How to Ship Your Camaro

As a Camaro owner and enthusiast, keeping your vehicle in great condition is extremely important to you. In fact, allowing others to handle your Chevy Camaro is probably something you remain skeptical of and who could blame you? Nevertheless, there may come a time where having to ship your Camaro elsewhere is the best or only option. Fortunately, there are a lot of auto shipping companies out there that are familiar with handling the transport of a Camaro and other highly valued vehicles.

Find the Right Transport Company

Perhaps the best thing you could do for your Camaro when you need to have it relocated is to find a transport company with a positive reputation and years of experience. The Internet will be your most useful resource during your search for shipping companies, and sites like a1autotransport.com will let you compare shipping quotes online for free. Whether you are in New Hampshire or another state, there are transport companies nearby. Always start your search for a transporter locally.

As you scour your online resources to find the right transport company to ship your Camaro, pay close attention to the characteristics of each transporter you come across. There are certain qualities that any genuine transporter will possess to prove the dependability of their services.

• The transporter will be approved by the Department of Transportation and carry all of the proper licensing.
• They will offer insurance coverage for free to guarantee the security of their shipping services.
• Past customers will leave positive reviews and ratings online. These reviews should be easy to find through the search engines. Read them over before hiring anyone for the shipping process.
• Any long standing transport company will have an assortment of transport services and features to choose from, no matter what type of vehicle you need to have delivered.
• The customer service representatives will be friendly, helpful and full of valuable information.
• They won’t ask for any money upfront. If you are ever asked for a large down payment or full payment before the services were conducted, be cautious. You could be dealing with a scam artist. This is why researching the company before hiring them is essential to the successful delivery of your Camaro.

When you have finally found the right transport company for your vehicle, schedule your transport date and begin preparing for the big day as necessary.

Get the Camaro Ready for Its Travels

Aside from hiring the best transport company you can find, you will need to assure that you prep your Camaro as requested. Any transport company concerned with the safe delivery of your vehicle will have a small list of prerequisites that they will hold you responsible for. Fulfilling these requests will only protect your Camaro and those handling its delivery.

• Wash the exterior of the Camaro making sure all dirt and debris is removed. Clean out the interior too and only leave floor mats, a spare tire and a car jack. Any extra weight is bad for the transport and may even raise the rate you’re expected to pay.
• Remove any non-factory items. Transporters can ship customized vehicles, but as the shipper, you may be subjected to higher costs. If you do not wish to remove any extra items you added to the Camaro over the years, consult with the transport company about the modifications to see what they suggest.
• Inspect the Camaro for damages and write down any markings you are aware of. Take pictures of the outside and inside of the automobile. This type of documentation can be used after the delivery has been made and you are ready to give the Camaro another quick inspection for any possible harm caused by its delivery process.
• Check all fluids. Unless otherwise asked, all fluids should be full with the exception of the gas tank which should read ¼ or less full. The tires should also be filled with air.
• Disengage the alarm system and battery if asked.

and that my friends is how you ship your Camaro.
