the vehicle therefore the seller did not want to release it. So we did keep his deposit because of the two trips for wasted time, money, and gas. Customer was well aware of this order and refused to put in another order when he finally paid for the vehicle so we cancelled the order and parted ways [ view ] |

| SCAM!!!! Unreliable and Dishonest | | I signed a contract with Viking to have my son's car transported. The estimated pickup was 11/12/2011. We were told there would be a 2 day window. We weren't contacted for a pickup date. Tried to call several times and no answer. If they did answer... [ More ] | | You were was contacted by this office to inform you that the truck that was assigned to pick you vehicle was late in arriving at the pick up location, that we would contact you in the next 24hrs to inform you when the driver would be picking up their vehicle. When Viking contacted you, you informed you that a truck was assigned to pick up you vehicle was on the way, you informed this office that you had made other arrangements and you no longer needed our services.
You never called this office to cancel your agreement with Viking Auto Transport as it’s stated in our Service Agreement.
Viking Auto Transport did not breach their contract, we had a License and Insured truck on the way to pick up your vehicle.
It is clearly stated in our Service Agreement that deposit is only refundable as long as Viking has not assigned a truck to pick up your vehicle.
Even though you are not entitled to a refund,Viking has decided to refund your deposit in full, as you are quite aware of it. So we suggest that you stop posting frivolous reviews.

| Viking Auto Transport | | The pick-up was one day late, requiring me to find someone else to handle the pick-up. I told Viking, yet the man was rude and condesending.

[ More ] | | Unfurtunetly Sir delays do happen in the trucking industry as it does in mos transportation industry. The driver was delayed and he made every effort to pick up your car on a timely manner which he did, Because he still picked up under the 3 day window that we require. And your car was delivered safe,sound and in a timely manner.And the driver was not able to get into your neighborhood because you live in a tree line street which would have damage the other vehicles that he had on the top level. Which you oviously do not respect that the driver did not want to damage any of the other cars he had on the truck. So we feel that your review is frivolous. [ view ] |

[ More ] | | Mr Rony we at Viking Auto regret that your car was not picked up on a timely manner. I will make a strong point addressing your comment that we lied to you and gave you the run around. You did not mention in your review that we provided you with three different prices to move your car, and you chose the least expensive, it as explained to you that the price that you were choosing was the cheapest, so your car was last in line, since there were other cars paying more to drivers. This was all explained to you at the beginning, but you still chose the least expensive way, that usually takes longer to pick up the vehicle. If you could have waited two more days we had a driver for you confirmed to pick up your vehicle. But when we spoke to you, you told us that you did not wish to wait that you would make other arrangements. Again we emphasize that Viking did not lie to you or gave you the run around on the contrary.And your deposit has been refunded infull. R.H. [ view ] |
