In our experience, American Auto Shipping offers timely customer service with helpful agents. Our secret shoppers were able to get help with a quote quickly and have their questions answered. This is reflected in many American Auto Shipping customer reviews as well. Reviewers mention timely vehicle pickup, great communication, and professional drivers.

American Auto Shipping isn’t the cheapest company on our list, but it isn’t the most expensive, either. However, the enclosed shipping quote we recently received was $500 more expensive than the open shipping quote for the same route, which is on the higher end of enclosed shipping price increases when compared to other providers.
