The driver picked up the vehicle two days after pre-arranged date. The shipment went two weeks later than pre-arrange date, and the driver tried to charge me extra $100 which wasn't mentioned when I placed the order.

Thank you for the review. I apologized that the driver had issues with his truck that delayed the delivery of your vehicle. Not having the correct phone number for delivery also delayed delivery. At time of pickup in Texas, Terry, (driver) informed your representative that due to the amount of items inside the vehicle, there would be an additional $100 fee and wrote the fee on the bill of lading that your representative signed. That fee was also waived by the driver. Hope your new job is going well and you are enjoying California. Best Wishes ~ Parker Family

Excellent service, we moved our car through them from PA to TX , they were the cheapest in all quotes procured. Provided door to door service and delivered the car on the promised date. We asked for pickup on 26th , later we were told that there is a 2 day window to pick, they picked up on 28th. But delivered in excellent condition without a scratch and on time. In case i have to move again I wont call anyone else :)

This was the ABSOLUTE WORST customer service experience ever! The only thing they ever communicated promptly on was taking my deposit on paypal. Probably so I couldn't dispute it on my credit card. The email requesting payment didn't even identify the name of the company or service. I had to call for a quote after I used there online system after several days. When they finally congratulated me for letting me know that one of their subcontractors accepted the order to ship my cars, I researched the subcontractor for ratings. The company that "accepted" me had horrible ratings from everyone including the Better Business Review "F". Additionally, a few other ratings reported that cars had been taken off the trailers with one customer reporting 400 miles being put on their car and another one with a red light ticket!!! Even after sharing what I had found with Joann Parker she indicated that she had lots of confidence with this subcontractor. She did offer a refund a one point but I told her I would trust her judgement. However, after another round of very poor response from Parker and very last minute call from the subcontractor about pickup, I elected to cut my losses. I frankly don't know how Angies List can give this company an "A" rating with the percentage of "F", "D" and "C" ratings they have. When I finally expressed my exasperation with Joann Parker she informed me that I should have just let the system work. Joann, if this is your system...i.e. knee jerk response to communication and selection of bottom feeder subcontractors, I would suggest that your system is sorely in need of some professional management. Additionally, I strongly suggest that Angies list not give this company an "A" rating. I would never recommend them ever! I will be calling Angies List with further comments.

We have procedures that we follow due to the fact that we put a lot of time and effort in doing our job. If we don’t have a policy that we stand behind, then we will fail as a business. This wasn’t a matter of poor planning on our end, as the options were clearly conveyed regarding the refund of your deposit 5 days prior to load date. I am sure that most people don’t realize that is cost $1.00 per mile to drive down the road in a big truck, for which the deposit does not even cover. Then for you to refuse to give the driver your vehicles, caused a domino effect at the last minute, is simply not a $200 cost. It also created havoc when having to fill those two spots and make other customers late on pickup and/or deliveries. Bottom line, it is just like the airlines. If you chose to not get on the plane, they do not refund your money. With your experience as a Quality Executive in the Aerospace Industry, you should be very aware that there are procedures that must be followed in order for a company to succeed. Unfortunately in our 15 years in this industry, we have had to learn the hard way and that is why these procedures are put in place. Negations to refund money, to avoid slanderous statements, per your email, are not something that we are willing to avoid when you clearly did not follow the guide lines of this process. This has nothing to do with DOT ratings or otherwise, because the options were given to you 5 days prior to load date to find another driver or cancel. Our goal is Complete Customer Satisfaction and that is why we set guide lines.

As far as I can tell, Parker serves as a broker and had an independent trucker do the transport. The car arrived early, which required me to fly back to Buffalo to get it.

Thank you for the review. Not only are we a broker but we also own trucks. If we are unable to get you on one of our trucks, we will put you with a driver that we work with. I work out of one of my semi's and my husband drives. Leanne is our daughter and she does the quotes. She is based in Colorado. My brother-in-law drives one of the trucks and he is based out of Las Vegas. Mike & I are based out of Arizona. We are a family owned and operated business. We also have another driver that is only enclosed. I am sorry your vehicle arrived early which caused you to have to fly back to Buffalo. Hope you are enjoying your time in Buffalo.

It went great. The biggest concern about car transport is whether the car will be picked up promptly, and it was. Beypnd that, it's whether the car is taken good care of, and it was. Finally, the delivery to my home was prompt and polite and perfect. All good.

