I had THE BESSSSTT experience with SGT! I was nervous shipping my car to start but SGT made it very simple. They kept their word for drop off and pick up. I am not a leave a review kind of consumer but this experience is worth talking about and sharing. SGT THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! I want to shout out my driver (won’t include his name) as well he was amazing , he picked up and dropped off with ease. Will def recommend and reside SGT when needed

WARNING! DON'T FALL VICTIM! They’ll tell you whatever you want to hear to earn your business, then disappear when deadlines aren’t met.
I recently purchased a Tesla in New Jersey and needed it transported to California. Before booking, I made it VERY clear to every company I spoke with that I had a vacation coming up in two weeks. SGT Auto Transport assured me that was “more than enough time” for delivery, so I decided to trust them with the job.
Our contract listed a pickup window between 5/8/26 and 5/12/26, with a guaranteed delivery date of 5/20/26. In other words, even in the worst case scenario of a 5/12 pickup, they claimed they could deliver the car cross-country in 8 days. SGT then subcontracted the shipment to a company called Ozuu Express LLC, the “reputable and professional carrier” they supposedly stand behind. Trust me, I’ll be reviewing them separately as well.
We heard absolutely nothing until the very last pickup day. That afternoon, I was told the driver would arrive between 5-8 PM and would call an hour before arrival. No call ever came, and the driver finally showed up at 8:20 PM (red flag #1). By then it was already dark, making it impossible to properly inspect the vehicle before handing it over.
Then things got worse.
For the next SEVEN DAYS, I watched my Tesla sit in the transporter’s parking lot through the Tesla app, without moving once. SEVEN DAYS (red flag #2). During that entire time, I repeatedly tried contacting Ozuu Express, but none of their phone numbers worked (red flag #3).
So I contacted SGT instead. Conveniently, their phone system suddenly had a recording claiming they were experiencing phone issues and directing customers to online chat support (red flag #4).
Since 5/18/26 (the day the car finally left New Jersey), just TWO DAYS before the promised delivery date, I have been in chat with SGT EVERY SINGLE DAY. Today is 5/21, and I leave for vacation tomorrow (5/22). All week long, I’ve been given nothing but excuses and vague updates.
SGT has repeatedly told me they’ve been “trying to reach Ozuu Express” to find out why the car sat for seven days and where it currently is. Apparently, they’ve been unable to get ahold of them ALL WEEK. Seriously? This is the company you chose to contract with and represent your business? (red flag #5)
At this point, it feels like SGT completely misled me just to secure the booking and has now washed their hands of the situation. Their attitude seems to be: “Whenever the car arrives, it arrives.”
Unfortunately, because of THEIR delays, I’ll now be out of town and unable to receive my vehicle until I return. And do you think SGT has contacted me to work out a solution, knowing I won't be home to receive the vehicle? NOPE. Not a single call from their side. They've completely left me to figure it out with the driver.
The driver called while I was away on vacation. Something I deliberately was trying to avoid from the very first call to SGT. I had no one there to receive the car and was told if I didn't let them leave it in my driveway, they would drop it at a tow yard and I would be charged daily until I returned from vacation. This is the service you can expect from them. AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE.

This place is a shame. They take your credit card and tell you they guarantee pick up and then they never call you back and your car does not get delivered. I called them 30 times and they ignore you. But, if you go on line to get a big, three people call you to make a bogus reservation.

Called the day of pickup and said the driver was unable to service us Had a second pick up driver at $300.00 more. We were able to negotiate it down to $150.00 by telling them to cancel Also. Because we we driving our second car when this occurred we had no way see the new contract . The new driver requested Cash on delivery. We believed that ,,like the deposit we would pay with the card . They were to deliver to a retail retail location we had attachments with . When they arrived four hours late and the store was closed. They did not contact us and did not drop the vehicle . We went crazy trying to locate the new driver . You cannot contact SGT by phone only chat. Never got anything acomplished with them. A day latter we were contacted by the driver and he refused to drop off without CASH payment . That afternoon we drove to the location and paid. If SGT rating is 4.4 it must be out of 100. Worst company we have ever felt with. S P Delorenzo

I had a disappointing experience with SGT Auto Transport regarding the delivery condition of my vehicle.
I was actually a returning customer and had completed two previous bookings with SGT without issues, which made this experience even more disappointing.
This time, my vehicle was delivered with new scratches on the left rear door that were not present at pickup and were not documented in the initial inspection report.
After reporting the issue, the communication and resolution process was frustrating and unhelpful. SGT simply copied the carrier into the emails and largely stepped away from the matter. The carrier repeatedly denied responsibility and continued sending the same responses without meaningfully addressing the damage claim.
I ultimately disputed my initial $100 credit card deposit under “service not as described,” especially since the repair estimate I received was over $500. Instead of focusing on resolving the damage concern professionally, I then received communications regarding potential collection actions related to this dispute, which felt inappropriate given that the issue was already under formal credit card review and being handled through the chargeback process.
In my experience, SGT did not deliver the vehicle in the condition promised at pickup. I strongly recommend that customers carefully document their vehicle with detailed photos before transport and thoroughly inspect the vehicle after delivery.
Besides the vehicle damage issue, I also had concerns with pricing changes before pickup. The original quoted price was $1,080, which was later increased to $1,150 two days before pickup. I agreed to a final price of $1,100, but I was still charged an additional amount at pickup due the [overload].
Overall, the communication throughout the process felt unprofessional, and SGT did not take an active role in resolving the damage claim. Instead, the issue was largely directed back to the carrier, and there was no clear effort to facilitate a resolution. After I proceeded with a credit card dispute due to the unresolved damage, I then received communications regarding potential collection actions, rather than support in resolving the claim through proper channels.

