Our customers' feedback and experience with us:

Leonie
from South Dakota
I used SGT Auto when my car broke down. They did the transport from South Dakota to Washington and it took one day. The driver texted me that it was there and I was able to pick up my keys. It was in perfect condition just like I had dropped it off. The driver was good but I needed a translator because he didn't speak English. Other than that, I'm very happy with SGT Auto. They know their stuff.

Why Should You Choose Us? What Makes SGT Auto Transport one the best Car Shipping companies in South Dakota?

SGT Auto Transport isn’t the only game in town - there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to car shipping companies in South Dakota. So what is it, then, that makes SGT such a standout choice:

At SGT Auto Transport, we’re all car enthusiasts ourselves. We know what your car means to you, the attachment that it holds that goes far beyond Blue Book value

We treat everyone’s vehicle like it was one of our own, and that’s part of the reason why customers keep coming back to us when they need a South Dakota auto transport company.

We have a real dedication to our customers and we insist that the job be done right from start to finish.

That’s not just cheap talk, it’s central to how we do things at SGT.

Types of Vehicle Transportation Services we provide in South Dakota

Every customer has a different vehicle and different circumstances, so we offer a few different logistics options for cross country auto transport:

Open car transport: everyone’s seen the trucks that deliver cars to dealerships, and that’s what open car transport is about. Your car is loaded onto a double decker trailer with several others, making it the most economical way to get your vehicle to its destination. Cars are exposed to the elements this way, but it’s good enough for automakers and new cars, and it’s our most popular logistics method that we offer. 

Enclosed car transport: this is a good choice if your car is very rare, delicate or valuable and you have concerns about its security. Enclosed car transport means your vehicle is loaded into a trailer and protected on all four sides, then locked in for its journey. Enclosed car transport does come at enhanced cost and driver availability can be scarcer. 

Express car transport: it’s not always possible to plan ahead a couple of weeks for an auto logistics job (though it’s preferable). If you’re in a hurry to get your auto logistics job on the road, we’re ready to help with express car transport. 

Cross country auto transport: all auto transport estimates are based partly on cost/mile. If you have to cover several hundred miles, though, cost per mile starts to go down, making cross country auto transport an excellent value. 

Prepare Your Vehicle for a cross-country Auto Transportation to or from South Dakota

When it’s time to load your vehicle onto the transport truck, we want that to be an easy and stress-free process for you. Here are some tips:

Remember to ship your vehicle with a quarter tank or less of fuel. Curb weight is a big part of shipping costs, and less fuel means less weight. 

Please inspect your car for any fluid leaks: motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid. 

Please be sure your battery is fully charged, all four tires are inflated and the headlights and taillights work.

Don’t forget to leave a copy of the ignition key with the driver, and don’t forget to get the driver’s mobile phone number - you’ll need this to stay in touch with him. 

Some communities prohibit a heavy commercial truck  on residential streets, and sometimes city streets are too congested for that to be practical anyway. If your street might be a problem for loading your vehicle at curbside, consider scheduling your pickup for someplace more open, such as a parking lot. 

Please let us know in advance if your car is not in running condition. We can transport inoperable vehicles, but it does require special equipment for loading and more time on the part of the driver.
