If this was your car that you have worked on and knew the condition of it
before it was transported - you are the best person to judge what
might have happened ....

So, it was the exact same trailer that it was loaded in that it came out of ?

In the exact same spot on the trailer with the other cars that were on the trailer when it was loaded ?

You are 100% certain it was never transferred - offloaded - loaded - parked in a lot ?

Multi car enclosed transport is seldom direct from pick up to drop off ....

Like a commercial drop shipped package - it makes the rounds ....

From firsthand personal experience hauling hundreds of vehicles,
I have never had a mechanical issue with a car I have hauled ...


At the end of the day - you get what you pay for ....
