I live in a remote small community in central Nevada. My 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro (4 wheel drive) had a blown motor, no one in the area could work on it. I had two alternatives, the first was to rent a truck and trailer and drive it myself, or hire an auto transport company to come pick it up. I tried hiring an car carrier, but after six weeks they never showed up. A friend suggested www.uship.com, I check into it and singed up, immediately I started to receive bids on my vehicle. Ultimately I found Martin and hired him to transport my van to the shop in Olympia, Washington, some 900 miles away. Martin's fee was $300 less than renting a truck and trailer, not to mention taking the four days away, food lodging, and fuel for the truck.
