May be looking to bring a car from QLD... Who's done it? Who'd you use? Were they good? Did they look after the car? How much? Etc etc etc... Any info appreciated...

Had a quick look, People have recommended http://www.autotrans.com.au/ or tnt. Tryed to do the quick quote but i guess they get back to you on it. I remember we took my mums car via train from sa to alice, was around 300, but that was 10years ago. edit: just did a quick quote on http://www.automove.com.au/ via truck, $452 from brisbane to adelaide. Thats with nothing in it, so i dont exactly know what that means, but 1.2k, with stuff in vechicle

patrick autocare, they are cheaper than autotrans and are just as good plus online tracking of your car depot to depot means less handling by others than door to door

Dont they do an inspection of the car before it is placed on the truck? When I worked at a Holden dealer the cars were inspected by the driver before leaving the facotry then by us at the Dealer before receipt of the vehicle took place... Did they end up fixing the door???

No issues at all with transporting mine with Autotrans, Had a full write up of the car which was written in front of Kane when he sent it over, and they went through the same thing to check for any possible damage on the way over. Was all good.

autotrans used to be the cheapest but they recently put up the prices hence why I use patrick autocare now same service as autotrans, similar depot locations, damage listed prior to shipping plus cheaper prices and tracked location
