BT Auto cannot be trusted with the transportation of a car. The driver of my 1961 Corvette from TX to FL went on a 56 mile joy ride during the 4th of July weekend. My car was picked up on July 2 and I was told that because of the Holiday, my car would not leave TX until July 5th. My car arrived July 8th in one piece, but with 56 extra miles on the odometer. When picking up my car from TX, my aunt told me the driver said he could not drive his truck to the house, so he drove my car away. Upon reaching FL, my wife told me the driver drove the car to the house, claiming again he could not get his truck to the house.

I consider myself lucky that my car arrived in one piece, but a company that would take my car on a joy ride cannot be trusted for business. I only wish I had read these reviews before I looked for a transportation company. Take some simple advice, don't go with the lowest bidder and don't use BT Auto Transportation. Anyone with a problem with BT auto should write the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and make a complaint.

When working with 18 wheelers, it is sometimes impossible to reach the exact delivery address. We will get as close to the final destination as possible. At that time, we will either schedule a meeting place within a mile or so of the location where our truck can safely park to load and unload vehicles, or we will offer to drive the vehicle to or from the location of our truck. If this is the option the customer prefers, the vehicle is covered under our insurance from the moment the driver takes possesion until the time the customer signs off accepting the vehicle. As for Mr. Pelly, he did not make a complaint to the BBB, nor did he make a complaint to our company therefor we were not able to investigate and take disiplinary action against the driver in question. I agree that anyone who has a problem or complaint deal with it through the BBB, that is what they are there for and we are a member and work with them to resolve any issues brought forth. At BT Auto Transport, we value all of our customers. When transporting a vehicle, we believe you should research any company you consider using.
