    Working with Mercury Auto Transport to ship one of my vehicles was an easy and efficient process. I worked with the senior logistics agent Jesus ** to find an affordable, timely, and accommodating shipping partner for an older modified car, and throughout the process Jesus kept me updated on pricing and availability for drivers who would be able to work with a lowered vehicle. The responses were very timely and provided all the information needed. The delivery driver also took great care and precaution in ensuring the undercarriage of the vehicle was not scraped or impacted during loading and unloading and provided updated ETAs throughout the drive. Overall I am very satisfied with my experience with Mercury Auto Transport and will come back again for any future vehicle shipping needs.

      I would like to take this opportunity to thank Logan ** for his professional and businesslike demeanor. I very much appreciated his transparency free of gimmicks and games! From the early on stages, Logan explained in detail how the process works from start to finish. Logan continuously reminded me that he works for the consumer (me) and works hard to find the best carrier for my needs and that when I was content with the carrier/price/day/date/time/place of pickup and drop-off then he did exactly what he said he'd do! Should the need arise in the future to ship another vehicle, I'll be sure to contact Logan.

      I originally hired a different company and had to get a refund. They did everything wrong from the beginning. In the meantime, I received an email from David explaining to me how the trucking industry work. Once I knew what to expect, it made it a lot easier. He was very willing to work with my schedule, which was unique, and did an outstanding job. He was in contact with me throughout the whole ordeal. The hard part I had was paying for it through Zelle and Venmo, some of the truck drivers will not accept cash apps and it's hard to handover $2300 to a truck driver when my Apple is not working, Martin Luther King banks were closed, etc. but we managed to figure it out. David and Mercury transport made this possible and a lot easier for me. I would recommend them to anybody if I ever do this again.

      Stay away from this place. Horrible experience. Not responsive and not helpful at all. Offered me a refund on my deposit if I took a Yelp review down. No way. My car is AWOL. If I don’t have it in my possession within 48 hours it will be reported to the police as stolen.

      Spencer has been exceptional for me. He seamlessly executed two car transports in 3 months for me! I had a car transported from Texas and California to Maryland. I will continue to use Spencer and Mercury Transport going forward! This was my first time using cross country transport. Spencer was able to my transport $300 less than the dealer’s offer. I will recommend Spencer/ Mercury transport.
