Cameron does a great job at communicating with you all the way through the process so there are no surprises. My car transfer to Florida went smoothly and on time. This is my second time using Sonic Transportation.

Charged double, then repeatedly pressured for a review

1 out of 5

I was charged more than double the amount quoted on the contract I signed. They did not explain this potential variability to me until after they had spent a prolonged period looking for a carrier and assuring me they would find someone at the quoted price. When they finally found a carrier, the price was more than double the quote. I was told this was “normal” and felt pressured to sign and pay immediately while on the phone. Despite this experience, I had no intention of leaving a negative review. However, starting about 30 seconds after I paid, I began receiving repeated text messages asking me to leave a review, including requests that I mention Robin Vazquez by name. The messages continued over the following weeks. I responded explaining that I was dissatisfied with the service, and why, and asked them to stop contacting me for a review. After receiving yet another request, I blocked the number. Several weeks later, I started receiving text messages from a different number, from someone introducing himself as Diego at Sonic Auto. He stated that they "... did not get any feedback from me about the delivery and our service..." I responded again with my concerns and again asked them to stop contacting me. I then received an email from Diego at Sonic with nearly the same message, stating they "did not receive any feedback" from me and asking me to provide it as soon as possible, even though I had already provided feedback multiple times by text. The repeated requests for a review ultimately prompted me to write one. Based on my experience with the pricing, pressure to complete the transaction, and continued requests for a review despite my requests that they stop contacting me, I would not use Sonic Auto Care again and do not recommend them.

Awesome car transport

5 out of 5

I worked with Luke on tranporting a 2002 Lexus SC430 purchsed in CA and delivered to my house in Delaware. I placed the order on Tuesday afternoon. They picked up the car Wednesday morning and had it delivered the following Tuesday. I received a price qoute in advance before i purchased the car. They did it quickly for the agreed upon price and i had contact with the driver throughout the trip. They are awesome to work with and i highly recommend them
