Our business is built on a few different tenets, things like trust, reliability, service and honesty. That’s all foundational to us, and it all adds up to one thing: relationships. We see every customer as an associate and an advocate for what we provide, and we aren’t satisfied until the job is done and done correctly. It’s what’s at the bottom of everything we do.

As car enthusiasts ourselves, we just like cars a lot and we understand what a vehicle symbolizes to its owner, and the emotional bond that we all develop with our cars. So whether it’s a beater 60s Ford truck, a rare hotrod Dodge muscle car, a high-end Cadillac or an exotic supercar, your vehicle is going to get taken care of and attended to just as carefully as if it was one of our own. We’re mindful of every detail, we dot every I and cross every T because a job done right is just as satisfying and important to us as it is to you. 

Los Angeles is surrounded by at least 88 suburbs, each of which has its own autonomous city government, but you may not know you’ve crossed from one suburb to another unless you see the city limits signs. 

Los Angeles is served by Interstate highways I-10, I-5, I-405 and I-105 as well as State Routes 210, 71, 241, 55 and 14, among others. 

Desirable neighborhoods in Los Angeles include Sherman Oaks, Encino, Silverlake, Studio City, Tarzana, Westwood, Boyle Heights, Northridge, Laurel Canyon, Century City and Granada Hills.

Traffic in Los Angeles is the stuff of legend; it can be pretty difficult, so bear that in mind for your auto transport plans. Traffic there, like anywhere else, sees spikes and surges around the holidays. 

Los Angeles’ climate and weather are considered mild to hot, with little rainfall (usually) and low temperatures in the 40s during the winter. August is the hottest month, with temps usually in the 90s. 

Los Angeles has been an early adopter with EV technology, and there’s no shortage of charging stations around the city and the area. 

With over 21,000 miles of highways around the city, it can get confusing; navigation and GPS are good ideas. 

Bear in mind there are several toll roads in the Los Angeles area, and you’ll need to think about getting a toll tag. 

Whether you need a car or not depends on where you live, your commute, and how you like to spend your rest days. Many of the neighborhoods are walkable. Plus, the city has one of the nation’s best public transportation systems. Options include the Metro Rail, bus, train, or bike share.

The city of Los Angeles has 107 neighborhoods. Some of the more expensive ones include Hollywood Hills West, Brentwood, and Westwood. Porter Ranch is worth considering if you’re on a budget.

Remove any personal items from the car, as well as taking off any detachable accessories like antennas, bike racks or cargo boxes. 

Make sure your car is parked in a location where it can easily be loaded into a trailer or onto an open transport trailer. Streets in Los Angeles neighborhoods can be pretty packed, and might have restrictions on commercial vehicle traffic. If you think there could be a problem, maybe you should arrange for a different pickup spot.

If your vehicle can’t start, run and drive under its own power, let us know ahead of time. Sometimes people ship project cars and vehicles in need of service, and getting a non-running vehicle onto a trailer requires a winch and other special equipment. 

Make sure that the driver has a spare key to your vehicle. 

To make it easier to sort out any details in advance, we’ll put you in contact with your transport driver. 

Be certain that your car’s headlights and taillights work, the battery is charged and all four tires are fully inflated.

If your vehicle has a convertible top or sunroof with a manual override, please disable that feature. 

Be mindful of the calendar dates when you are planning your auto transport job. SGT experiences surges in shipping jobs during certain seasons, which means more traffic on the highways, a possible scarcity of available transport drivers, and higher rates. Consider rescheduling your shipment if it falls around one of those periods.

It’s really helpful if we can have at least a couple of weeks of lead time to schedule your shipping job. Last-minute hotshot shipping is available, but it comes at extra cost.

Remember to keep checking back on the SGT Auto Transport site for specials - we do run them frequently, as well as offering a standing discount for military members. 

If you possibly can, it’s better if you are there personally to take possession of the car. Your transport driver will want to get together with you to give the vehicle a quick once-over inspection and make sure that everything looks good, and that its condition matches what’s on his Bill of Lading. If you can’t be there, it’s okay to task a friend, relative, spouse or neighbor with this detail; just make sure that SGT Auto Transport knows about your plans in advance.

If you chose discount shipping at the time you booked your transport job, your driver may ask you for the balance of what’s owed. You can pay the driver directly with cash, cashier’s check or money order.
