30 reviews on “Sonic Auto Transportation”

I sought car transport from coast to coast and I got hooked up with John Gardner of sonic auto transport. From the first phone call, he was very professional, respectful and courteous and clear with everything. We even had a last minute mishap with transport and he managed to fix it right away for me. He gave me constant updates with the driver and spoke to him on my behalf when I was traveling. Will definitely use again in the future if I need any car transport. Thank you so much John Gardner.

I would give 20 stars. I transported a 2017 Toyota Sienna, quoted and paid $1300 from Spokane Valley, Washington to Ogilvie Minnesota. Alex is very polite, kind and keeps her promise. Shipping rates reasonable and on time. Alex sent very soft, polite, kind and good drivers each time. I would use Sonic Auto transport again and again. I recommend Sonic to everyone who has transportation needs.

John was my broker for Sonic Auto Transportation and he did a superb job in communicating with me through the entire process.

I requested that 2 BMWs be transported from Lorton, VA to Orlando, FL and although they were issues beyond their control (flat tire of the original transporter) the broker was able to immediately find another transporter, and both vehicles were still delivered on the original schedule date.
The price quoted was $950 however with the extra belongings in each vehicle it went up to $1250 which was reasonable.

Joseph was very nice. He went far and beyond to find me a driver. I had to ship my car from Sioux Falls, SD to Topsham, ME. The car arrived in good condition. The whole process went very smoothly. I would definitely recommend Sonic Auto transportation.

I chose Sonic Auto because majority of the reviews were good and they had the best quote. $575 from Dallas to Los Angeles. Car transportation service is volatile but Stella Newman came thru. Day of transportation my original driver cancelled due to truck maintenance issues. I was prepared for this very issue and in this industry you have to be prepared. Fortunately Stella found me a driver same day as my contract but I had to pay $25.00 more than my original quote – not bad compared to other situations. If your looking to transport a car, be prepared for any situation. In the end my car was delivered to my satisfaction within budget.

Stella Newman did a great job getting my Ford F150 from Fl to TN after it broke down on vacation. Her pricing was fair and inline with the quote. She kept me informed during the entire process. Awesome Job Stella!

Bianca was great to work with. She was always helpful and provided plenty of information to all of my questions. We had an issue with the first driver but she found a second driver who could pick up the car a week later, although at a higher price. Aside from that, it was a pleasure to work with Bianca and she made the shipping experience very easy.

I have to say, I find it curious to read other reviewers who also had an issue with their first driver on the day their car was to be picked up, and then ended up with a second driver at a higher cost. Sonic was the second company I went to after having this same “issue with the first driver” with Pride Car Shipping. I cancelled business with Pride after the second driver was quoted at a much higher price and went to Sonic, hoping everything would go more smoothly. Once again though, there was an issue with the first driver on the morning of the scheduled pick up. And once again we couldn’t get another driver to honor the originally quoted price so I was left with no choice but to pay a higher price for a second driver as I had a fast approaching deadline to ship the car.

I enjoyed working with Bianca and she really was friendly and helpful. I’m not faulting Sonic for the problem with the first driver, but there seems to be an alarming tendency in this industry for the first driver to fall through at the last minute and then to end up paying more for a second driver. If you’re planning to ship a car, just be aware that you may encounter the same experience.

The team at Sonic did a great job in coordinating and managing a vehicle transport for my family. Fiona Rivera lead the effort and was very professional and responsive to questions we had. She was great to work with. I would recommend their services.

Alex Frost is the man!! In today’s world it is hard to find such a stand up guy. He came through on every thing he said. If you like me have read the horror stories of shipping a car rest assured this is your company just ask for Alex Frost

Sonic Auto Transportation signed a contract with us four weeks in advance of our needed shipping date. They were priced similar to other transport companies. We needed my aging mother’s car shipped from CA to TX to accommodate her wheelchair. I received confirmation a week out, the day before and the day of shipping. At the time the driver supposed to show up, I got a cancelation notice via text. No one would call me back until the next day. When they finally called, I stressed I needed the car by a certain date, they said they could do it, but it would be double the cost from $1,000 to $2,100. This was true extortion. I have since shipped with another company and had a smooth experience. Do not use this company.

Great communication. Choose really good reliable carrier and didn’t give me the run around when things didn’t go as planned. Things happen if you don’t know that about transportation you’re setting yourself up for failure. Anabel is great! Got the job done and was so friendly and helpful!

Fiona and her assistant were extremely pleasant, resourceful, knowledgeable, and provided all information that I needed whenever I asked about the shipping of my vehicle. It arrived in the timeframe that they said it would, and it was a seamless transition. I will definitely use them in the future. Their professionalism was what won me!!

After severval quote from carries and broker, i decided to choose Sonic Auto Transportation, because they have the bumper insurance for my Toyota Camry transport from TX to CA. But the most important is the representative of the transportation, Bianca, she make everything clearly and easily.
Once again, this is my happy feeling, the prestige and experience transportation with good price, Sonic Auto Transportation, and Bianca, she is skillfull and freindly with high conscientious. Besides, i need to thanks to Baba Logistic Transportation, they are good driver, good service.
Thank you for everything, thank you Bianca. I love you. Bianca.
