They gave us a quote of $ 545 to have a 2001 Miata sent from Pennsylvania to Arkansas , said it usually takes 3 to 10 days for pickup and approximately 3 for delivery.

Thanks ! George

It's been over three years now, but I'm pretty certain this is the same company that shipped my '95 miata, my wifes four month old Honda Accord and a couple of our other cars from New Jersey to Wisconsin. To cut a long story short, when they arrived at our place in WI my Miata had a very badly bent muffler/exhaust and a badly scraped rear bumper. The Accords hood, wiper arms and plastic cowl (I think thats what you call that piece of plastic across the bottom of the winscreen) was covered in small round shaped discolorations, and the cars were splattered with some kind of red soil or clay. When I asked the delivery guy what the hell happened he said he was only a sub-contractor and I should call the shipping company. I called their insurance/damage claims deptartment and although they had me jump through some hoops and my contact was not the friendliest guy, he eventually authorized me to get the repairs done. The other two older cars which I did not care about much came back ok...typical.

Even though they agreed it was their fault, I still ended up having to pay the deductable on all the repairs that needed doing, which I think came to approx $300.

Repairs were: new muffler, and repainted rear bumper on Miata. New cowl, wiper arms and body shop having to use various solutions to buff out the discolorations on the Accord.

Bottom line is inspect when they come to pick up, and inspect even more when they deliver OR keep looking for another company OR save yourself some money and drive it down yourself over a leisurely couple of days.

Good Luck

We used DAS to ship a Lexus from Seattle to LA without any major problems. It did take them a little longer than promised. However, I do agree with some of the others. Take lots of pictures and inspect the vehicle very carefully both before and after shipping.
