Recently there have been companies that have been conducting themselves in an unethical manner and we at American Auto Movers felt it was important to make consumers aware of it.  In an effort to lock up business, some car shipping brokers have started to bid low on relocations and then required the consumer to prepay a deposit to “reserve space on the truck.”  In some cases, because these companies quoted the customer so low, they have a hard time finding a carrier to move the vehicle.  Since the customer has already paid a deposit, they feel obligated to stay with the company as they do not want to forfeit the deposit they paid.  Unfortunately, the consumer can sometimes end up waiting weeks for their car to load.  The difference they could have saved in car rental fees could have been put towards using reputable auto shippers and the entire problem could have been avoided.