I was given a quote of $1,774 for a transport from Florida to New Hampshire. This is a lot higher than the normal $1,100 I usually pay, but gas prices are currently high, so I understood. When the dispatcher called with an available transport two days after my initial availability date (which was in the allotted timeframe), he told me the cost was $2,500. I told him that wasn't acceptable, so he quickly said, Okay, then $2,025.
I had no choice but to accept it because the way the bid process works is that you choose one shipper, and if they don't work out, you have to start over. Needing an immediate shipment from someone else would have put me at the mercy of their last-minute pricing.
The driver was fine and punctual, even delivered the car early. However, this bait-and-switch tactic is unacceptable to me, and I will not use their services again.
Update 5/21/2026:
SGT contacted me and offered $150 (first $100, then a counter of $150) for me to remove my review. I said that I would only edit my review, but would not remove it, so I declined their offer. They indicated the offer stands, so if I change my mind, I can contact them.
Therefore, my 2-star rating stands, and I will not be using their services in the future.

Believe the reviews. Great communication, good price, and safeguards in place to help ensure peace of mind that your vehicle will arrive in the condition it left when picked up. Example: My driver took about 55 photos before loading and sent them to me before arrival so I knew what to expect. Also no attempts to upsell. Would def. use SGT again.

My mom paid the amount n was sent a email stating they will pick up the car on a specific day nobody calls to tell us the car won’t b picked up that day. No calls No texts No emails where sent, non of the phone numbers that are being told to use to reach out to the company DONT work either mailbox wasn’t set up or the call would straight drop. And the live chats walk u in circles. They r dragging their feet but in the policy states they will charge a cancellation fee. Ain’t dat sum.

SGT made an found a transporter and contacted me the next day. We agreed on a good price and my car was picked up the next day. Easy and cost effective! Was delivered to Tennessee without a hitch.

BEWARE - DON’T TRUST THIS COMPANY or AIF Trucking, Inc!
We had a horrible experience with this company including:
1) Last minute booking of transport
2) Last minute “guaranteed” price escalation by 30%
3) Last minute price escalation AGAIN as car was being loaded on truck due to less than 100 lbs personal items in car (Carrier - AIF Trucking, Inc.)
4) On day of expected delivery, the car was 30 minutes from our destination, but the truck drove right on by to the West coast (Tesla tracks location). We didn’t receive our car until 5 days later after it had been detoured to Portland and Seattle - causing 5 additional days of rental car expense
5) No response from truck driver by text nor cell phone, no communication from SGT or carrier
6) SGT suggests you need to lock in contract to “assure” price and transport, but they really don’t start looking for drivers until eleventh hour.
7) You cannot cancel the contract without $200 penalty even if they can’t find a carrier to transport until the entire pick up window has passed
8) The contract is extensive and essentially has ZERO protections for the customer.
In short, this “broker” has curated its reviews on its website. Look around the net and you will see similar experiences. For the price we ultimately paid for this wild joy ride our car took around the country, we could have driven round trip in less time and FAR less expense (including hotels, gas, etc.) had we never used them. Be careful!

It was a wonderful experience getting my car shipped with SGT team! They’re reliable, efficient, and professional. My car got delivered two days ahead than the scheduled time. I’m very satisfied with this delivery! Would highly recommend SGT to every single one of you. Thanks SGT team!

I hired SGT Auto Transport after spinning my wheels for two weeks trying to arrange a motorcycle pickup on the northwest coast. I spoke with David in Sales, and he assured me they would get my bike picked up by a qualified driver, on time, and at the estimated cost. Honestly, my expectations were low after prior experiences, but SGT delivered exactly as promised. In fact, they exceeded expectations—my motorcycle was picked up and delivered even faster than estimated. The bike arrived in pristine condition with zero issues. The driver communicated well and really went above and beyond. Great job to SGT and especially David!

I recently ( may2026) booked SGT Auto transport to ship my car from Florida to Chicago. For an additional $300 I was told my date would be GUARANTEED. That date arrived and I was told they did not have a driver to ship my car. I guess they have a different definition of guaranteed. I will never, ever use SGT Auto transport.

SGT IS ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE AND PROFESSIONAL COMPANIES I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH. THEIR WORD IS THEIR BOND.! Lucknow further when you need your car transported. You will never be disappointed.

Disappointed!
I want to preface this negative review with compliments to the driver. Pasquel was professional, pleasant and responsive. He even helped my very elderly mother empty her belongings from the trunk!
My disappointment is with SGT.
I have used SGT for the past few years, a returning, loyal customer. This year, in spite of the
fact that I paid extra for a guaranteed pick-up, signed the paper work and agreed weeks
before on the price to go from FL to NY, they decided to increase the fee another
$200 just a few hours before assigning a carrier to me. SGT informed me it was the carrier who decided to raise the price at the last minute. Rather than SGT picking up that last minute upcharge, or even offering to pay half, which I believe would have been a better business decision, I was told if I do not pay, the carrier would cancel and find another customer. I agreed to pay because I needed to have them pick up the car that day. Maybe, not illegal to
do this, but surely unethical!.