Contacted Parker based on a review on Angie's List.? They provided a price and approx. date.? I then used PayPal to give them the $159.00 deposit. It is apparent to me that they are brokers.? They found a local company to then handle the actual move.? Jacobs Transport did the hard work and I plan to review them on here?as well. The car arrived in FL less than 24 hours after it departed NC.? Very Very pleased!

Parker Auto Transport was great. ?The day I put my order in to transport my mother's car from New York to Florida it was picked up. This is one of the busiest times of year to transport cars from New York to Florida and I was concerned we would be waiting days for it to be picked up. ?The driver was professional, courtesy and eased my mind that my mom's car was in good hands. ?Thank you!

I was extremely happy with this service. ?I'm always nervous turning my car and possessions over to strangers, but everything went well. ?They were late picking my car up, but it was due to massive amount of traffic. Honestly, I'd rather wait for them at my location, than have to drive and meet them off the interstate. ?One note, I packed my car full with stuff, and they charged me $40 extra. ?The car was dropped off and in great condition. ?I will definitely use this company again.

I signed the contract on Friday, September 20 and sent the deposit and to my great surprise was notified that within 24 hours the Corvette was scheduled to be picked up. I contacted the previous owner of the car that evening and the carrier had already called him to let him know about and arrange a suitable time to pick up the car. The driver was professional and polite and loaded the car without any problems and I was pleased that the previous owner had a pleasant experience. The schedule would have had the car here Tuesday the 24th but the driver had other deliveries on the way that tied him up an extra day and I was informed of the delay and was told he would arrive on Wednesday. I called on Wednesday to see what time to expect the delivery and found out that the driver was on the way and would call me when he was a little closer but it would be within the next few hours. The car arrived after the driver called about an hour before the delivery and we met at a parking lot as I live in a rural area and a truck would not be able to deliver to the house. The car arrived and it had less than that 1 mile since it was loaded which was great [and was one of my biggest concerns]. I paid the balance of the contract to the driver and we went through the condition of the car and there were no problems. I expected the car to be filthy from the trip on an open air carrier but it was fairly clean. Overall this was an great experience with MJ Parker trucking and Joanne Parker and Leanne. When I e-mailed them with a question they got back to me right away and gave me the information I was looking for. I would not be hesitant to call them again for any transportation needs.
Description of Work: MJ Parker Trucking arranged for my Corvette to be transported from Missouri to Massachusetts. I chose them after speaking to Joanne Parker and learning that they are a family owned company and both transport and broker for other carriers - that they have used before. Since everything that I had read on the internet seemed to be a horror story I relied on Angie's list for some opinions and gave then the job.

One of our cars arrived with a new flat tire. It was a Sunday and since the office was closed, we had to call them on a mobile phone they provided. Joanne answered and was clearly annoyed about getting a call on a Sunday, and simply didn't want listen to what happened or help with the resolution. She just wanted to repeatedly state that the car must have had a slow leak before it was picked up!! Our neighbor watched the entire pick up process. It took the carrier over 3 hours to load 2 vehicles on a car carrier. The driver drove the car 1000+ feet down our street to get it onto the truck - which is where the flat happened. A HUGE nail was lodged in the tire, and obviously the cause of the flat and obviously would not cause a slow leak. After what felt like an eternity, Joanne stated that the trucking company has insurance, and to make a claim with them. One of the worst customer experiences we've ever had in any business/industry. Would highly recommend against using their service.

I am sorry your vehicle arrived with a flat tire. Until you have it looked at, we don't know why it went flat. Sunday morning I was at the grocery store paying when you called. Your first words to me, "My car arrived with a flat tire and you are paying for it" ok You were wound up when you called me and several times I had to tell you that I did not want to argue with you. It is a flat tire. Have AAA come out and change it out for you and take the flat tire down and see why it went flat. To have a Fire Drill over a flat tire is a wasted Fire Drill. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hope the repair went well.

I needed to repossess my Jeep after a friend "borrowed" it and drove it from MA to FL. I worked with another friend who lived there to help from that end. After obtaining several quotes and reading reviews, I went with Parker to transport the car. They did an excellent job, brought it up faster than expected, no damage, and at a reasonable price. The driver was also very professional and kept me informed by phone as he was nearing the destination.
