Yep, my 2007 ZO6 to Fox Lake Illinois and then my 17 GS Collectors Edition back to Texas. They had several high end cars in the trailer both times, Ferrari, Porsche, Maybach. No problems.

I used them to transport my 19 GS from Criswell Chevrolet to Oregon. Their communication was not great, but they had an online app which made it handy for tracking.

Unfortunately my GS arrive damaged. The back spoiler wes chipped from something falling on it and both side skirts were damaged on the bottom in the same spot. The driver was really apologetic and I felt sorry for him. Their insurance company made good in the end, so I was able to replace the damage, but it was still a shitty experience to see you brand new (5 miles on it) Corvette get unloaded with a bunch of damage. It also took 3 months to get through the insurance process, so I spent my first summer driving around a new "damaged" car.

To this day, I think there was something fishy about the story. The driver said a rack had fallen off the top track and landed on my car damaging the spoiler, but hit nothing else. He had no input on the damaged side skirts. The reason I think something was odd, is because during a layover at their LA facility, there was an update to the original Bill of Lading. The updated BoE had a box checked that said "Damaged". They deleted that BoL (I wish I had gotten a screenshot!) quickly and replaced it with the original one. My car was at the LA facility for almost a week. A few weeks after I got the car, I noticed that there are 2 small areas on the back that have touch up paint on them. Granted, they did a good job and you can't see it unless you get it in just the right light, but they are there nonetheless....Perhaps it was a dealer touch up, but I doubt it.

Just my 2 cents.

Not being completely transparent on ALL damage is unacceptable. Did you involve Plycar senior senior management?

Moved my Z06 from MD to Oklahoma in 3 days. Contacted me every day and took great care in delivery process. Rene Gonzales was a great guy and equipment was top notch.

IMO anytime you use a hauler where cars encounter "layovers" and/or changes trucks/drivers etc chances of risk increases dramatically. That's why I like Intercity as once cars are picked up they stay on same truck with same driver until delivered and don't encounter layovers waiting to fill trailer. Also, cars are double wrapped with both car cover and plastic to guard against damage and drips/spills etc..

I have used Intercity at least 4 or 5 times, flawless service and always a little cheaper than the others. Only downside is they are almost always 2 to 4 weeks out. After I pay for a car I try to get it out of where it is ASAP. Thank you for your reply. Frank.
