I had a wonderful experience working with Harry. He was prompt and great at communicating.
Would totally recommend! Great customer service. I called and asked if Robin can find us a driver right away to deliver a car from GA to MI. As we’ve been waiting for almost 2 weeks with another carrier. He told me he can get a driver to pick up the next day. He guaranteed it and delivered on his promise. In 2 hrs he sent me the driver information. The next day the driver picked up and delivered the day after. Driver was courteous and delivered our car safely.
Sonic Transport was very responsive throughout the process of delivering my vehicle. Cameron was super nice to talk to and answered my questions throughout the process. He kept up with the status all the way through delivery of the car. Something I learned was that the quoted price isn’t guaranteed until a driver is assigned to the job and the price may vary.
I have to say the service of Christian was excellent, his communication to me was consistent and always tried to find solutions and making sure my experience with the company would be great. However, I was not impressed by the fact my budget had to change on the day of scheduled pick up. I had set out to book early in advance and yet due to cancellation I had to then pay more than double the original amount I had initially booked for. Other occurred cost increased due to that an a simple trip ended being a financial burden. I’m still not happy with that…
Thank you for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your kind words about Christian and are glad to hear that his communication was consistent and that he worked hard to find solutions throughout the process. At the same time, we understand why the price change on the scheduled pickup day was frustrating, especially after booking in advance and planning around a specific budget. As a car shipping broker, our role is to coordinate between customers and licensed carriers for auto transport. We provide estimated quotes based on the route, vehicle details, timing, and current market conditions, but the final cost of a vehicle transport service is ultimately determined by carrier availability, route demand, fuel prices, seasonality, and other real-time nationwide car shipping conditions. When a carrier cancels or becomes unavailable, replacement options may come at a different carrier-confirmed rate, especially on short notice. We know that this can create additional stress and unexpected costs, and we regret that your trip became more financially difficult than expected. Our team works diligently to secure fair pricing and reliable door-to-door auto transport options, and we appreciate your feedback.
Deceptive communication, deceptive practices, deceptive Contract. Basically: a Scam. Quoted $450 for a car transport. Order clearly stated $450 with "initial payment" of $100 at time of dispatch. Then texted that the actual cost will be $1000. When I refused, I was told that then I am on the hook for a $200 cancellation fee. And it turns out their contract states (in fine print) that the "price" on the order is not binding (on them) and so Sonic can assign a carrier at WHATEVER price (even if customer does not approve). So if you don't like that, then the "cancellation" cost before carrier is assigned is $200. Or if they assign the carrier, then you are on the hook for whatever Sonic wants to charge. It is all in the contract. This is NOT how other companies operate.
We are sorry to hear about your bad experience. Sonic Auto Transportation operates as a car shipping broker, not as the carrier transporting the vehicle. Our role is to act as an intermediary between the customer and licensed carriers by providing estimated auto transport quotes and working to secure available vehicle transport service options. Our agreement also explains price variability. Section L, Price Variability, states that the transportation price quoted is based on recent shipments along comparable routes and that final pricing may be subject to change due to mechanical issues, weather events, carrier availability, Acts of God, or other unforeseen circumstances. This clause is included to make clear that an estimate may differ from the final carrier-confirmed price. Regarding cancellation terms, Section H, Carrier Assignment Window, states that the broker has up to five business days from the customer’s first available date to assign a carrier. If the customer chooses to cancel the agreement before the expiration of this period, a $200 cancellation fee may apply. We understand your concern about transparency and regret that the process felt unclear. Our team works diligently to secure fair pricing and reliable auto transport options. We appreciate the feedback and will use it to improve.
I have worked with James Williams a few times now and he has been great! He is quick to respond, friendly, attentive and gets the job done! He is always willing to work with us in making sure our transport gets handled appropriately. I highly recommend Sonic and James in particular!
Grace helped me get my car across the country for a reasonable price. Grace was very informative through the whole process. I felt informed and comfortable. Grace did a great job in particular keeping in contact and making sure each step of the way was timely and well understood. Thanks!
James was great to work with in the short window that I presented. My car arrived safe and sound.
James Williams was great to work with right from the get-go and was readily available with prompt responses to questions until the delivery was completed. He helped out with securing the driver right away at a good price and vehicle was delivered in perfect condition within the promised time. Would recommend to anyone looking to transport vehicles across country.
Jeremy is the best customer service thank you so much very kind. Very good service.

Thomas Miller coordinated our car transport and did a fantastic job identifying a reliable driver. Both Thomas and the driver were extremely polite and professional and provided up-to-date accurate information throughout the process. We will definitely use them again!
