Great Service
 

I just used Reliable Carriers to ship a car I just purchased from Irvine, CA, to LI, NY and it took 5 days from the time I called to arrival. The driver Sean L. was a great help because were are in the midst of a major rain/wind storm. The pricing was less that the others carriers and the service was more than I could have asked for. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Great Service
 

We are honored to be working directly with Reliable Carriers again for MCACN II.

There are several truck loads currently being arranged now from the west and the east, so let me know if you are interested in joining up with one of them, or if you need info for shipping from anywhere else. [email protected]

I wish I could say the same. 2 weeks and counting and it still not picked up. No answers, no dates, no idea. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img] Now, the fellow I purchased the car from is going on vacation so it is going to be put off for another week. Thankfully, he is patient and understanding.

Re: Great Service
 

Give Bob Sellers a call - he is the GM at Reliable and the point guy for the site sponsorship. Im sure he would be anxious to give you a hand. Ill PM you his number.

Re: Great Service
 

I have played phone tag with Bob but have not talked to him yet. After today's phone call to the main office in MI, I find out the car was to be delivered this PAST Saturday (6-19-10). I then spoke to the dispatcher in AZ and I must say, he was not very impressive to talk to. He did nothing more than tell me Paradise CA is out of the way and implied how difficult it is with a big truck. Perhaps, I selected the wrong firm to transport a car. I had purchased another car from this fellow a couple of years ago and will say, It was NOT this difficult.

Thank you for forwarding Bob's number and your own help. Hopefully for Reliable's sake, this is the exception and not the rule.

Re: Great Service
 

By mistake I recommended Reliable, to a friend(X) who purchased a car near Denver, CO and needed it shipped to PA to add to his collection.

X agreed with quoted price, paid up from via credit card and was given a pick up date. The following day X also recommended reliable to one of his friends.

X’s pickup date came &amp; passed, since no call from Reliable, X calls the seller, asking if car was picked up or any calls from reliable. NOTTA.
X calls his reliable sales person, Al, and asks about pickup date, Al tell him next day they will pick up car since they have a truck in the area. Next day comes and passes… no calls same deal. Al tell him a few more days. This went on for over two weeks.

X calls again, Tells Al he wants to talk to a supervisor or someone in charge, Al said he was the one in charge, the owner, Al Abrams. they got at it on the phone al, ask well what do you want me to do? X tells him get my car to PA!!

4 weeks after the original scheduled date to car arrived, actually both cars arrived.

***While this fiasco was going on I PM’ed Bob Sellers ... no reply.

sad to say, I think Reliable just lost those two customers.(X and his friend)

.....seems like if you not going or coming from a large auction, BJ, Mecum, etc.. youre shoved aside until THEY have time. my .02

Re: Great Service
 

This shouldn't really be a problem...Reliable is not the only company to transport cars...cancel with them and hire someone else....

Agreed. Now......... an update. I spoke to a Pete at the office in MI as well as an Al in AZ. Again, I was offered excuses from the AZ office. I was left with the impression the car, location, and I suppose the job was a bother. My conversation with Pete in MI was decidedly different. I had answers, dates, and a plan that was followed by a sincere apology. I should have my car next week.

My choice for Reliable was due to a few reasons.
1. They have a huge fleet. It was my opinion this would reduce my delivery time.
2. They advertised well. By supporting the site, as well as their presence during the auctions, I felt they were a cut above the rest. Furthermore, I had good references. Both from the site as well as some of the local guys that are in my circle of buddies.
3. They were reasonable. The price was a little more tha 20% less than some other carriers I inquired with. As mentioned before, price is not everything.

Re: Great Service
 

I just went through a shipping quote process via internet search and deliberate (I knew the names I wanted to check with). I was - surprised - to find a DIFFERENT Reliable named company. When they called to followup on their quote, I thought they were the orange truck Reliable Transportation, they were not ... .

The REAL Reliable is known as &quot;Reliable Carriers, Inc&quot;

800-833-7411

they have 4 terminals: MI, CA, AZ and FL

they are a sponsor of this site and the ones I have worked with since the early 80's

I was confused when I was sorting through the calls and the results as the OTHER one is called &quot;Reliable Auto Transport&quot; their number is (800) 689-6498, their local number is (417) 257-2402

Just a heads up on the names of various companies

(FYI, the REAL guys came in 25% ABOVE most of the others, I chose to use a local that has been hauling for decades, Gary Boyse, he has a 3 car rig and I had 3 Camaros to be picked up in Monrovia)

Re: Great Service
 

Another great experience with Reliable Carriers. I shopped around and they again had the lowest price by 20% over Intercity, Horseless &amp; Passport. Great service at affordable prices.

Re: Great Service
 

I found that too. But, the price was overshadowed by service that took 6 weeks with a lot of complaining and phone calls on my part.

Re: Great Service
 

Sorry to hear about the experience you had. I was just stating my recent experience I had this week with Reliable. They agin went above and beyond my expectations. This is a very low mileage survivor car and knowing Reliable was delivering the car put my mind at ease. For you Chi town guys its a Dick Fencl Chevrolet car.

Re: Great Service
 

Hope all works out for you Steve. If you don't mind me asking, what did you get? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: Great Service
 

The car is a 1969 rs/ss white, black deluxe loaded with options. 15k miles with orig belts hoses tires a time capsule. I will have a write up shortly in members rides.

anticipating Great Service
 

I am anticipating great service. Shipping from the middle of nowhere, Doniphan, MO. I only choose Reliable because they are a sponsor of this site, even though they cost a bit more and offered no sYc member discount.
