Who has shipped their Evo?

Or other cars for that matter. I am moving soon, and looking for opinions from those who have used shipping companies.

Who did you use?, How was the overall experience? Damage?

Thanks!

I would recommend calling some high-end car dealers in the area you are either moving from or to and they should have some recommendations of who they use - you can bet they checked them out before they used them for a high-end car. My friend here in Chicago ships alot of cars around the country - but they use Chicago as a terminal - so that won't help you out too much.

I used DAs for my colt, from Cali to Fl.
It was not enclosed but it got here fine.

When I sold my car to a member we used DAS to ship it to TX.
They went over the car with a fine tooth comb before it was shipped and I believe on arrival.
This was a car carrier with tarps all around to protect the car. The car got there exactly how it left.

There are _many_ high quality auto shippers available on the net who will ship your car in an enclosed trailer and insure it against damage. Expect to pay about a grand for any reasonable distance.
