If you need to move
to your new location with a car or truck, follow the next check
list which will show you useful information about how to prepare
and protect your vehicle. |
 |
clean the
car: |
Please present the
vehicle to your auto transporter in clean condition. This allows
for quick and fair evaluation of the vehicle's condition prior
to shipment. |
 |
check the tank: |
The fuel level
should be about 1/4 of a tank. |
 |
remove personal
items: |
Auto transports are
weight sensitive, so there should be a minimum of personal
belongings in the vehicle being transported. Valuable items,
especially, should be removed. |
 |
lower antennas: |
This includes
temporary antennas such as those for cell phones or CB radios. |
 |
provide all keys: |

Transportation requires that all keys be provided for the
vehicle, including ignition, trunk, glove box, and/or other
keys. |
 |
turn off alarm: |
If there are special
instructions to start the car or disarm the alarm, please let
your auto transporter know. |
 |
remove Racks: |
Non-permanent
luggage, bike or ski racks should be removed. |
 |
inspect the
glass: |
Point out any window
nicks, scratches, chips or cracks to your auto transporter. |
 |
prepare for the
climate: |
If the weather will
be different at your destination, you should prepare your car
before shipping. This may include engine coolant, transmission
oil and other fluids. |
 |
remove spoilers: |
Spoilers, fairings,
air dams or other low hanging items should be removed to
expedite loading and reduce the risk of damage. |
