I have used das with good results. Dependable auto shippers. Good luck with the move. Maybe tow it youself behind a uhaul if that is the way you are going. I even moved some real nice cars myself in a budget rental box truck. Used a flatbed to pick up the car. Backed the the flatbed up to the box truck and drove the car in. Strapped her down nice and off we went. Same price as paying an autohauler but I knew it would get done right if I did it. 1949 mercury and a real sweet 72 trans am with an 8-71 blower.

Default Auto shipping ?

I've never heard of any problem with 'Reliable Auto Transport" I think they do work for most of the televised auto auctions ? You have to find one who isn't going to cost you half the car's worth, but be bonded and consistent in their handling of your car, and going with a cover trailer will keep stone chips away. No sense of paying for a damaged paintwork.

Reliable will take car of your car. They do excellent work! I have worked with them in moving GM cars all over the U.S. You are right in there area. They have there headquarters in Canton, MI.

You can rent a truck from u haul and a trailer to put the vette on. This way you know its safe. You might have to put a few pieces of wood down by the ramps to drive up onto othe trailer.

Good luck
